Never thought I'd hate the Batmobile

[Kevin Hamilton]

But recently picked up a ps4 and got Arkham Knight. I'm EARLY on in the game and I hate the car so far. The handling is atrocious. The slightest wrong move and you're careening off a roof or wall or whatever and it's jus annoying.

And I know that most of the game is like this. Why did they design that way? Batmobile should have been a fun, occasional addition to the series, not a chore.

[Limity (BLM)]

I bought my Xbox One about two and a half years ago, and followed all the complaints about the batmobile over the years on here and elsewhere.

I made it to the first mission with the batmobile, where you're basically platforming up to get into a building, and I've never touched it since. I love the Arkham series, I love exploring the Gotham they created, but I just have zero interest in Arkham Knight because of that damn batmobile.

Absolutely drove me nuts. Ruined the game for me. So much bullshit involving the Batmobile. So much stupid platforming in a giant car.

Here's my experience with Arkham Knight - I turned it on a few years ago, did one round with the Batmobile, never had any desire to play the game again.

I finished Arkham Knight, but the 200+ Riddler trophies thing was bullshit so I looked up the true ending online. I think the only real difficulty I had was with the end boss.

Before I even clicked on it, just by the thread title it was obvious Arkham Knight was the reason!

Without spoiling it too much, there is a very specific part later on where you will hate the Batmobile so much, you’ll consider going out into the street and kicking the first person you see.

I didn't hate the Batmobile stuff, but there was way, way, way too much of it.

[Chiral]

I remember before I played a friend said "Yeah. instead of Be the Batman the tagline should be BE THE BATMOBILE" and I was like NOOO way they'd make it ALL about the Batmobile right?

And then...

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

When I played it the first time I hated it. I didn’t mind it at all on my second playthrough though.

[Starshine]

Once you get used to the handling, it’s not too bad. It just doesn’t handle like any car you’re used to. The platforming can be drag though.

I just find it hilarious how much the series highlights Batman’s no kill rule, while I freely mow down various street toughs, and crush their corpses.

[Glitch]

I absolutely hate those tanks that you have to sneak up behind.

[G✇JI☈A]

I remember when I finished the initial story and wandered if I should go for the 100% completion and

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Because I still needed to capture Deathstroke after he takes over from the Arkham Knight (Red Hood) in those side missions.... then I found out his fight is a tank battle... and I said ‘f*** that’ and stopped playing

I did no back when the DLC’s came out (I got the season pass, did not want them to go to waste)... luckily the Batmobile use was minimal in those.

It's like Rocksteady got annoyed with people asking for the Batmobile so went "Fine, have ALL the Batmobile!" It would have been fine if it was just used for traversal and maybe the occasional chase but it's just too much. I mean what about the Riddler screams time trial races?

It took me almost an hour to complete the the first one. I haven't bothered going for the second.

Sorry, Selina.

Great game but they relied way too hard on the Batmobile

It should been a addition to the game and not part of key mechanics

['Foretold' Joker]

I tend to ignore Arkham Knight, yes the batmobile sucks but also the Scarecrow who was amazing in Asylum is completely different and lame in this one.

[Mecca]

Wait till the Arkham Knight chase happens and you get to do loops in a tunnels that will kill you if your timing isn't perfect.

[Hypnosis]

I haven't played any of the Arkham games, but I hate when I'm required to drive/pilot a vehicle that's hard to control or land as part of a story mission like Trevor's plane in GTA5.

That was a pain in the ass to finish.

[Cyno]

I'm surprised WB never put out a patch to make the Batmobile parts optional. Those parts were hated by like, everyone.
