Gotham Knights (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S) is a game I truly wanted to love. After detailing my complaints in Gameranx’s Before …

I would agree this game isnt perfect but what it does well is very fun.
gotham knights is amazing game
I wish they at least gave us cutscenes including u and ur co op partner
It really does feel like a live service game that has no live service. They should have either committed to live service 😬 (usually bad) or gone with the tried and true Arkham format. It’s a weird halfway house game that’s ultimately just mid 🤷♂️

In 2024 the new cp2077 movie is coming out and yes it as the guy from Barbie in it u should that two
Gn rip 🪦 dead ☠️ to me thay liar to us
It's funny how developers are making these multiplayer online games to keep people engaged for longer and longer, yet the games I replay over and over are the original Arkham trilogy: engaging stories with amazing gameplay. So tired of all these RPG elements (gear, leveling) being added to every single game that comes out. I still haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger on this game. I really wanted a single player Batman game based on the Court of Owls storyline from the comics, could have been an amazing investigative game…
I would love to play it if it came to game pass but I couldn’t see myself buying it
Biggest mistake of this game was having Tim drake instead of Damian
Aside The forced 30fps The Game also forces You to do Side missions if You want story progression.
Story wise is not that Bad.
But I feel this Game is very restrictive with The player, it shouldnt force You to do Side missions, it shouldnt force You to play 30 fps we are not in old gen anymore, Even The grinding feels akward. It's not a Bad Game but its not a good One either
Wouldve been a great sequel to arkham knight if they integrated the idea of red hood coming back into the light. Sadly they ditched it
Same. Love Batman. Love the series. Really enjoyed this game for a while, but kind of lost interest and decided it was taking up too much space on my hard drive :/ stoked that this might thrust the bat family more into the main stream, but overall kinda bummed that the game didn’t meet the standard of its predecessors. Hopefully it doesn’t kill the series.
W.B redeemed itself with Hogwart’s Legacy.we forgive them.
I felt the same way about Forbidden West
Im
Liking it but only because my bro an i are playing it together other wise other than that your pretty spot on
i'm a comics guy. i don't stick to just one company/universe: justice league, teen titans, fantastic four, x-men , spawn, savage dragon, invincible , and everything in between.
I will say i love my antiheros: punisher, ghost rider, and wolverine
i did like red hood initially but since his no kill rule i kinda feel indifferent , so in his stead i lean more towards deadshot and the suicide squad.
the loot and millions of different weapons is weird
Just wanna sit and talk with you about games for hours
Im i. the early stages of the game as i only play with my gf. And i think you’re completely right this definitely is a game only a type of people will play. I personally love it! but i understand why people were wishing for a more arkham style
Yeah I felt the same way with this game. Batman is literally my favorite character in all mediums. My man cave is a bat cave. Lol. I really wanted to enjoy this but like Jake said. Just not fun. A game has to have good pacing and just be fun first. I couldn’t even get through the main campaign. I just decided that If I’m not having fun, screw it. So I just uninstalled. There’s potential but it just didn’t work out because of all the grinding forced into the games. We still have 4 great games to play, with a lot of dlc. I just rather play those games.
I just love that there’s actual customization and skins that you don’t have to pay real world money for.
I feel like you exactly put to words to how I felt about it after finishing it, I just felt like everything was real close to being good and hitting but I ended up just getting bored with the grind and not feeling like the story’s end payed off well enough
I actually just finished the game a few hours ago and although I agree the game is a little grindy I actually really really enjoyed it. I do agree though you can definitely tell it was going to be a live service game and then they changed their minds halfway through. Honestly though I hope the game gets a sequel and I hope it's done better because I think there's a lot of potential here
This is why I like to watch a walkthrough before buying the game because u ignore spoilers and get the game and u get home disappointed
I bought it, played the first hour, and Im having trouble keeping interest. I want to try to like it but I cant get through the funk of not enjoying it yet. Maybe after GOW Ragnarok Ill put the effort in.
The game was fun tbh if your not a super in depth detailed reviewers or something YOU WILL HAVE FUN these guys expectations are just sooooo high lol I don’t knock it though it’s their jobs
If this game was 30fps and had incredibly amazingly undeniable animations , I would love it. I think that would be the right direction for companies, at 30fps.
This was a lil d game, sadly. I’ll buy it on Black Friday but only because I have to buy two copies and the frame rate. The combat looks boring af but my partner wants it. 😅😢
I wonder if some of the debate about this game's overall quality really comes down to the pre-existing divide between the older-school Batman comic fans who favored a more Batman centric style and the younger fans who have really, really become attached to the whole "Bat-family" concept. Perhaps there is even a bit of friction because of the way that the CW style shows have influenced the comic fandom with more of a focus on quip-filled teenage drama style writing and less on the more traditional comic story format. In a way, the Arkham series was very deeply rooted in that older-school Batman comic style (or even the early 90's animated series) while Gotham Knights feels more like it is trying to VERY directly appeal to those who are really only in it for the modern "Bat-family" concept or even the Arrowverse like stuff.
There are some who think that it is unfair to compare this game to the Arkham series but I think that misses the larger point. This game is built on the Arkham series foundation. You can see it in its very DNA. It may not be exactly like a Arkham game but it certainly used the Arkham games as its creative jumping-off point. The problem is that in the process, they forgot why the Arkham series worked and instead leaned towards gameplay and narrative concepts that lacked the soul and weight of the Arkham games before.
This game is so fun I can't stop playing it! If you are not an rpg gamer you should stick to other games. Honest review but what game are you comparing this too with your review experience? Arkham is a different story.
I think if they didn’t take out the counter system that the game would’ve had a different feeling to it
Hey Jake who is your favorite comic book character?
I knew people were gonna be let down by this game. It was already on my "buy under $20" list lol
For someone who didn't like Gotham Knights, it does seem like you can't stop making videos about it.
Well here's a suggestion. How about making a positive video for once for the majority of the people who actually liked the game? I'm sure there were things about the game that you liked that could be at least 1-2 videos worth.
"Going through Gotham city on a motorcycle while a squid like Clayface is tearing the city apart. I want a whole game like that"
Do you really though?
The devs should have stuck with the original design. It would have given them time to improve the game by making updates and creating content that peiple would have been engaged in. It's obvious they ran out of time and had to release it as is. Shame though.
