Has to be one of best showings of a game recently, to me. Maybe people wanted something like Arkham Knight. Which IMO is masterpiece quality. But this one looked great as well. The thing is, the superhero genre is pretty standard. You can't have 'gimmicks' like this. I played Gotham Knights and I couldn't care less if I killed a random street thug who dropped some weird element, just so that I could upgrade a part of my cowl, but I had to get it to improve the stats. And just deal with wave after wave of enemies, for no rhyme or reason Meanwhile, Batman had just died! Narratively, it just doesn't make sense. This seems to have the usual tropes. Get parts to upgrade weapons, get parts to upgrade Armor, etc., etc. You get the point. Superheroes are supposed to be just that. Superheroes! It's that simple, and somehow Rocksteady, after making some awesome superhero games, decided on this (pretty sure it was WB Games execs who probably arm-twisted them into making this). Oh well... That's my rant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my rant! Gotham knights is set in a wholly separate universe from earlier Arkham games. Arkham Knight does not show him dying/dead and we see a post credit scene suggesting Bruce is alive if you 100% the game. Rest I agree, most of it seemed meh.

If it's boring/ grindy, will not get it. But core gameplay has me impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhero games are supposed to be acrobatic hand to hand This type of games should have this. Make single player games if you want hand to hand combat. Very hard to do melee combat right if you want people playing long term. Few games like Monster Hunter, From Soft games have cracked it.

At least Gotham Knights had good hand to hand combat gameplay. Just like the new DC movies the new DC games are also becoming boring Edited February 24, 2023 by Krazyniks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark should be using hooks. But they're all using generic guns which makes it look like it's all fortnite skins Lol Edited February 24, 2023 by dylanjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 The movement & combat looks 10x more smoother than Gotham turds. A lot will simply depend on how fun it is to actually play it & Rocksteady will do well if they start public testing months before the release and take player feedback & implement it. bungie did something similar with destiny and the gameplay loop was perfect by release. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Here meet Deadshot, he is an expert marksman and has mastery over various guns. And meet Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and Killer shark. They are also ummmm expert marksman and shooters Imagine making Shotgun the main weapon of Captain Boomerang. And Killer Shark is a shooter Doesn't get more stupid and pathetic than this. It's basically like those old NES games where Spider-Man, Batman etc were generic platformers with the webs, batrangs were substitute for guns and the IP was used only to sell the game to clueless gamers who bought game just by name alone. This is even worse because it has mtx and the random loot drops actually affect the gameplay/character level. This is a game forced by executives and not by creativity. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be stupidly filled collectables and forced quests of his. Why do devs think this guy deserves to be in every rocksteady game. Just kill him already instead of batman. 4 hours ago, Big Boss said: Imagine making Shotgun the main weapon of Captain Boomerang.

There's no logic but I guess WB wanted to make a 3rd person shooter game so here it is. 4 hours ago, Big Boss said: This is a game forced by executives and not by creativity. Creative team left the company, It's baffling that Hogwarts Legacy is such a creative game and was published by WB which is doing fantastic and the same company gave us Gotham knights and now this. I had good hopes for this one but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
