| Yeah, those "Batmobile as a free-rolling mobile turret vs RC tanks" parts are pretty lame and annoyingly plentiful.
Ironically, while the gameplay is inferior, I think Arkham Asylum was the most fun of the trilogy. The Tim Burton haunted house aesthetic was delightful, and Mark Hammil's Joker hurling abuse at his goons every time I took one down was a blast. Then Arkham City came along and the series got really grim. Knight looks better than City, but it's a really unpleasant experience overall. Arkham Knight doesn't get properly enraged and berate his goons as I take them down, and taking on professional mercenaries just isn't as fun as terrifying cartoon meat heads. Plus I didn't need to see The Killing Joke's torture scenes play out in full HD. And with all the fun drained out of the otherwise drop-dead-gorgeous set dressing, the best gameplay in the trilogy feels so much more hollow. Mark of the Ninja did the predator gameplay better, and One Finger Death Punch 2 did the timing-based mass combat better. Aggressive youtube video recommendations ruined the ending of this game for me years ago. At 70GB and with Cyberpunk releasing in less than a week, I think I'm gonna bail on Arkham Knight. |
