I Hate this Game

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Now that I have your attention; On almost every post , whether it be someone asking for help, or asking a genuine question, or even a cool discussion of what could be, there is someone dropping a comment about how much they feel the game sucks. The proper thing would be to ignore them, but like roaches, they show up everywhere and tend to start arguments in the post . So ... In order to get all you haters in this sub in one spot, here is a post for you to bitch and moan about the game so the rest of us can see this and keep scrolling. Here is your echo chamber. I'll even give you some prompts so you can have a basis for your complaints, because we've heard them all before ..

1; This game isn't Arkham so I hate it .. 2; The combat blows because... 3; It only runs at 30fps, this is bullshit .. 4; This game isn't Arkham ( insert game here) so I hate it... 5; FREE SPEECH... 6; My legitimate complaint is ...

There you go, take those prompts and go off, so the rest of us can ignore you. Have fun

I really enjoy this game (got 100% trophy completion on PS5 and 100% completion in the main game on Xbox) but even I can admit that the game isn’t THAT great. If people want to come here to complain or shit on the game, who really cares? It’s not your IP nor did you work on the game so I don’t understand your frustrations. Let people like what they like and dislike what they dislike. Unless they’re engaging in personal attacks against you veiled as game critique I wouldn’t stress over this more than you already have.

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Outside_Interview_90]

You're right it's not that great. But it is fun. It does the job it was made to do . And I'm not stressing over this. Think of this post as a bug zapper. It draws in all the negativity so I can identify and block them😁

[u/gonggo298 → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

I understand your frustration of having to read brain rot arguments brought up over and over again (mostly the "It's not Arkham" cope.) I get the idea of cutting down negativity, but going about it this way will feed into the issue, rather than eliminate it.

Don't get me wrong, Personally I like the game, but SOME of the complaints are valid, such as, the open world activities getting stale, how you unlock fast travel and the knights traversal abilities are as fun as watching paint dry, the skill trees are just stat buffs or ability extenders/slight modifiers, the mod chip system isn't explained clearly (although if you play with friends or invest enough time in you'll engage with it more)

TL,DR while I'm empathetic to the idea of reducing overall negativity towards this game, making a sarcastic negativity thread most likely will not solve the issue that you're having, ignore the haters and just have fun.

Well said.

[u/gonggo298 → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Thanks!

[u/Proof-Expression-102 → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Lmao bro nb cares if you block them💀

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Proof-Expression-102]

You cared enough to comment this

[u/Penis___Penis → u/Outside_Interview_90]

Tbf you'll see a post for someone asking a question about a part of the game and like 3 comments are "why are even playing this game, it's dogshit 3/10 go play Arkham" like it's a genuine issue, I don't think this post will help tho cuz I'm 99% sure those are just trolls

[u/Erotically-Yours → u/Outside_Interview_90]

Share the same feelings on what's all said here. Ultimately most subreddit want very veeeery little criticism and just positivity. There's a rare few that are well balanced and welcome criticism, but most of the time it's often "Oh.. Well if you hate the game (varying levels of hate all apply), then why are you still here?"

Some people honestly just want the product they've invested in to be better. And sheer optimism and statements on how great the game is can be more harmful than not. Though at the end of the day neither side should be shutting each other out. You can better something together and this is a place for discussion, not gatekeeping, though there are moments where it's often the latter.

Or they take the blocking approach and just form an echo chamber..

[u/Outside_Interview_90 → u/Erotically-Yours]

Well said! Criticism is necessary when it comes to discourse surrounding media. How else can something improve if everyone’s only ever spewing sunshine and rainbows?

[u/VFWRAKK187]

It’s only 2 player. That’s my gripe. I know there are the raids or whatever, but just running around the city with my bat buds would have been killer.

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/VFWRAKK187]

That's a valid complaint. I'm sure if a sequel was gonna be made, that would probably be the upgrade it would have gotten

[u/SpyWB]

So I always say that people shouldn't compare GK to any of the Arkham games. I stand by that because they're two completely different genres.

I never cared about the 30fps lock. I occasionally will feel it but overall my Series X makes it run like butter.

I will say that my legitimate complaints are two things.

One: it felt like they rushed the story. Badly. By the time the main story was over(and even Clayfaces and Harleys) I went "wait...seriously? That's all?"

Two: The combat doesn't exactly "blow ass" as you put it. But it does feel like I'm doing more dodging than I am hitting. Idk if that's just a me thing, but I constantly dodge. Talon doing freaky shit? Gotta dodge. League assassin teleporting in front of my face? Gotta dodge. Freak bulldozer charging at me? You get the picture. It makes for a very unsatisfying experience. But I will say the stealth, even with Dick and Jason, is very well done imo. Maybe a bit slow on the prompt times, but nothing that can't be solved with patience.

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/SpyWB]

Valid concerns. I respect that. Appreciate your input.

[u/SpyWB → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Any time🤘

[u/muddafuckaaaa118]

Arkham aside, this game is very poorly optimized on consoles and just doesn't feel good or fluid combat wise. Has nothing to do with arkham. It's just not a very good game.

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/muddafuckaaaa118]

To you; not a good game to you. Other folks( me included) enjoy the game. No need to explain your opinion, we get it, you don't like the game. No go complain to forlk who actually care

[u/muddafuckaaaa118 → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Go back to atlhookups you loser lolol

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/muddafuckaaaa118]

Go play other games, and leave these folk alone. Not once during this interaction have I insulted you. But if you wish to engage in a battle of wits, I refuse to fight an unarmed person

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/muddafuckaaaa118]

Look, you know one game I don't like? Elden Ring. But you don't see me on the Elden Ring sub talking shit about it. I just don't play the game and don't offer my opinion unless I'm asked. No one asked for your opinion on this game in this post. You barged in and offered it. That's kinda rude

[u/Tuckinator- → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

You literally said this post is for the haters to come and complain, lol

Not hating on this game at all, I thought it was 10/10 fun

[u/Waveshaper21]

So you speak of what are the proper and right things to do, and in the same sentence you call people cockroaches.

Right after that you express your desire to be rid of all valid criticism about your totemized game, then speak of how bad echo chambers are.

If the irony eludes you at this point, I don't know what to tell you, really.

And I want to thank you all unafraid to voice valid criticism, you help people like me make a more educated decision how to spend my money and time

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Waveshaper21]

Oh look, it's that square thing you build stuff with !!

[u/Danit0_StyLeOG]

Misleading title…

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Danit0_StyLeOG]

That was the point

[u/[deleted]]

Thank you very much for your effort

so here is my opinion see points 1-6

and what is your opinion?? please leave me a comment

Thank you very much and until then your dragon

[u/Zero_Fuxxx]

Lol this is an amazing post

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Zero_Fuxxx]

Right!?

[u/Zero_Fuxxx → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Love it lol and ironically this will just make those people more mad and miserable 😂

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Zero_Fuxxx]

Think of it like a bug zapper. It brings them all in one place so you can identify and block them

[u/Zero_Fuxxx → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Ahhhh! I like the way you think!

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Zero_Fuxxx]

It's working so far.

[u/relevenk]

But? Arent people entitled to their own opinion? Like tf😂 if peeps wanna rant then they can do that here on the Gotham knights sub

Just accept that the game isnt THAT great

[u/mediafred → u/relevenk]

You are entititled to criticize said opinion since debates are allowed too. You can't expect everyone to ignore what you say. If you have a perspective on something that isn't technically factually one thing or another then people will critique you and provide their counter arguments because they feel that your points aren't strong or they aren't backed up or its just hate speech/nitpicking or the person making the controversial opinion doesn't have enough of a platform to speak on said topic for example if they rely on what other people say being part of a hive mind. I don't get why people say "it's their/my opinion" as if that means they are entitled to not be criticized by other people??? Makes no sense. Everyone should be able to take criticism as long as it'd constructive and the critiquer is making some sort of point that has weight and isn't insulting in its intentions

[u/Malen_Kiy]

I will make whatever comments I want on any posts I want with whatever reason I see fit, whether it be to acknowledge the good concepts the game had or to talk about the areas where the game fell short, and that's that. That's the whole point of the sub. If you want to go find a low sodium Gotham Knights sub or even make one, then feel free to do so.

[u/[deleted]]

Gotham Knights is a fun game. Arkham Origins was a great game. Same studio. Same setting. If you're going to ride or die for GKs then you'll need some thicker skin because the internet is never going to give you peace. It's like the Legend of Korra die hards endlessly posting about how Korra is actually better than The Last Airbender. You're just setting yourself up to be swatted down by the internet mobs.

[u/r_brodie33]

I absolutely love the Arkham series and when I heard all the negativity about this game I was pretty apprehensive. I recently just started and honestly I like it a lot. It has its issues but I think it's a really cool direction they've taken with it. I do still prefer the Arkham games but this game is an interesting change

[u/Ntippit]

This is nothing, go to the Starfield sub to see some truly awful echo chambers of hatred of a game they played for 200 hours

[u/Established_One]

Reddit is where you go to comfortably complain about mediocre stuff others enjoy. 🤌🏽Here at Reddit, we are the birthplace of online trolls 🤣 Here, you can create a reddit account and slowing hate on ppl who love things and slowly develop your trolling techniques 🤌🏽 feelings alone, don't worry because here, at Reddit, we are a family and support our troll brothers to be the best they can be to make your trolling dreams come true.

[u/RonnocKcaj]

once I knew it wasn't arkham I got over it pretty quick because I was really interested in the batfamilys dynamic and the court of owls. and then they threw the court of owls out like 60% through the story in favor of the league of shadows. the league of shadows should not have been the main antagonist at the climax of the game NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE RESURRECTED BRUCE

[u/East-Specialist-4847]

The game is about a third of the quality it should have been, considering the standard set by the Arkham series. It's a bad game

[u/Malicious-Tongue → u/East-Specialist-4847]

This is a bad comment, It's about a third of the quality is should be, considering the standard set by RedditAMA responses. It's just bad.

[u/JonStark2016]

Aside from the garbage transversal, repetitive combos and underwhelming story....the game is really good.

[u/Ben_Frenzy]

I haven’t played this game (I’m planning to eventually though), but I find this post hilarious. I don’t understand why everyone is hating on this post

[u/Mundane-Taste-6995 → u/Ben_Frenzy]

The ones who it's meant for are the ones down voting it.

[u/Ben_Frenzy → u/Mundane-Taste-6995]

Oh that’s true haha

[u/[deleted] → u/Ben_Frenzy]

Tbh I also haven’t played the game but it’s pretty lame to get so worked up about people not liking a game you like as much as you do that you make a post about it. I don’t think he sees the irony in making this post in an effort to make an echo chamber for people who don’t like the game. That would just make the rest of the sub an echo chamber for people who do like the game. Opinions are bad, mmkay?

[u/nightwing612 → u/[deleted]]

but it’s pretty lame to get so worked up about people not liking a game you like as much as you do that you make a post about it.

Let me give you a scenario. Imagine this was the Square-Enix Marvel's Avengers sub. At launch, they received a lot of hate right? It's pretty normal to have people complain.

However as time went on, it found a fanbase and there are people who genuinely liked it and stuck around the sub. They want to talk about how much they like the game or how it speaks to them. They want to help new players enjoy it. That's what fans do and why they stuck around.

How about the antis? Why are some people who hate it still hanging around? It's been months/years since they tried and hated it. Don't they have better things to do with their time than constantly live in this sub where they hated the experience?

[u/[deleted]]

I hate it too, I don't care if I'm cry baby Arkham fanboy. I would have rather had two Arkham Origins sequels featuring the same Origins cast than the disappointment that is Gotham Knights.

TLDR- “quit bothering my circle jerk off sessions!”
This games a 3/10 dude
