Why did people shit on this game? The combat and stealth were the best they've ever been and the Batmobile added nice variety to gameplay.

It was broken at launch, and the batmobile is dumb. But otherwise it's pretty good, especially now that they fixed it.
Jose Torres
Every once in a while a good game will come out but everybody decides to hate it for some random external reason. In this case I think there was some kind of controversy about WB games or something.
Elijah Wilson
Jason Todd being the twist villain when they said he was an original character
Kevin Perry
They leaned on the batmobile far too heavily. It should be an option but the number of times you're put in it and the duration of those times was far too much.
>Arkham Asylum lets you glide around the island for brief stints
>Arkham City lets you glide & grapple for fast fun navigation across the entire map
>Arkham Knight says "get back in the batmobile and shoot things again"
Bentley Rogers
I think the biggest part of it was a meta-aware audience. Despite gameplay refinements a lot of the fanservice was sort of "used" already in Asylum and City so a lot of the references in Knight felt B tier, the story also was arguably not as good, and doubly frustrating for fans who predicted Knight was Jason, were told explicitly it wasn't him, and then found in game that he was in fact Jason.
Dominic Long
It's mostly because they focused way, way too much on the batmobile. I know it was the game that it was introduced in so they wanted it to give it some spotlight but they went way overboard. They should have cut down the batmobile sections by 60% to make it feel more like a fun inclusion rather than an intrusive mechanic that it ended up being.
Also doesn't help the game was busted beyond belief on launch for PC.
Christian Perry
This. I played until I got to a boss battle against a tank that involved a stealth section while driving the bat mobile…pass
Jordan White
The Batmobile is good but overused, the combat is a downgrade with those enemies that charge at you and make the camera move on its own, the stealth is good but the maps were better in the previous games, also Scarecrow who is my favorite batman villain is pathetic in this game, also why bring Joker back its tiresome, the dlcs (Mr Freeze, Ras and Madhatter) are good but too short, Batgirl in her DLC is hot, Catwoman got an upgrade in her face but a downgrade in her body same with Poison Ivy, the visuals are stunning to this day the rain on Batmans cape the thunder the sea the batmobile wrecking buildings absolute kino
Justin Edwards
Using rc tanks to justify batman not killing is pathetic
Gabriel Williams
The Batmobile was also hampered by the closeness of the map, you had some sections to really let loose but it felt more like a mechsuit than a cool/fast car.
Ethan Roberts
People bitched and moaned about the Batmobile, even though it was only required for about 10% of the game.
Tyler Adams
Why would you go on the internet just to be a lying sack of shit?
Aaron Carter
Do the futue games after the first one have more fights? First game had nice atmosphere and the sneaking was fairly fun if simplistic, but the enemies were just made of paper, I couldn't enjoy the actual fights at all because enemies nearly instantly died.

Some people literally timed it. You spend less than 20% of the game on the Batmobile.
Blake Campbell
How do you go from Arkham Knight to this
Colton Cook
good fucking question
Josiah Stewart
This. Batmobile bitching so insanely overblown I’m convinced every faggot who whines about it didn’t play AK for more than 20 minutes.
Like these dumb fucks.
Camden Thompson
The side quests were very ubisoft tier. Go here and destroy 50 outposts

I can't understand WHY they decided to make the pseudo sequel to the Arkham series a generic loot rpg game. Its just so baffling.
James Brooks
What the hell is this? I'm out of the loop.
Parker Phillips
>The games got progressively worse from Asylum as WB bought into the open world meme
>Resulting issue of the shitty batmobile
>The game was a disaster at launch putting a black mark from the start
>The lie about the knight
>General bamham combat fatigue as the veil had been lifted on how shallow and unrewarding the combat actually was
These are the main reasons.
user, I'm sorry to tell you but this doesn't help the argument. All it shows is that the batmobile portion is so bad it overshadowed 80% of the game.
Landon Fisher
Gotham Knights Its has loot and crafting and other rpg nonsense like materials and enemy levels and wonky looking animations. the best comparison to me is Assassins Creed Odyssey. I plated that game and beat it and Gotham Knights looks exactly the same.
David Turner
Imagine having an issue with the batmobile... in a batman game.
LMAO
And yes you're right OP, it's just as good as the others.
Alexander Hall
I have to assume Gotham Knights is being made by inexperienced devs like Mass Effect Andromeda. It looks so extremely outdated
Xavier Williams
>haha no, the Arkham Knight is an original character! we didn't mention anything about hte man under the mask!
Lincoln Hill
Dylan Cook
>progressively worse from Asylum
you haven't even played the games. That is an indefensible statement.
Landon Reyes
Batmobile is fucking awful. Good game otherwise.
Kevin Gomez
>Why did people shit on this game?
repetitive ubisoft open world
batman is an unlikable dick
batman acts stupid as fuck
always need the batmobile to progress except in the airship and movie studio
batmobile stealth sections
batmobile boss fights
way too much batmobile tank sections
your billion dollar batmobile is outperformed by the mill military APCs
non-stop batmobile cancer forever
almost all the villain side stories like manbat, penguin, two-face, azrael etc. are incredibly low effort
the story is trying to be all dramatic and high stakes and then you have the riddler acting like some scooby doo villain and building roller coaster race tracks and robot punching bags for batman are you fucking kidding me
there are like 250 riddler trophies, actually worse than AssCreed feather collecting at this point

Yeah you've got an idea of the sheeple's opinion now OP.
