I'm too busy enjoying a version of Arkham Knight that works on my PS4.

It's a heavily-optimized version of Unreal 3, much like MK X.I'm about to cross the 20% completion mark. I've gotta say, with all apologies to CD Projekt Red and The Witcher III, but Arkham Knight is the finest game I've played this year. Sure it's the same formula as the previous game in the series but that graphics engine (is it Unreal 4?) combined with all the little touches to detail have made this a different experience for me. I feel as though I'm closer to being Batman than ever before.
I believe Iron Galaxy is behind the PC port...
This game is boring and the Batmobile is a chore to play.
I am not feeling it at all.
+1, big time. I've gone back to Wild Hunt (wasn't done anyway).
I play a lot of racing games, so every time I pressed the left trigger - which I've been conditioned to using as the brake - I turn into a tank and smash into a wall; the config for the Batmobile is a mess.
Spring-boarding from one guy to the next in combat is even more ridiculous than in previous games, and totally takes me out of the fight as I can't help but laugh watching Batman spring back and forth 30 ft. in the span of a second.
My biggest beef, however, is the UI and mission selection system. Right out of the gate, I was stumped trying to access more of the Firefighter rescue and murder mystery missions after rescuing the first FF and surveying the first crime scene. The missions are selectable, but nothing comes up on the map. Batman also makes reference to places to check out, but these places names aren't listed on the map. The whole thing made the game grind to a halt for me as I wanted to do those missions before continuing with the story.
I know the first game in the series was small by comparison and more linear than later entries, but I really felt Asylum hit all the right notes for me. Arkham Knight feels (for me) like Rocksteady let the game get away from them in the quest for 'bigger' and 'more'.
lmao
I do not like the combat of this series, it's too loose, I dunno how to describe it but it's not tight like Ninja Gaiden or DMC. I like God of War and I do not care for the easiness of the combos, yes the games look fluid but at the cost of "automated" combat. I really like how Lords of Shadow captures the combos just right, the combat is great and in higher difficulties you make use of so much more, the game just opens more for you. I feel these new Batman games although the best we've had in a very long time, don't do what other combat oriented games do, I know it's stealth as well but why should they sacrifice the opportunity to make a legit combat engine as opposed to what they did. Every time a sequel comes out I'm in the hopes someone fixes the combat but nothing yet, it's almost as if you gotta take the good with the bad 'cause Asylum is still a very good game, I'm just very particular about the combat, it's gotta feel right and not so dumb down for any button masher to have a good time with.
