Batman: Arkham Knight

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

The more I play (just going through the main story) the more I feel like this game suffers in the same way God of War 2 does.

Foundation of the games are built on simplistic entertainment and fun. While each game's predecessor(s) had puzzles to figure out, not many of them felt like chores or unnecessary. And there was a lot more action/entertainment than the puzzles.

For whatever reason, like GoW 2, this game loses that whole balance. I love the Batmobile, but damn I'd like to feel like I want to use it as opposed to I have to use it. And I feel like as far as the main story goes there's either not enough fighting or the puzzles and time spent trying to figure out what to do is too long.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game. But there are too many, idk, down moments? There are too many times that I start thinking of turning it off and then some sweet sequence happens or the story gets better and I decide to keep going. That didn't happen in the previous 3 games for me; I wanted to keep going.

Simplicity, man. Someone said they're happy that this feels like a new game. I don't necessarily disagree, but it feeling like the previous installments wouldn't have been a bad thing to me.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

This thread has me wanting to cancel my pre-order and wait until a price drop to purchase the game. My favorite in the series was AA. How would some of you rate the titles in order from best to worst? Where would this one fall?
AA, AC, AO, AK

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

While after about 6 hours into the story I am not sure who the Arkham Knight is.

Same here! I've basically stayed away from anything online.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

To be honest I try not to think about it to much, i would rather avoid figuring it out so I can get a surprise out of the reveal.

I've been scared by this game at least 3 times already. I'd love to mention them here. But that would be spoiling it for other people.

I wouldn't wait. I feel as though people will spoil it if you wait that long.

I was going to post a video of something that scared the **** out of me earlier. Caught me completely off guard. I assume it's probably one of the three that got you lol.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Knight on PC lacks console visual features

Ambient occlusion is cut from the game, bokeh depth of field is noticeably dialed back, and the transparency layer used for raindrops is cut from all surfaces as well. Gotham City is stripped of a great deal of atmosphere as a result, with areas appearing lighter without SSAO in place - despite this setting clearly being enabled in the .ini file.

Likewise, rain doesn't appear on Batman or the Batmobile as it does on PS4. The reflective, dewy sheen is missing across the city, though specular and normal maps remain identical to the console release. The PC's highest settings show very little difference otherwise to Sony's console, barring a tweak to motion blur velocity settings.

Let's put it this way: it's the first time we've seen a Radeon HD 7950 3GB - a GPU far more capable than the hardware found in Xbox One or PS4 - recommended for 720p gameplay, paired with a Core i5 to boot. It's not advised to remove the 30fps cap, not even if you have a Core i7 with a GTX 980! There's also recognition of poor streaming from mechanical hard drives, with a note that an SSD will improve performance here - something we can confirm. However, that's quite a remarkable state of affairs bearing in mind that the console versions stream in from slower 5400rpm laptop drives.

With its crippled frame-rate, poor streaming, pared back feature set and bloated minimum and recommended hardware spec, Arkham Knight is bitterly disappointing and should never have been released in this sorry state. There's a massive amount of work required to get this version of the game into shape - as things stand, the experience is totally unacceptable.

That first thing with the scarecrow freaked me out a little. I jumped a little.

Let's not spoil it for anyone. I know it's not much. But I don't want to open a can of worms for anyone. But I totally agree with what your talking about. That threw me for a loop.

Wasn't that shown online somewhere in one of the trailers? I thought it was. Also I think others have brought it up earlier in the thread.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight

Not sure if I was seeing things but something I spotted when first entering the new island. And walking across the train rails.

Spoiler

I thought I saw Man-bat hanging upside down in one of those buildings

You did. It's a side mission titled Creature of the Night.

Also that was another that freaked me out.
