The dark knight system was a mistake

[Jindrik]

I'm pretty much already aware at this point that the games way of tracking dark knight challenges is garbage.. and the fact that they don't specify that some of them can only be done in certain scenarios which is a whole lot of bull crap in itself-
And I love the game but- this right here is total garbage that just ruined me!

I'm at the point where you are trying to "save" Roman from joker in the mill- just got bast the first armored brute enemy, my ranks in dark knight challenges were (and still are because of a crash!!!) 14, 15, 7, 12 (worst nightmare challenge 6 bugged out on me and I somehow earned it much earlier than I'm supposed to)
The group you face is pretty big including the punching bag of a brute than you can easily reach 30+ combo just from him alone giving you a lot of "room" to do other variations on the smaller group. which I did! I got a variation of 22 combo of 66 and bam- nothing.. rank 15 didn't unlock. I was quite bummed out but know there are other places I can easily get it on. But then! the moment i went down the elevator and fought the tiny group of enemies- suddenly it unlocked in the middle of the fight! So i thought cool! I no longer need to worry about this one and focus of worst nightmare. Once the fight is over, I wanted to open my map to see if there were any data logs in the area nearby and just get my bearing since I went to a new floor...
And suddenly my game freezes and crashes... despite me seeing the icon for auto save finishing in the corner- my save got rolled back to before I entered the elevator- So now I'm just pissed! I know I'll have more opportunities to get rank 15 and it's by far not the hardest of the dark knight challenges but it's still annoying that I got a crash- right at that moment despite this game never ever EVER, even crashing or lagging on me...

Whoever designed this part of the game- I sincerely hate you with a passion.
I like the challenges! They are fun and interesting- but I hate the design of the guessing game you gotta go through just to see if "will this work? will it not? am I in the right encounter?"
Anyways- Just needed to rant...

This is one of the major reasons this game is so hated.

I always thought it was due to it being a different studio (with different art direction from rocksteady) and the plethora of bugs? (aside from the bad challenge tracking)
But I guess it does make sense- if you ignore all that the game is actually pretty good considering its not made by rocksteady

I don't think anyone would have issues with it being made by Montreal if it wasn't for the problems. I'm not sure what's wrong with the art, I think it's quite good. Yes the bugs are one of the problems too. Some people didn't like that they used different voice actors. But for me the worst part is that you can miss out on 100%. Rocksteady made sure you couldn't.

Yeah that is kinda a pain- I mean it wouldn't be half bad if only they actually "told" you what encounters some of the challenges could be done in. Just hoping I haven't missed any challenge encounters now!
