Gotham Knights

"Its complicated"

oooooooffffffff.
 
He was talking about how the combat felt, and he was "its complicated", which from noted shill IGN, is rough. The full video even mentions concern about the combat begin reptitive.
Definitely not an encouraging note. Sad if this really is as rough as it feels like it might be.
 
I've seen a few people say that now, but from the sounds of it, it's mostly because the demo had journos jumping around between very different ability builds, without the time get familiar with all the different skills.

What it sounds like is, you shouldn't go in expecting Arkham Asylum style combat. It's more of a combo based beat em up, where the special abilities lend the characters wildly different builds.

The good news I took away from it is, apparently co-op is very fun and the story and characters is more engrossing than first thought.
 
I’m looking forward to the 21st because I get to see Black Adam in IMAX at 10:00 am and drive to GameStop and pick Gotham Knights up and head home and play it. Requested that day off from work for what I’m calling a personal DC day.
 
So apparently the art book for this game shipped out earlier than expected and there are some massive spoilers

Apparently Bruce is brought back to life by Talia through the Lazarus Pit and he’s one of the final bosses

Awhile back I actually predicted something similar. Figure Bruce was still alive but under control of the Court of Owls

Close enough to what I predicted.
 
A little less then 2 weeks to go. Has there been any news about its reviews date? I am very iffy on this game a big reason being the fact they made the major mistake of tossing away the arkham combat system. I have not heard anything about its review embargo date.

At this point, the release date isn't changing. Unless there is something catastrophically wrong.

lol my bad I meant to say reviews the review embargo going to go back and fix that lol
 
I think these are the suits in the base game.



Yeah, the Knightwatch suits are Tim and Dick's best suits.
 
I completely forgot that this game is days away from release. I'm going to wait to see what the reviews say but even if they're good I can't see myself getting this anytime before Christmas at the earliest.
 
Its interesting. This is the first AAA game that I am interested in after I got a laptop that can actually play next gen games.
 
Kind of ****ty that they are waiting a month to add 4 player co-op.
 
I mean, it is totally a GAAS. Just more in a Monster Hunter way than Avengers. Its clear there will be post game content. And how they described the villain arcs, easy to add more to the post game.
 
Obviously should have been there at launch, but that said, the thought of this being coop seems obvious but hadn’t crossed my mind. Will definitely wait to play with buddies then and this increases my excitement for the game.

To clarify, there IS 2 player story co-op at launch, this is in relation to seperate 4 player co-op mode that sounds a bit like Horde mode with objectives. I'm guessing this addition is maybe a reason there was a delay to begin with.

A lot of the time, features liker this can be added as a deal sweetener for the publisher, when Devs request more time to finish. Publishers don't like delaying games, but if they think they'll be able to get more money out of a NEW feature, all of a sudden delays dont look so bad haha

Oh right, thanks for clarifying. A shame no 4 player co-op option for the campaign but hadn’t even thought about the possibility before anyway. Even 2 player is a nice bonus for replay value.
