New Game + makes this game so much better. You get all the gadgets and all the combat notifications are turned off, plus the knightfall difficulty makes it that much more challenging. Read more

They should at least give reasons for why batman wouldn’t have access to all of his gadgets. I don’t ever recall a time in the comics where batman went into a situation unprepared missing a gadget he would later need. Read more

...up the difficult. This is why games give the option! After the last three Arkham games, we’re all experts in the combat system — No need ot play on Easy or Normal. Read more

It’s been a long time since I played a game that was so well made but at the same time felt so by-the-numbers. I really felt like I was just going through the motions from the moment I started the game to the moment I stopped playing. The world was visually stunning, yet I never once felt truly immersed. The gadgets… Read more

I find it kind of odd you can completely miss the ice grenade because it doesn’t seem to be pointed out to you at all, unless the camera rolled by it in a cutscene and I missed it. Read more

I’m currently playing Arkham Origins and I definitely found myself wishing for the Rent-A-Gadget shop from Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

“How do I reach these criiiiminals?!?” Read more

200% completion here. Get in NG+ and try that punchy punchy, it wont end well. I never say “play it on the hardest mode for the true experience” but that sounds like what you want and NG+ makes it automatically “knightmare” mode. I found myself utilizing EVERY damn gadget in my arsenal. Especially the fully upgraded… Read more

Hah! I’d noticed a gap in my inventory and it wasn’t until I was wandering around Panessa Studios that I found them (you need them for a few Riddler challenges). Read more

You pretty much outlined why I’m enjoying New Game+ more than my first play through. Just wish I could turn the difficulty down for the Cobra/Cloudburst battle. That segment left such a bad taste in my mouth that it has caused me to start hating tanks in general. Read more

I completely agree. Don’t get me wrong - I love Arkham Knight, but Batman’s punchy-punchy-ness is so ridiculously overpowered that I saw absolutely no point in using his gadgets other than in challenges (so I could get a higher Gadget Variation bonus). I mean, I appreciate that Rocksteady gave me half a dozen new ways… Read more

Easily the worst game in the series, hands down. Totally homogenized. Read more

I’ve long believed that abandoning FMV for the allure of polygonal puppetry was a huge mistake that would eventually get corrected. I applaud the end of the Age of Half-Life-ism. Read more

This is my favorite live action insert in a game. This was the best of the TV shows in MGS4, mostly for the last line. I liked the David Hayter interview, too, but if there was going to be an official video to watch, it should be this one.

Her Story is my favourite game of 2015 so far.
Not too relevant, but eh, shows there’s a place for this FMV malarky. Read more

‘Keep Talking’ is one of the games that made me genuinely excited for VR. Glad to see Sony realise that and pick it up for Morpheus as well. Read more

Your comment suggests that the “class war” between PC and console gamers has ended. Have you read the comments section for any PC-related article on Kotaku lately? Read more

It would seem like the title of this article is a bit of a misnomer. From your article: Read more

Not true at all. Watch Sony’s GDC presentation from 2014 (below) to see exactly what issues need to be addressed. Simply porting an existing game over to VR is a recipe for motion sickness and failure (that’s what they did for Dead Rising, for example, it didn’t go over that well). VR is an entirely new medium, and…

I know you can’t really talk about it, but any technology that changes the way that people can experience porn is never going to be just a fad.
