The game's budget was huge. And they basically completely rewrote UE3.

[@ganr1277]

Better than Gotham Knights

[@diegopansini3152]

@@ganr1277eagues better, simply because Knight had the guts to stylize every aspect of Gotham. The rain, the ocean, the buildings, everything. While Gotham made everything look overrealistic and bland, despite having better graphics

[@gavinderulo12]

@@ganr1277 the assets quality Of Gotham Knights is on another level. Arkham knight has the better artstyle though.

[@JoelMiller431]

Just a quick little note: You have to finish all the side missions to get the real ending, even the Riddler side mission regardless of how many riddles they want us to complete

[@iCoolaxe]

Watching the real ending from youtube is the sensible way of getting it.

[@СерафимТоманов]

Well, actually, Riddler's secrets in AK are interesting to solve, because FINALLY we must use gadgets to get what we need. And in the interesting way, not too easy like in Arkhan Asylum or not too boring like in Arkham Origins or City.

[@Narutoanime16g]

Riddler was hard but not as tricky as City imo lol

[@somerandomperson9670]

I never did all of the riddler stuff since they were too much for my twelve year old brain back then, and also the disc got lost in a fire, so that sucks

The graphics for this game still beat most games today. I also adore the art style and atmosphere in this.

[@CurbStompa]

Love how they managed to make Gotham look Industrial, Gothic, Futuristic and Modern in this game.

[@diegopansini3152]

They stylized everything so well, they really thought of everything. Gotham Knights just settled to make the city look realistic and left it that way, nothing was stylized

[@Leranort]

Exactly 💯 and this is Unreal Engine 3 to my knowledge lol.

[@theguy3129]

The lighting was on point.

[@Skyytea]

The game looks so impressive. Makes me wonder what some recent games excuses are 🤔

[@d4rkknxght]

ate his ass is crazy

[@nick15684]

8 years later and this is still one of the best-looking games made since then. It's super impressive and was breathtaking for a 2015 game. This has the best combat of any of the Arkham games, it's super well-refined and very smooth with lots of gadgets and combos.

[@Justin.Franks]

1:16 You shouldn't have an issue getting a 100x combo in some of the larger fights later in the game. The Critical Strikes upgrade you got will help, since you get 2x for a well-timed strike. 15:10 Yes, the gliding has a few little extras, like kicking/jumping off walls and other objects if you hit them at a glancing angle. 48:16 FYI, you don't get any XP for beating up random enemies in the street in this game. 1:09:40 You need to press the glide button three times to get the upgraded grapnel boost. You'll be launched _significantly_ further. There are upgrades to make it even more powerful too. 1:12:46 Because it uses microwave radio frequencies. A lot of communications towers use microwaves, they're not just useful for cooking food. 1:21:40 Batman's mouth doesn't move for his internal dialogue. 1:24:20 You need to rotate the camera sometimes to get the next target for the fear multi-takedown. 1:34:22 I tried posting directions to change it to Playstation controls, but YT interpreted the filename as a link and wouldn't post it. Search Reddit in the Steam subreddit for a thread titled "How to change in-game Xbox Buttons prompts to Dualshock 4 Buttons?" (I also found it by Googling "arkham knight pc playstation icons"). You need to edit a config file manually, but it should work, just make a backup of the file so you have a good copy in case you break something. 1:48:46 The enemies in white are medics. They will revive enemies you've taken out. You can change the Batmobile battle mode to be a toggle (so you switch between driving and battle modes just by pushing the button instead of having to hold it down to stay in battle mode) in the game options. This is much more convenient with how much the Batmobile is used in the game. The option is called "Battle mode toggle" and should be turned ON.

[@mitchy17]

I was also going to suggest using the Batmobile "Battle mode toggle", this a very good suggestion. 😎😎😎😎

[@christar1ful301]

You do actually get XP from beating random thugs it’s just much faster to get upgrade points from doing side missions

[@gavinderulo12]

@@mitchy17 imo you are way less agile with the toggle.

[@FuzzyPigeon]

You actually also can get 3x combo for critical strikes once you get the freeflow upgrade that increases damage while your combo meter is full

I found myself watching all of your arkham playthroughs and it made me jump back into finishing Arkham Knight. After 3 years without being spoiled, I finally finished the game and all I can say is I can’t wait to see your playthrough cuz it’s a incredible experience. The game is so beautiful and writing, symbolism and the trippy nature of scenes is SO GOOD. Keep up the great work! I love your commentary and gameplay style !

[@Skyytea]

That’s awesome! Thank you so much for watching 😊🙏🏼

[@VinnieSajan]

That jumpscare when you saw the joker is the literal reaction that you *would* have to seeing someone unexpectedly come back from the dead and in the most unexpecting place.

[@mckenan3578]

I jumped just like that the first time I played!

[@projectpat8807]

The Manbat jumpscare you can see coming if you know what to do. After Riddler reveals he has Catwoman and tells you to come to the orphanage and the screens all turn to question marks, IMMEDIATELY grapple up to the building that the camera heavily focuses on with the screen of Riddler. It'll trigger Manbat. It ALWAYS works for me and I never fall for it.

[@kieranholmes8086]

This is the first time I’ve seen someone play this game and not know they could drive the batmobile, that reaction was amazing hahaha

[@ZiadJimmy]

There is an important item you should pick up from the evidence locker room in the GCPD Also you can return to the clocktower at any time. Also the challenges at 1:14:04 serve as tutorial so it is better to do them all as soon as you get them. You may wanna try a punch 42:05

@@Batman-ps4om I did it by accident on my most recent playthrough about a month or so ago. So I only recently found out myself and laughed my ass off when I saw it.

[@projectpat8807]

I heard you don't want to get the gadget from the GCPD locker room until the game tells you. It causes progression errors for some. I've never had the issue on PC or Xbox One (play the Xbox One version on my Xbox Series X), but people have reported that if you get it too soon, various things can happen. Either your save file automatically deletes itself, game crashes and you have to delete the save file or else the game continues to crash whenever you load the save, you can't continue on in the game's main story or side missions can't be unlocked or continued, or your save file becomes corrupt and you'll have to delete it.

[@MonstersArcade]

Alfred begging Bruce to leave and him just saying "Its what you taught me, always do the right thing" always gets me.

[@Aerondise]

It’s really refreshing that Skyytea plays games (and even series) to completion. Some let’s players go back and fourth and play multiple games at the same time. It’s nice to know if I’m watching a Batman Arkham episode, the next video released will be Batman Arkham. Love it, keep up the great work!

[@brunothebully5943]

Yes, you can remotely control the Batmobile which is crucial at times. When battling the tanks it is more side to side dodging. Later it will get harder.

[@JoaLoft]

17:10 I had a big-ass smirk on my face when you watched in awe, because that's exactly how I reacted when I saw the Batmobile come in to play. This entire game has such a well-designed introduction to... everything. You'll love the game, guaranteed!

[@CyberWiz91]

Lets get it Skyy!! Thank you for the consistent and quality content!

[@RuskyHMusic]

Here's a tip: LT - L2, RT - R2, Lb-L1, Rb-R1, B - Circle, X - Square, Y - Triangle, A - X. When doing a fear takedown to select another target you have to move your camera to the enemy. You can drive the batmobile at any time when near a suitable road, to change the camera on the batmobile is will be Rb(R1) when a thug has a red marker above you can use LT(L2) to quickly dismiss them. Use Grates to do stealth missions as they are much easier to complete. Also you can pick up weapons as batman to use back at them to deal heavier damage. With the batmobile weapons as well aim at the lights on the tanks to deal more successful damage

[@justinbaltzell5458]

It's a joy watching you play. You're not afraid to look geeky and show wonder at what you're playing and seeing. The Batman Arkham games are near and dear to me. Even though Knight is, IMO, the weakest of the lot, I'm eager to see your perspective on it. Honestly, you're probably one of my favorite streamers, and you're doing wonderful.

[@schplengie1]

HAHAHAAA I was so excited for you to get to the Batmobile! I was literally clapping and laughing. Microwaves are simply wavelengths of energy like light and heat and radio. These make up part of the electromagnetic spectrum and they all emit radiation to some degree. Microwave ovens use microwaves to cook our food just more intensely than heat. Interestingly, microwave wavelengths are about as thick as a pencil, which is why microwave ovens have those tiny holes in the window so you can safely see the food without getting cooked yourself. The microwaves just bounce off and cant make it through. You can use microwaves to transmit signals safely in a more open environment because they aren't concentrated in a small space and focused. Anyway, hope that helps!

[@Stormb1essed]

Using the grates and other takedown methods adds a ton of variability, satisfaction, and fun to the gameplay

[@cop-doc601]

During the battle: Knock out the medics first if possible. Do not forget about fast devices, the same batarang is able to knockout an opponent running at you with a red counterattack sign. You can also interact with the environment when the opponent is highlighted in blue, you need to press the same combination as with knockout using the Batmobile. And also that decisive takedown is very useful.

[@X-CALABA]

You are the only person I’ve seen play this get confused about what to do after getting shown the battle mode of the tank and it’s hilarious 😂.

[@The_Phantasm]

I'v talked about this before but I highly recommend watching the interview tapes from all the games because they offer some of the best and most character heavy conversations in the series.

[@JBat-Gaming]

I started this game again so I can help in any way possible. Here’s some tips. If you hold RT and triangle at the same time on the edge of a building or ledge you will dive off You’ll get a gadget from a certain other hero who shows up later kickstarting Penguin’s sidemission, upgrade that as much as possible Upgrade your grapple and eject boosts quickly Play the sidemissions as you go through the story, don’t wait till the after you beat the story to start them Learn what buttons quickfire each gadget. You’ll meet certain enemy types that require you to use them A silent takedown will recharge your fear takedown

[@Starkiller2725]

This is the best Arkham game, in my opinion. Watching you makes me want to replay it. Also, i was sooo looking forward to the Joker appearing like that and your reaction did not disappoint. :D I rewinded it a couple of times even. :D

Also in this game you have to dive while gliding for a bit longer to be able to pull up higher, there's a sweet spot where you gain enough speed while diving so that when you to pull up you can glider higher than you were and for longer. If you dive from the highest building, you can glide around the whole map without touching the ground if you keep diving and pulling up. Most fun way to travers any game.

The best part of this game is the immersion. I was doing that ACE Chemicals part and the music got more and more dramatic and the shaking was really intense. Then my house shook.

I remember being so hype at the "even the odds" part when you call in the Batmobile. It was so exciting! Then you use the Batmobile on the first mission. And the second. And the third...and every side mission...until you realize Arkham Knight is a solid 70 percent Batmobile gameplay and you want to rip your hair out.

0:34 Congrats on coming out! I was surprised to see that Arkham Origins was displaying incorrect control buttons because it should be able to detect your controller and support PS. This game absolutely does have PlayStation controls so I bet it's a problem with your controller. I suggest looking up how to install/update drivers for your controller. I never liked how you must hold left trigger for combat mode in the Batmobile. You can change those controls in the settings where you toggle the modes rather than having to hold a button during the whole damn fight.
