And anyone who doesn't think so is deluding themselves. Games like witcher 3 and bloodborne have already crushed buildings. AK is such a step back. Let's go over the flaws

Weak game play designs
No boss fights
Repetitive tank battles
The bat mobile being way too involved in the game. Everything from the main story, riddler missions,etc uses the bat mobile and it gets boring quick.
No real changes to the combat system
Trash villains. AK was corny and predicable. Scarecrow whole existence was a way to sneak joker in.
Not being able to have separate missions or free roam with the other protagonist(which they advertised)
Story went from 100-0 real quick.
Laughable Overpriced DLC

As it stands, AK is the worst out of the four titles(yes I included origins)
#facts

Arkham City is where the series peaked.

expect the 4th game in the series, that hasn't changed too much of anything over the series, to suddenly be great brehs



gotta hit you with it man... i mean what gave you ANY impression that this would be different than the last 3... shyt is like assassins creed now... 1-2 things change/look different... essentially everything else is the same.. rinse, wash, repeat

The exclusion of bosses was big "da fuq?" moment for everyone playing, especially since fighting Freeze was one of the most intricate and fun boss fights of the series. They could've tried to expand on that instead of removing it completely. The tag-team segments are short and are really just a big tease to what I'm sure will be a nightwing or Azreal game in the future (if ever). The Batmobile is shoved down the throats of any playing due to the fact that there's not much to do without it. It became a gimmick and not a tool, running away from Todd? :mjlol: c'mon son, that's just lame on several levels.

I'm playing through this now. It's good But not great. All the side missions feel like chores to me. I've decided to pretty much stick to the main story only to get the game over with

Yeah I guess I would call this game a disappointment, just for me personally. It's my least favorite in the Arkham series without a doubt. It was the game I was most excited for this year and I've had no desire to do a 2nd playthrough, unlike the other games where I couldn't wait to play them again. :ld: :yeshrug:
