Ferry stones weren't as numerous as they are in the updated game. He mentions how few you got in the review. You can buy them now but that was not the case originally. They were just a drop after some quests.

As for the AI. The AI was not perfect, it was unique and worked well. However it was still faulty.

On several occasions I would use a bullista and my pawns would run between me and my enemy. This even happened on the red dragon fight. Another instance where I had to get me and my pawns past a couple giants while enemies shot us with balistas. I had no option from what I remember to have them follow me without engaging. They died nonestop, when I revived, they engaged again. I tried doing the side objective while they were down but I couldn't solo a horde of enemies.

My point, all my frustration in this game was from the pawns. Otherwise great game. To say it is perfect is lying.

Rant on score past here. Tldr: get over the fucking score.

Joe was doing his job in pointing out potential annoyances so the audience can know before buying. You may disagree with him but he has points that will apply to a ton of people. Maybe not to you but there are people like Joe who will experience the fucking game like Joe.

If you like the game, if you own the game. Don't waste your time watching a review, the review is not for you.

Forget the fucking score. Imagine the score doesn't exist. The score is a represention of the reviewers experience. The numbers are meaningless. Focus on the points presented(and you have), and determine if those points will drive you to buy the game or not.

Maybe a reviewer says, "Arkham knight makes you use the batmobile too much" and makes it out to be a bad thing. Does it matter that he didn't like it? No, the only thing that matters in that statement is "the batmobile is used a lot". Determine for yourself if that statement is good to you. Forget how that was represented in the score. It doesn't matter.
