5 Things Batman Arkham Knight Did Right

[@nathannilsen7929]

Only complaints about this game is too much tank stuff and no physical boss fights on main story

[@sillymovie1330]

Nathan Nilsen all my complaints, and the Deathstroke fight was very disappointing

[@generalgrievous3423]

My complaints too man, I get that it's cool we have the Batmobile now but there's way too much of an overreliance on it. We could have had a perfect opportunity for a Harley Quinn boss battle where say it goes from being a stealth encounter like we had in her DLC for Arkham City but then just as shes about to be taken down it turns into a combat encounter, and you actually have to fight her.

[@RadinV1]

And the nonsensical story: 1. If the Arkham knight knows Bruce so well, why did he send unmanned tanks. If he put his men in the tanks, Bruce wouldn't be able to kill them and he would lose. 2. WTF is that thing with Jokers blood? Like it makes no sense. Jokers blood is fine. Aside from his looks, he is a normal human. 3. The Jason Todd torture flashback implies that Bruce thought that Jason was dead so he took in Tim. But he is imagining a scenario where he thought Jason was dead, but knew he wasn't AND HE STILL DOESN'T FIGURE OUT WHO THE KNIGHT IS! 4. Bruce Wayne is an escape artist and he can take down up to 5 people in a matter of seconds as shown in the game. He did nothing to escape scarecrow and let a B lister reveal his identity. 5. Jason who wanted to kill batman up to now, suddenly wants to help him because he said sorry. 6. Even if Bruce beat the mental aspect of the disease, doesn't he still have to deal with the physical aspect? Oh they also wasted hush and azrael.

[@BariiVolaju]

I didn’t have a problem with Jason being the knight but it could’ve been done way better. Like by the torture scenes alone it was extremely obvious of who it was. It should’ve been more of an actual investigation with you going through new and returning villains to find his identity

[@sofiyanali2489]

Jay and T actually talk about Arkham Knight in the "What Batman Arkham Knight Could Have Been" video. I agree with them saying that the Knight should've been a nobody.

[@alexhollon7526]

Or they could've gone with the under the red hood route and make the mystery insignificant, and spend more time developing this incarnation of Jason.

I love this game. It has some of my favorite versions of these classic characters like Man-Bat and Scarecrow, as well as immersive gameplay! The only parts I’ll tag on it for is how they handled Deathstroke, and of course how they insert the Batmobile into everything.

[@lellhi]

I think what this game did the best is making Batman feel like an actual human. It's something that we didn't see as much in the previous games and it's a vibrant theme in this one. The fact that you can interact with any character in the game, from the villains to the police officers just makes it more enjoyable. I also feel like the game took much more time developing the philosophical story rather than the playable one which is probably why it has mixed reviews. It is my favourite game in the series and I hope WBM will make an amazing entry with their project.

[@edviza1935]

I also like that A Matter Of family includes Jason Todd’s robin (kinda) because even tho they call him Tim and he has Tim’s voice actor, at that point in canon robin was technically Jason. Wish they had realized that before developing it tho just to get that extra coolness of having the Jason voice actor.

[@DatMentalGamer]

i think the batmobile should've been totally optional. you should've been able to do missions with or without it.

[@PulseBladeenjoyer]

@@EthanBradburyVlogsI know this comment is a year old, but finally, someone who gets it. Everyone loves to bitch about how much the game forces you to use the Batmobile. However people are quick to forget that the community WANTED AND BEGGED for us to have the option to use it throughout Arkham City and Arkham Orgins. Honestly I’m happy with how it turned out. I adore how integral to Batman’s kit the Batmobile is. It controls well, has a cool tank function, the world is designed so you can drive it around Gotham, and has a ton of puzzles that you have to use the car for. The Batmobile is a extension of Batman, as it should be. (Sorry for the rant, I just really despise all the complaining about, BATMOBILE IN GAME TOO MUCH LOL)

And I also hate it when people say origins isn’t canon there is sooo much proof that proves it is I’ve heard people say only the side missions and the bounty is cannon so you’re telling me that it’s not cannon but literally the main plot points did? Then that means it all happened

[@DegenerateJay]

I legitimately just ignore people when they say Origins isn't canon now. Sefton Hill said it was, even. On top of that there's half a dozen direct references to its events in Knight. If people don't want to believe that at this point they're living in a fantasy land.

[@onyx7ven10en5]

[@AAllen-br8it]

Arkham Knight was 3 steps forward and 1 step back for the series. It just feels like the attitude toward the storytelling of the world was just way less interested and all around much weaker and less nuanced than AA and AC in my opinion. However, this was an absolute masterclass in game design. And those graphics... this is still one of the most beautiful games ever created so far.

[@mikeflinn8462]

I’ve recently replayed the whole trilogy, and have realized that Knight’s actually my favorite. When I was younger, City was my favorite and the most played, but I actually feel the story was very weak compared to Knight. I’ve played Knight before yet still felt urgency playing the main story. City’s story felt random, whereas Knight’s story felt much more realistic for a Batman story. Also, the gameplay of Knight was 100% better than any other Arkham game. Moreover, the side missions in City took me a max of 2-3 hours without even rushing, Knight feels much more worthwhile.

[@22RiaKon22]

I played Arkham series for the first time just recently, after finishing Spider-Man. Arkham Knight was the first game that finally clicked with me. The combat was the most polished one, but what felt superb to me was the story and pacing (and graphics, though I do not tend to make this an important point). The game made me remember why I loved DC and especially Batman. I genuinely forgot since the last Nolan movie 'cause of that crap DC is putting out lately. And some honorable mention... can we all agree that those team takedowns are the coolest thing ever?

[@DavinAli]

For me Akrham Knight is the best out of 3 (or 4, but since I never finished Origins)..just because aesthetically the best, not only that we get to drive Batmobile, despite how 'too frequent' we use Batmobile for boss fights (the good and the bad). It just felt like playing the Batman. More or less like how it felt when we play as spidey. The gadgets are enough to make us feel like doing spidey stuff and so in Arkham Knight, though new, the addition of Batmobile to the game just made the game felt like we players are the Batman himself. 😁

The Things I think it could have done better was .... 1. The entire game should have been darker and scarier like the diner scene. 2. Real Boss fights like in Origins . 3. There should have been an option to allow you to play the game as any Bat - family member. 4. More new villains to deal with like the easter eggs that were in all the arkham games like Prometheus . 5. Joker only mentioned in flash backs and not be inside Batman's mind fighting to take over . 6. Let the Arkham Knight be something other than Jason Todd . 7. Have Red Hood in the game hunting down and kill the other villains . 8. Have the story be something else other than 5 other people turning into Joker and Batman's one of them. 9. Better and Longer dlc stories . 10. Have Bat Bunkers all over the city like in the comics . 11. Gotham be one big Island and not seperated into 3 different Islands . and More Buildings that can be entered .

Some of my favorite things about this game is 1. The dlc, although it's not necessarily the best instill enjoyed it, especially red hood. 2. The gameplay once you have all upgrades. Starting off it feels like a worse version of the original gameplay 3. Arkham knight. I can look past the red hood predictable thing. But some of his scenes are the best thing of the game like the introduction helicopter battle, the subway scene when he jumps on bruce and shoots the side, and the reveal and arkham hood stealth battle was amazing. That scene and battle is the best thing about this game imo. 4. Gcpd was amazing and felt like how a gcpd should 5. The playable characters. In this game I wanted to play as each and everyone of the characters more than in games like city

[@thenewsatinbobcat5575]

I would have gotten the dlc if the dlcs were longer and some of the side missions were too easy. Fire fly you had to chase, man bat you had to find, and hush was just cut scene then counter. The missions could do better but they were still enjoyable.

[@sub-zero_]

really wished they added a few or more race tracks for the OG batmobil…. like a prequal where you race from the city to arkham asylum to deliver Joker in time or something…

[@KmBandz]

Yo I swear, like a week ago u just hit 1000 subs, your doing a great job, love your vids keep up the great work, 10k coming up

[@DegenerateJay]

Thanks Kyle! Here's hoping!

[@cerealfirend2028]

I finally got this game on Friday and this was worth 5 years of hype (2014-19). Since I was 7 I completed all of the games %100 and this one felt like a walk in the park. My only problem is hate the extra Riddler stuff that were annoying like the bomb peopls. This game should get more attention by everyone

[@spicycurry7238]

BRO the first 3 arkham games were literally my elementary school, and arkham knight right at the end of middle school

[@ryanmckenna9330]

I love Arkham Knight. I personally love the Batmobile Combat. I like to challenge myself to not get hit once. This is probably my favorite Arkham game “I have played the main three”

[@gingerninja3332]

If this game didn’t needlessly shove the batmobile into every mission and had less riddler trophies this game would’ve been so much better

[@Atlas796]

Anybody remember the simpler times of Arkham Asylum it is my favorite Batman game to this day

[@mattt5105]

I commented 8-9 months ago, and this channel was almost at 3k. And this channel now is almost at 50k

[@DegenerateJay]

It is very surreal. I'm rising almost as quickly as the Saiyans fell when Frieza attacked them.

[@mattt5105]

Degenerate Jay wait wha-

[@micahchopIin]

One of my favorite things about this game is the way they handled Poison Ivy's character. She is one of my favorite DC characters, and I love the way they gave her an arc and let her truly grow from a simple femme fatale in Asylum who loves plants to a deeply powerful anti-hero in Knight who sacrifices herself for the greater good.

[@Buscat6]

Honestly i like the tank stuff but there is just to much tank battles but my main complant is the tank stuff in the riddler challenges and the deathstroke battle

[@benwasserman8223]

The funniest thing about Arkham Knight criticism is that I'd never thought I'd hear comic fans complain "too much batmobile." It feels weird to hear

[@evangreen9064]

Honestly the only thing I want to mention was this unique and new loop of how Jason Todd became who he is. It strayed away from the old fashion pit giving him life with a sadistic personality to him actually becoming this person himself. It's unique, new, and original in my opinion. I just wish there was more to his character. I haven't played the DLC but in the main story, he was kinda just there. Not much build up but once you actually found out who he was. But even then, it was a brief, short moment of glory that should have been dragged a bit more and put him in the story more instead of a taunting voice on your coms and three bat mobile related boss fights. I was hoping for more of battle with Jason like the fight with Deathstroke in origins. So, in short, Arkham Knight idea was great but poor execution and wasted potential.

[@spicycurry7238]

i would totally agree, but the problem was that the game made his reveal TOO obvious and the developers kind of screwed themselves over by marketing the game around him so if the story around him was not fantastic it felt like a letdown

[@diegomora2727]

I feel like your channel should have at least 100k

[@DegenerateJay]

That's super nice of you to say Yeezus! Someday! 😁

[@seanbhoycfc4834]

They did go overkill with the Batmobile but it's just those tedious Cobra Tank battles that Downgrade it in the game for me. Having to use stealth in the Freaking Batmobile was dumb and irritating but it has its upsides. I still love Arkham Knight and it's so refreshing to see a video like this 👍 From better and true boss battles to a more populated Gotham there are things I'd have wanted to see done better in Knight but the Combat system is better than ever, the Bat Family get their moments to shine. The game looks fantastic. I like Scarecrow and thus Joker ultimately making Batman's biggest battle Psychological. All that and more including everything you said are why I still enjoy playing Arkham Knight and hold out hope for a Sequel. Honestly loving your channel, Guys. I wish it nothing but success. Thanks for the great content 🦇

[@thedorkknight5772]

Am I the only one that likes the Red Hood costume from the end of the main story more than the one from the DLC?

[@wesleystewart1193]

You should do a top 5 things right/wrong about Arkham city for number one on both you could do jokers death the good it’s a bold move made by rocksteady and one hell of an ending however the bad is why didn’t the joker take the cure from clay face before he fought Batman in the steel mill other than the fact rocksteady wanted him to die as well as the fact rocksteady didn’t stick to their guns by having him be an integral part of the next 2 games

[@doom4067]

I liked the game, but I think that most people wanted to drive the batmobile a little bit; not for a six hour tank battle.

[@austinmassengale5995]

Huge Batman fan and discovered you the other day. You’ve earned a follower for your excellent content and thorough explanations. Continue making great videos 👍🏼

[@sebastianmorin9780]

My 4 issues w/ Knight: Too Much Batmobile, No Free Roam Bat Family, The Way they handled Deathstroke (he should have been playable) and the lack of Combat Takedowns for Red Hood (should have had a multi-ground and a disarm-destroy)

[@da3879]

I think it would have been interesting if they incorporated the batwing as a useable thing. Since you have the batmobile might as well make batwing playable as well. However, I just played the whole trilogy as a whole. I haven't actually played Batman Arkham Origins(so just Knight, City, and Asylum along with all DLC/season pass) and the collection is pretty good. And yea when I was done 120%(I still have to do 240% for that one outfit) Batman Arkham Knight was the one I had played the most of. All 3 are pretty good games to play really. It was my first time playing any of the games just a week or so ago. Some don't like the Riddler stuff(some have commented saying it was tedious), but I think the Riddler stuff was a bit more fun into the game for sure. Not just an action game, but also a use your head kind of game too. Also, I thought it was kind of funny in the main game that you do get to play as the Joker for a little bit, I thought that was interesting. Only downside is in the designs you get to pick for your car, there is one that looks like a vehicle the Joker would use, but you don't get to drive it. Which I think is crazy.

[@timgonzales2891]

Objectively i see why City is the favorite. Ive put so much more time into knight though (and i have put a lot of time into city) They werent going to top the Deathstroke battle in origins.

[@JaydonTobler]

If I had to guess why the Bat-mobile was overused in Knight, it was probably an extremely expensive mechanic for them to develop and it took up a lot of the game’s budget. I’m thinking they decided “hey people really want to drive the bat-mobile, if they want to do a ton of combat then they can play Asylum or City again. So let’s shake this game up a little bit.”

[@PriestlyBlock67]

Character designs, atmosphere, map, gameplay, batmobile(except it was overused), some of the dlc, the dual play mechanic, the gadget and control. Changes, some bits of the story, etc

[@uditvedantmishra9719]

I agree about the Batmobile , there was just too much emphasis on it but ever since I first played asylum I always wanted to drive the Batmobile and it sure felt good to drive in the normal mode of course

[@ADL21]

Arkham Knight is interesting because I was looking forward to it but felt "oh this just a Jason Todd reveal" then I saw the whole "We came up with a new character to be Arkham Knight! Geoff Johns even worked on it!" so the whole game I'm like 'omg who is this?!" especially seeing the Red Hood DLC being of Jason as the hood. Then when Jason took that AK helmet off I was mad that I just finished the game to see the ending and uninstalled. I JUST reinstalled everything (cuz I got the pass so I got everything) and the game still feels great to play. Batmobile feels great to drive and I actually like it's inclusion to the point where I'm so ready to use it in my arsenal that I run into Bruce going "I can't bring the car here". I'm looking forward to completing the full ending, all the side missions, challenges and it's so funny doing Predator missions with Jason doing the boss dialogue especially when you're down to one enemy and let him suffer "just finish him off already Batman" This time around I'm even more immersed in the story and I can really feel the Batman vibe in everything so I can't really be mad at the game anymore for being what it is, Batman at his strongest against the incredible odds he was put up against by damn near his entire rogue's gallery.

You know something I noticed, like I was counting and thinking, like there were some things that is so wrong with knight, but thinking like It has like 20 things that knight did best compared to the other arkham games

[@michaeldanchez9530]

I feel like the biggest issue in this overall amazing game is the boss fights. It’s like so many super villains taken out easily by Batman. Every one should’ve been a challenge

[@1980Shadowwolf]

Never got to play Arkham Knight was uneasy with it after heard it ran badly on pc particularly my set up gtx 970 and fx 8350 cpu.
