It's a very pretentious thing that many critics say, sadly. You're allowed to like this bad (insert thing). It feels like they're trying to make *their opinion* fact even though it's subjective.

[@extonjonas6820]

Exactly. I would say you don't have to finish something to have a negative opinion of it. If it failed to suck you in, that is fine. I just don't really get his argument because they are things that are impossible to for a game to demonstrate in only the first part of it. Like a game is never most challenging at the beginning. If you like the combat in the game, you should be willing to wait for it to get more challenging. The gadget integration point is about as dumb a point as possible. By his own logic, he should have quit arkham city because it made you use the rec gun too much. How are you gonna know if gadgets play a part in the game or level design if you don't play the game to see those things. His critisms, if he did not finish the game, should solely be about poor or clunky gameplay or an awful story or voice acting, etc.

Yeah, but I kinda agree with the arguments about the vr missions part and the way the upgrades are showned, that info could've been presented in a more effective and less intrusive way. Also I feel like Knerd justifying the vr missions argument with " but in Arkham City you can explore the open world" it's kinda dishonest, because he is ignoring the fact that in City you are guided to continue the main plot and in Knight you're shown a lot of glowy and flashy icons right next to you and they explicitly recomend you to do them. Other than that I think the critics were just dumb.

[@funnyjupiter4499]

​​@@Batbraker36i kind of aggre with that but that is still just very minor, i mean mayo acted like it ruined the game and that is a massiv exaggeration, the vr sections are mostly optional and the shining objekt are not that annoying, mayo also complaind about the fear take down as if it was a bad thing and that i don't get at all, i think it is awsome and it just another option to batmans arsenal, also there are so many more enemies to deal with in knight so even with a fullt uppgraded fear take down it will still be plenty to fight and you could chose not to use it if he feels it makes combat to easy, mayos complaindt about the suit up part make no sens it just a short suit upp part somthing i belive asylum hade as well, and even if it was annoying who cares it is not long at all and I am fairly certain that it can be skipped as well if i remember correctly and even if it can not it does not last that long

Something nobody's brought up about the tanks is that they didn't need to hear Batman originally. They were made expecting Batman to be in the same Batmobile as he'd been using, such as the one in Asylum. (The one that bodied Croc.) They were not expecting a tank that can rapidly swap between high mobility and overwhelming precision long-distance assaults. The tanks DO almost immediately respond to you being in their view, and if you're not in combat mode they lock onto you effectively and almost instantly take their shots. They were designed to counter a fast-moving weaponless (Or barely-armed) Batmobile, even the Cobra tanks were meant to control chokepoints and trap the Batmobile. Again, it's made clear when you first field the car against the militia that they were NOT expecting just how powerful and resilient the new Batmobile is.

I thought I'd give my opinion on the suit-up sequence as an art nerd. I know it wasn't the full intent for the scene in the first place, but suit up scenes are extremely cool to me because of the attention to detail and showing you how the suit works. From an art perspective, it makes a lot of sense that it would show this. I use suit up scenes to get inspiration and to learn how their suits move and stuff.

The funniest thing about his problem with the suit up scene is that it 100% has a point. Prior to Knight, Batman moves pretty slow. The maps are smaller, the need for mobility is significantly less important. With Knight, its a massive map, im pretty sure almost three times the size of City, the need for Batman to be SPEEDY is major. This new suit gives a canon explanation for why we didn't have an eject seat before. For better grapnel boosts. For fear takedowns. This is how the Batman dies. This also means that this is the Batman's *final suit.* Thats why it lasts. We are looking at the final iteration of the Bat. The ultimate version, and his most powerful suit. Yes, I'll admit in my eyes it's a tiny bit indulgent. But it has a strong point, gameplay wise and thematically.

He criticizes Ultrakill for “not having an incentive to use weapon variety” (even though it does) saying that player input to do so is “arbitrary”. Weapon variety in Doom Eternal is also heavily arbitrary, as is use of the less used weapons like Full Auto CSG and the Plasma Rifle’s Microwave Beam. If you bring up those criticisms against the latter, he deflects. He calls the suit-up montage in Arkham Knight “Batman porn” as a criticism.

He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

I have a theory as to why the militia tanks don't have sophisticated sensors on their entire surroundings: 1. Is too expensive for the massive amount they made 2. They were meant to guard perimeters (more specifically cobra tanks), not really meant to fight the bat-tank 3. Due to the bat-tank being basically new and unknown, Jason and scarecrow did not expect batman to have a new batmobile with lethal weapons capable of destroying tanks To make it short: Basically, the tanks were meant to ward off the original batmobile (which didn't have weapons) which is why they're destroyed easily and also why they didn't put men in them, the original batmobile would've stood no chance, and if they were manned Batman could adapt and find a way to take them out the tanks by foot, which is what Jason wanted to prevent.

Another thing about the suit scene in Arkham Knight, is that the suit being described plays a role around who the Arkham Knight is. Luscious describes the suit's tech, and later in the game, the Knight not only recognizes exactly what type of armor it uses, but knows how to counter it. It uses what is a seemingly benign explanation for the upgrades the player receive to build on the mystery of who is the Arkham Knight and how is he so familiar with Batman tactics and tech. He doesn't like the game, but will not admit it's a preference matter, so he stretches anything to make it so the game can be considered bad

Two-face could rob a bank for multiple days, the fire crew will never die, etc etc. It isn't that hard to acknowledge. That initial hostage never dies, either. She's a hostage. I think Batman knows they won't kill him so he takes the time to test the suit before going in half-cocked, but that's only if YOU want him to. As stated in the video, it's optional. They're worth doing. You get an upgrade token after each one!

Or with his shifu review he calls it his game of the year and yet he's almost always complaining about it the entire video and a lot of his complaints are less with the game and more so an issue with the roguelike genre as in he criticized what makes a roguelike a roguelike and didn't like it.

The street fights starting out easier in Knight also makes sense when you look at the game's stories.

Knight has him start with a lot of his gadgets due to him coming straight from the Batcave into Gotham after Scarecrow's plan starts. You can even unlock some other gadgets really early because they're being held in the GCPD and Passedina Studios. You actively have more options out the gate because Batman was able to prepare to an extent for this game.

[@brotatochips1079]

I want to add my own point to the whole "If I don't like the game, it's bad and I'm not playing it all the way through" thing. When I was young, I played Fallout: New Vegas. I, being the dumb kid I was, who had just played the more recent Skyrim, thought the main road was a mere suggestion. With how I play games in general, I just kind of go wherever. What happened is that I went the worse way possible to get to vegas, and my over-saving dumbass used the F5 key to quick-save instead of doing normal saves. So I had no other saves on my copy. When I used a quick-save, I had done so with a deathclaw being aggro'd onto me. So I was just in a permanent death-loop. It made me think New Vegas was a bad, unfair game cause my idiot-kid brain rationalized it that way. A few years later, I returned to the game, and guess what? It's now one of my favorite games of all time. I think Mayo just doesn't understand that sometimes, your opinions on a game, can be falsely made by the mistakes you've made. I believe his mistake was instead of taking the game's systems and thinking "What can I do with these to interact with the enviroment?" and more just brute forcing his way through. Just how I see it.

[@icarusgaming6269]

Okay, I made the mistake of revisitng the series in reverse order, but after tons of experimenting and researching combo videos I still think Knight is easier because your options to deal with complicated enemy types are never so committal that you could get caught out by another attack during the time it takes to perform them. Knight tests your ability to understand a complex ruleset via reactions to one stimulus at a time. City tests your ability to plan up to three seconds into the future against a simpler ruleset... and I think that makes Knight the better game. Getting cancelled out of a aerial redirect by a Titan flattening the entire arena feels like trash, and I'm not good enough to figure out when that's going to happen. In Knight I can interrupt my combo to squeeze off gadgets, let the auto targeting system manage which enemy currently has the highest aggression priority, and continue isolation maneuvers regardless of camera direction so I can focus on the ruleset and using the right overpowered move to deal with the right nuanced enemy behavior The thematic meaning of the suit up sequence is Batman becoming more violent, just a part of his very near downfall to the Joker prion virus. With the exception of Grapnel Boost Mk 2, all the upgrades you get allow you to hit harder and break bones faster. This is also why Batman turned his car into a war machine *before* the militia invasion. Shortly after this we get a combat arena absolutely stuffed with environmental takedowns at Ace Chemicals to showcase his neefound brutality. The Joker hallucination criticizes his new initiative during the early tunnel infiltration, and there's another arena just like that after this. Even the wandering rioters make comments about the Bat "hitting harder"

For drones here ny take on why human maned drones don't work. In order to operate a tank you would need three people per tank, a driver, gunner and commander. In order to have same level tanks as seen in game arkham knight would have to employ 2400+ milita men on top of months of training it would require to operate them. This of course far more unbelievable than the drones. Even if this was case the writer would just have batman use some sort of emp gun to disable the tanks.

[@emberfist8347]

Not to mention trained tank crews don’t grow on trees. The game makes clear most of the Militia were soldiers who dishonorably discharged which means infantry as most of the time people who would commit actions that would warrant such a discharge aren’t given multi-million dollar equipment which describes modern tanks.

Isn’t this the dude who raged when people told him to explore the open world in Elden Ring

The more under the mayo goes on, I feel like an anime character when they're annoyed.

4:30 It's not meant to be REALISTIC, it's a GAME.

[@CSM-fz9qo]

the fact he struggled with thugs on the street in Arkham City is sad man, thats a skill issue

[@dravengarcia8658]

I'm not that good at the game but even I find them very easy, that's just sad

[@semvision]

City's combat is so much smoother than Asylum's too it runs like butter.

[@awasteofspace-man2668]

7:02 the reason the combat is ‘easier’ is because you can cancel out of more attacks into counters. Like in City if you do a ground pound you can’t cancell that, in Knight you can. This is obviously a choice they made and not a negative, if anything it a great choice because you essentially fight armies later on.

Why this guy's is making an opinion of a game that he even doesn't have finished? Is he stoid?

[@spiderturtle5292]

Honestly, calling Arkham Knight an incredibly serious game while a vast majority of it is spent with Joker making fun of every little encounter is pretty funny. If anything, the amount of Joker in this game is more distracting than the amount of Batmobile at times. I like him as much as the next guy, but jeez.

[@offside_whale]

It seems like he only hates games if they're not Doom.

[@SnazzierLol]

He does not follow his own advice when learning the games mechanics.

[@shatteredakuma]

Wow I wasn't expecting it to be THIS bad. This actually makes me mad, the amount of nitpicking is absurd

[@Nighto]

I used to watch Mayo when he did Doom about 2 years ago. Considering this is the same guy that played Doom on Nightmare and Ultrakill on violent (supposedly), it's super strange that he says there's "Too much crap on screen!" in Arkham Knight which a SUPER digestible game in comparison. I question if he just switched over to rage bait after I stopped watching him.

[@JayceCH.]

He's ALWAYS been about ragebait.

[@bigrigjoe5130]

I don't think "Your opinion is invalid unless you finish the game" holds up IF you're not having fun and the game sucks for hours, "Hey what if it suddenly 180ed later, you never know" is weird when you could just go to play any one of the 10,000 games that don't suck. Especially for Arkham Knight were it's not like the gameplay dramatically changes as you play And I love Arkham Knight before someome jumps down my throat. I'm just saying "You have to play something you don't like for 8+ hours having a miserable time before you are allowed to say you don't like it" Do you have to eat an entire meal you dislike on the off chance the last bite isn't as bad as the previous 35?

[@DPAnime1415]

I can't take mayo seriously after his Elden Ring stream. Bro's opinion on games doesn't matter to me anymore after that disaster.

[@jokesterio1456]

UndertheMayo: "every game that isnt Doom Eternal is bad"

[@jaysen2569]

The only time I “touch” myself to Batman is when I’m clapping

[@cringeproductions7081]

16:13 I find it WILD mayo talks about people comparing everything to doom, when no one brought up doom in relation to Arkham knight, and mayo is LITERALLY the doom fanboy comparing everything (like ultra kill) to doom

[@blaykay-4797]

I think he's mad the game requires more brains than just senseless killing. Legit this person is the only person I've heard ever put Batman & DOOM in the same topic. I'd hoped he'd let it die with that trash Halo critique he made
