The Joker implementation was actually really really well done. I'm near completion of the game, and the slow tumble into insanity as Batman becomes more and more like the Joker in his actions, the environmental hallucinations (i.e. you'll see a poster of a jokerfied batman in your peripheral, double take and it'll be totally normal), and his commentary on your actions is great. These guys are just being cynical. I doubt they play through the whole game and say the Joker stuff sucks
I will never understand all the bitching about the Batmobile. It was something lots of fans, myself included, were asking for, plus it's a natural evolution of the series and a fantastic addition. If Arkham Knight was just more of City/Origins everyone would be bitching and whining that they didn't change or add anything. Plus, launching out of the Batmobile, flying around, and then landing back in it makes you feel rad as fuck.
The way the Joker is implemented into this game is just fantastic. Wait until you start seeing him as a random thug in fights, or when he scares you as you grapple up buildings. He also has very clever lines.
Patrick Helyer very true. My 980ti is having hardly any issues. But it still dost excuse the fact this port is pure garbage. I'm still loving it tho. 16 hours in
Wait, am I missing something? Batman doesn't kill but I am assuming people are driving the tanks that bats is destroying .... skynet is the bad guy in this?
***** He is the epitome of a whiny emo douche. Batman can afford a new batsuit, with new gadgets and a new ride every fucking 5 minutes but throwing loads of cash at reinforcing the place he sends the criminals? Nah, not an option. This is the guy who is not a day over 50 but has managed to "master" how many various martial arts and criminal studies? As well as maintain a business and all other kinds of crap? People who love batman are as blind to his faults as Christians are to the Christian bible's faults!
***** Your free to disagree with me, maybe it is written well, but sorry I'm freakin sick of the over use of the Joker in these Batman games and really I would give Rocksteady a little more respect if they actually tried and make a Batman game, without the need of the Joker.
Alex Olinkiewicz Well I assure you he's gone now. It was nice to have Hamill return for one last one. I didn't think it was an overuse though in arkham knight. I can see why someone who didn't play it would think it is but he's really not. He doesn't even show up that often but when he does it's awesome because he's just in Batman's head.
So it´s exactly another Arkham game, but with a bunch of mediocre at best car sections added throughout. Oh and massive amounts of problems on PC. Okay then.
I'd normally agreed with you but I feel like this a true sequel to City more so then even Asylum to City. The combat got some really cool gimicks, the Batmobile is actually pretty darn cool, the puzzles (not the riddles) are simple but I thought they were actually fun, every main story mission has something big and wow moment happen. I thought it'd just be another Arkham game but damn I'm truly impressed by it. I highly recommend it if you liked the other games at all.
Fair enough, I haven´t looked that deeply into the full campaign, pacing, the number of legit great levels and such. And I very much don´t doubt it´s all and all a great game. But from everything I have seen(don´t have Knight yet) it is very much a "direct" sequel City, rather than a leap forward that Asylum to City was. And this was rather hyped to be. And I guess that´s where some of the disappointment comes from, too much hype around it. And I with all that said, once the dust settles and patches roll in, I wouldn´t be surprised if Knight was considered to be the best Arkham game yet.
DariusOne Well maybe I'm special case since I literally saw no pre release stuff at all besides the first demo or trailer they shown I can't remember so all these new things were new to me.
No one in the comments is gonna acknowledge the fact that the guy playing this is absolutely horrible at the game and poorly informed about its features? "Is there multiplayer in this?" "Not that I've seen." NO. There isn't, and any idiot who has been following the news on this game would know that. This guy ultimately made the game look bad with his poor gameplay and that's what convinced so many of you that you're not gonna buy it.
Watching this video made me think what jackasses the people are who gave Kevin van Ord shit over his 7/10 Gamespot review. If this video is representative of the game then he's the only guy who gave it the score it deserved.
superotakushow What do you consider "interesting quests" in an open world action game? There's a surprisingly good variety of things to do here and there's a lot of it, so that simply isn't the case unless this sort of game has absolutely no appeal for you.
SuperLordPedro If Gotham city's insanity looks dull to you, then don't play the Witcher 3, the Fallout titles or Skyrim. Don't play any open worlds, to tell the truth.
Pierre-Olivier Lavoie I love Witcher 3 and Skyrim. The witcher 3 is completely different from the first 2 but this game has the exact same mechanics as the first 2 which is getting old now. Also I couldn't play this if I wanted to as I have a PC.

Holy shit, a Dio Brando reference in the first few minutes? I love you, Brad.
Robert Wolf Austin's never gonna make anime editor at this rate
How do you go from this to suicide squad kill the justice league. God damn.
This seems like a great game to buy four months from now when the price drops significantly.
***** Then again I feel like that's most games these days.
demontrace Haha!
Isn't this the prequel to Big Momma's House?
rents must be pretty cheap in gotham.
It is Mark Hamill!

There probably is a JoJo stand that's just dead parents.
Elwood Would Limp Bizkit count?
+Alexander Theofanopoulos I'm here , seven months later, to point out: Atom Heart Father
How do they know JoJoz?!
23:30 street light takedown. achievement unlocked. LOL :D
I actually like the joker scenes. I guess it gives batman shit to think about and instead of him doing a monologue, you have joker being a prick.
***** I understand where you are coming from.
17:30 Isn't she Batgirl? Shouldn't her reaction be to drop kick his ass instead of turning and running?
Joker is not there because of the fear toxin, he's there for another reason that I won't spoil (I find it's a pretty cool plot point)
This looks great. Will be greatly anticipating the Definitive GOTY Etc Edition.
6:20 i was over here...
6:25 NOW IM OVER HERE
Brad reminding everyone that he's still not very good at videogames. And that is okay.
Now how about a quicklook of the pc version ;)
Great vid as always
Mines running like a dream. Don't know what everyone else is doing.
Windows 8.1
I7 4770k
16gb ram
Gtx 980
geetarplayer174 congrats
geetarplayer174 If you throw enough hardware at something it will eventually run fine, that doesn't excuse a shit port.
Patrick Helyer very true. My 980ti is having hardly any issues. But it still dost excuse the fact this port is pure garbage. I'm still loving it tho. 16 hours in
Can people explain to me why it's a bad port?
It plays the same as on console, same reaolution, same framerate, same performance if marginally better.
Unstable Framerate. Lower Quality textures. Resource hog. No pc specific settings like AO to name a few
I don't read/watch/play much Batman and I skipped around the video a lot, what did "I already killed half of her!" mean?
Joker paralyzed Barbara Gordon by shooting her in order to test Commisioner Gordon.
Fuck spoilers, the knight of regards to arkham is robin. Call him syndrome!
Why is the Joker in this game? Isn't he dead?
He's in your head
Wait, am I missing something? Batman doesn't kill but I am assuming people are driving the tanks that bats is destroying .... skynet is the bad guy in this?
theomega616 The game's excuse is that they're unmanned.
So in order to fuck batman up, just make a tank with a man in it? haha
***** or he could man up and kill somebody for the greater good.
***** Instead he throws them into a prison that acts more like a revolving door. It's not a punishment, it's an inconvenience
***** He is the epitome of a whiny emo douche.
Batman can afford a new batsuit, with new gadgets and a new ride every fucking 5 minutes but throwing loads of cash at reinforcing the place he sends the criminals? Nah, not an option.

what the fuck is grapnel? Grrr-apple
Why is the audio reversed?
Seriously? I know the Joker is extremely popular, but do you really have to find someway to shoe horned him into game, even though.... HE'S DEAD
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) They wrote it in pretty nicely.

The batmobile seems so unnecessary and stupid. The lame strafing & tank controls doesnt look or feel like what youd expect from the batmobile.
Well, you still could drive it like a normal Batmobile while not in the Tank mode.
This was a free gift with my gtx 970...why couldn't they have given me witcher 3 instead...
Jeff seems to dislike everything now a days. Probably time for a vacation away from games a few months.

This looks like a really dull open world game.

faltu game
Good lord this game looks boring. That and the massive performance issues on PC. WTF is this game and why does it exist?
