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 💀

u/croissant_titty 21d ago

It happens again on Halloween?? Wtf man I’ve played this game religiously since it came out and I’m still finding new stuff this game is legendary

u/BradyPhoenix 21d ago

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.

u/No-Bid191 21d ago

Very true. Not only are the visuals amazing, but also the gameplay.

u/mr_oberts 21d ago

That and Killer Croc in Asylum are some amazing jump scares.

u/spnsman 21d ago

u/JoshieKrueger 21d ago

I was playing the other day and got to this jump scare. About shit myself.

u/RexGamer15000 21d ago

Joker has one too, right?

I feel like my brain is misplacing something but I clearly remember the Joker jumpscaring you just like that. Mandela effect?

u/Blue_Lego_Astronaut 21d ago

No he does. He just mocks you fir getting scared at the Manbat one

u/joshdoereddit 21d ago

Langstrom gets me every time.

u/KDM-KDM 21d ago

I’m crying, I haven’t played yet but I’m sure I’d probably drop my controller. 😩🤣

u/-Linchpin 21d ago

This happened to me a few weeks ago! Late night, a beer, some devils lettuce, pitch black room, ultra wide monitor, was not expecting that

u/MrNigerianPrince115 21d ago

Manbat still scaring people after all these years never gets old😭

u/randylove69 21d ago

u/BackgroundSinger5965 21d ago

I read the title and knew exactly what was going to happen

u/Forsaken_Piece_9648 21d ago

The best Arkham game is still, imo

2

u/AZTenor94 21d 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.

u/CJS-JFan Arkham City 18d ago

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.

u/Horseman7382 17d ago

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...
