>>384706656

Finished that game the other day. Not a bad game, but the story and excessive use of the Batmobile made it disappointing.

>>384706656
I won't
the port is still hot fucking trash
once you are past 80% in the game, the stuttering is surreal from districts

and it is all because of Denuvo

>>384706656
For what? It's a shit game for retards

>>384708373
nobody cares about pcbros. take a hint.

>>384707681
they shoved the batmobile down your throat because otherwise you would realize it's just the same game as arkham city

When do they release the version with all the DLC included?

The Batmobile controlled perfectly, but tank mode was lame and far, far overused. The story was fine but I don't remember Scarecrow feeling as important as he should have.

Pyg side quest was the best mission in the entire game. Prove me wrong.

>>384709459
I think it's called Deluxe edition, at least on Steam.

>>384708968
Batmobile was forced and comprised a lot of the game. I'd rather fight Deathstroke face to face instead of fight off a bunch of drones for five minutes, who line up their shots like pool, and then I move away at the last second. Then when they fire a missile you hit right bumper. It's so repetitive.
>>384709659
He needed more power tools, but I agree.

It really would've been a legitimately good twist that the Arkham Knight was really Hush, with Bruce Wayne's face. It would've been a clever reversal of the "twist" in the Hush comic book, where Jason's seemingly revealed to be Hush at one part in the story. Using it without the Clayface twist would've been a good surprise, as opposed to denying that he's Jason Todd and then revealing it at the last minute by announcing Red Hood DLC before the game's out. As it stands, the story and gameplay's a disappointment with some good bits in between, like Pyg or Man-Bat.

>>384707681
It feels so weird to have all that Batmobile gameplay.

Seems like they decided they wanted to finally bring the game to Gotham, open world and all, and someone on the dev team said "Well, we need the Batmobile then".

Then you have a small team trying to incorporate the mechanic in the game for it not to be just a blander way to traverse the map. Lets face it, the game is better when you are gliding around gotham feeling like Batman,

Those tank missions and platforming witht he Batmobile where horrible and out of place.

>>384709467
He felt like a bargain Joker.

>>384711038
What they should've done is find a way to make the grappling mechanic more fun, as opposed to just mashing R1 and X or A repeatedly. Or work on gliding, as well. The Batmobile is a dumb gimmick, few people play a Batman game to shoot at things.

>>384711208
Yeah, but I guess traversal is just not Batman's thing.

Hard to make him feel fluid and still feel like a tank. High hopes for the new Spidey game to get their swinging right.

its still pretty fun dude just that the batmobile sections are pretty off putting at times. theres some pretty cool new features to combat and gadgets. if you like the challenge map portions then you'll have alot of fun with that. personally the predator ar challenges are one of my favorite things about the arkham series.

I enjoyed Arkham Knight. It might not be as good as City, and is on par with Asylum, but I liked how they ended everything and it was fairly solid overall.

>>384711038
>>384711208
Ditching the tank mode and keeping the Batmobile as a way to quickly traverse the city would have been fine. Rolling around in the car was really fun, it handled like a dream. The battank felt out of place because Batman doesn't shoot real guns at people, the Batmobile is an anti-riot vehicle, not a literal tank. If Batman had to fight tanks and shit in the Batmobile it would be by sneaking around and nonlethally disabling them, not blowing them up.

>>384715975
>>384716348
i just did that part for the first time last night an yea it was pretty poorly handled. wasnt he at least main villian in Origins though?

>>384716528
>wasnt he at least main villian in Origins though?
Barely. I can't really recall since I last played Origins when it was new, but I think you only fight him either once or twice in the whole game. He remains in prison before reappearing in the ending where he's recruited into the Suicide Squad.

Speaking of tanks, why didn't they put at least a few thugs in those fucking tanks. Batman doesn't try to kill after all. It would've given him a bitch of a time dealing with them.

Can you imagine if they'd actually gave you a choice to either drive him to a specific arena location where you would fight him one on one because why not, it's Batman's last night as far as story concerned at that point. Or just straight to GCPD if you don't want to fight him because you're above this shit.
Everything in the third act was so rushed I'm surprised game actually had an ending.

If they didn't fuck up the Arkham Knight twist into being the most obvious fucking person then it would have been a lot better.

The twist with Barbara was handled fairly and you can notice it if you pay close attention to that particular scene.

And every single thing with Joker was great with him mentally stalking you everywhere and shittalking constantly. Being able to encounter him just hanging out on a rooftop was neat.

No need to literally run them over jesus, doesn't that kill people?

>>384717795
I do wonder what actually happened in there. Barbara had to be in there even if she didn't kill herself. Did Scarecrow just zap her with something?

>>384717678
I wouldn't have minded the reveal if they had done it sooner and made him Red Hood from the start. The point of Jason's character isn't Batman trying to figure out who he is, it's Batman struggling with the knowledge that he failed his surrogate son. Dragging Jason into the story doesn't work if you don't have Batman learn the truth only just before the whole story ends. It defeats the point.

I like how they handle the situation if you do decide to lock yourself up first. Fear is a powerful motivator.

>>384717678
It is a new character sort of. Arkham Knight is new, but not Jason.

>>384718338
Seems like such a way to handle the difficulty of how to clear the streets of thugs prior to Batman hitting them.

>>384711646
batham has never had good boss fights, even the ones in arkham city sucked

part of the problem is that the combat doesn't really lend itself well to boss fights

>>384718134
Not really sure myself. Bats is already well fucked up already not just from getting gassed in that room but from his previous bat family failure with Jason. It probably wouldn't take a whole lot to shake him up over that.

Not to mention he took a fucking massive amount of liquid fear serum straight to the veins back in Asylum in addition to the gassing. That plus the Titan exposure from City has surely fucked him up over the long term.

I disagree. The times where you actually do have a proper fight like Pyg, the nigger Joker and Killer Croc in the DLC were great. They didn't do anything spectacular at all but at least they were fights.

>>384718397
I honestly kinda disliked how hallucinations worked in this game.

AK is severely underrated. The details in this game are amazing and the graphics are top notch. Story is cool and there are a lot of nice characters. Yes the batmobile was a little bit too much but I liked it because the thing felt so nice to drive and shoot.

I was fine with how Fries played out. All the interactions with Fries in City wouldn't have meant much if they just went with the same thing about keeping Nora on ice forever in the next game.

Gives them both some closure and was a good scene. Shame Fries will almost assuredly kill himself when Nora dies but at least they have the end together.

>Story is cool
The story of Arkham Knight was very muddied. It was so unfocused. What is the main conflict of AK? Is it Scarecrow and his fear toxin? Is it Todd coming to fuck Batman's shit up? Is it the Joker fucking Batman's mind up? The story can't make up its mind, and the whole thing suffers for it. For example, Scarecrow's role in the story was to be a vehicle to get Todd into Gotham and the Joker into Batman's head. That was his big contribution to the story. After you BTFO his plan in chemical plant, his job in the narrative is done, and all further involvement in it just distracts from the big conflicts he helped set up. It's especially egregious to hear him keep mouthing off at Batman over the city's TVs even after Batman foils 3 of his master plans all in the span of a single night. Similarly, Todd feels very impotent -- he's meant to be a big threat to Batman but because Scarecrow won't shut up and go away he can't do anything. He spends the whole time yelling at you COME FIGHT ME OLD MAN I MEAN IT I'LL FUCK YOU UP I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU FAG TRY SOMETHING but he never fucking DOES anything until after Scarecrow gets BTFO for a second time, at which point the game is 70% over. Think about how much screentime that stole from him. We waste so much time stopping Fear Toxin plans #2 and #3, when we could have been fighting Todd and whatever his master plans would have been. Actually make the fact that he dragged a whole fucking army into Gotham matter and be the focus of a masterplan or something. His questline is never actually resolved, either. The reveal that he's Todd happens way to late in the game for it to be meaningful in Batman's struggles with keeping his family safe, and it never gets closure. He helps Batman escape Scarecrow's final trap, and then what? Where are the scenes of Batman and the others meeting up with him, deciding what to do with him, reconciling with him? He just fucks off and kills Black Mask. Lame.

He would have burned down literally the whole city. I can understand working with someone like Penguin or Twoface in "renovating" some old buildings in order to unlawfully expedite the process of building fresh mob-controlled properties or something, but Firefly's deranged.

Honestly, it was incredible. Not perfect, but the whole experience is so goddamn immersive. The atmosphere and "feel" of it all is spot on. Nice variety of side missions and abilities. They did well.

Doesn't that happen prior to the main story? He did that so that Black Mask couldn't leak out at all that AK was really Todd. Tying up a loose end since the dude didn't want in on the master plan to take down Batman.

I hate this retarded meme. This is exactly what the arkham games get wrong unless youre a retarded casual. Not a single actually good portrayal of batman shows him as the batgod that you find in the arkhamverse. Im still waiting for the day where I get my ground zeroes/ chaos theory with batman and a lieu of well designed missions in asylums, prisons, sewers etc instead of an empty open world

>How is this not batman?

Batman is human unlike the thing in the arkhamverse that can take on 50 thugs alone. The gadgets are a neat gameplay element but they are glorified combo tools 99% of the time or are used in riddler puzzles (which never actually has anything to do with figuring out the correct gadgets yourself). The games feel extremely floaty and actiony and the environment is merely a background instead of a gameplay element (like in a proper stealth game, here the stealth segments are just particular encounters with gargoyles littered around the room)

I dont hate the arkham series and I regularly replay them all but they certainly arent the optimal batman experience for anyone that actually cares about the character

>>384721025
I guess the animated series came out before you were born? Although Id gladly take link related over whatever the arkham games are offering

Yes, and he is portrayed like that in every fucking media.

First off this is almost literally a predator sequence from the games, just from the perspective of the thugs, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. Second, unironically linking fights from Nolan's films kind of invalidates your opinion because Nolan is fucking terrible at them and it means your taste is garbage.

>>384721764
>Yes, and he is portrayed like that in every fucking media.
>Are you mentally challenged?

No he isnt fucking retard. Almost every batman story/ continuity worth anything portrays batman as a flawed character. The batgod meme is a new thing and mainly spawned from crossover comics (see: justice league) where batman needs to be potrayed as being on the level of metahumans. Every single high profile batman comic (the killing joke, the dark knight returns, the long halloween, arkham asylum, year one) he is mostly hiding and running away/ outsmarting his enemies instead of being able to take everyone out with his fists. 99% of the fights in something like the animated series are him struggling with even two thugs. I fucking hate this board


>>384721572
>First off this is almost literally a predator sequence from the games

Somewhat agreeable but with all the "gamey" elements removed from it, which is exactly what serious stealth games tend to look like in action

>Nolan is fucking terrible at them and it means your taste is garbage.

>>384720703

>Not a single actually good portrayal of batman shows him as the batgod that you find in the arkhamverse.

The only reason of why arkhamverse Batman could be considered a batgod is because of his endurance, but hey, he's still a superhero, it's just another depiction of Batman and i think it's valid.

>well designed missions in asylums, prisons, sewers

I agree mostly with Origins, the open world was horrible, the worst i've seen in my life for several reasons. Knight open world was necessary, for the Batmobile, and the city was lively and fun to explore.

>Also I'm loving every laugh about your insistence about MUCH DARK AND GRITTY REALISM. You are aware that this is capeshit, right?

where did I mention "dark and gritty realism" you fucking idiot? However, dark and gritty is exactly what batman is and has been ever since he stepped out of the silver age. Realism on the other hand is the one thing that potentially separates him from the average capeshit. Youre a retarded clown who actively opposes a character/ a brand growing and improving because your brony tier manchild brain wouldnt be able to handle adult entertainment. No wonder youre defending the arkham games as an actually good potrayal of the character

>>384721860

>I dont give a fuck about fistfighting because its not something batman should be primarily focused on.

He fist fights all the time. One of the few times he didn't was in the animated series, and i bet it was just because censorship issues, he started punching people in the New Batman Adventures and even before in the more violent Mask of the Panthasm.

>>384721860
Did you play the game? It's mostly about how flawed Batman is. They basically say it outright, over and over again. He fucks up several times. The whole thing practically revolves around this concept. You missed that?!

Also, bat mobile missions aside, for at least the last half of the game, you're mostly hiding and outsmarting enemies once they start getting stronger. Much like the comics...

>>384721860
I actually did have a problem with this tbqh desu.
Seeing Batman take on a dozen thugs in City seems fair, like "this is a bit much, but he's the Batman, so 1 v 12 seems reasonable" but seeing him take on literally 30 guys at a time if he's going through the streets just seemed goofy. And him taking down 6 armed men by pouncing out of somewhere just seemed goofy. Fear takedowns should have been reserved to three thugs unless you use a smoke pellet or something.

>>384722452
it happened so rarely I kind of forgot it was a thing tbqh.

>>384722452
It was cool but if you level it so that you're taking down 6 guys at once it gets a bit OP, and it's also a bit silly to see bullets literally going through Batman's body as he charges henchmen but he's invincible due to fear takedown mode.

>He fist fights all the time. One of the few times he didn't was in the animated series,

He does but not to the extent that the arkham games would make you believe. Even when batman "fistfights" it rarely goes without involving outsmarting people with the environment and his gadgets instead of pulling off 100 hit combos on a room of 50 thugs all armed with baseball bats and shields and knives

>>384722398
>Did you play the game? It's mostly about how flawed Batman is.

straight up bullshit. They try to show you some of the flaws in his character but go about it in a way which is limp since the situation usually calls for his choices. I also dont give a fuck about the garbage tier stories in the rockstar games, im talking about the gameplay and how the character works in there

> you're mostly hiding and outsmarting enemies once they start getting stronger

"mostly" is a lie, its done in the exact same way as the other games AKA there are dedicated predator segments and dedicated brawling segments. Most of the predator segments are delegated to being side content. All of them are completely trivialized by your godlike abilities and gadgets. You can see through the walls with zero downsides and zap back up 200 meters onto a gargoyle at the first sign of trouble. If theyre going to have mechanics like these atleast limit your visions like in chaos theory by having separate heat, night and electrical visions that all have huge visual downsides. Also give the grapple gun limited cartridges

>Gotham is not allowed to be founded on heavily gothic architecture anymore?

Makes no sense in the indoors environments where most predator segments take place. Gargoyles are something that would be maybe in one level of some good game, in an outdoors level

>brony tier manchild brain
>as he defends his MUH REALISM argument

so realism is childish while wanting batman to be superman is for adults? Youre clearly far too retarded to talk to. Batmans draw is his humanity

>>384722812

As the biggest fan of the arkham games around here, i agree with his main argument in the gargoyles thing. I think there shouldn't be gargoyles in every predator room, or they should put any other form of more appropiate vantage points (pipes, lamps, beams). Be more creative with the predator rooms. They almost fixed this issue in Kinght, but they still put some gargoyles in there. The problem is that is a big dumb coincidence that there are gargoyles in almost every predator room.

>>384723148
>gets upset about not using his gadgets in combat
>>384721279
>the gadgets are a neat gameplay element but they are glorified combo tools 99% of the time

I didn't have any problems playing it on PC so I guess I'm really lucky (I played at least a year after release though).

The game was okay. There were some cool missions but just like the other games before it got boring fast, and the batmobile segments were not really fun. The story had ups-and-downs, and varied from okay to pretty retarded.

>>384706656
I'm sorry?

>thread about a video game that was bad and how OP enjoyed it

Besides, what else is there to discuss? everyone agrees the game is fun aside from the batmobile.

>>384723631
How fucking retarded are you? My posts are literally talking about nothing but gameplay. Making the gameplay faithful to the character (and actually good at the same time) is nothing but an improvement. The arkham games are fucking braindead and the majority of people (me included) only "like" them because theyre the only batman games outside of the nes one that arent repulsive garbage

>>384720151

>>384723786
Yeah but you have also admitted that Batman has been portrayed as a batgod in recent stuff. How is the portrayal of Batman as a batgod unfaithful to his character in the Arkham games? Seems like you just would prefer if he was portrayed differently, not that it was unfaithful.

>>384723786

The mechanics of the Arkham games could allow that kind of strategic gameplay, with just some minor changes. I love the Arkham games for the great foundations they make, i think they can be vastly improved, and still keeping the essentials of the combat style and the stealth, which are good. Also is definitely the best Batman games available right now, i get specially triggered when some /v/irgins say that the old school 2D sidescrollers were better, i mean, they were good for their time, but in what fucking way they are better?

It's kind of fine in the combat sections where you can start the fight with a fear multi takedown knocking out 6 henchmen yet still have like 15 enemies to normally fight.
It becomes absolutely fucking retarded in the predator sections, especially if you "refuel" your fear takedown by taking down ONE single guard silently and can clear a whole room with just 3 takedowns.

>>384706656

>>384724364
>I love the Arkham games for the great foundations they make, i think they can be vastly improved, and still keeping the essentials of the combat style and the stealth, which are good

I dont deny the games have potential but they are far from reaching their peak as long as theyre aiming low enough to satisfy every kid that wants to "feel like batman" for no effort. I want the games to be more sluggish unless the player has mastered the levels and mechanics. I want batman to die faster and be far less nimble. Nerf the grapple gun and improve how sound and detection works instead of there being a "stealth" button which almost moves you at sprinting speed for no downsides. Give dynamic lighting and shadows a role in the stealth instead of being simple detected and hidden states

>>384724439
>Batman has mastered every martial art ever made and only needs to sleep 3 hours per day

Stop reading wikipedia when things like these only apply to a select few portrayals in particular. Also, a human can easily survive by sleeping in short few hour bursts as long as it happens more than once in 24 hours

>Batman is fluent in every language on earth

In what fucking version of the character?

>>Batman is an expert in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, criminology, psychology, finance, business, political science, history, and literature, having a knowledge base comparable to degree holders in all of these fields

yeah okay not even going to reply to the rest, youre retarded. Youre taking garbage from wikipedia and there isnt a single version of the character where even half of these apply to them. The current portrayal of batman, even as "batgod" is far less powerful than your shitty post would make someone believe, mainly relying on lucius/waynetech for gadgets and alfred/the batfamily for support. Batman has never been "batgod" in any story worth anything

Not that anon, but non of what you just said addresses the fact that Batman is basically superhuman in his ability to take on dozens upon dozens of men at the same time without any kind of issue. I got over the fact that he can backflip a dozen feet from one enemy to the other, but I do think having more durable enemies, or enemies that actually get back up after a knock down as opposed to more enemies would've been the better route.

The whole premise of Arkham Knight was a let down, like OMG IT'S JASON TODD WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ? Them him suddenly becoming the good guy (in his own way) didn't make any sense
And the whole Joker sequences, while was entertaining on their own felt they were forced (Joker blood taking over Bruce and making him Joker, seriously?)

Barbara is 10/10 otherwise

>>384725323

Batman didn't blow himself up. He faked the death of Bruce Wayne and Alfred, retreated into the Batcave full time and became a new version of Batman using Scarecrow's new fear gas. The developers confirmed this in an AMA. In that post-credits scene at the alley, it's still "Bruce Wayne" under that Batsuit. He just killed the billionaire CEO playboy persona, that's all.

I might have been more disappointed by Knight than MGSV

How about a Sandman Mystery Theatre game where you focus on close combat and detectivework, with different types of gas?

That's actually kind of lame. How long could he possibly keep this up before someone notices nu-Batman running around and realizes that his "death" was faked? He can't keep that secret from Robin and Oracle forever. I liked it better in Miller's TDKR, when Batman fakes his death there he dedicates himself to training the younger generation, hand hands his legacy off to his students.

I have no idea about the specifics. They talked about the gas having "long term mental effects" in the game so maybe that. Or he's just spraying them with fear gas somehow. Dunno.

But anyway, it's still Bruce patrolling the streets as Batman. "Gotham needs a new myth" and all that. And now he can focus on being Batman 24/7 and doesn't have to fuck Russian ballerinas anymore to maintain his double life so I guess he's happy.

>>384726102

>>384726187

The graphics in the Arkham remaster go from better to worse. For example, the new rain effects are neat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsg37ONgS9U, but they made Batman face look weird.

>>384725561
I can't tell if you're intentionally being dense or not, so let me rephrase the problem: The fact that Batman casually takes on so many thugs detracts from his humanity, and makes his enemies look weak as opposed to making himself look strong.

Mechanically speaking, there's no way to force a player's character to casually take abuse while making the game stay fair, but having an enemy get up after what's supposed to be a knockdown, or tank more of Batman's blows before getting K.O'd, or just more ganging up in general that leads to strings of counter after counter before he can break them away, would give a better illusion that he's up against threatening foes as opposed to just stuffing an area with as many faces as possible to punch.

I call it the Musou Effect, in which in an attempt to illustrate a character's strength, the enemy only looks fragile, and if you want a power fantasy Batman who can take on 40 or 50 guys at a time, or jump out of the shadows and disarm 6 men before they can even land a bullet, that's fine, but you should at least recognize the faults that brings.

in any case, this should come in handy for you:

and before choosing a GPU, check out benchmarks (just google them) for games you're interested in (like AK for example)

Honestly, knowing how strong Batman is I'm impressed that the thugs manage to get up as many times as they already do. If you want to nerf Batman in these types of games you do 2 things:
>nerf his movement ability. No jumping ludicrous distances so that the game auto-completes a combo. You want to bring a guy to you who's out of immediate distance? Either hit him with the grapple gun or freeze bomb
>Nerf his multi-hit counter ability. Two or three guys attack you at once? You're in trouble. Get out of the way.
>Tighten the counter window on knives and other melee weapons. Make it feel hard to deflect them.
>Make Batman's "jump over the guy's shoulder" ability a special combo move instead of a normal move. Make it rare and costly.

Hell no, it has good stuff, but it's not in any way the best. Tell me why you think that.

Why is Arkham Joker's voice actor so perfect?

Why do people cry about the Batmobile sections so much? Each combat sequence is like 3 minutes, tops. Yeah, there's a lot of them, but they're fairly spaced out, plus the tank combat feels really good. IMO the only legitimate gripe about the Batmobile fights is that they decided to make the god damn Deathstroke fight a tank combat sequence. Whoever made that decision should be fired.

>>384727017
Because it's Mark Hamill, and he voiced the Joker in Batman TAS. Also if you didn't realize that, you probably also don't know that Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy in these games, the same man who voiced him in TAS.

Bat-tank.

>>384727036
The bat tank sections are very repetitive, which is really saying something given that this is Bamham combat we're talking about here. It feels very unfitting that Bruce "NO GUNS REEEEEE" Wayne would have 50mm cannons and missile launchers on his car, as opposed to more riot suppression-geared tools. Later on in the game it becomes really contrived how often they stick them in, how much they pad out the last 3rd of the game, and their substitution for proper boss battles is inexcusable.

>>384727068

It could use that for my phone. It would be more subtle than a MGS alert ringtone.

I feel like the game became slightly rushed towards to end so they decided to be lazy and just repeat an earlier mission.

thats actually irresponsible bruce wayne as a person is a one of a kind genetic freak/genius/prodigy

he's going to get a bunch of kids killed right off the bat even with training. Unless he trains them to handle purse thiefs and shit but if a big villain comes along those kids are fucked

>>384725385
I checked it out and you're right. It just raises a whole lot more questions for me. Like where the fuck was Black Mask during the entire siege on Gotham?

>>384727418
Mark absolutely loves being the Joker. I love watching him do the voice live, he gets so animated, you can really feel the energy he puts into that voice.

IMO, Hamill's Joker is the definitive one. I don't think I'll ever not hear his voice whenever I read a comic that the Joker is in.

>>384727449
he does train them

also they're all former gang members

>>384727449
Well I'm not saying that the Arkham series should have literally copied TDKR's ending. I'm saying that it would have been more fitting if Bruce had ended his death-faking business with him handing the cowl off to Robin or Azrael, and become the Oracle/mentor to the whole Batfamily in secret. This is especially after the whole point of AK is Bruce learning how to fully appreciate his family ties, and then he throws them all away 2 minutes after reaffirming them? It's jarring.

>>384727212

The bat-tank was fine in a pure gameplay perspective, but was inappropiate for a Batman game, but then again, what other chances was there to have a challenge for the batmobile? thugs with RPG's are a very easy enemy to fight, and normal firearms shouldn't do shit to the batmobile, the only option was tanks.

Origins, on the other hand, it's just City with almost no good improvements, other than some good bossfights (which most of them take concepts and even animations from City). It's still so fucking buggy to me, and i'm playing with my original Steam copy.

>>384727672
>what other chances was there to have a challenge for the batmobile?
Option A is to have it just be a means of transit, with no big shoot out sections at all, aside from stopping thugs from chasing cop cars in their own cars.

Option B is turning enemy tank encounters into predator sections, where Batman has to sneak around in the Batmobile (or even in glider mode) and remotely disable the enemy vehicles nonlethally. This is especially true if you want to reverse the decision to make the tanks unmanned, which was really dumb.

>>384726493
I'd be down for that. People shit on WB Montreal and Origins, but I actually enjoyed that game more than Knight. It was a buggy mess on PC and it crashed every half hour or so, but I fought through it to the end because I was having a great time with it.

Oddly enough, I had very few problems running Arkham Knight. The only consistent issue I had was the game dropping into the low 40s when getting into the Batmobile, but that only lasted for 5 - 7 seconds each time.

It wouldn't have been personal enough, and Bruce Wayne has enough money to not only disprove a story like that, but make it disappear.

I will never understand this. Her original costume is still the best, just use that. If it's ok for Batman to run around like he does it should be ok for Harley.

>>384730119
Yeah. I've considered buying it quite a few times, but I already have the game and all the DLC on PC and am lucky enough to somehow not have the myriad problems that version is plagued with. Plus I just don't think the Arkham games play well at 30fps, they feel very unresponsive.

He's going to die anyway, even Lazurus can't help him now and Nyssa is Ra's 2.0 so wiping her from the board before she gets started is good.

Anon, Batman is not a mentally sane individual. He's only one step distanced from the guys he's putting away. He CANNOT, CANNOT allow someone to die in front of him, either by direct action, or by inaction. It's a compulsion, something that he has no control over. He MUST act to save the lives of those he's interacting with. Always.

You should read the comics. Shit's hilarious with how bad it can be but it does have some damn good moments with Alfred and Plastic Man.

I keep trying, but I just don't like Tara Strong as Harley. Her voice sounds too forced, I just wish they could have stuck with Arleen Sorkin, even if her performance in AA was phoned in real bad.

Wow that sounds extra retarded, I see why Supes fans are butthurt at it

I thought Riddler's dialogue was hilarious in AK especially when you get closer to getting every trophy/challenge.

Wish I could exactly remember some of the lines but I remember they made me crack up.

NT finally got a real artist to do the female faces, apparently.

FGC fags and weebs still say the I2 models are bad. I bet they just say it to keep the tradition, because Boon team really improved on that, i mean, look at Aquachad no homo.

They were ugly but then NT got their shit together and finally learned how to make women with Injustice 2. Next MK should be pretty good now.

What about the Big Bang Theory lady who's voicing her in the upcoming animated flick?

This section right here is LITERALLY the only good part of Arkham Knight.

The batmobile really blew it, but beyond that, everything turning into sneak attacks was such bullshit.

The Robin team up was the only part that really felt like it was Batman, especially when Joker is singing.

I wish they would have done something better with him in AK. Have him trap Batman in a house full of Jigsaw-esque traps or something. There's so many things that would have been more fitting of the Riddler than race tracks.
