Released today .. what are your thoughts?

They have dropped the X1 and PS4 and are only focusing on current gen systems and PC

This looked so dull and pathetically boring. The open world will be exactly like asscreed with one million busy work copy pasted markers, and that's your side content🤦‍♂️Elden Ring is so far ahead of open world games like these its kinda scary.

Looks... ...like a Batman/Bat-family game. For better and for worse.

Eh. Looks decent enough that I think I will play it at some stage, but not super hyped for it or anything.

Looks pretty good. Not really a big DC fan though so many of the characters and stuff don’t interest me a whole lot. Will keep an eye on this game though and see how it turns out.

Good to see that they are trying something new; same with that Suicide Squad game done by Rocksteady. But it looks pretty boring to me and I just don't care about these sidekicks or the Suicide Squad. Just give me more Batman.

I play video games to talk to stangers, actually. Its very disappointing to have incredible level design, best bosses in the industry, amazing art direction, tons and tons of things to try, etc. All of this is filler, i just wanted to talk to strangers in my video game. Killing in games is unimaginative.

With different move sets, scaling, specials/ashes of war. But this doesn't count, cuz you're still attacking enemies, which means its very repetitive. Its only a bad story to those who are used to CoD like story where they regurgitate you the narrative once every five minute😊You will get this in Gotham Knights, so please be excited.

That's Batmans combat in general. Always been shallow. It's interested in the visual presented and flow over depth.

Videos on Youtube, but basically you can play these style of games tapping a button without even looking at the screen.

Being hardcore, play the DMC. (the only good one)

In other words, you can use your feet to play the game, and that's not a joke, but the actual reality how these games play out.

@hardwenzen: Yea.

Not sure if Batman deserves credit for "button awesome" or Arseholes Creed as that was the same shit, only comparatively clunky.

Been bored with the Batman Arkham gameplay since City. They're too similar for my taste, and this looks too similar as well. Easy pass.

Asylum was cool. The rest are passable. Haven't played Origins, which I remember @uninspiredcup liked, but meh. Cool christmas setting aside, same shit.

The good:

. The did a good job at making it feel like a single player game while adding multiplayer.

. Combat looks solid

. Nailed the atmosphere

. Graphics are nice

The bad:

. No reason to have this as a seperate universe from the Arkham universe

. Red hoods non leathal rounds and spirit jump don't fit the character.

Lol you said all that dumb shit to sound like an elitest and then picked one of the worst Devil may cry's to support your argument. DMC was literally made easier to bring in a wider audience. Devil may cry 4 has better combat and Devil may cry 5 was by far the best in the series.

Devil May Cry 5 is basically just DmC with worse character designs.

DmC > Devil May Cry 2 > Devil Mays Crys > Bayonetta

😆 Worse characters designs! That's funny

And no you can't do anything close to this in DMC as the combat system simply doesn't allow it.

The character designs are awful and the stat-based combat will be poor. Tired of this look. Skintight costumes or get the **** out. When did Batgirl start using a nightstick? Why would I want her to? We already have Nightwing using a similar weapon.

Except your not staring at anything that prompts you to hit a button. Regardless DMC is Devil may cry for noobs. Somehow you're the only one that doesn't know it. It's a fun game just simple and accessible for a more casual audience.

Actually most (adult) people agree DmC is the peak of the franchise.

It's mainly weeb virgins that like the Japanese games because "wow cool anime hero". When in reality he's just a really shit off-brand Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Doesn't even have a fucking story.

DmC has a very good story about government. Not as good as Dues Ex, but almost as good.

Uhh no virtually no one agrees according to metacritic and sales data. Emo Dante and Virgil were universally hated.

DMC story was ok but aren't you the type to bitch about focusing on narrative over gameplay? It's gameplay was built for soccer dads.

Regardless Devil may cry has a story and 5 tied it together nicely. It has virtually no inspiration from Ninja Turtles.

Nobody agrees on that ... just stop please, DmC is at the bottom of the barrel next to Yaiba, it can only dream on being one quarter as good as DMC V, NG Black and Bayonetta 2.

Ayways, my biggest concern with this game is on the variety of the missions. It's fun to fight criminals the first couple of hours, but by the 10th hour, you are just ignoring plently of those. Also and for some reason, the combat seems ... off, specially compared to the previous Arkham games, maybe is because Nightwing is Acrobatic as they said, but it doens't look all that good.

I just hope it has a solid single player experience, that the 4 characters are fun enough to try and that it has a good enough variety of things to do, then i may get it after a price cut.

I'm glad PS4 and Xbox One are being dropped for this.

The segment with Red Hood fighting a gladiator is really, really rough when all the effects come in. I don't know if I agree with their marketing team's decision to show that footage instead of one with less intense frame drops. Especially since it never specifies what system it's running on, it is very easy to assume that they were showing us the best build of the game.

It looks fun and I am interested in it just for the Court of Owls. I just really don't want this to turn into another Arkham Origins disaster.

Edit: They need to work on Dick's movement whenever he walks. He walks like a guerilla! Fix it.

I like the rocksteady game better kill the justice league with flash and superman as villains etc this one looks like the ghetto version of that one. This studio is C tier compared to rocksteady.

@hardwenzen: what ate you talking about. Belden ring is massive copy and paste. Even the bosses, they copy and paste then the next time they make a small change. The world is open but empty. No fast travel at the start, no horse and lots of bugs

Have you seen a game of this scale where everything was unique? No. Much smaller open world games are never fully unique, let alone massive ones like ER.

@silentchief: DmC had a good story, interesting characters and good combat. The hardcore crowd knocked it because Dante looked different, they were so butthurt over it they couldn't get past that (which is both hilarious and pathetic). Sucks cause I would have loved to have seen a sequel and seen where the game would have gone with the story and see how they could have evolved the combat.
