QFT. I don't know how anybody thought that Garrisons were a good idea and would be "fun".WoW Garrisons are worse.

Worse than Roach? I don't like that horse lol.
Is this a long way of saying 'git gud'? For a batman game? Love it.Mechanics that take a bit of practise and skill != worst mechanic ever. Jeez, no wonder game devs make games super easy.
I had more fun in the Batmobile than I ever did with horse riding or the combat in Witcher.

I'm not finished with the game, but I don't mind it at all as a puzzle solving thing. What I don't like is how much it gets used for combat - it really didn't need to ever be used for that, I find the whole transforming battle tank to be simultaneously silly looking and un-batman like. Not that it's against his moral code, just it doesn't feel overly batmanish.
The horse in Witcher 3 had some annoying moments.
I haven't played much of Batman so I can't really comment on that.
I'm split on it. I loved using it and actually found it more fun than gliding around empty rooftops, but its use for puzzles, etc was ridiculous. Literally too much of a good thing.
GoW 2? I guess 7 years ago is recent memory.
So much skill involved in the drone combat man. Sometimes you gotta point, then shoot. Sometimes you gotta move the tank slightly. Phew. Don't know how people keep up.
If this mechanic is what you consider needing practice and skill, you ain't got room to lecture people about games being made super easy.

I feel like it woulda been awesome if used ONCE as a cool surprise.
Like, "oh shit, where the fuck did all these drone tanks come from!?", and then it reveals the transformation, and you use it once or twice ever to fight a small group of drone tanks.
But by overusing it, it did kinda get lame.
I absolutely adore the Batmobile and think it's integrated into the game fantastically. I love roaring through the city, using it to propel myself into the air and then calling it back and landing in it. Or taking out the goons surrounding a Riddler informant with the cannon and then jumping out to instantly interrogate the informant.
The way it seamlessly appears from just offscreen at a moments notice when called. The whole thing is just amazingly well implemented.
It also gave the Riddler puzzles a huge shot in the arm.
A couple of tank combat sections aren't well designed but, overall, I think it's a wonderful addition to the core gameplay in the Arkham series.
I loathe the Batmobile. I hate every time it's forced onto to, I hate that they replaced boss battles with boring ass defeat the same drones for the 789,945th time. I hate the controls for it, as someone else put it on another board, it's a fucking shopping cart on a sheet of ice. For something new they force the player to use it way too damn much. Everything I go to there's some bullshit reason I have to get the Batmobile there with it.
Fuck the Batmobile.
Right now at this point Origins and City are the better games for me all because of the fucking batmobile.
I do like those parts of batmobile the video game, overall driving around, flying out of it and gliding through the skies, using it to complete some of the non-race riddler puzzles, bringing it around to clear out an area.
My main issue is every two seconds "I'm sending 20 tanks at you, sit in a spot and shoot them" "go pull this switch so the car can come through this area", etc.
Batmobile = Awesome
PuzzleMobile = Good
TankMobile = Ok to Bad.
Well, one of the ongoing problems is how insanely prepared Batman is for everything, like Alan Moore prep time level of toys that Batman has. Oh, your high performance automobile also just happens to have a transforming battle mode with 60mm cannon that was not worth mentioning until this time? That's quite a surprise. Would have been better to just have to take a trip to the bat-shed to install some missiles for a single confrontation, maybe strap some weapons onto the Bat-wing to do a bombing run after you take out some AA defences or what not.
I think the people that don't like the Batmobile in Arkham Knight just aren't good at using it.
The Batmobile is awesome and feels great. Default battle mode controls feel good too. Nothing like blasting some enemies and get blind sided by the powerful scanning vehicles...release battle mode and skid off around the block...and end up behind said enemy and blow them to pieces....feels so damn good.
