I was looking through the Gotham Knights Reddit for something (mod fix), and it really doesn't matter what you're looking for; there's always someone complaining in the notes about what a horrible game it is.

And 99.9999% of the time, it's people bitching it's not the Batman Arkham games. (Correct! It is not. It's the Gotham Knights game. Hope that helps.) But the funniest one I just saw someone saying, "this isn't a Batman game."

Like buddy. The whole premise is that Batman is dead. Of course, it's not a Batman game. It's a game about the world without him.

Did you really read the premise that starts with "Batman is dead" and expect to play as Batman? If so, that's a you problem.

"None of the characters handle like Batman."

Correct. Because they are Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Red Robin. They are not Batman. They may have been trained by him, but they all have their own unique ways of moving and fighting.

Nightwing flips gracefully through the world like gravity doesn't apply to him while also hitting like a fucking freight train. And he'll do it with a smile. You know this because you'll wake up with a picture of him on your phone. (I love that animation, it's so fucking cheeky.)

Batgirl uses her slighter weight and height to leverage your own strength against you before going for all your pressure points and rendering you helpless. And if she's not turning you into human origami, she's calling in her drones and bricking all your technology. A fight with Nightwing might leave you with a concussion, but a fight with Batgirl means you need treatment for a concussion and a new iPhone.

Red Hood moves like he hates the ground beneath his feet, and you're in his way of stomping on it. He's massive and not afraid of utilizing his size in a fight. He doesn't need guns to be lethal; in fact, his guns are designed to be non-lethal. The same can't be said for his fists. Or his sarcasm.

Red Robin slides through the streets of Gotham like a ghost, only to explode your entire world in a shower of fiery nanobots and a bo staff applied directly to the forehead. If you're really unlucky, you'll wake up hanging upside down from a telephone poll with no memory of how you got there.

They are not Batman.

And I would argue that is a good thing. It would have been very easy to turn them into Batman clones and just do the same thing that's been done a hundred times before. Instead, the devs tried to do something different, and while some of it is clunky and a bit glitchy, they did what they did with a fraction of the budget the original Arkham games had, and I honestly commend them for it.

It's not easy to enter the world of Batman and not be Batman. But that's the whole point of the narrative. You're not him. And you shouldn't feel like him.

You should feel like whoever you're playing as, and in that regard, it works.

Me when… me when… the identity is horror. Who are you? Can you be replicated? Is that replication you? If someone looks just like you, acts like you and is interpreted by others as you, are they you? Do your thoughts count for anything? If everything you actually think stays in your head and never comes out then you die do people grieve you? Do you respond to your name or to any name?

The absence of who you are. It’s the alienation of self.#the mandela catalogue #greylock #unreality #black swan

Gale Dekarios appears at first glance to be an attractive but disheveled wizard with a lot of charm but also a sorta sad, wet energy (like a cat left out in the rain). Then you get to know him, and he still is that, but he's also...

Gale Dekarios:

- Archmage.

- Chosen of the Goddess of Magic.

- Best friends with a tressym.

- Penpals with a magma mephit.

- Has been to at least one other dimension.

- Once bought 60 drinks at an adventurer's bar to stop a needless fight.

- Lives in a tower.

- Seems like a pacifist but says things like, "Let me recite their demise," in battle.

- Knows a guy who can get you some brains.

I'm sure there are more interesting tidbits I'm missing, but I can't keep making this list forever.

Furthermore, all of Gale's horny lines come from out of nowhere and hit you like a truck. The timing and delivery are incredible. Completely blunt, no warning, no reservation. Just, "Not that I don't appreciate your musk," and, "I once read a book that explained in some detail the effect a brush with danger has on one's desire for... other forms of stimulation," and, "It surely can't be a surprise that I have a practiced tongue."

Gale.

Just, Gale, man.

Fucking Gale.

#bg3 #bg3 gale #baldurs gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 gale #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #this man lives rent free in my head #the perfect character does exist #bought the game for astarion #fell in love with gale instead

The comparison between Zane (Jean's temporary partner) not protecting Jean from Grayson when it was needed the most versus Neil (Jean’s “misplaced forever partner”) immediately getting rid of Grayson the second he finds out he hurt Jean.

#fuck the perfect court but goddamn #forever grateful that it’s canon that Jean and Neil care about eachother #even in their super messy and complicated way #neil josten #jean moreau #aftg #the sunshine court #tsc #tsc spoilers #aftg tsc #all for the game

"Matt grinned like he thought Neil was joking and left." - the kings men

NEIL THE MAN THAT YOU ARE I feel like we as a fandom don't talk about this enough. Neil's casually sending out hits against abusers (Proust, Grayson), and admitting to wanting to murder Riko and the foxes are like, "ha, good one buddy!"

He's a feral little gremlin and I think the only people who see Neil clearly are Andrew, Kevin, and Jean
