These Video Game Side Missions SUCK!
2. Riddler Trophies - Batman: Arkham Knight
Now here's the thing, I absolutely adore the Rocksteady Arkham games. From inside the crusty skid row that was Asylum to the "why the hell would anyone want to live in Gotham, it looks like it's coated in crude oil" of Arkham Knight, it was a joy to soar through the rain and smash goons left, right and center.
However, there was one particular side mission that really pinched my tip and that was the Riddler Trophies.
*Phone Rings*
See, I knew this was gonna happen, I bet you anything it's going to be another person phoning up to complain that the Riddler Trophies were their favorite thing before even listening as to WHY I don't like this ONE specific instance of them. You know what? I'm gonna say something.
"Hello, Dial-A-!*$%? Jules speaking, now listen here you little rotter, I've tried being nice in the past on these calls, and I've tried being as pleasant as my baldness will allow even though I'm angry at God himself each and every bloody day, but you have pissed in my pocket one too many times my friend, so listen. I love the concept of the Riddler Trophies and I really enjoyed finding them in Asylum, but when it went open world the sheer number of them became an experience that was utterly tedious, and then in Knight? My God man, adding even more AND driving sections? Did I punch your nan in a previous life? Why do you hate me so? And what was it all for? Some bloody phone call that you didn't even get to witness first hand AND GATING THE SECRET ENDING BEHIND IT? ARE YOU MAD?
"So, yes, the concept is good but I would rather let a scorpion use my ballbag for target practice than collect all of them in the final game. OK?"
You get the point right?
