You mash attack until the counter prompt lights up then you press counter then go back to mashing attack. I really liked the arkham games but combat is easily the weakest aspect imho. There's a little more to it than that at higher levels and you can turn the indicator off but again, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally I myself had a lot of fun doing those challenge rooms especially with the other characters you could download who had different movesets than Batman like Nightwing and Robin. I've enjoyed all of the Arkham games including the combat and I'm looking forward to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Combat in the Arkham games was very well done from what I remember, definitely not a weakness. Especially when you got later into the game with different combos of enemies, they almost became puzzles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different enemies had to be attacked or countered in different ways and the game taught you over the course of the game. The game basically becomes a combat puzzle after a certain point. That's why that video I posted was so impressive... that dude went for 20 minutes with one long unbroken 2,000 hit combo. I think the highest I got was 150 hits or soemthing.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that it’s past time since I’m still fairly satisfied with the graphics and performance of the PS4. I also have 600+ games for it, so I don’t really need another game console right now especially one that costs $500. Heck, I couldn’t even get one now if I wanted to since they’re not available. I do plan on getting a PS5 Slim in the future if Sony releases one, but for now I’m still fine gaming on my PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, all of the Warner games with this playstyle play like this from the Arkham games to Mordor to Mad Max. Nothing new with that and that's before Spiderman. Either you're into it or you aren't.

With Batman, he’s constantly jumping, diving, flipping or rolling. With this, there’s so many animations with this guy’s feet on the ground that it looks like he’s figure skating on asphalt.

This is overly reductive to the point that you could criticize any game this way. Effectively playing the game requires far more attention to timing, who you attack, what kind of combo you use, whether you dodge or counter (not everything can be countered) etc. The skill curve is quite high as the 2000x combo shows. It's fine if you don't find what's there fun but that's not the same as a claim that it's overly simplistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Uhh, Batman has like 9 trillion gadgets in the Arkham games, many of which are required (or at least useful) for certain types of enemies, if you were just doing attacks and counters you were playing in a very boring and ineffective way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find one if you try. It's how I got mine. But things have to move forward sometime. Sounds like you've got plenty to play until you can get a PS5.

silentbob Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Game still doesn’t impress me and the movement is the big one for me. I think the players don’t have any real weight too them and look too floaty. The RedHood gameplay looks like total boring shit in all honesty. The city looked nice but that’s about all the praise I’m willing to give the game so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggit Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Overall I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be after watching the new gameplay. The person playing as Red Hood is awful at the game. Makes Red Hood look kind of bad to play. There was also some pretty nasty slow down when Red Hood was fighting that big guy, and that cloudy red vfx appeared on screen.

Yeah, I’m sure that if I wanted one bad enough right now that I could probably find one if I put forth the effort to do so. Congrats on getting yours BTW. 2 hours ago, CastlevaniaNut18 said: But things have to move forward sometime. Sounds like you've got plenty to play until you can get a PS5. I figure that by the time that I get a PS5 it will have more exclusive games that I’m interested in, it doesn’t have too many right now. But one that it does have right now that I’m most interested in is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I’m a big fan of the Ratchet & Clank series, and Rift Apart looks stunning.
