WASDuk presents a top ten list of things that Rocksteady utterly nailed when making Arkham Knight.
Ahead of its proposed release on the console this fall, the ESRB has rated Batman: Arkham Knight for the Nintendo Switch in a new listing.
I don't remember the game being that violent or suggestive in content to warrant that sort of rating.
haha it def was. There's pools of blood, a tortured body in that detective scene, swearing.
You're not wrong though - thinking back to the gameplay it feels like a T rated game where you punch people and drive a batmobile but realistically it was at least a little bit gruesome at times
The serial killer pig man was a brutal story line. As was the opening scene when you turn on the kiln.
No, it's not the worst thing about the game, not even close.
I always dreaded whenever a Batmobile mission would show up and overstay it’s welcome
Same. It was cool at first but the batmobile really was the worst part of an otherwise excellent game.
I stopped pursuing a number of Arkham Knight’s side quests and challenges because of the game’s over reliance on the Batmobile. Driving the Batmobile was fun, but it didn’t need to involved in so many challenges and even boss battles.
They made Deathstroke into a shitty gimmick like tank battle
Never forget
We got a better fight in Origin than this
Origins overall has the best boss battles in the entire series
It’s a crime that it doesn’t get rereleased
The Batmobile was great. The Bat-tank was terrible. Slow, uninspiring, and goes against the stealth combat that made the series legendary. But it wasn’t the worst thing about the game. That honor goes to the cookie cutter, Ubisoft style bases that you have to capture in each section of the map.
Such a great list!
and yes while the port is a joke, I'm still enjoying the game.
I loved these games, I'll definitely miss the Arkham series. Rocksteady did a fantastic job with Batman, I wonder what they'll do next?
I seem to be in the minority as the game was just alright to me. Spoilers ahead: There was a huge over reliance on throwing dozens of tanks at me in place of having really cool boss fights like in previous games (Mr. Freeze, Clayface, etc). Hell, there's not even a bossfight against Scarecrow. Arkham Knight was a huge let down; he was just a whiny guy with an army that he somehow paid for. The sidequests were my favorite part, but there weren't enough of them. The Joker blood and Scarecrow toxin are apparently not that bad if you can just will yourself out of their symptoms as Batman seems to do at the end, even if you got injected with several syringes at once and you are at the breaking point with the Joker Blood. The best twist in the game with Oracle getting killed was taken back at the last minute. The unanimous praise this game is getting is flabbergasting to say the least.
That first-person sequence is sure the most gripping thing I've seen all year.
