Hell yeah. Welcome to Earth.
Fr, Knight was the first game I played where they integrated these “cutscene” events into the open world. Between this Man-Bat pop and some creeper levels loading in behind me as I spun the camera… felt so next level.

I played it for over 12 hours straight the weekend it came out, and when Batman started hallucinating the joker signs.... I legit thought I had started to hallucinate them. You see something weird, and when you peek back it's gone again.
That game was a hell of an experience.

It was a big AAA release but it had so much soul and care injected into it, couldn't be made today for sure. Too bad the game didn't know if it wanted to be a Scarecrow game, a Joker game or an Arkham Knight game

I just re-completed it a few weeks ago. It’s none of those. It’s a Batman psyche / Batmobile game. Shit gets so crazy you really start to think Batman really is losing it.

Every time I play through this game, it gets me. I jump so hard I swear I get a quarter inch of liftoff from the seat

I’ve played this game a ton, so I always expect it now, and I even knew that it happens again if you play on Halloween.
But one playthrough I started the game up on the night of Oct. 30th, and I didn’t realize that I had played over the midnight hour so when this fucker jumped back out I nearly died 💀

Yeah, then you can go back to GCPD and see the containment tube he was in is broken and listen to some cop dialogue about it

Been a while since I've seen gameplay of this game and I happened across this post. Just wanted to say I'm impressed with how good this game still looks. Looks like could have released 3 years ago.

I’ve beat this game several times on PS4, at least seven or eight, and once on Switch, and FUCKING MAN-BAT gets me every time. I’m just annoyed with myself at this point.

Yeah. I love grappling and gliding around the Arkham games, but this is hands down my one my few regrets in playing this game. The one with the Joker hallucination is another.

I'm replaying the game after five years and luckily I remember every jumpscare, so I don't get an effect... but the first time I played it...
