what do you think of the arkham knight
>>81600308
The game or the character? I enjoyed the game. I had more fun with the other games in the series, but it was still solid. The character is alright, but even better if you read the Arkham Knight: Genesis prequel comics.
>>81600360
the character
>>81600397
Got it.
>>81600397
I'm fucking mad that I was one of the people that said that it wouldn't be Jason Todd since Rocksteady said he wouldn't be, and I wanted to believe. Then it turns out it was just fucking Jason.
I liked him.
I'd like to see him added to the comics outside the arkham verse personally.
>>81600468
it'd be pretty neat if it wasThalia
>>81600482
Lucky for you anon, he already did. He's called the Red Hood.
>>81600308
This suit is much cooler than RH
>>81600468
They never said it wasn't going to be him. Literally never.
They said he was a brand new character, which he was.
Stay mad.
>>81600308
Pretty shit game.
Rocksteady bought into their own hype and delivered a game that fucked up on almost every single level.
>>81600506
>>81600506
Arkham Knight is lot more villainous than Red Hood. Even was responsible for killing some innocents.
>>81600526
>brand new character
>is literally just Red Hood with the pointy batman ears
>brand new character
>>81600771
Brand new character as in Monster Ock brand new.
>>81600504
This. All signs pointing one way and then lol twist which would actually make sense
>had the training, resources and motive to actually do everything
Make the final battle 1v1 sword fight that ends in actual sex
>>81600308
I really wish that Arkham Knight Genesis was the official Jason origin story, so much better than the magic ninja bullshit Todd has now.
It would also actually give him a specialization to distinguish him from the other Robins. Dick being a spy, Tim being a detective and Jason being a military specialist would be such an improvement over "the friendly one, the smart one, the angry one".
>>81600308
>>81600397
He's just Red Hood with a different hat.
Nothing particularly special there.
>>81600468
>>81600771
How long some of you is going to bitch and moan about this?
Seriously, get the freaking over it.
>>81600308
Great and I absolutely love his design.
>>81600567
So was Red Hood originally.
The only difference was the adoption of a Batman-like identity first rather then second.
>>81601389
>I really wish that Arkham Knight Genesis was the official Jason origin story,
Absolutely not, it makes Bruce into such a fucking idiot.
>>81601389
Isn't that way it is in the comics? Dick is now a Super Spy, Tim is the Detective, and Todd is the guy who blows up everything. Damien is Bruce 2.0.
>>81600952
While I love your reference, its not really the same.
Monster Ock is clearly a combination of two characters that is a surprise in the end and not a mystery that unfolds. Yes he was brand new for the game, and it has been his only appearance, but thats really it for similarities. Neversoft didnt hype or advertize Monster Ock as something brand new, and when people went.. Wait... Thats just Doc Ock with a symbiote! They go NUH NO LOL HES NEW. Thats the Arkham Knight.
>>81600308
He looks like Michael Bay's Optimus Prime.
>>81601541
Yeah, it only works with Dick, and only in his own book (maybe gis Midnighter appearance as well). Whenever the three are brought together, they get dumbed down to one trait. Jason is a magical shoujo ninja in his own book and the less is said about poor Tim the better.
>>81601520
And Jason's current origin story doesn't? The whole "he was Joker's project from the start and Joker's the one who pushed him towards Bats"?
>>81601851
And you believe what the joker said?
>>81600397
Lame as fuck and a painfully obvious reveal, typical for the writing of the Arkham games.
>>81600397
Cool design, was pretty menacing too and had some good moments throughout the game. He was great up until his identity got revealed and he just started whining, completely throwing away his "badass" persona and then just disappearing.
I really loved his team-up with Deathstroke. They work well together.
>>81600308
WB: We're making a new Arkham game! This time there'll be this new character, who's a DARK reflection of Batman! He's sooo mysterious! WHO IS THE ARKHAM KNIGHT??
Literally Everyone: It's Jason Todd isn't it.
WB: ... no. Shut up it- your mom is Jason Todd.
>>81602365
where is this from
>>81602470
Arkham Knight Genesis #5
>>81600308
It's hard for me to hate it because it rips off my favorite DCAU film.
>>81601447
>OP asks for opinions
>they give opinions
>stop moaning get over it guise omg
Personally I don't even mind they lied or bent the truth about it but just shut your piehole desu you fruitbowl
>>81600308
Why does he look like Optimus Prime?
>>81602365
>>81602493
Am I remembering wrong because I thought Scarecrow recruited Deathstroke and he had little to do with the Knight?
>>81602597
Sorry, I'm a PC gamer, so I've only read the comics and Deathstroke works with Jason in them. In fact he's the one who got Jason out of Arkham in the first place - for a fee, of course.
>>81602597
Nah Jason hired him as a backup incase he wad taken down.
I liked it.
That being said, the reveal should have happened earilier in the game to give Jason more time to develop
>>81600397
They should've just made him Red Hood. Sure, the twist is gone, but come on. Everyone guessed it was Todd. And it was blatant too as soon as flashbacks started rolling.
>>81600360
the genesis comics are really good i like the idea of the months of psychological manipulation better then actually dying and being angry that the joker is still alive
>>81600468
Arkham Origins: "The Joker won't be the main focus this time, Black Mask and the Assassin plot is the main focus." Joker was actually Black Mask and the main villain.
Arkham Knight: "The Joker is totally dead this time guys, we're going to focus more on Arkham Knight and Scarecrow." Joker hallucination is the main boss.
I haven't been happy with the Arkham games since City.
>>81607293
Fuck you Joker in Knight was one of the best things
>>81607653
Joker was never bad in any of his appearances. It's just fucking aggravating to have him hog the spotlight with every damn game.
>>81602128
It was but, it fit thematically with the ideas of terrible things happening to Bruce's allies and friends. Who better to illustrate this than Batman's "greatest failure?"
>>81602597
Nope! Arkham Knight sought him out and gave Slade a glowing recommendation to Scarecrow.
>>81605944
Same here.
>>81600308
why does he look like he was designed by michael bay
>>81600308
press x to jason.
I hated his boss fights.
>>81602568
>>81601734
He looks like a teenage Optimus Prime.
>>81600308
Pretty lame and predictable twist. "HEY LOOK AT ALL THESE FLASHBACKS ABOUT SOME RANDOM ROBIN! GEE I WONDER WHO THIS MYSTERIOUS ARKHAM KNIGHT FELLOW CAN BE!"
The game was disappointingly average. The good parts were stuff that existed in previous Arkham games, but the good stuff was also diluted by godawful Batmobile segments, and Ubisoft-style open world bloat. And I can't even get blame them for the Batmobile. They introduced a new mechanic and integrated into the gameplay. They took risks. It just handled like shit, and detracted from what was good about the previous games
>>81600308
He stinks and I don't like him.
Make him less whiny and more assertive.
>>81600308
He was okay, and his design both as AK and Red Hood looked cool. Surprisingly less preachy than his Under The Red Hood cartoon counterpart and more bat-shit insane. I kinda like how he was a mix of Joker-Tim from Batman Beyond and Jason Todd in general.
Game was underwhelming though and personallyI'm guilty of enjoying Arkham Origins more.I guess helps that my game never actually glitched out.
I'd love to play it but they STILL haven't fixed the PC version
>>81610234
I was more pissed they had the BRILLIANT idea of turning Deathstroke into a tank battle.
>>81600308
Was there ever a question that he wasn't Jason Todd?
Even when the studio kept saying "no, he's not Jason, is a totally new character we wrote for the game" I just kept recalling how years before, Bungie said they were "working on a totally new game, totally not Halo 3, guise!" then went on a few months later to reveal Halo 3.
