Gamespot staff. I think that in future you should only give AAA games a seven or an eight... then hopefully people will stop whining that the game they havent played yet got a lower/higher score than they were hoping it would get
@DinoFarmBlake I cant help but feel that you are unfairly aiming a lot of pent up frustration at the Batman franchise.
Although Arkham A and Arkham C do share some similarities with other AAA titles, the game design and mechanics clearly had a lot of thought put into them. I have not played another game that implemented its combat mechanic so well (save from the Witcher 2 perhaps). whilst it is possible to just mash attack and eventually win, to really master it you have to understand the timing and rhythm of the system as well as the combat options available to you. The ability to switch off the attack warnings and speed up your enemies in the second playthough made learning these mechanics essential.
I would also argue that the batman games are not games that require grindimg. The games are paced in such a manner that you earn enough 'xp' to access most of your abilities by the time you reach the latter part of the game. You are rarely put in a position where you find yourself wishing you were a higher level because the enemies are too tough. Any upgrades that are required for you to progress through the game are given as a part of the the games story progression.
There are a lot more cynical games out there, but the fact that there hasn't been a lot of innovation in this game is actually an encouragement for myself as Rocksteady made some very good design decisions with the first two games... and to try to undo all that they'd done would be gaming suicide. ...If it aint broke...
@RockySquirrel yeah! do you reckon there'll be a limit on how many refunds you can claim? ive got a 6pack of red bull, an adult nappy and my copy of saints row on pre-order... helloo free gaming!
@kprice123 @Pyromk1 my issue with that is that I. Ay want to play it on pc. I see your point, but that's like complaining there isn't a way to play my playstation games on my xbox pad, so I go out and buy an xbox despite my having a perfectly good playstation. I get what you're saying but I honestly think most pc gamers want to play it on pc as its their platform of choice, not just because they like the controlscheme
@echolimaromeo @CP2077 majority of PC gamers are adults you *insert generic insult aimed at troll age/race/incomebracket/whatever* *await trolls comeback about spelling or my sexual orientation*
