Why "Arkham Knight" is good but is still a disappointment - VG

VG:

Let me make something clear right of the bat (no pun intended) – “Batman: Arkham Knight” is not a bad game by any stretch of imagination. In fact it’s a well-made, and most importantly, fun experience, with some good elements in it. But not something that I and some other gamers out there would call a great one due to one simple fact: “Arkham Knight” does not innovate substantially and where it implements something new, it doesn’t do it well enough to make it a revolutionary game that two previous installments from Rocksteady studios were.

i disagree. i was left satisfied.

* It never appealed to me much anyways.

* Played Arkham City and at first loved it but it got old real quick and I never finished it.

* Bought Origins on a Summer STEAM Sale, and then never played it.

* For some reason these look way too similar to Ark city and that isn't enough to make me want to re-buy into the series.

* IMO they need to make a brand new IP with this studio.

These dev's seem bored.

I'm enjoying arkham knight but does anyone else feel the writing isnt so great. I mean some of the conversations are down right cheesy. I don't remember it like that in asylum or city. Good game but they hired some no inspiration age of extinction writer's or something.

It is, I don't feel like a dark hero with a great detective sense and creepy sneaking abilities but more of a brute with 100 different weapons and a tank.

JoeReno3611d ago

I think that was exactly the point by this game. He is just pissed, and also why the game ends the way it does.

fermcr3611d ago

It was another over-hyped game. Good, but not great.

higgins783611d ago

Agree. I dont even know if I would call it enjoyable. Extremely competent and polished on PS4, yes, but not much enjoyment. Certainly not a patch on Arkham Asylum.

JoeReno3611d ago

wow, enjoyment expectations were not met for you, that's just sad (for you).

Summons753611d ago

I completely disagree the story was more than awesome and the gameplay was the best in the series. Sure tank battles were annoying but are just a spec on this game.

u4one3611d ago

agree. if anything it was a refreshing surprise from a long list of true disappointments during these last 2 yrs

higgins783611d ago

You should try owning a Wii U - and its selection of AAA games. Trust me, you would have NOT felt disappointed over these last 2 years.

u4one3611d ago (Edited 3611d ago )

i do have one - hence my name: wii "U" ps"4" xbox "one" :)

Julion07153611d ago

The game is great to me idk what all the hate is about no game will be 100% enjoyment always ganna be parts where u don't like this game is solid from gameplay controls and story telling please get off the high horses. Sorry I agree with you summons..

xwilldemise3611d ago

Truly amazing game, don't see how any critic can see it as a dissapointment. Only thing is well, it's a single player game so you beat it & thats it, amazing game but just traded in Batman for the Witcher 3(which is single player only but it's a RPG meaning more content).

We hand-picked the 20 best Steam Deck games under $10 in the Steam Autumn Sale, up to 95% off

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.

There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.

cthulhucultist189d ago

Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.

The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order

Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!
