So for Gotham Knights simple things like counter attacks and the ability to fast travel are not available until you unlock them by completing about 2 hours of repetitive tasks. This is the same for all 4 characters. Once you have the abilities then you can grind some more to upgrade them.
What about the skill tree? Everything fun required the level up points to unlock them.
In Arkham basic combo and counter button is available but everything else was a an unlock by earning points by accomplishments.
And to make it worst you have to beat tons of miscellaneous mobs to get the clues you need to unlock said missions so it takes about 2 hours per Knighthood. It's super annoying.
Sure, you can always grind to unlock everything. That is always an option. Grinding is not needed to beat the game, though. There are enough encounters in the game just doing the story missions to give you enough XP to unlock everything you need and then some.
Yea but wouldn't it be much, much harder to beat Arkham without the skill tree upgrades? I found myself needing to unlock certain upgrades to be able to defeat or infiltrate certain enemies/sections of the game which would be borderline impossible without certain abilities/gadgets?
It's pretty garbage, i'll be honest. I bought it for $40 from GMG with a coupon, and I regret buying it. Honestly, I don't think it's worth any money. There is a wealth of other open-world style games that are better. You can pickup Valhalla complete for only $41 from GMG. That's like 300 hours bare minimum of quality open world gaming. Or just play through the AK games again. They are all better than this game.
Crossplatform costs money since they would have to host their own server that does those communications between all the different platforms, so most don't do it.
There was a hard push at the start, but console players started bitching about it. Every time a new game comes out you'll see several threads bitching about it pop up everywhere, even in PvE games.
At the rate the price is dropping it will be $15 in a few months. Unless you want to play it right now, I wouldn't bother.
RT off will help with hitching?
Yes, big time. Doesn't matter if you have a 4090 - It's just coded/done wrong and will hitch constantly if you have it turned on.
It helps a little but once you start moving across the map the game will continue to stutter when it loads the new areas.
The game has the typical UE4 shader comp hitching, but with raytracing enabled it will hitch constantly no matter what you do. Not sure why they bothered to put it in the game given how bad it makes the game run. It's not like it's just a hit to FPS - You can't even brute force your way through it since the entire game freezes constantly.
No, most games have raytracing that works just fine. This game is just poorly coded, and the raytracing doesn't even add that much compared to something like DL2 or 2077.
Is it time to check this game out again?!!?
