To the 3 to 5 people who will get all prissy just from reading the title, try actually listening to the video before you get all upset. I guarantee I also enjoyed the Batman Arkham series more than Gotham Knights. These are just some things I really liked that I hope some more superhero games will do in the future.
I am also one of these fanatics of cake. Whoever baked did a fantastic job. There were times I would literally stop playing the game and just stare at every angle. Damn
I do enjoy the characterization of the heroes in the game. I think Tim and Jason in particular had better characterization in Gotham Knights. In the Arkham games, Tim seemed like a composite of all the Robins and didn't act too differently from Dick. While Gotham Knights did lean to heavily into his nerdyness, I feel that version of the character is an improvement. Jason comes across as someone finding their equilibrium. Something that even the comics struggle with at times.
I agree they basically made Tim Grayson but couldn’t actually make him dick because Oracle and Jason were in the game especially with the relationship with Oracle who he sees as an older sister?
Marvel's Ultimate Alliance is one of my greatest gaming memories because of its LOCAL co-op. It was the only game that I could play with my brothers and dad. All 4 of us would pick a character and play after my dad cooked breakfast. I wish kids today could get this kind of experience. Nowadays you can't even play most games co-op unless it's a online co-op.
I really hope Montreal continues this world in some form. It gets so much crap and I get why it does but I would love for them to continue and improve and get better, and it can get AMAZING if they make the correct changes in future games. Games like Callisto and Gotham Knights I don't want to just completely die, games like this have so much potential, so I hope they keep making games in this world.
I disagree that it's deserved. I personally think Origins was the best game in the series, it had the courage to delve into more intricate personal subplots, excellently introduced minor batman characters and explored them, actually used the REAL Bane character instead of a knock off hulk, and I personally think the style and gameplay loop was just far superior.
I give GK kudos for giving us a (mostly) comic book accurate Dick Grayson. In most of the shows, cartoon series', games, they make him into a brooding emo. In the comics he is a dork. He is funny, friendly, and extroverted. Yes, he can be serious, he can be angry, and professional etc, but it's not the base line how he behaves in the comics.
I enjoyed the customization of the characters but I just wish there was more. It felt a little too basic and I was hoping for a lot more but I still enjoyed it none the less
Seriously? There were 18 suits to choose from and 15 of those you could change the colour and the accessories. That's better than any of the Arkham games
@@King_Aegon True still wish you could have made a custom character and put any color on any part of the suit and mix and match the characters costumes
@@WyaSlay I just wish we could have changed the colour and accessories of the transmog suits, because some of those unchangeable colourways we're pretty nasty
Thanks for the video, Jay. Been on the fence about getting Gotham Knights because I really want to give it a shot despite the criticism, so it's nice to see people talk about it in a positive way.
I really like GK's Gotham, particularly the district that's a neighborhood built in an old dock (I think it's the cauldron), with Paris island literally overlooking the district. It's just a fascinating bit of design to me, and one I think is really cool.
As someone who grew up with the Arkham games and has %100 completed all of them, some of them more than once, I still really enjoyed Gotham Knights. I think if Gotham Knights gets a sequel they should make the combat system more like the Arkham games, drop the gear system for a system which lets the player customize the suits with actual gameplay changes not just changing the status ailment you inflict, also keep it seperate from visual customization. And my biggest problem with Gotham Knights, the sequel should feel more hand crafted and less MMO like. More intricate interiors, more hand crafted predator sections and give all the characters their own path through the story. These characters are all very different and they should approach every situation differently, for example during the story you need to investigate something, Jason prefers going and interogating someone while Dick prefers sneaking into someones apartment and snooping around and then make the player choose what they want to do.
Honestly I don't regret buying this game it was a good game and I'm still enjoying the story The story is very fun to me The gameplay is fun It can be repetitive but once you get really good skills in the skill tree it gets interesting again not to mention there's haptic feedback added now
Would you recommend buying It? How's the story? Or bosses? I been grappling bwith buying it if not for anything just the DCU... But I want a decent time
That denial at the beginnings is, as the tropers might say, suspiciously specific. Blink the video twice if you're in danger and need a hero to rescue you.
4:20 I see your point, but the challenge comes from having limited gadgets. I know it's a cheap excuse but that's really the point of them. I enjoy them that way and I have a lot of fun. City still has my favorite Robin.
About your Jason Todd discussion, I'd say you're half right. It could've used more effort but even back in Asylum he's referenced by the Joker saying "I might even let you keep Harley you could use a new sidekick"... maybe it wasn't intentional but still kinda seems like foreshadowing.
I 100% agree about the BatFamily aspect. I hated how in Arkham Knight Bruce just kidn of regulated everyone to almost nothing while at the same time giving us the most playable batfamily members.
I think with Arkham there was Origins multiplayer yes, but there was also Batman: Arkham Underworld, a PvP strategy mobile game where player assumes the role of a criminal Kingpin, and can obtain super villains like the Riddler, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Mr, Freeze and Bane (while going against other players and Batman) Don't play much mobile games but it's one of those that I really enjoyed. Game no longer exists, but looking back, makes me wish had made a AAA version of it.
Batman impostors for the xbox 360 and PS3 was a pretty cool and unique take on a batman multiplayer game that stands on its own and it's kinda the only game that checks that box that I know of
I’m sick and tired of seeing Batman Vs Joker being the only main focus like nothing else exists. Other characters need more attention or else we’re always gonna get Batman Vs Joker on repeat.
This game is obviously not anything compared to the arkham games. but i could definitely come up with 5-10 things that are good about this game. while i have a lot of grievances, A LOT, i still enjoy this game and have some positives and it’s definitely not as bad as ppl cut it out to be.
haven't watched much of the vid yet but im glad it exists, i bought the game yesterday and im having a blast, its not arkham but its not supposed, people comparing it to avengers seems crazy because this one actually has PASSION, im not saying its perfect by any chance but its definitely fun
Him, fair and valid points and opinions, it’s good that you had things that you did enjoy about the Game and I can understand and almost agree with them. Now, I do wonder though, what you disliked about the Game? I have heard that it didn’t so well, but I don’t know the specifics, so if you could cover that, I would appreciate it.
Its hard to really compare the two. Tho they may both be bat family oriented games they aren't made by the same studios the only thing they have in common is Warner Bros Interactive but Gotham Knights isn't made by rocksteady. Gotham Knights isn't even in the Arkham Verse
I just picked up the game on ps plus extra and I have played all the arkham games before and I really don t find this game that bad the only complaint I have is that the movement is a bit cluncky
I like your opinion about the...female "design" appreciation, shall we call it, Jay? It is something I've grown to appreciate when game designers allow women to be feminine with their bodies. I think there's SOME leeway that can be had with letting women be more open about embracing their feminism as characters. Look at Catwoman from the Arkham series as a great example. Embracing gender differences in video games is a must for characters if you ask me. There are good ways to do it with out making women helpless/useless damsels.
Cool vid, I get you👍 Yeah a game more in the vein of gameplay from Arkham with Koop/Multiplayer and good visual customization + more distinct gadgets / skills for the different charakters thats what I had hoped Gotham Knights to be. Well they kinda tried in some places, some not.
Still split on whether to play this game, I'm feeling I should wait for a sale. It looks super fun in some areas and super crap in some areas. It's interesting seeing a game where you aren't playing as Batman fighting the joker.
Gothan Knights would have sold well and been regarded as a pretty good game if it wasnt a live service game. Needed to be story driven and let you play thru it with 4 different characters. Gameplay and fighting would have been so much better. Plus the streets would not have been COMPLETELY EMPTY!
Okay first I love the pic you have for your video on this Jay 😏👍. Second I know people give Gotham Knight (the videogame) a hard time, but I definitely enjoy the idea and premise of what they were trying to do with the bat-family where you can control all for them. Whether it's multiplayer or single and having the court of owls as the main antagonist for the game and then eventually switching to the League of Shadows was also very good interesting plot twist to this story. The best paring that I've always done for this video game was the Batgirl and Red hood. Even like during some of the cutscenes when you play as Barbara Gordon or Jason Todd you can tell like they care for each other, and I know they tried to promote Nightwing as the head leader for the Gotham Knights but it's clearly Barbara and I like it how Jason Todd kind of also guides Barbara hand and leading the team in the process. Plus you have to understand that this is also dumb by Wonder Brothers Montreal the very same group that made Batman Arkham Origins which I still hope that they do a remake to it or a true sequel someday for the current-gen consoles.
I agree. And while I do think some of these games have more heart, it reminds me a little bit of the fun you can have with something like LEGO Star Wars or Lego Batman etc. I just think it's too bad that you pretty much have to have two TVs two copies of the game and two consoles in order to be able to play the multiplayer, because if I was a little kid playing this game I would be blown away, but as a little kid my family couldn't afford multiple copies of everything so I feel like there's a lot of younger people who are going to miss out on potentially a lot of fun with the multiplayer. I'm not sure how you do it, but I think that you could have done tethered split screen as well as the current online component. It would have been more development though, and I know that this game already had some troubles in development.
One thing I greatly enjoyed was this version of Harley Quinn. Not only did she seem totally capable of living on without being on the Jokers arm; hatching her own schemes and having her own plans, but she also had a fantastic costume, and having the woman behind FLCL's Haruko was a stroke of genius.
But the thing is, her original character wasn’t supposed to be able to live without Joker. She’s supposed to be completely reliant on Joker for her everything. So it works so much better with such an attached Harley to lose her Joker.
I've always loved the idea of GK and I think comparing the Arkham series to it is strange. the two are so different that it's like comparing apples to oranges. I had fun with both and that's all i care about
People compare all superhero games and what they like or don't like about them. At the end of the day they're both video games and some like Origins and GK are even from the same developer.
But again, it's hard to "not comparing" these games. It's just unfortunate that Gotham Knight will always live under the shadow of Arkham series. From the most basic fundamental game, the Arkham series are just way too superior. Whether you like the newer feature such as costum swapping, or the multiplayer mode from Gotham Knight, its up to you. It's just sad that it basic gameplay just not as great as Arkham series. Its like comparing a finest quality apple to regular orange. Sadly, I just didn't have time to eat both
I do like that we got to play as the Bat Family and the game focused on them and gave us a new concept. However, the game just was not for me as I felt the story was not great, the bosses were a pain the butt and the open world was just not that fun. So I do think the Arkham games many things better.
I think for me one of the biggest negatives was villain motivation. Harley Quinn comes off as just crazy to be crazy, it feels like they wanted to copy the Dark Knight but didn't have any of the message or meaning behind it for that character. Mr Freeze while being menacing is not very deep and you pretty much have to read background information on this version of him to actually care why he's doing what he's doing. I also think they should have basically forced you to play as Red Hood during the boss fight with him because the whole moment of deciding whether or not you want to let him live or die doesn't really fit for Dick Grayson or Tim Drake at all. You can make an argument that Batgirl could have a thought like that given her more impulsive nature sometimes but it really only worked super well for Jason, but I was playing that as Tim the first time playing it and it just doesn't land because of it. I also think there's a lot of moments where the game tries to be deep with its writing but it's really not. There's things I like about the game for sure and I respect people who love the game too, but for me it's one of those things where I have a fun time with it as a distraction but I wouldn't be running to it to play it on its own merits in the future. Just as a little aside, I recently started playing through Assassin's Creed 4 again, no idea if you or anyone else here is a fan of that, but it's been a bit of a stark contrast playing those two games at the same time in terms of quality.
Personally I like Gotham knights more than asylum mainly because red hood is my favorite DC character and I can free roam Gotham city as red hood and I love that
Yeah I have a big soft spot for Red Hood same with Batgirl. I was always disappointed they didn't do more in the Arkham universe with those characters. I think they could have supported full-fledged games at least the size of something like Assassin's Creed freedom cry or infamous first light, you know these single player story driven games that still have a mostly open world but are bigger than the mainline entries of the series that they are from? I really think that Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and even Robin could have all supported that kind of thing. Instead some of them get a couple hours long dlc and the rest just get like a 20 minute one kind of bummed me out.
Great video!! I totally agree about the customization and the costumes in general. I've finished my 2nd playthrough and totally enjoyed it. Also....... THE CAKE! 🤣🤣🤣😅
I haven't played Gotham Knights yet, and I'll probably wait until it's on sale or on Gamepass or something. But I honestly would love more stuff like this, crazy worlds that you can just team up with friends and explore the world with. I know there's a mod, but I'd love an official multiplayer version of something like Just Cause, lots of hectic fun. I actually didn't know the customisation was like that, I thought it was a bit like the Arkham series where it's set suits. I didn't know you could mix and match. Also..... I've definitely seen the amount of "cake" in Gotham Knights. Someone was definitely hungry when making this game.
To the 3 to 5 people who will get all prissy just from reading the title, try actually listening to the video before you get all upset. I guarantee I also enjoyed the Batman Arkham series more than Gotham Knights. These are just some things I really liked that I hope some more superhero games will do in the future.

I've always loved the idea of GK and I think comparing the Arkham series to it is strange. the two are so different that it's like comparing apples to oranges. I had fun with both and that's all i care about
People compare all superhero games and what they like or don't like about them. At the end of the day they're both video games and some like Origins and GK are even from the same developer.
But again, it's hard to "not comparing" these games. It's just unfortunate that Gotham Knight will always live under the shadow of Arkham series.
From the most basic fundamental game, the Arkham series are just way too superior. Whether you like the newer feature such as costum swapping, or the multiplayer mode from Gotham Knight, its up to you. It's just sad that it basic gameplay just not as great as Arkham series.
Its like comparing a finest quality apple to regular orange. Sadly, I just didn't have time to eat both
W Jay for being able to see the positives AND Negatives of things, and being able to enjoy something while still criticizing it.😊
I do like that we got to play as the Bat Family and the game focused on them and gave us a new concept. However, the game just was not for me as I felt the story was not great, the bosses were a pain the butt and the open world was just not that fun. So I do think the Arkham games many things better.
I think for me one of the biggest negatives was villain motivation. Harley Quinn comes off as just crazy to be crazy, it feels like they wanted to copy the Dark Knight but didn't have any of the message or meaning behind it for that character. Mr Freeze while being menacing is not very deep and you pretty much have to read background information on this version of him to actually care why he's doing what he's doing. I also think they should have basically forced you to play as Red Hood during the boss fight with him because the whole moment of deciding whether or not you want to let him live or die doesn't really fit for Dick Grayson or Tim Drake at all. You can make an argument that Batgirl could have a thought like that given her more impulsive nature sometimes but it really only worked super well for Jason, but I was playing that as Tim the first time playing it and it just doesn't land because of it. I also think there's a lot of moments where the game tries to be deep with its writing but it's really not. There's things I like about the game for sure and I respect people who love the game too, but for me it's one of those things where I have a fun time with it as a distraction but I wouldn't be running to it to play it on its own merits in the future. Just as a little aside, I recently started playing through Assassin's Creed 4 again, no idea if you or anyone else here is a fan of that, but it's been a bit of a stark contrast playing those two games at the same time in terms of quality.
@@DegenerateJay Assassin's Creed Unity had co-op. Almost an unfair comparison
#1: Absolutely Nothing
I think you can take Gotham Knights down and discount it without ignoring any positives it does. That just comes off like being a fanboy.
Lemme get that thumbnail…
The thumbnail 💀
Ayo the thumbnail
Personally I like Gotham knights more than asylum mainly because red hood is my favorite DC character and I can free roam Gotham city as red hood and I love that
Yeah I have a big soft spot for Red Hood same with Batgirl. I was always disappointed they didn't do more in the Arkham universe with those characters. I think they could have supported full-fledged games at least the size of something like Assassin's Creed freedom cry or infamous first light, you know these single player story driven games that still have a mostly open world but are bigger than the mainline entries of the series that they are from? I really think that Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and even Robin could have all supported that kind of thing. Instead some of them get a couple hours long dlc and the rest just get like a 20 minute one kind of bummed me out.
I agree like why can’t the Arkham episodes be as long as the DLC’s from new Vegas and they are 5 dollars for 5 hours of content
Great video!! I totally agree about the customization and the costumes in general.
I've finished my 2nd playthrough and totally enjoyed it.
Also....... THE CAKE! 🤣🤣🤣😅
Thumbnail jump scared me damn
Thumbnail jump started me.
Honestly, I'm just surprised that you managed to make a 15 minute video.
yoooooo Batgirl is caked up on a Monday night

I haven't played Gotham Knights yet, and I'll probably wait until it's on sale or on Gamepass or something. But I honestly would love more stuff like this, crazy worlds that you can just team up with friends and explore the world with.
I know there's a mod, but I'd love an official multiplayer version of something like Just Cause, lots of hectic fun.
I actually didn't know the customisation was like that, I thought it was a bit like the Arkham series where it's set suits. I didn't know you could mix and match.
Also..... I've definitely seen the amount of "cake" in Gotham Knights. Someone was definitely hungry when making this game.
