r/Batman is a great subreddit for discussion of all things Bat, and /r/DcComics is a great place to discuss the comics. Although discussion of the characters in other mediums is allowed, please try and keep the subjects related to the Arkham universe. This subreddit is intended for the discussion of the Batman Arkham games. We’re here to share the love and appreciation of these games, as well as spark insightful discussions and critical analysis of the stories, characters, gameplay and other elements. It's just another game hit by Gamespot's long line of negative reviews, in the same bag with inFamous 2 and Skyward Sword.Welcome to /r/BatmanArkham! This is a subreddit for the Batman: Arkham universe, including Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Knight and all mobile/comics tie-ins. Maybe I'm just sick and tired of Gamespot badmouthing good games, I don't know. But considering 3 of those complaints aren't anything major, and one of those complaints might not even be true, then I don't think it's enough to drag it down to 7. But considering they managed to get Mark Hamill back once again to voice Joker for some post-death scenes (IGN confirmed this in their review btw) despite Hamill himself saying he wouldn't return to voice Joker unless the script was as good as Arkham City, then I doubt the dialogue was ham fisted, and apart from Batmobile puzzles which can be annoying, other reviewers seem fine with the Batmobile. All I can do is go off from what other reviewers has said, what I know from playing the other games, and what I know Gamespot has done in the past. Maybe he's got a point, maybe he doesn't.
#Batman arkham knight update keeps validating full#
But until then, I'm going off what Gamespot has done in the past and what other reviewers are saying about the game which both make me feel that these could end up being nitpicks rather than full on complaints, Especially when other reviews have commented that the batmobile/tank feels out of place and can be a little annoying, but enough has been done to make it at least fun to use. I don't know, and none of us know until Tuesday.

The dialogue could be ham fisted, or might not. Stuff like massive glitches, terrible controls and the like would be enough to drag a game down big time, yet games like Witcher 3 got away with a 10 despite it's issues, but things like meh bosses and the like, again are a flaw, but a big enough flaw to drag entire points off a game? I doubt it.īecause we don't actually know if these are ''legitimate complaints'' until then. These reviewers have a responsibility to try look at the very big main flaws of a game and adjust their score accordingly. I'm thinking about how it's going to effect people who aren't sure about the game and has decided to look for reviews to see if it's good, or decent or when it should be gotten or whatever. I don't care what he says because I'll still play it but I'm not thinking about what I think of it and if It's going to affect me. It all just seems a little fishy to me, it feels like he's making these flaws seem much larger than they really are.

There's also as I've said that Gamespot are known for exaggerating points to make the game seem worse, as is the case with inFamous 2 and Skyward Sword, as well as the fact that every other reviewer has given it between 9 and 10. Yes, which I wouldn't mind as much, but the one fact that seems to make them a little less reliable is the fact he gave Witcher 3 a 10/10 (It is the same reviewer btw, I have checked), despite Witcher 3 being cluttered with exploits and glitches, and yet that didn't bring the score down, but boss battles do? I'm still really looking forward to the game but this is fucking ridiculous. They could at least do the people who brought it that much. Why the hell did they send this information out so late? I really want to know what the cause of this was. I was really looking forward to having that batmobile replica as the car looks amazing. Though, that really doesn't stop the hurt. The only thing that's keeping me cool right now is the fact that they seem to be giving discounts off the game to those who pre-ordered to try and compensate. Anyone who pre-ordered this literally got fucked over. I don't even think I have the chance of getting the Batman statue edition because those have been sold out for months too. Having paid off the damn thing, getting this call a week before release is damn near heartbreaking. I knew something bad had to happen to offset all the good the game has been doing.Īpparently every pre-order for the Batmobile Edition is being canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances"
