Gotham Knights Fans Aren't Happy About the Gear Menu
This past week, Warner Bros. offered up the latest look at Gotham Knights, the co-op action game allowing players to control Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin. The 13-minute video offered a glimpse of several aspects ofGotham Knights that had been left unshown. One such aspect was the game's Gear menu. Perhaps it was shown too early, however, as some fans interested in Gotham Knights have taken issue with the menu's design.
A thread on the small, but growing Gotham Knights subreddit called attention to the gear menu shown in the recent Gotham Knights gameplay trailer. In a derogatory claim, Reddit user AdZealousideal6959 said that they «hate» Gotham Knights' gear menu because it looks like it's «from a mobile game.» The Reddit user didn't elaborate on their claim. They only provided an image taken from the trailer showing the gear menu and Nightwing's equipment and gear scores.
Gotham Knights References Character from the Animated Series
While the Reddit user didn't clarify their problem with the gear menu, their frustrations can likely be assumed. To start, it could be claimed that the menu is very basic. There are only three items listed in Nightwing's inventory, which are his Suit, Melee, and Ranged equipment. Further, the user interface elements are oversized, as if they're intended for fingertips rather than more precise controls. And, if there had to be another reason, it might be the values, like 214 for Power, 160 for Health, 460 for armor, and so on. The numbers do come across as disorienting rather than useful.
To be fair toGotham Knights, not everyone agreed with the sentiment by any means. The top comment in the Reddit thread says that they don't believe people really know what a mobile game is anymore.
