Deathstroke boss fight In knight was harder than origins and why would they male him fight fist time fist again when you already did in origins makes no sense
What annoys me so much about the cloud burst Tank Battle with the Arkham Knight is that once he spots you, it takes SO DAMN LONG until your able to shake him off and resume stealth. He will chase you almost for eternity and it just gets so stressful.
That’s why it’s fun for me. It gets so tense and seeing his shots barely miss me, which tests your map knowledge and driving skills is super satisfying.
Each of the Arkham games have had a stealth boss, which is a boss you fight where you either have to sneak around, or can't be seen. For Asylum, it was Scarecrow(and technically Croc if you want to count that) For City, it was Freeze For Origins, it was Bane But Knight....the Cloudburst? I dunno, it just feels weird, having all these epic battles where you have to sneak around, but then in Knight you have to do that but in a giant tank.
Hey bro, you forgot Jason Todd's boss fight as the Red Hood. Sure it isn't as stealthy as Croc's or Scarecrow's and of course, not Mr.Freeze (which I really loved by the way) but I feel like it can compete with the batmobile parts And I've heard a lot from people of how disappointed they are of being robbed of good boss fights. But overall I didn't mind one bit and I freaking love this game, and it also got me into Batman (and I got my cousins into DC, consequently lol)
I like Hood's fight but I wish he was more involved. You can just ignore that side of the room then it's just a better version of the City Deadshot "fight"
Just an idea, imagine if some of the tanks were actually manually piloted so you would have to either hack the tanks to make them on operable or you would have to hit them in a way that wouldn’t kill the pilot but would leave the tank useless. Obviously you could have some canon fodder drones, but I think it would’ve been interesting if there was at least one or two where you’d have to use your brain instead of using your tank.
Jack here, to be honest I think the way to go and the story in general should’ve been based around the Knight destroying Batman’s psyche, for example making him kill. Drone tanks was a lazy story cop out but seriously this game would’ve been much more intriguing from a storytelling perspective if it had a deeper meaning to it over generic “revitalized friendship” or from “bad to good.”
The developers should have, imo, made the Batmobile less tanky and with non lethal weaponry. The few tank battles should be focused around using immobilisation, hacking and EMP on the tanks.
Honestly Professor Pyg is my favorite fight in this game but I don't like any of the bosses in this game that much but Professor Pyg because of the build up and song might make my top ten
I hated professor pyg, his singing was distracting, the dollotrons we're a pain in the ass, and why do you have to counter three knives instead of one? I felt amazing when I performed the environment takedown on porky here.
Jack here, and that’s pretty fair, I personally thought Knight had the most complex and unique bosses across the board but Origins beats it out in terms of overall boss quality I’d say.
I have to be honest I never had an issue beating the cloudburst bossbattle. I would just sneak up on the tanks, either blow them up or hack them so they can fight for me. Attack and retreat the main boss, and then finally use whatever I have in my weapon system to take down the Arkham Knight in seconds. I think it deserves to be pretty low on the list considering I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to not enjoying it and I 100% see why people would hate it. But I would have to put Deathstroke’s boss below it simply because it’s so out of character. At least the Arkham knight makes sense piloting a tank considering he’s a very technology based combatant. But Deathstroke is meant to be hand to hand. And besides if you don’t use up any of your weapon gauge and the other tanks in deathstrokes fight, once you get to him you can take out deathstroke in about three seconds. It’s so anti-climactic compared to his Arkham Origins fight which was legitimately challenging.
I (Alex) personally found Deathstroke as a boss to be more offensive for the same reason. Jack put the cloudburst lower because he finds the gameplay to be awful, I find it not that hard but definitely not that fun.
Jack here, and spot on take dude, me now would definitely put Deathstroke below the Cloudburst with minimal thought to it but at the time i was thinking in terms of pure enjoyment. Also note I didn’t know you could hack tanks and all that jazz, nonetheless I 100% agree with you. Thanks for watching!
Why am I actually surprised that the Batgirl DLC was made by WB Montreal? I knew the DLC felt like a little slice of Origins with the cutscenes being way too action-y and well-made to be made by the Rocksteady team (who’s largest amount of effort ever put in a cutscene went to the Arkham Knight reveal at ACE Chem), and the boss fight being actually stellar in the middle of every other one in the game when Origins is the only one with consistently great boss fights.
This game always had me thinking “when am I gonna have a boss fight?” lol, and during the actual encounters, I was always thinking “when am I gonna actually FIGHT the boss?”……it just never happened in this game…..sure, Jason puts your predator skills to the test in a tough, yet still generic predator room, but damn WHY couldn’t HE have been “the fight to finally beat the Deathstroke fight?” Why no hand to hand combat with anything? Making you fight one person in a very particular way….Arkham Origins’ Killer Croc intro fight had more depth than any fight in this entire game!!! You Ultra Stun AAA, then Beatdown YYYYY, THEN IMMEDIATELY DODGE, followed by hitting the tank of fuel with a batarang…..Shiva switched things up between fighting like a ninja enemy type, to fighting like a martial artist type, plus she had armor and no counter icon…..Bane was just awesome lol, both in hand to hand combat AND in stealth combat…Deathstroke needs no explanation, and yeah, he was mostly a cutscene, but it was COOL….Arkham Knight was just lazy with boss encounters…..I’ll never forgive Rocksteady for making such an awesome game while failing so miserably at unique bosses…..and I’m still kinda sore over Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman and other playable characters still not being used much in the story, and no Bat Cave….oh well, still a great game, better than pretty much anything I’ve seen on current Gen consoles which is sad lol
The deathstroke tank fight is by far worse than the cloud burst one. You have a fully upgraded batmobile with which you can cheese the deathstroke fight with ease OR you could hack the cobras and literally do nothing. Also I didn't fight the narrow streets an issue, actually it makes the cloud burst fight good since any other settint would've made it way too easy and the camera angle change made the chase feel better
I kinda wish that the deathstroke fight started out the same, but before you grab your pitchforks, I wish ended with an extremely more spiced up version from Origins. Just imagine two martial artists starting on the streets then after the first phase you go into a brawl where you fighting across roof tops making active use of the environment the entire time, and Deathstroke gets twice as more likely to counter your actions throughout the phases making it tougher and tougher. That woulda been perfect
My biggest issue with Cloudburst is that when he spots you, getting away isn't really a skill thing. Sure, you have to avoid his shots, but you can't escape by being good at dodging and weaving. It's just a static timer that magically makes him forget you at the end, which is just lame.
Jason didn’t man the helicopter because he didn’t want Batman to hold back he said that in a line of dialogue I think but that’s why he doesn’t man any of the drones.
I think the stealth in batmobile was easy, and cloudburst was better for the fact that you have to do more then just shoot at the ONE OF THE BEST ASSASSINS IN THE VERSE WHO CAN GO TOE TO TOE WITH BATMAN AT TIMES. Also, with them being unmanned, a lot of CZcamsrs have brought it up, but scarecrow and jason wants bruse to fail at his best.
The arkham knight bosses honestly feel like a major downgrade compared to City. (Not mentioning origins cause that was developed not by rocksteady) The fact that the scarecrow "Boss fight" is a challenge map locked exclusively on the playstation should be considered a crime.
I believe johnny charisma knowing Bruce's secret id is because the fear toxin slowly transforms the lyrics into hallucination Joker's, whose known the whole time since he's just in your head--especially since he not only knew Babs is "dead" but because Tim doesn't say shit about finding out she'd dies
Jason already gave a reason as to why his drones aren’t manned. It’s because remotely controlled drones don’t hesitate, they’re not afraid and they don’t hold back. How did you miss this? He literally said this during the first campaign of disarmament mission. Also, what if the tanks hit each other? What a waste of resources.
I remember playing all of these games and I absolutely loved them but Arkham knight is my fav of the series because Harley Quinn was playable cus she is my fav and I liked that we could use the bat mobile (but I hated tank battles they were the worst) and the map was bigger also that there were a lot of playable characters compared to other games in the series
I liked the tank fights as well as me thinking most do, but when you have like 5000000 of them good God do something else. I get it you want me to use the batmobile
no 1 for me is deathstroke Arkham origins he is very skilled, fast , strong and smart the hand to hand combat is the main reason Arkham origins is my favourite game out of the series it works really well upon that also one if the few villains that respect batman
This dosnt excuse anything ab the fight bc a one in one hand to hand fight with deathstroke would’ve been way better especially with the upgraded fighting mechanics but I’ve always thought the end of the fight where they finally get out of the tanks is supposed to show how Batman’s become so much better at fighting that once they came face to face it was just a quick takedown.
The good thing about the cloudburst boss is that once you take out all four vents, it checkpoints, ao that when you die, you come back with full health. What I usually do is just go nose to nose with it and spam the machine gun until it explodes.
Jack here, I’m on Xbox and those are PlayStation exclusive. I also don’t really count them as bosses to be honest, they’re sort of just existing level hazards over a varying AI boss fight, it’s set and just exists over say Red Hood where it’s set but varies in approach over repeating the same action as you do in the Scarecrow Challenges.
Arkham Knight had the best bosses across the board on average…..lmao DAYUM that’s a hot take…they’re easily the worst…they don’t even qualify as boss fights, I’d maybe call them boss “encounters” as in a scenario in which there’s a named NPC (Riddler, Killer Croc, Arkham Knight, Deathstroke, etc) that has to be taken down, but you never directly fight anyone, not even Killer Croc, Riddler or that boxer, you just fight ordinary goons in order to build meter for a tag attack….Batgirls DLC ironically allows physical contact with Joker and Quinn haha, otherwise you click a button to take down Jason Todd, you fight goons in a normal battle to beat Croc, you “fight” Deathstroke in a damn tank battle…Fuckin ManBat and Firefly, you don’t fight them AT ALL!!! Boss battles in this game SUCK!!! the so-called boss fights in this game were WEAK….the rest of the game, A+ (well, story is kinda meh, but gameplay is good) Arkham Origins across the board does boss battles the best in the series BY FAR. Mr Freeze from Arkham City is of course nice, but if you want ACTUAL boss FIGHTS, unique fights where you actually….ugh nevermind, I’m done shitting on Arkham Knight, but if you want the best bosses, play Origins….Mr Freeze is great, but Arkham City wasn’t the gold standard for boss battles, they’re okay between Asylum and City but Origins easily takes the cake in bosses Order of Arkham games with best bosses ranked 1. Arkham Origins 2. Arkham City 3. Arkham Asylum 4. Arkham Origins: Blackgate (yes, the Deadshot encounter and Bronze Tiger and Catwoman and even the Solomon Grundy encounters made for better overall boss experiences lmao) 5. Arkham Knight…..it’s sadly the worst, when it SHOULDVE been the best in this regard, especially with WB Montreal laying some ground work on how to handle one on one duels (the free-flow style combat system don’t exactly lend itself well to these types of fights)….WB Montreal DIDNT exactly reinvent the wheel or recreate sliced bread with the boss fights from Origins, but they were handled overall quite well, I just would’ve preferred the Bane, Croc and Shiva fight to have stayed 1-1 fights, rather than have multiple thugs to also have to deal with….Arkham Knight didn’t try ANYTHING!!! lol I respect your opinion, but this video annoys me haha, I LOVED this game, and I guess due to my overall love for the game, it makes me even more angry with it for the lack of creativity with its boss fights
There are 3 fights against Jason: 1. Cloudburst tank (extremely boring) 2. Drill Machine (essentially a race track maze, but still more fun than the above) 3. Red Hood (one of my favorite fights in this game, but it makes absolutely no sense that Jason would try to fight you with a gun, rather than just hand to hand where he could probably win, or even just ALSO use stealth rather than be up at an obvious stand point and have a few useless goons fight you instead)
yup, been told this a bunch and I agree 100%. I never tried it til my most recent playthrough but it turns every decently challenging Batmobile section into a cakewalk.
Am I the only who thinks all the boss fights sucked? It's like Rocksteady thought they were too good for classic video games tropes such as boss fights or something
I personally love arkham city the most because I grew up with it and love the story but knight has such good gameplay, graphics, open world and just replay ability in general. 2 best superhero games ever
To be honest, I think cloudburst is better than a deathstroke because it has more uniqueness to it because of the hit and runs, but the death stroke is just hit hit hit hit done
Y'all slandering my man Eddie smh /j. However I do actually like seeing a boss fight video where people aren't biased by their (rightful) loathing of the 100+ Riddler Trophies you have to get in order to just engage in combat. It's relieving, because the boss fight itself is actually really good.
Jack here, and I totally agree with you. I actually enjoyed the Riddler side quest in Knight, and his Mech was just a cherry on top. City is… well, a different story. Terrible quest, disappointing “boss.”
@@Cytonox I haven't done the riddler stuff in city (well tbf I sorta skipped it) and from what I've seen in let's plays it isn't that fun. Thought in Knight it was fun, I just wish the riddler goons were more common
FWIW the unmanned drones was literally explained in the gunship fight, that being Todd wanted Batman to go all out instead of hiding behind his rule. Almost certainly an attempt to get Batman to tire himself out and mess up
It pisses me off that deathstroke was so lame it was way too easy to win and it sucks because with each base you take on he hypes it up like it’s going to be a Arkham origins deathstroke fight but nope “more bat mobile isn’t that your favorite?! Why aren’t you having fun yet?! Answer Me!”
I just have to give you some crap here - I absolutely LOATHE the excavator! LOL It's not that I hate the Batmobile, I just hate that sequence so much. It jumps the shark so hard for me. But y'all did a great video on one of my favorite games - off to watch the others now!
I mean yeah but the point wasn’t there should’ve been humans in tanks for the sake of it, rather there should have been a point in the game where Arkham Knight forces Batman to break his morals and kill by putting his own militia in the tanks as like a last defense type scenario.
Speaking of Arkham Knight, the Riddler boss battle is the best in the game imo, because it has a long build up and it's always entertaining to make Riddler rage. My only gripe with it is that it's over way too fast. You handle those droid waves in zero time. The mech's laser is so easy to dodge, it might as well be non-existent. I think it should've been utilized in a more effective way. I'd prefer a much more challenging number of droids or a lot more rounds. I remember the Solomon Grundy fight in City was kinda difficult me, but nothing beats Poison Ivy fight on hard mode in Asylum, that shit was crazy.
This game is a fairly good game. But don’t get me wrong, the tank battles are too much. If the devs did a like 3 tank battle that’s acceptable it’s the rule of 3. But I was so disappointed with the Arkham Knight villain, I was able to tell who he was far before he even revealed himself.
Honestly none of the bosses in this game are good. They’re just normal encounters with a bit of added spice. The only interesting one was the tunnel chase with the Arkham Knight because it was entirely unique and had no sign of reused assets or fighting trash mods - it’s a fun if unchallenging set piece.
The cloudburst is so easy to beat. Just use a few Wayne tech points on batmobile health and weapons and just drive right in front of the cloudburst and spam both weapons on the circle device for a few seconds and you win
what's worse about deathstroke's fight is that he constantly spits dialogue when you take down the militia towers on how he took down a tank with a broken arm, a shotgun l, and 1 shell. It would have been so cool if it alluded to him later to possibly be the second to destroy the bat mobile purely via his hands or skilled marksmanship. I could have imagined afterward you would be able to fight him hand to hand. Arkham knight did not do him justice ;-;
I’m with you, I think the tank should’ve led into a final short bit of his side mission that led into a place of some sort where you’d fight him 1 on 1.
@@Cytonox Exactly. Fight him in a tank battle like normal only for him to manage to disable the Batmobile and force you to either take his tank down similarly from on foot or just go into a hand to hand fight. Taking him down in a single move via cutscene is just insulting.
So…
Death stroke got a tank battle, and riddler got a fucking “hand to hand” fight
Yeah... I was hyped about fighting Death stroke... Then I climbed into the batmobile and realized my disappointment.
It's evolving just backwards

I actually shook him off before his bar depleted once. I do not remember how, but I remember that when I did, the bar just emptied automatically.
Its called a 'challenge' as compared to the fairly easy bosses of the rest of the game

he is very skilled, fast , strong and smart
the hand to hand combat is the main reason Arkham origins is my favourite game out of the series it works really well upon that
also one if the few villains that respect batman
With the riddler mech, when he puts his hand on the ground he is trying to recharge his robots
This dosnt excuse anything ab the fight bc a one in one hand to hand fight with deathstroke would’ve been way better especially with the upgraded fighting mechanics but I’ve always thought the end of the fight where they finally get out of the tanks is supposed to show how Batman’s become so much better at fighting that once they came face to face it was just a quick takedown.
Proffeser pyg team
In the riddler tunnel under the studio for some reason the cloudburst can’t enter there so go there to hide
I don’t know what Rocksteady was thinking with that Deathstroke fight
yeah nor do i, waste of potential
Someone at Rocksteady HQ: Hey, what if we made the cloudburst fight but slightly better?
14:28 no he was a riddle in asylum, an easter egg in city and maybe a riddle? And the rest is what you said
Arkham city is still my favorite
City is just so damn good. Mr. Freeze remains one of the best boss fights in gaming over a decade later
The good thing about the cloudburst boss is that once you take out all four vents, it checkpoints, ao that when you die, you come back with full health. What I usually do is just go nose to nose with it and spam the machine gun until it explodes.
that cloudburst tank moves like an M1 Abrams tank when it spots you. No way in hell should a tank be as fast as a batmobile.
' there is no way you're dying'
Yeah so I died more than once
Excavator was the hardest and my fav
I like the game but I do everything before cloudburst because it suck
You forgot the scarecrow nightmare challenges
Jack here, I’m on Xbox and those are PlayStation exclusive. I also don’t really count them as bosses to be honest, they’re sort of just existing level hazards over a varying AI boss fight, it’s set and just exists over say Red Hood where it’s set but varies in approach over repeating the same action as you do in the Scarecrow Challenges.
Arkham Knight had the best bosses across the board on average…..lmao DAYUM that’s a hot take…they’re easily the worst…they don’t even qualify as boss fights, I’d maybe call them boss “encounters” as in a scenario in which there’s a named NPC (Riddler, Killer Croc, Arkham Knight, Deathstroke, etc) that has to be taken down, but you never directly fight anyone, not even Killer Croc, Riddler or that boxer, you just fight ordinary goons in order to build meter for a tag attack….Batgirls DLC ironically allows physical contact with Joker and Quinn haha, otherwise you click a button to take down Jason Todd, you fight goons in a normal battle to beat Croc, you “fight” Deathstroke in a damn tank battle…Fuckin ManBat and Firefly, you don’t fight them AT ALL!!! Boss battles in this game SUCK!!! the so-called boss fights in this game were WEAK….the rest of the game, A+ (well, story is kinda meh, but gameplay is good)
Arkham Origins across the board does boss battles the best in the series BY FAR. Mr Freeze from Arkham City is of course nice, but if you want ACTUAL boss FIGHTS, unique fights where you actually….ugh nevermind, I’m done shitting on Arkham Knight, but if you want the best bosses, play Origins….Mr Freeze is great, but Arkham City wasn’t the gold standard for boss battles, they’re okay between Asylum and City but Origins easily takes the cake in bosses
Order of Arkham games with best bosses ranked
1. Arkham Origins
2. Arkham City
3. Arkham Asylum
4. Arkham Origins: Blackgate (yes, the Deadshot encounter and Bronze Tiger and Catwoman and even the Solomon Grundy encounters made for better overall boss experiences lmao)
5. Arkham Knight…..it’s sadly the worst, when it SHOULDVE been the best in this regard, especially with WB Montreal laying some ground work on how to handle one on one duels (the free-flow style combat system don’t exactly lend itself well to these types of fights)….WB Montreal DIDNT exactly reinvent the wheel or recreate sliced bread with the boss fights from Origins, but they were handled overall quite well, I just would’ve preferred the Bane, Croc and Shiva fight to have stayed 1-1 fights, rather than have multiple thugs to also have to deal with….Arkham Knight didn’t try ANYTHING!!!
lol I respect your opinion, but this video annoys me haha, I LOVED this game, and I guess due to my overall love for the game, it makes me even more angry with it for the lack of creativity with its boss fights
There are 3 fights against Jason:
1. Cloudburst tank (extremely boring)
2. Drill Machine (essentially a race track maze, but still more fun than the above)
3. Red Hood (one of my favorite fights in this game, but it makes absolutely no sense that Jason would try to fight you with a gun, rather than just hand to hand where he could probably win, or even just ALSO use stealth rather than be up at an obvious stand point and have a few useless goons fight you instead)
Perfect timing I’m playing through these games and I just finished them for the first time also u should rank the locations in Arkham asylum
best advice on the cobra tanks upgrade drone hack and weapons upgrade
yup, been told this a bunch and I agree 100%. I never tried it til my most recent playthrough but it turns every decently challenging Batmobile section into a cakewalk.
@@Cytonox plus it's so satisfying to sit back and let the tanks destroy each other
Here you dont even know what to call a boss, and what not, thats an achievement for the developers.
Btw the helicopter one was actually kind of fun
Am I the only who thinks all the boss fights sucked? It's like Rocksteady thought they were too good for classic video games tropes such as boss fights or something
I personally love arkham city the most because I grew up with it and love the story but knight has such good gameplay, graphics, open world and just replay ability in general. 2 best superhero games ever
Ngl I REALLY hated Arkham Knight drill because of how unfair the camera Could be
To be honest, I think cloudburst is better than a deathstroke because it has more uniqueness to it because of the hit and runs, but the death stroke is just hit hit hit hit done
Y'all slandering my man Eddie smh /j. However I do actually like seeing a boss fight video where people aren't biased by their (rightful) loathing of the 100+ Riddler Trophies you have to get in order to just engage in combat. It's relieving, because the boss fight itself is actually really good.
Jack here, and I totally agree with you. I actually enjoyed the Riddler side quest in Knight, and his Mech was just a cherry on top. City is… well, a different story. Terrible quest, disappointing “boss.”
the boss fight in knight is great, but dosent fit the character. it should be more outsmarting then outfighting, kinda like mr freeze in city
@@Cytonox I haven't done the riddler stuff in city (well tbf I sorta skipped it) and from what I've seen in let's plays it isn't that fun. Thought in Knight it was fun, I just wish the riddler goons were more common
Let’s be honest…..all the boss battles in Arkham Knight fucking sucked. The boss battles in Arkham origins were perfect.
Huh, I was expecting all the bosses to be the worst on this list... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE PLAYING AGAINST THEM!
FWIW the unmanned drones was literally explained in the gunship fight, that being Todd wanted Batman to go all out instead of hiding behind his rule. Almost certainly an attempt to get Batman to tire himself out and mess up
what about Mr. Freeze and Rachele ghoul.
It pisses me off that deathstroke was so lame it was way too easy to win and it sucks because with each base you take on he hypes it up like it’s going to be a Arkham origins deathstroke fight but nope “more bat mobile isn’t that your favorite?! Why aren’t you having fun yet?! Answer Me!”
let's be honest 80% of people hate the cloudburst tank boss
80% is an understatement
I just have to give you some crap here - I absolutely LOATHE the excavator! LOL It's not that I hate the Batmobile, I just hate that sequence so much. It jumps the shark so hard for me. But y'all did a great video on one of my favorite games - off to watch the others now!
You put death stroke in front of cloudburst!
The ACTUAL worst part of Deathstroke?
*WE HAD AN ACTUAL (AND FUCKING AMAZING) DEATHSTROKE FIGHT JUST 1 GAME AGO!*
Ok if he put people in the tanks then batman would use an emp thing to just cut of its power and not kill the pilot
I mean yeah but the point wasn’t there should’ve been humans in tanks for the sake of it, rather there should have been a point in the game where Arkham Knight forces Batman to break his morals and kill by putting his own militia in the tanks as like a last defense type scenario.
Speaking of Arkham Knight, the Riddler boss battle is the best in the game imo, because it has a long build up and it's always entertaining to make Riddler rage. My only gripe with it is that it's over way too fast. You handle those droid waves in zero time. The mech's laser is so easy to dodge, it might as well be non-existent. I think it should've been utilized in a more effective way. I'd prefer a much more challenging number of droids or a lot more rounds. I remember the Solomon Grundy fight in City was kinda difficult me, but nothing beats Poison Ivy fight on hard mode in Asylum, that shit was crazy.
Weakest boss lineup in the series. Such a disappointment.
This game is a fairly good game. But don’t get me wrong, the tank battles are too much. If the devs did a like 3 tank battle that’s acceptable it’s the rule of 3. But I was so disappointed with the Arkham Knight villain, I was able to tell who he was far before he even revealed himself.
Arkham Knight had the best bosses on average? Nah fam. That award goes to Origins. And City had the best boss fight in the series.
agreed, i was delusional. making remastered versions of these videos soon tho
17:34 Thank God it's gone!!!! Later: a spare?!?!?!
dude right I (Jack) love the Batmobile and think it was an extremely well made mechanic but they clinged onto it like a leech
Honestly none of the bosses in this game are good. They’re just normal encounters with a bit of added spice. The only interesting one was the tunnel chase with the Arkham Knight because it was entirely unique and had no sign of reused assets or fighting trash mods - it’s a fun if unchallenging set piece.
17:37 me seeing a friend I haven't seen in years
I fought that cloud burst tank and it toke an hour
The cloudburst is so easy to beat. Just use a few Wayne tech points on batmobile health and weapons and just drive right in front of the cloudburst and spam both weapons on the circle device for a few seconds and you win
what's worse about deathstroke's fight is that he constantly spits dialogue when you take down the militia towers on how he took down a tank with a broken arm, a shotgun l, and 1 shell.
It would have been so cool if it alluded to him later to possibly be the second to destroy the bat mobile purely via his hands or skilled marksmanship. I could have imagined afterward you would be able to fight him hand to hand. Arkham knight did not do him justice ;-;
I’m with you, I think the tank should’ve led into a final short bit of his side mission that led into a place of some sort where you’d fight him 1 on 1.
@@Cytonox Exactly. Fight him in a tank battle like normal only for him to manage to disable the Batmobile and force you to either take his tank down similarly from on foot or just go into a hand to hand fight. Taking him down in a single move via cutscene is just insulting.
I highly disagree with this list at some points. Great video anyways!
13:48 wait, Jason was going to gas those rooms? I left them so fast I didn't even notice.
How could I forget The Joker and Harley Quinn?! The best boss fight in the best DLC ‼
At least I can't completely ignore Pyg until I fill up a meter like the King fight, I'd switch the two personally
Looking back Pyg should be minimum #6.
The riddler's bots are pink?
Nice to see someone else who loves Arkham Knight and doesn’t immediately say it’s shit just because “ooh too much tank car”
innit
I really like the Cloudburst for all the reasons u mentioned. It is terrifying and I love it.
Riddler sucks just because of "do muh riddels" and the car bits
