Got it pre-ordered but I really should finish the Witcher first. It sounds fantastic though. Asylum and City were two of my favourite and most replayed games of last gen.

So, the story is getting dumped on? NAH, MAN. Had high hopes from that!
Guess Origins will remain the best Batman story.

Why did you leave out the rest?
It says: Monotonous encounters and mediocre boss fights hurt the second half

Perfect scores are such a joke. I don't think I've ever played a perfect game.
Anyway, glad to see the high scores
Sigh....why do people have trouble understanding this? 10/10 does not mean perfect..it means the pinnacle of it's genre an instant classic, a can't miss game. The 10 point system is there to use , 10 is valid.

Got it for free for my 970, looks great. Can't wait. Though I still need to finish the Witcher.
Yeah, the Batmobile is something I can tell they felt they needed to do, but after making traversal fun with gliding in Arkham City I've wondered just how useful it would be in the actual game unless they force you to interact with it.

The previews that came out last month were a bit harsh and had me expecting more 7's. They were harsh on the gameplay being so different to AA and most seemed to dislike the batmobile.
It's still weird. I need to read the full review text now.

Didnt realise it was Van Ord, maybe I'll wait a couple of weeks and finish Witcher 3 first then see what the consensus is on here about the game.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
This was what I was worried about, after Origins I realised how much better the Story was and could be then Rocksteadys games, when I heard RS was making the new I didn't think anything of it and thought it'll be just as good if not better then Origin's, sadly it seems the other team are the better story tellers and RockSteady are the better programmers.

Well fuck I just got witcher 3 but I have to get this still. Looks to damn good.
Are other reviews echoing this? Haven't had a chance to really read them all.

I hope this is the year where we finally decide, as a collective human race, that the Batmobile was never good.

Just found out riddler trophies are back in one of those reviews. Yay, had so much fun getting those in the last 2 games.

Ever since they announced the Batmobile, I knew it'd feel tacked on. I hate being forced to use a gameplay element that's basically a gimmick, and I hope I don't have to use it too much.
Asylum was still the best game in the series, but I'm super happy this has good reviews and judging by the DF analysis it's also got the performance to boot.

Man these scores....HYPE
The latter doesn't surprise me but the former does. Was hoping they'd nail the story here.

Always figured the Batmobile would end up being the weakest link, quality-wise.
Probably meant the Batmobile encounters.

Thanks for posting our review. Just for what it's worth, it's the easiest 10 I've ever given.
Sublime game.
Damn, that sounds great. As long as they don't pull a "lol,
Joker is alive and he's the Arkham Knight

First I'm hearing of any negative expectations towards the Batmobile. I'm not convinced it'll be that bad, but the combat and predator maps have always been my jam in the Arkham games anyway, so I doubt it'll bother me too much.

The story and batmobile sections should have been two of the most important parts of the game, considering how much they hyped them.
I actually want to try out the bat mobile. I can have fun just driving around

There are less than City had but are said to be harder to get. so more of a challenge which is good they were mostly easy to get.

Story wasn't the reason I loved the Arkham games. It was the characters and the gameplay. I don't even remember the story from the first two games. I thought the first one was just the Joker fucking with me for 15 hours and the second, yeah I have no idea.
Need to finish Origins if the Story is as good as people are saying it is
