Yeah, kind of a shame it turned into open world slop with the sequels though.
Arkham asylum is open world. Just smaller and less ambitious than city
>Arkham asylum is open world.
Yep
Yes
That's not origins.
>*rigins
Shit taste spotted. Origins is trash.
Origins has literally the best boss fights in the series.
And?
Origins is overhated but not at all the best.
Better than Knight. About on par with City.
Knight is better even with its shit story and the batmobile.
Knight isn't bad but it's the only one that dances that line of almost being shit.
>shit story
Except for Asylum they all have shit stories and even then Asylum gets away with having a very basic one.
City was fine until the plot twist about Strange and the odd moronic moments here and there. It never just went to pure shit like Knight did.
>Oh no, Hugo mentions this super bad sounding protocol. I have to stop him.
>I have this tool with me that allows me to get data from the helicopters flying around literally everywhere to go get access to his tower
>Buuuut instead of doing that immediately let me go see what my gay lover The Jokster is doing
>OH NOOOOO THE JOKER BABY GAVE ME AIDS
>NOW I HAVE TO GO SPEND 90% OF THE GAMES RUN TIME FINDING THE CURE FOR AIDS INSTEAD OF THAT OTHER THING I SHOULD BE DOING
I love City.
But the core plot is moronic side-tracking that has a very flimsly reason to exist in the first place.
To be fair, he wasn't going to get anything done against Strange if he died of Joker AIDS
His point is that he could have gone up to wonder tower first because the cryptographic sequencer lets him gain access to Tyger security stations. We see this at the start of the game when he takes a chip off of one of the guards, but he just never decides to do this to the helicopters until the very end for some reason.
There's also the implication that some higher ups on the police force knew what Protocol Ten was the entire time, but somehow Bruce didn't have this information despite working with Gordon, who was at the meeting about it.
He had no reason to visit the Joker to begin with is the issue. The game justifies it with Batman going "Well, Joker is always doing bullshit so may as well" but that is such moronic thinking, made even further moronic by the fact that even by the games own narrative Joker had nothing to do with the main plot and basically goes "Yeah, I don't know why the frick you're even here. Here's some AIDS though while you're in the neighborhood".
It's a 10 hour story that would've been solved in 2 if Batman wasn't an idiot.
The really dumb part is that the game tells you its because he thinks Joker knows about Protocol 10 for some reason.
Honest to god just watched the scene to try and figure out his reasoning. He just jumps out of the exploding church tower and bluntly concludes "Joker's behind this." IS HE STUPID?
See
His lead on Joker comes from catwoman's intel + following up on the bullet shot at him during their meeting. Joker's men are in the church and he literally appears on screens left by the rifle to mock Batman.
Seriously, how are you this stupid? Please stop breathing.
Has Joker ever teamed up with another villian that didn't get shafted? Thinking about it is pretty dumb for batman to think strange would work with joker.
stop posting, you're moronic
see
That doesn't answer my question, I'm asking if there's a point in capeshit comics (I don't read much comics) or other media that has Joker working with someone else but also didn't frick his partner over. Joker doesn't seem like the type of guy to work with anyone with good intentions. I can't really see strange wilfully putting is trust to some fricking crazy clown.
After Batman gets his suit back, first thing he does is hack into the comms of the TYGER guards to find out what Strange's plan is. While listening in on them, he hears that Catwoman is about to be killed by Twoface, so gets distracted by this situation and goes to save her. While saving her, she hints that Joker is involved with Strange's plan, and Joker also just happens to try and snipe both Batman and Catwoman while they talk. This is why Joker becomes his top lead. Once he gets aids, the priorities shift because he's dying.
How are people getting filtered by a fricking capeshit story? Literal fricking morons.
>No, it's okay that he didn't just do the think that would give him immidiate access to Hugo in the first place because Catwoman told him to
That's really fricking dumb anon.
Remember: At the climax of the game he managed to get all the bullshit he needed to get to Strange by simply hacking some helicopters with one of the very first tolls the game gives you.
Even if he did believe Catwoman (which just by her character is something Batman should have been dubious about from the start) why didn't he just, you know, do the very easy thing he could have done at any moment?
>While saving her, she hints that Joker is involved with Strange's plan
No he doesn't. He just jumps to a stupid conclusion because Joker showed up and tried killing Selina. Nothing at the courthouse implied that Joker was involved with Protocol 10. Bruce just assumes he is after the church explodes.vgtdt
What a moronic thing to whine about.
Knight is fixed now, did a Replay recently and it plays like a different game then on launch.
Even the cartank missions arent as bad anymore.
I honestly like knight outside of the boss battles
Least controversial opinion on V award goes to...
*webs your path*
You could have at least posted Ultimate Spider-Man
Web of Shadows is maximum SOVL and everyone can see it after the pathetic imitation that was Marvel's Sony's Tom Holland 2
Cool idea undermined by too many samey missions and side quests.
The fact that symbiote and/or regular upgrades actually effect combat is what saves it.
good combat but voice acting is trash, there are games that are better overall
Close
yup. shame they didnt make a superman game instead of SS.
Did this end up being fake? I remember the "leaks" about this then nothing happened.
>Is this fake?
>comic sans
>Superman model from Injustice
What do you think, moron?
I wouldn't know, I never played that game. I've barely even looked at it.
You can't mean Asylum specifically, because its very barebones next to even the first sequel
You play it for the story and then move on, where the others have enough meat to have you mucking around with challenge modes for some time
>You can't mean Asylum specifically
Well I do, because it is the best.
knight > city > asylum
This is such peak Ganker contrainism I can't even be mad.
It's so simple but this post is the core essence of this board.
Your so lost in Ganker contrarianism that you don’t see the irony in your own post. That order is hands down the general “consensus” among normies. It’s the coldest possible Batman take and here you are calling it contrarian.
Arkham Asylum
>Metacritic User Score: 8.8
>Steam Score: Overwhelmingly Positive
Arkham City
>Metacritic User Score: 8.8
>Steam Score: Overwhelmingly Positive
Arkham Knight
>Metacritic User Score: 8.1
>Steam Score: Very Positive
In conclusion you are experiencing typical Ganker contrarian delusions like when Ganker tries to argue games like Skyrim or Last of Us 2 bombed.
last of us 2 did bomb though, drunkman got replaced as lead at naughty
I hate LOU2 too but just because something is shit doesn't mean normies won't buy it en masse.
they didnt though, Elden Ring sold 19 mill compare that to LOU2, even LOU1 did better
>Multiplat game does better than console exclusive
Damn, anon. Next your gonna freak out over the sky being blue.
>LOU1 did better
That is actually more relevant and provides some evidence to your case, alright.
Why did people like Knight a lot less than City?
Batmobile was ass.
I thought it felt and sounded great to roar around in (outside of tank mode at least, that felt like a big gimmick)
It was just overused, whole dungeons revolving around getting it into absurd places was taking the piss
>Literal tank controls hogging half the game
>Riddler sections going full Ubisoft in terms of being a bloated mess
>Selina spends the whole game locked up in a cell
>Scarecrow doesn’t do anything cool like he did in Asylum
>The guy we all knew who was the Arkham Knight turns out to be the Arkham Knight despite the devs trying to tell else its not him we swear guys
>General Joker Fatigue (I will say I thought he was handled well in this game)
Knight Joker was a lot better than City Joker hogging the finale of City (just because Hamill wanted to retire from the character only to change his mind after realizing that they would just hire someone else) or cucking Black Mask out of his game in Origins.
spends the whole game locked up in a cell
Good, frick her. Her sections in City were terrible and I'm glad she didn't have any playable sections in that game.
Did anyone else feel obliged to figure out how exactly they would describe what they were seeing to guide Catwoman to the correct key
>he doesn’t understand that comparing aggregate reviews for games released years apart is meaningless
It’s common sense but I guess not everyone has it. Just a quick example: Game A comes out and is innovative for time and this gets very high rating bc people are impressed; Game B comes out years later and is better in ever way, which people agree about, but still scores lower because it doesn’t wow consumers.
These aggregated scores weren’t made for comparison and thus shouldn’t be compared. I understand this is contrary to everything Ganker stand for but it is pretty obvious why. If you actually listen to how people discuss these games you wouldn’t understand Knight is the normie champ.
Every person I've ever spoke to about this game including outside Ganker generally has agreed that:
>It's great but the Batmobile is overused
>Red Hood was a really obvious twist
>Red Hood is always cool so it's fine
This is as normie a take you can get with the game.
yep
knight >= city >= asylum
Knight has the best gameplay and graphics. Asylum has the best story, pacing, atmosphere, and world design. Where does City shine?
World building
>that fear gas section where the game makes you think your game got corrupted or something
spooked the frick out of me when I was a teen playing it back in the day at like 2am
How does Batman do it?
By being the absolute prime alpha chad of the planet?
He's handsome as frick, he's ripped, he's super wealthy, and he PROVES himself superior to all other men by consistently BEATING THE SHIT out of every man who challenges him
Chad genes
You forgot Vicki and Barbara. Probably Ivy, too.
>Barbara
Dini is one of the Arkham writers so yes, Barbara.
Dini only gets off to men dressed up as Batman fricking his wife cosplaying as Zatanna.
he is a handsome, genius, literally peak physical performance gigachad and rich as frick, he could be a stuttering turboautist and he'd still pull dozens of stacies by existing
This thread has taught me that not only are people too moronic to follow a capeshit story aimed at 12 year olds, but also that these same people somehow think it's acceptable to share their opinions when they're too fricking vacuous to understand a children's story.
Honestly, as much as City and Knight's stories went off the rails they are still far better than the nonsense plot of the most recent Batman movie.
I like City's expansion of the formula better, but this game hits the comic book feel the best of any game. I want a Superman game
City loses me when it has rubble conveniently drop on top of Bruce to trap him right as he finally has (whom he thinks is) Joker at his mercy just so the tables can turn
And I have no clue why Talia actually goes through with walking out with Joker instead of just shanking him the moment he's got the knife away from Bruce's face
Yeah she could have just attack him right there, what the frick was the point in leaving with Joker just to try and kill him at the theater?
Talia wanted to make Bruce jealous by stealing the other love of his life
I don't even get why Batman needed to get so grimdark and serious when the whole premise is some dude in a bat costume beating up a clown.
Oh and apparently Asylum AND City take place before the turn of the millennium
Even though smart phones exist, including during Origins which is set like a decade earlier
Batman universe is at its best when it combines old timey American city with bullshit bat-technology.
This got retconned. Knight takes place in 2015 and City is only 9 months before that.
They retconned it themselves when not-Joker references the end of Lost
True, although Arkham City is better.
>Joker is talking shit on TikTok again.
>I'm going to have to make ANOTHER reply vid. Well at least this shit is good for subs.
Batman should spend less time on the internet
I guess they shifted the entirety of the Gotham City blocks to the middle of the huge lake-river at some point? Don't say that Gothamites aren't industrious
Perfect Batman game would be a day cycle for Bruce and a night cycle for Batman. You'd have to manage detective work, running a business/R&D, and actual crimebusting (plus being a playboy). I'd probably make it where you can focus on one at a time while having to deal with Gordon, Fox and Robin.
I imagined an alt-campaign for Knight where you're playing as Bruce and the city is actually populated and alive, but if you get too close to the street it acts like falling into the water, so you have to navigate rooftops while avoiding being seen by the normies
Except for the finale where you're actually beating the shit out of one of the villains in full view of a hundred people with their phones out
Who the frick wants to play a Batman game for the Bruce Wayne segments?
It's like saying you want a Spider-Man game where you play as Peter Parker taking pictures on the street for the Daily Bugle to pay for rent.
To be fair... the pizza delivery sections were the best parts of the og Spider-man 2
Yeah but that was still done as Spider-Man.
I don't think anyone would've enjoyed it if you had to drive a moped through the streets of NYC on a time limit.
Think taxi missions from the older GTAs but shittier.
Bruce Wayne just doing business and slaying puss as he scopes out the criminal underworld and does detective shit would be kino
>It's like saying you want a Spider-Man game where you play as Peter Parker taking pictures on the street for the Daily Bugle to pay for rent.
Provided I can upgrade my apartment with my profits, yeah.
>Peter Parker taking pictures on the street for the Daily Bugle
The OG Spiderman 2 had those exact side-missions and it was neat.
It helped a lot that they were desighned to make use of Spidey's mobility.
Origins is better.
BatJoker > Scarecrow glitch > Freeze fight
Asylum > Tight openworld > Bloated openworld
The Joker AIDS subplot in City hinges on Batman being an absolute moron who lets Joker get the jump on him.
Yeah the story-beats are full of moments that made me think 'I would have seen and dodged that easy if it had taken place in normal gameplay'
Cutscene Bats is a lot more clumsy and inattentive than player-controlled Bats
I read a comic where Batman has to solve a riddle where he only gets one clue for every generation so it was him, Dick, Damian, and Terry all trying to solve the riddle during their respective tenures ad Batman and I think that would make for a good game
We will never get a Beyond game because it requires the events of the Arkham games to align with that of the DCAU. So stop asking
>not City
Would the death penalty solve all of Gotham's problems or does it need to be nuked?
The fact that no major villain has died his self defense says plot hole.
