Games are a hell of a lot more expensive to make nowadays. 20 years ago it costed around 1-5 million to make a triple A title, now it costs a minimum of 100 million. With more and more money involved creativity is taken away from studios and investors want proven formulas that bring players in and keep their attention. Now those formulas are outdated and don't work like they use to. Just look at how many times Ubisoft has used the FC/AC formula for over a decade and now players are burnt out.

Idk why some are saying that combat is boring. The Arkham games have THE most boring combat ever. It’s literally just punch, punch, counter, punch, punch, batarang, punch, counter, repeat. Most of the fights you don’t even have to move. You can literally stand in one spot and win…but yet the combat in that game is praised for being so fun and innovative…when it’s not. At least in this game you have to actively dodge, you get different weapon types, different characters that aren’t DLC, & abilities. This game isn’t perfect, but what he said about the combat was pretty biased imo. All he said was “it was boring.” Didn’t even give a reason for it.

[@joaopaulogalloclaudino9671]

U just plain dumb and don't have any creativity, u can stand still and win a fight, or you can use your brain and try all the gadgets and combos the arkham games has to offer

[@Spacecowboyy69]

they cancelled batman beyond with damian wayne and old bruce for this

[@513Trill]

Games haven’t been the same in years. Idk why people expect so much from every gaming company. When we haven’t got much from any of them in years. Gotta go into games like this with not super low but mediocre expectations. And to all the people saying they wasted money, it’s $70. No offense but that’s literally nothing. Barely fills my tank. Think we need a higher level of intellect and maturity in the gaming community. And any negative replies you might as well keep them, you will get no response from me. This is just my opinion

[@proAgamerYT]

[@ed1rko17]

@@adee_3199 It literally is a Batman game.

[@ed1rko17]

@Victor Nieves Yeah because they aren't protagonists. If you want to play as side characters, then have that as an option, but to actually prevent you from playing as the titular character, for no real reason is just a nonsensical creative choice.

[@ed1rko17]

@Victor Nieves Different medium. In a tv show/movie/comic, you have limited time to go through the story. Sometimes a creator would need to exclude Batman to put all the time into that other character who lacks exploration. In a video game, there is literally no reason why they couldn't just create a Batman character. There is no page limit, or run-time. Just different characters to play as, except Batman. That makes no sense.

People need to stop comparing this to Arkham. It’s not the same game nor is it meant to be. Not having control of your character? Not when you’ve been frozen. Poor counter mechanic? Only when you miss and fail (as shown in this video) Easy predictions? That’s life, almost every movie and game is predictable by miles. Just enjoy it for what it is without the comparison.
