Batman: Arkham Knight

Listening to this week's Bombcast...the idea of a "strafing" Batmobile sounds fucking dumb.

This game looked amazing tonight during the briefing

I don't mind delays. Rather have something done right than done soon just for the sake of being soon.

Some might say that listening to the Bombcast sounds fucking dumb. ;)

Hey, don't get me wrong, I disagree with them about Origins. I just think the idea of a car that can strage sounds super silly.

Did you watch that video? I don't think it looks too crazy. It looks like it might be pretty cool.

My issue is that the Batmobile looks too big for the environment. Maybe it's just me.

I didn't get to watch it until last night. It definitely looks better than I thought that it would. I also agree that I think that the Batmobile looks HUGE comparitively to the streets. The fact that it basically just fucking bulldozes through anything it comes near seems like their fix to that. Either way, the eject looks incredible, and the city was amazing. There was no way I wasn't on board for this game, but this video definitely wiped any major fears I had (which mostly involved the inclusion of the Batmobile).

Quasi related:

I'm going to try not to nerd out too much here but, I'm reading the trade paperbacks of the recent Batman reboot (which contrary to the following complaint, I've really enjoyed), and I am just so tired of Batman not killing and the narrative excuses they come up with for that. He can basically plow through and cause scads of property damage (that could very easily be causing civilian deaths), with no worries. On top of that, he busts out his insane machine gun and rocket launchers, and conveniently, everything he's fighting against isn't operated by humans. It's weird to me that the best way for villains to counteract Batman would be to just send bad guys in tanks, because Batman won't kill them, so what can he do?

Not blaming Rocksteady for this, obviously, it's just one of the weird character things about Batman that just seems so silly at this point. Just let him fucking waste dudes.

Why would they give out two statues in one CE?

The more important question is why should I have to buy two crazy expensive editions to get all the goodies?

The memorial statue looks like shit anyways.

You going to buy both CE's for The Order: 1886?

No. That's another one that pisses me off. If I'm that much of a fan to, hypothetically, spend or want to spend anywhere from $130-$200 for a CE of a game I should get ALL of the collectibles, trinkets, swag, etc.
