Hey guys, I just found out that UMG claimed a section of this video wherein I'm showing off a record-player that is playing a song from the Platters that mirrors a similar moment in Arkham City. As a result, they are claiming all ad-revenue for this video and seem to have placed a plethora of ads on the video. I have filed a dispute which means that YT is holding the ad revenue until the review process is complete. Once it is, the collected revenue will be given to the party that is deemed correct in the dispute (hopefully, this will be me). All of this to say, I apologize for the number of ads on the video, and the second I get control of the monetization again, I will remove all of the excess trigger-points. Thank you for understanding! Much love, Luke

Unless YT's policy has changed, I'm pretty sure it's up to the claiming party (in this case UMG) to decide if it's fair use. They usually wait until the last possible day to deny your claim against theirs, and still take all the revenue. I hope this has changed, but I'm not a KZitemr so I'm not an expert.

Arkham City: Bruce Wayne being taken into a prison city, who then gets his bat suit sent in and makes his way through the city to finally shut down the evil mastermind behind it. Arkham Knight: A mysterious figure with relations to Batman arises with an army that overruns the city, controlling the ground and skies, as well as Scarecrow who wants to destroy the city. The mysterious figure wants to kill Batman, who is revealed to be the previous Robin. After defeating him, Batman’s accomplice, Oracle, is kidnapped and Batman gives up his identity. He is saved by the now revealed Jason Todd, and defeats scarecrow. Then he pretends to die. Not very similar to me.

That opening scene where you take control of the cop makes me want a game set in Gotham where you just play as a regular policeman. The aesthetic of the diner and the rainy street is so damn good, Gotham from a normal streetview would probably be a pretty cool map to explore. Maybe you could work your way up from a beat cop to a detective and encounter more of Batman's rogues gallery as the story progresses. Something L.A. Noire-ish, only this time they actually flesh out the open world.

Batman: Arkham Knight is a beautiful mess, it aims high and is very ambitious narratively and thematically but the execution of said narrative is all over the place as it's trying to juggle way too many storylines (even for a video game) to the point where the pacing often feels rushed and many of the Arkham City set-ups are glossed over/forgotten about, and the game just wants to you to figure out the twist and no Arkham Knight is not a new character him being called AK doesn't mean his new so yeah Dini's abcense as a writer is defintely felt. Still Arkham Knight is a well-made game the graphical fedilety is incredible and the game is just breathtaking visually easily the best graphics in the Arkham games and in one of the best in the current gen, the combat is better and smoother than ever, and I love phycological struggle between Batman and Joker yes even dead, Joker takes a major plot point in an Arkham game but it feeds into Batman overall arcs, yes Batman finally has a full well-realized arc in the series and the emotinal moments are the best here (also does anyone notice there's more humor in this game compared to others it's still dark and serious but there's more humor especially with the GCPD cops and Joker's meta one liners and sequences). In conclusion I'd say it's the weakest of the series even weaker than Origins but still an impressive achievement even if it wasn't the most satisfying finale for this great series.

I actually bought the game within the first few hours of release (before it was taken off of Steam). Started it up, noticed how badly it was running, but kept playing anyway. Still enjoyed the story and new gameplay features on 20 fps. A few weeks later, after the second release date, I opened up my Steam account and to my surprise found that rocksteady had given me a free copy of every Arkham game (including the 2D blackgate game), all of them game if the year editions. And I believe they did so for everyone who bought it that early. A generous compensation and another reason I respect WB/Rocksteady. For making a great gaming series and handling the bad port situation a lot better than Ubisoft with their AC Unity blunder.

The Arkham Knight says at the beginning of the game that the drones are unmanned so that they are not afraid of Batman. Batman's strongest feature is his ability to instill fear into criminals. By having the drones be remote-controlled they are more able to persist against Batman's might.
Matthew Dawson mainly because (for me anyway) the atmosphere and storytelling was better, and it was one of the first games I’ve ever played so it holds a special place in my heart. Arkham Knight is a fantastic game tho.

To me The Arkham trilogy is a lot like the Nolan trilogy in the way it was developed and how it was recieved, hold with me for a second... Arkham Asylum/ Batman begins - great introduction to this version of the character, great atmosphere, few minor complaints in regards to the action, but overall a great package, which is appreciated by critics and fans. Arkham City / The dark knight - perfect sequel, improves on every part from the previous entry, it has a great layered story and very strong ending. And it is considered to be the best entry. Arkham Knight / The Dark knight rises- what to do, when you did it all? You go bigger. So the last part is the most epic, most visualy stunning, and it delivers the most personal and emotional story out of the three. But it has obvious flaws, which were done in pursuit of trying to improve something, which is already perfect. So in the it is viewed positively, but not as good as the previous entry. But since I am the weird one...the same way I like the Dark knight rises most from the trilogy, the same way it goes for Arkham Knight. It's not perfect, it is flawed...but I loved, how personal the story was, how vulnerable Batman was in his core and the ending was just pure perfection. It took 2 replays to really love it, but more I played it, more I loved it. Batmobil and all. But I agree with most things from this critique. It was a great watch.

There could’ve been stealth sections with it. Where it would check rooftops around the area and you could only use your detective vision for a short time before it noticed you.

Batman Arkham Knight may have some frustrating elements (making all boss fights stupid vehicle segments and too many batmobile tank sections), but as a superhero game and action game, it is one of the best on the current gen consoles. It’s so well detailed, has fantastic stealth and action combat, great story (albeit weak Knight reveal) and amazing visuals. It gets way too much flack because of its tank batmobile segments. They suck but it doesn’t detract for how great Arkham Knight is. It’s worthy of being the closer of the trilogy without a doubt.

Sometimes he wants to kill him, sometimes he doesn't... Make your DAMN mind, edgelord! Also, in the end, batman beats the joker cancer with... His will? WHAT?! These are just SOME of the plot holes I found. Do you know why the story's quality dropped so hard?

I might be the 1% of the entire gaming population that (for the most part) loved the Batmobile/tank section of the games. Sure, it was repetitive as heck but I got used to the gameplay after a while and it was fun. Is Arkham Knight a perfect game? No. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t one of the best games I’ve played that incorporated story progression and cinematic experimenting on a gaming port. Plus, I played this in early 2019 and I had no problem with the PC port. Now, if Rocksteady makes another Batman game (which I hope they do), I’d love to see good boss battles (á la Origins - the Deathstroke nods battle in Arkham Knight was disappointing) added to the story style and updated graphics of Knight. I’d also like to see actual civilians on the streets this time, and also DLC Batmobile skins that actually have all the gadgets of the default Batmobile. I’d love to use Batfleck’s Batmobile in the main game. Catwoman’s 1992 skin is desperately needed as well.

The Batmobile's not bad, it's just not as good as the combat and predator stuff and doesn't interact with them much if at all. You can set things up from stealth to gain an advantage in combat, or use your combat moves to try and recover from getting caught by an armed guard, but the Batmobile is its own separate thing, so it feels separate from the rest of the game. Would have been better if they set what they'd made of it aside, continued developing Arkham Knight without it, and used it as the foundation for a separate game. I'm not a game dev, so I don't know if that would be remotely feasible, but hey, a man can dream.

I'm a lot harder on this game since the Batmobile (while fun) takes up too much of the game, the lack of boss fights was noticeable, few villains got a proper send off, and I genuinely did not like the identity of Arkham Knight. While I love the Joker stuff, Rocksteady focused too much on it and so never bother to further develop the rest of the game. In all, the game felt very banal, like they weren't trying.

Just finished Arkham Knight for the first time yesterday. While I think the game looks great for a nearly five year old game, I would say it's a far cry from one of the best looking games this generation, let alone of all time. Also, EFF every Batmobile mission in this game. Take out the Batmobile and Arkham Knight would be one of favorite games of the generation. With the Batmobile included, Arkham Knight is my second least favorite game in the series. There is so much to love about this game, but dude. There's so much wrong mechanically, story-wise, and fun-wise (the latter obviously being subjective, but the first two totally objective) with the Batmobile.

I think they could've fleshed out the tank mechanics and made it a separate game (a pvp one maybe?) rather than shoving it in the story where it doesn't fit

Nice critique. I loved Batman Arkham Knight, especially for the Batmobile. Yes, I agree it looked like a gimmick, nevertheless I enjoyed that it was there. I agree to the flaws in the story bit. Hey, Rocksteady Studios are a game developers, not book/novel writers. I accept the drawback, but I want a game and they delivered. When playing the end stages of the game, I was getting ready for the end boss battle, but there was none! it was a physiological kinda ending, felt like a movie ending. It was different. Batman Arkham Knight holds it's motto 'Be the Batman'.

Its personally the best in the series for me because I just love how dark the story goes and how it explores the psychological themes of being a hero, along with the dangers it can bring to your loved ones. Kind of reminded me of the dark knight.

I think that Joker sings "Only you" to Batman, not Harley. I also recommend you watch "Every Easter Egg In Arckham Knight" from the youtube channel "Batman Arckham Videos" because I consider the HUGE amount of Easter Eggs as an important part of your experience if you are a hardcore Batman Fan as I believe you are.

I really enjoyed the batmobile taking more presedence as it was a bold move and gave something more, otherwise everyone would have bitched its the same old game. No the problem for sure was the story, it didn't commit, it was very convaluted. The boss fights as someone else mentioned here also lacked nuance, hence why asylum takes first place for balance all round.

A pretty cool detail in the fear toxin diner scene is if you don’t kill anyone, later in the game the cops will comment on how he didn’t kill anyone and I thought that was a neat detail. Edit: If you kill people the cops will say that “he’ll lose his badge for sure”. Also Joker sings “only you” to Batman.

Arkham Knight will forever remain as one of my favourite games. Not only is it still one of the best looking games out there, but the gameplay itself is as close as you can get to the ultimate Batman experience. Thank you for giving it a critique! If I could throw a recommendation of my own, I would love if you decided to critique the Bioshock series. Edit: I know Luke did a ‘’mini analysis” on it before, but I’d love a full scale critique. Especially because I recently completed the series.

@@yasharodiya2085 I disagree. When the new game come out, it was a batman game that caters to a warlike environment. The batmobile was appropriately used as another one of batman's gadgets, what with the grapple winch and sonars. A response to an increasingly dangerous opposition that may seem jarring to many diehard fans of the previous game. Tank battles seem to be a much more intimate combat scheme that parallels man-on-man ones. I Just think about the "tank" as "battle mode" rather, since it's another means of batman to prepare for the numerous puzzles he has to overcome, similar to his other gadgets. Even despite the inclusivity of a large amount of side missions and collectibles, i never felt annoyed becuase it was simply a very well designed game, and that those were optional for story completion anyways.
