Batman protests when Commissioner Gordon suggests he might be a murderer. Thats not how I do things, he growls. But it is how he does things; hes killed three or four people this very Christmas Eve, all because Warner Bros Games Montreal has given him a device that can suspend hoodlums from gargoyles placed just beyond the boundaries of the map. Combined with a Batarang to cut that rope, Batman has been plunging thugs into a bottomless abyss, or if were still clinging to the fantasy, a 100ft drop onto ice. Developmental carelessness has made Batman a killer.
....you mean the same developmental carelessness that let me drop kick fools off a 20 story building in Arkham City >.>?
And I have no idea how in the hell they can think Rocksteady's artists did a better job than Warner Monts
And AGAIN with that really shitty "story" justification of "it doesn't let me be the batman, who never loses!" to write off the changes in the gameplay as negatives.
1. That logic is faulty regardless because Batman wouldn't lose regardless of the stakes, so if they're raised it shouldn't matter.
2. It's meant to be an Origin story staring a younger, more inexperienced Batman who's not nearly as battlehardened nor are the streets themselves nearly as clean as they might be when he's in his prime, so the increased threat levels are justified.
Regardless, it's kind of absurd I should even have to stoop to this to defend system design changes in the combat system because of story anyways.
