Haha, love how they padded that list by making every single item a bulletpoint.
That feel of thirty bucks.

I still cant believe Catwoman is 100% functional in campaign.
She can climb buildings, use her whip to grapple, fights thugs AND the thugs comment ("Catwoman's here!" "Who let Catwoman in here?!") when she fights them. The only thing she can't do is use the Batmobile.

I'll re-buy it, in a Steam sale a couple of years from now when the game and all the DLC is all included in the GOTY edition for £5.

I'm just going to get the GOTY edition when it rolls around in March or February. Should be pretty packed for a decent price.
Was $30 if you preordered.
Rocksteady knew how badly people wanted free roam in City with other characters, and not only did they not include it in Knight they took away character select in challenges. At least we got that back but man are they out of touch with the fan base in some respects.
I think it's just this game.

Probably smart if they want to charge $35 for it.

If the content was created after the actually release I would hope that they saw the criticism with the heavy batmobile battles and addressed it. But who knows, this could of also been started towards the end of the games production.

No Knightfall and Dark Knight Returns were.
Jesus. That mod is more appealing to me than any of the DLC released so far, and probably to come. The only thing they have slated that would possibly even interest me is the 'expansion'. They legitimately need to add some bossfights to the campaign, and I'm hoping that's what they're working on. After that, release freeroam for every playable character.
This is one of the worst season passes ever. I paid $18 for it and feel ripped off.

and co-op
All these AR challenges came included with the previous games, right?
But did you know it was getting this much more content?

Can a game with a terrible story really be called great, I just found it ok? The story in a vacuum is just ok I guess if we compare it to actual Batman stories it's downright terrible, worse than Hush or TDK:R.

December lookin' good, fam.
Other than that, I feel ripped off. The Season Pass was really, really not worth it all things considered.
A copy and pasted paper can't be any worse than the original version.

How was it worse than TDK:R? It WAS TDK:R.
- Bruce is older, a little beaten down from events that occurred beforehand.
- Someone loosely involved in his past suddenly arises as a relevant threat and is the main villain but unbeknownst to the audience until the final chapter, even though everyone called it was them way before their true identity was revealed.
- The "big villian" was really just a pawn.
- Bruce overcomes his morality and inner demon struggle and becomes the hero Gotham needs and stops the villian at any cost.
- Bruce fakes his own death to live away from the Batman legend since everyone in Gotham basically knows that he's Batman.

And I loved the story of both so, fuck me right?

They might be talking about the gameplay. The entire Arkham series has had questionable-to-terrible stories, so it's understandable for someone to care more about the gameplay in this instance.

So AR missions and skins, pretty much. Glad I didn't jump on this, even though I really enjoyed the base game.
Batman: The Cult, too.
Yeah, super dick move

The December stuff sounds pretty nice. If they're meaty missions, I'd be okay with the $30 price tag. I wish they'd add an update to use the other characters while free roaming. Just do it, WB.
Can I cruise the streets of Gotham in the Tumbler with the TDK skin while having Molossus playing?

Yeah, if nothing else, the GoTY edition will definitely give you bang for your buck. Arkham City's GoTY Edition had fantastic value for the price offered.
Hopefully. We'll see, I guess.
Did't Rocksteady originally say that there would be a new gadget or two for SoI? I wonder if that's still on the table.
Once you clear out the drones, you can use DLC batmobile skins. They can't transform into any kind of tank mode or use any tank mode abilities because WB is too lazy to create that animation and design, so you'll have to make do with the singular form without any means of firing a weapon.

Only seven dollars per mission! What a bargain!
I might be the only person alive thats disappointed that there aren't MORE skins.
Are you factoring in already released content into this? Its definitely less than seven.

Traded this in awhile ago...probably pick up a GOTY edition on the cheap a few years down the line to check out this extra stuff.

Knight is one of those games where skins are way too overdone, as someone who played through the game a few times fully for speedruns it's so boring compared to asylum and city, having that many skins to use in the story stuff is borderline dumb and only there because they are most likely the most straight forward thing to make to fill a chart.
Batgirl was alright (and I speedran that too) but it has some interesting bugs which will never be fixed.
harley quinn was ok but super short and pretty much just a few inside rooms strung together, a shame that harley had more indoor combat and excitement then the bloody batman himself in the main game which was nothing but tank combat and outside gliding with a few story visits to the GCPD.

Sounds like PR talk. They just don't want to optimize the entire map for each character. God forbid they'd spend anymore money for gameplay features: for thing first we need more Arkham Insider videos and more screen time for two of the most ANNOYING PR agents of all time.
Hopefully the modders will get the Tumbler and all other Batmobile versions to work in the main game.
A Matter of Family was clearly content cut up from Origins sequel.
All the episodes made by Rocksteady are three challenge maps put together with glue.
A Matter of Family had all the distinctive features of Origins:
- glitchy as fuck.
- story is good.
- character design is SUPERIOR.
- enemy types look sick, as if they were straight out of Origins multiplayer. The "motorhead" thugs were one of the biggest letdown in Knight.
- COLORFUL.
- real time cut-scenes mixed with pre-rendered, BLEARGH!
Season of Infamy is probably going to be awesome content going for a 19'90 price-tag.
Anyway. I refuse to believe this entire season pass fiasco was Rockesteady's idea.

That's such a load of bullshit. There's already a mod on the bug-riddled PC version that does 90% of the job. I'm sure the developers of the game could pull something off significantly better in half the time than the modder.
I don't think they'd have to do anything other than implement existing character-specific animations into free-roam traversal. That player made mod already does 99% of what people would want out of free roam.
I don't think season passes are ever a dev's idea. Publishers push this kind of shit.
I remember back when the SP price was first announced at $40. Everyone was in an uproar. A few days later they tried to quell the noise by revealing the Batgirl story DLC.
There was no way they would have dared to do that with revealing that the SP included a bunch of skins and challenges.
Months after I beat a game I don't give two shits about skins, not that I even care much about them in the first place. Most of them look crap anyway.
Racetracks, AR challenges, are throwaway to me. I have a hard time caring about, let alone putting money down for them if they weren't in some sort of package like a SP.
More story is what we all want, of the same quality (or better) as the retail game. $40 2/3 the price of a retail game, so it should be a few solid hours of quality, not these 15 minute skits.
We need to let them know to shift the content in Season Passes away from costumes which are cosmetic and more towards substantial gameplay with narrative. Especially in a single-player game like this (unlike the other WB published game, MKX which is MP where skins have more use)

It wouldn't be a matter of money, content wise it probably would be about the same just one big chunk rather than splitting it out into smaller bits of DLC.
