Let's all admit it, Arkham Knight's story is terrible

[76561198041896520]

It is easily the weakest story out of all Arkham games. There was shoehorning the Joker into the story because the writers were too scared to come up with anything original despite Batman having a massive rogue gallery. Remember when the premise of the trailers was that Scarecrow was gonna be the one pulling the strings? And all of the villians were working together? Nah. Lol. Penguin, Two face and Bane for i.e didn't do jack and we didn't see any of that. The Scarecrow takes a backseat in comparison to the Joker. Jason Todd being the Arkham Knight instead of someone like Hush? Also incredibly lazy and safe writing.

And if you won't listen to me for a second, remember that this is the 1st game to mention Superman or the Flash. Even if the Scarecrow won, I would give him 11 minutes max before Superman/The Flash/ Martian Manhunter(he is mentioned by reference) would end the show. Thus removing the entire sense of 'danger'.

Also, the very first image you seen when starting the game is the word "Robin"

People definitely had rose-tinted classes with this game. The story was absolutely terrible, made no sense, and was so forced it was painful. Turning the Joker's blood into a zombie-like virus where he could basically posses people... Well, lets just say whomever wrote that should not be allowed anywhere near another Batman story, period!

The gameplay was/is also a letdown, the way Rocksteady implemented the batmobile was irritating to state the least. It handles terribly, looks over-designed and ugly, and you are forced into mind numbing tank battles with drones over and over again, and you can only use the addon batmobiles (the good ones) after you complete the story, where there is barely any endgame to speak of.

The endgame is pointless, sure you can explore around parts of a boring version of Gotham (but pretty graphics hurr durr, which is enough for most dumb Rocksteady fanboys), but there is no random crime system like Origins had, which was a great endgame feature. No mission replay system, no batcave, no changing between batsuits without having to exit to the main menu (again, like Origins had). Most of the challenges are not accessible in the open world city, one has to exit to the main menu to access them, which is beyond dumb.

To top everything off you once again only get parts of Gotham to explore, and are such a cluster-f**k of a mess that it almost doesn't feel like parts of a real city, more like parts of an amusement park, only the rides are terrible (butt hurr durr, da grafix are gr8).

We need a better, more proper open world Batman game than this (that isn't lego), as Rocksteady never really delivered, and we are way overdue for one.

story is straight trash and rocksteady version of bane and other characters look comedic compared to the wb montreal version of bane and certain characters.

Story is fine. Could be a lot better. Could be a lot worse.

Terrible? I don't think so.

But it was stupid and not that great



Everyone has completely forgotten that this game was not liked back in 2015, its not even like people went "oh its not that bad!" everyone just pretends the game was never hated

It's the weakest story wise (unless you consider the Suicide Squad Canon, which ... why would you?) But the gameplay was tight. Predator takedowns are the slickest stuff ever.

Tank really sucked and got old, shouldn't have been the Deathstroke boss fight. Total let down.

Twist was painfully obvious. Even before the game came out.

Mircotransactions in a solo player game, terrible. But the DLC'S were pretty good (Red Hood's was a bit half baked though, stupid costume too)

Riddler trophies weren't as well implemented thanks to the scale of the map.

A lot of flaws in this game. A lot of reasons to hate it... but I still really love it. The highs are really high, visuals and art direction are perfect, almost exactly how I'd expect Gotham to look.
Gameplay was still fun enough I could overlook all of that and spend countless hours on PS4 platinuming the game, challenge maps and DLC's.

Game is fun to play. Story? I only read where I need to go and who I need to beat up. I didn't even bother unlocking the secret ending: Knightfall, since the Riddler missions are boring and tedious. TBH I even forgot who is the other Batman looking villain besides Scarecrow.

For me, I enjoyed it pretty much coz, it didn't seem obvious at points like other Arkham Titles. The point is I believe that back then, Arkham Knight was not planned to be the last game in the franchise(even though they declared that). There are inconsistencies in the story here and there, that much I admit. Its just another night, they could have made it a Hush night, indeed.
