Why did this get so much hate? It wasn't perfect but definitely

I played it on PS4 but the PC launch of this game was a complete and utter disaster. I'd be bitter towards this game if I had to deal with that. Alot of the complaints always stem from the Batmobile inclusion. People felt it was got forced to often and to be fair that Deathstroke boss battle was TERRIBLE.
Personally I didnt mind the Batmobile and driving it around the city was pretty cool. I liked the way it handled and ejecting out of it at crazy speeds was fun as hell.

PC launch was shit
People bitched about the batmobile being crutched on
Arkham Knight reveal was painfully telegraphed
YET MORE FUCKING JOKER DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE WAS KILLED IN CITY
Underwhelming DLC content

I enjoyed it and found the predator bits much more fun than City or Asylum, but there were certainly a lot of issues.

Batmobile combat gets stale fast. "New" villain that wasn't actually new and the whole community had figured out from the jump yet Rocksteady tried to lie to us. PC port was a nightmare on release. Looking at the whole trilogy it didn't do anything particularly outstanding. Asylum had superior atmosphere. City had side quests. Both had better predator encounters, boss fights, stories, and DLC. Knight is an okay game but it's nowhere near as good as its predecessors. It's better than the buggy shitstain that is Origins at least.

No it wasn't the tank combat was terrible and arkham city's ending was the best in the series try harder bro

Too much Batmobile. In terms of how it played I think it was fine but they still overdid it when it came to batmobile segments

It's hard to determine which game gets more hate Arkham Origins or Arkham Knight, but I still think both complete version were still good games.

Multiplayer was a mistake and a waste.

I loved it. I loved the batmobile, too, but many people didn't. The only very big criticism I have is the lack of real boss battles, and I think everyone will agree on that. I mean, the deathstroke tank battle isn't that bad in itself, but having it as a final battle against a villain instead of really fighting him us frustrating...
Apart from that, I'm a huge comics fan, especially of batman, and a huge fan of the previous two Arkham games (origins doesn't exist to me) and I felt Knight was a perfect conclusion. The amount of side quests and the way the game makes you wanna do them felt great, and used a lot of the batman lore in a very well-written way. Also, Gotham city feels just amazing, and I think I've never seen a urban environment so well done in a game before. (GTAV's is more impressive in terms of scale, of course, but the level of detail in Knight is just impressive).

For every one minute you should have been using the batmobile the game made you use it for ten.

Over and over again.

It was bad design, and we lost boss fights over it.

pc complaints are no longer valid and a severly outdated meme (like gta 4) the game has been fixed up for way over a year now.

it was shit because batmobile was shoved down your throat at every turn, buyild up to side missions like pyg resulted in a qte, villains like deathstroke are relegated to a shitty tank fight, when you finally get to fight the knoght its literally the deadshot encounter from city rehashed multiple times in a row, and of course "the knight will be a new character and totally not jason todd guys!"

at least the blimps were were neat because they were full of spooky smoke effects.

The bad PC launch and people hating the Batmobile basically killed out right out of the gate. Personally I really enjoy all the Batmobile content, and the fact that they didn't half-ass it but went all in is why I love Rocksteady so much. Whether you love the mechanic or not, you have to admire Rocksteady for totally pushing the bar with each new installment.

The Arkham trilogy is, in my opinion, one of the most solid trilogies in the industry. Very rarely do you get a trilogy of games that are all of very high quality, and continue to totally push the envelope with each new installment. Like I said whether you love the Batmobile in Knight, or love the Metroidvania vibe of Arkham Asylum, you have to respect Rocksteady for refusing to rehash the same shit, even though they would have made just as much cash.

Just beat this on PS4 since the port is shit. It was alright but fucking annoying as well
>"you can't stop me now batman"
>stop him
>intercom constantly blaring across the city about how batman failed
>joker doesn't ever shut the fuck up and says something every 3 minutes
capeshit was a mistake

you'd think the season pass for this game would make people think twice because it was nothing but garbage, but warner bros just went and took it to a whole new level with the next mordor game and people will fall for it, again.

I liked the Mad Hatter dlc the most in season of infamy desu. His encounters are always really trippy. Matter of family is the last dlc mission I have left. I got the season pass on sale a few weeks ago for 9 bucks. Its crazy that this was 45 dollars at one point.

>definitely was better than Arkham City


Meh not really. The gameplay jump wasn't anything like that between Asylum and City to warrant that sort of praise and of course the actual story was fucking laughable, not to mention the shoehorned Batmobile segments killing parts of the game and build-up.

It's the weakest of the trilogy which still makes it a really good game considering the other two are masterworks in their own ways really. Disappointing as fuck ending to Rocksteady making the games tho. A fucking autist on /v/ came up with a better and more thought out game.

It's a shitty movie game. It's just so bland in nearly every way. Nothing about it is special

>>385368463
Matter of Family is good, gives off some serious Arkham Asylum vibes
