The Cons Outweigh The Pros And For The Last Game Of The Series YES It Was A Let Down

No Boss Fights
Repetitive Side Missions (Doing The Same Exact Thing 3 Or More Times)
Over Use Of Batmobile Tank Battles
Weak Story Line

The Batmobile Was Better Then I Expected Though, I Loved Being About To Call On It So Easily, It Drove Well And I Like How It Moves In Combat Mode, But As Far As The Overusage Of Tank Fights And 2 Weaks Ass Confrontations Against The Knight (Which Were The Closest Thing You'll Get To Resembling A Boss Battle) It Made Me Not Even Wanna Bother With It Outside Of Being Forced To Use It.

The Game Feels Like The Good Old Reliable Batman Games, And The City Is Very Well Done So I Think That Satisfied People Enough.

Nah, at first I agreed with what you said. There was too much repetitive tank shyt. But in the end, after doing everything (excluding the riddler shyt), I really enjoyed that game. It's like a 8/9 out of 10

:yeshrug:loved it, actually the first Arkham game i finished 100%

First Arkham Game You Finished Cuz There Was No Difficult Boss Fight You Had To Overcome To Move On.

They Also Hand You All His Main Weapons From The Start.

There Was Also Executed Takedowns Of Up To 4-5 Guys PLUS Assisted Takedowns W/ Robin, Nightwing And Catwoman

If You Played On Normal I'm Sure This Game Was A Breeze To Get Through So No Wonder It's The First Arkham Game You Finished

Nah, played it on hard and in my opinion, the later tank battles were tougher than the boss battles from AC and I never even considered finding all the Riddles in AC. I just enjoyed this game and didn't want it to end, so i found them this time...

The only boss fight I ever remember playing that was memorable was Freeze. Most of the boss fights just have a bunch of henchmen, and a tank main enemy (haven't played origins so im not sure on that one.).

So instead of a tank enemy you got a tank literally as a boss fight.

I played on hard and did all side missions in between the main missions. I thought there was plenty of sneaking, fighting, and detective work (whether implicit or explicit) to balance out the tank stuff.

My favorite side missions were they Two Face missions. shyt felt so batman, wish they did more of them, increasing in scale.

I paid almost $700 for that game. :snoop: luckily it came with a free gpu :troll:

shyt is pathetic that this game was supposed to show off the power of new gpu's
Man the shyt made me lose interest in the game. Maybe the interim August patch will make me jump in again.

I played it for a bit, but the series has gone downhill with each iteration for me.

Once the initial amazement at the fact that you really felt like batman wore off, then its painfully evident the gameplay is pretty shallow. Combat looks good, but ultimately its just like QTE. Exploration is pretty shallow with the bat vision stuff. Best part of these games was the stealth/stalking stuff. They tried to add more to it with the batmobile, but that's just as shallow as the rest of the stuff.

Looking back, I think this series was overhyped to begin with. :manny:

I can't believe they're waiting until August. Interest will be so lost with the game.

I just want my season pass dlc. Why are they delaying that for us that already bought it and have the game? shyt pisses me off

I enjoyed it and still am playing the hell out of it. Only thing I agree with is the weak boss battles.

No problem with the storyline. I feel like dude's just like the say every Arkham story sucked. They complained about City's and then complained the hell out of Origin's story (which was the best IMO). I have no complaints about Knight's story other than the predictable you know what.

The combat was upgraded enough so that people wouldn't complain about them changing too much about it. The fear take downs were a great addition.

The Batmobile was definitely forced in there, but if you just stuck with the it during the parts of the game where it was absolutely necessary and ditched it when you had the opportunity then it shouldn't have been that bad. You just can't please anyone :yeshrug:
