I had a brain freeze for the next blog so i put it out on Twitter for anyone to give me some suggestions and ideas. So, Good Buddy and Twitter follower (@Zeroreax) suggested I tackle, BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT! I decided to make it a list of what I hope to see/not see in the upcoming game. Lets get started.
1. I WANT TO SEE.. More multiple playable storylines with different characters!
ARKHAM CITY Is my favorite out of the current line up of Arkham Games. One of the main reasons was because of the CATWOMAN angle of the storyline. It was really cool following an interconnected story within a single game. And the bonus HARLEY QUINN’S REVENGE, We got to play as ROBIN. Which was really fun. I hope to see that aspect of the game return for this installment. And not only as a bonus DLC add-on. If this is to be the last ARKHAM game. I want a massive, Multi-layered story. One in which that incorporates many of the members of the Bat-Family. As we approach the games release, It’s been announced that a DLC Bonus story featuring The RED HOOD, is available and a Game Stop exclusive Harley Quinn “Chalange Map” (if I’m not mistaken) is also out there. So, so far so good in that department.
2. I DON’T WANT TO SEE.. A rediculous amount of unnessesary upgrades! He’s BATMAN! Just how much more perfect does he need to be!? I understand the need to increase the amount of playtime you want a player to invest in to a game. But hot damn! That has to be one of the things I disliked about AC and AO! Upgrade the gadgets, the suits, and some of the takedowns. But please, keep it to a minimum.
3. I WANT TO SEE.. A real Two player experience. Not a lot of folks liked the multiplayer aspect of ARKHAM ORIGINS. But including an actual story centric two player mode where you can team Bats with, Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood, hell I want BATGIRL in this jam! (But, Barbra is ORACLE in the game?!) So what!?! It’s a game! Put her in the suit and let her kick some ass! [ Now I know there is no chance in hell that they will include ANY form of Two Player Mode in AK. But a nerd can dream can he?]
4. I DON’T WANT.. The Riddler to have so much shit stashed around the city! Please.. Three games and I’m alittle Riddler-Fatigued.. (Although, I enjoy every minute he’s in the Gotham TV series) What AO did right and improved/repeated from AC, was mix it up abit with the amount of non riddler tasks that littered the city. If that to be done again. Bring in new villains. I think we’ve taken cared of MadHatter, DeadShot, Killer Croc, and Poison Ivy and Zazaz Two times too many. Lets switch it up abit more with this one.
5. I DO WANT.. More BatSuits… Nuff said!
6. I DON’T WANT.. Hard as hell trophy tasks! My goodness. AO made me do so much crap to get one trophy it was rediculous! Go back to the simple trophy achievements of AA and AC! And PLEASE! No more freeflow combat ones! It’s next to impossible to do an 80x FreeFlow Combo! SO DON’T ASK ME TO DO IT TO GET A DAMN TROPHY!
7. I DO WANT.. A REALLY AWESOME. NERDGASM INDUCING. EPIC. BATMAN GAME!!
8. I DON’T WANT.. The ARKHAM KNIGHT to be a throw away Villian. Or a lame one at that. They are not giving us too much info about AK, but here’s hoping its something really unexpected.
9. I DON’T WANT.. ANYMORE FREAKING CONCEPT ART! I mean, for shits sake, give it a rest! If your gonna give some kind of bonus prize for completing a certain task. Give me an unlockable character!! (See number 1 on this list for further details.) Just please. No more concept art!
I guess that’s gonna do it for me. If you agree or disagree with anything here. Or if you have anything to add, please feel free to comment below or hit me up at my usual haunts.
I admit it. Not my strongest article. But fuck it. Take it or leave it!
So, until next time folks… Peace out!
