Serious letdown for me too.

The boss fights in previous titles (including Origins) were pretty awesome and now it's just... Tank battles. Kinda lame.

There are boss fights, they just don't seem like boss fights, it's just normal gameplay with a small twist, eg: a tank that can see 360 degrees instead of just a small portion, or enemies that come back to life so you need to do a special move on them to keep them down.

Not to mention the "twist" with Arkham Knight would have been really cool/surprising, except they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shoved obvious clues down your throat

Yea one of the best fights in the game history is the one in origins against deathstroke. So beautiful. And here. Nothing at all. Those stealth tank boss fights are utter garbage.

Agree, there aren't really any boss-fights in the game. I was very disappointed that the Arkham Knight didn't even really fight Batman, just some tank battle that can be over in 20 seconds.

Yeah and origins was the one outsourced to a different game studios! What is batman if not threshing some bad guy really hard?

you mean like taking out the penquin's men with night wing or wanna be jokers and harley with robin or taking out twoface all stealth like while he's robbing a bank using the shadows and fear or using his gadgets and the batmobile to take out other vehicles..

yeah thats nothing like batman...oh wait...

That's indeed a point. Those so called boss fights here are at least well made into the batman story. But.. if you played the other arkham games. You just think that something is .. wrong or missing.

I just were deeply disappointed that there are no typical boss fights like in the other games. Which are all.. well made. Except firefly in origins.. aaaand here of course.

Blame everyone including the media that said the boss fights were bad or weak points in the games. They're the reason why Rocksteady have decided to go this way. Personally I didn't miss them too much, I think this game does a terrific job of making you feel like Batman doing what he does. Penguin can't always have an indestructible monstrosity to duke it out with but I did like things like the Ra's fight and Freeze's stealth fight from City.

Rocksteady's boss fights were always bad. Almost as bad as the ones in Deus EX HR.

Like it or not, WB Montreal did much better in terms of story and bosses in Origins.

it just feels like they left out every villain that could have made for a boss fight, all of the sidemissions involved bad guys that could never go up against batman

im hoping they reserved a few of them for the dlc (even though i really think they should have just been in the game to begin with) because all i want is a real boss fight against mr freeze instead of that crappy stealth fight in city

I think there's just an overall lack of actual cqc combat for important villains versus the lame drone fest.

IMO boss's fight is good for one time only, but if you beat the game 4 or 5 times you will get sick of it and want to skip it, so I guess it' better this way.

To be fair, the only real boss fight in the entire Arkham series was Vs. Mr. Freeze. Everything else just felt like facing one of the regular enemies that just happened to have more health (Bane and Titan Joker for example).

Origin bosses fights were so lame and the same all you were doing is counter attack.

did people actually liked that fight? i felt like it was so boring, stealth takedown this one guy 8 times and he never gets to attack you because its super easy to avoid one person

mr freeze was the one villain i was looking forward to fighting and they just turned him into a walking turret
