Media Batman: Arkham Knight

[Rambler]

Yeah, this doesn't have that much replay value to me like the others. I really have no desire to play thru it again like I have with the other games. There was alot I liked and alot I didnt. I just recently started another game of Origins because I haven't played it in a while. Maybe in time, I will have the desire to play AK again.

If Origins had Conroy then I would put it top of all games. I found it to have the best story of all games. I liked the slower free flow as I felt it matched the young Bruce being full of anger and I thought the free flow reflected a slower Batman who put more into strength as opposed to agility.

My issues with Origins begin and end with:
1.) the overall, buggy ****tiness that plagued an otherwise awesome game
2.) the way they handled that overall, buggy ****tiness that plagued an otherwise awesome game
3.) the ****ty, tacked on multiplayer
4.) the stupid ****ery that is "multiplayer trophies."

In terms of story, Origins is the best to me. Followed by Asylum, then City. Haven't played Knight yet.

I agree with all of this!

Like some other people, I do have more of a love for Origins since playing Knight, and I can't deny it has the strongest story of all the games and some great replay value too.

The only reason I'm still playing Knight is for all the DLC trickling out. If it wasn't for that, I think I'd have gone back to Origins or City again for a new play through of those. After having completed Kinght's story mode twice, I have no desire to play it again for a good long while.

I never experienced bugs in Origins. Well apart from grapple grabbing GCPD officers off building and them dropping to their invincible state of KO. I was part of the online beta for multiplayer. It had potential but played crap. I never bothered with it though.

Same with trophies. Really despise them things, play to enjoy not willy wave an online profile thing

I couldn't care less about anyone seeing my trophies. I just like to use them as a benchmark, when it comes to measuring my progress with a game, but I'm kind of OCD about having 100% completion on the Arkham Games, and the multiplayer bull**** really ****ed it up. As for the bugs, I never understood how people's first instinct is always to say, "well, I didn't experience any bugs." As though, somehow, that's all that matters. Forgive me, as it's probably a bit harsh, but it pisses me off that it's such a widespread mindset. Congratulations! You didn't encounter any bugs, but a lot of people did, and WB Montreal pretty much told them to go **** themselves.

Anyway, I apologize if I misread that, and it wasn't entirely directed at you, but it's a phrase I see so often with the connotation that "well, so what? My experience was fine," almost as though they're excusing WBM.

You wouldn't believe how many idiots were saying that about the PC version of Arkham Knight - which was completely broken at launch.

Oh, I've seen it, first hand. It's ridiculous.

 

[FSLAR]

that's almost unbelievable

 

[Deeznutz6]

This is the only batman game available for Ps4 right?

 

[Jameson Rook]

This is the only batman game available for Ps4 right?

No, there's Lego Batman as well.

 

[Solidus]

Oh, then AK is the only Batman game available on PS4 .

 

[Dead-Man]

there are rumors that Remastered editions of Asylum & City coming

 

[Solidus]

If you have them on PC, you don't have to wait for the remasters .

I cant criticise origins as I experienced alot more glitches in AK than AO. Amount of times knocked out goons floated or went weird was alot more than AO. Montreal gets a bum deal, especially considering the problems AK has. And its still the only game to have the batcave.

Im still unhappy about how small and forgetful 'Gotham city' is in AK. The talk of it being x times bigger than AC had me pumped, only to be disappointed how bland and repetative the tiny bit of Gotham we get to play in.

I've heard love stories of the PC ports, it's pretty impressive what the PC ports of the first two Arkham games were capable of. Then Arkham Knight happened as a sort of bastard, disappointing child between City and Origins.

I did see some glitches in AK, but nowhere near the amount of glitches I heard of. The game outright crashed, and some loading issues were bad. I still had it the worst in Origins though, but both games were undeniably glitchy. At least Knight was patched however.

Nothing can top the constant feeling of nostalgia and joy I had on my first playthrough of Asylum. There was such love put into that game with the trophies, character bios, everything. Remember the bench with a plaque about the Waynes, the medical wing that said 'donated by Bruce Wayne'? Such a great game to this day.

 

[Jameson Rook]

To me, Asylum is my favorite because it feels like a true Batman experience. The music, atmosphere and designs were so haunting and mesmerizing, and that scene where you glide trough the moonlight was such a player/character introspective moment that it might be some of my favorite scenes in gaming, ever.

 

[FSLAR]

Asylum and City are almost pretty different. Asylum feels like Metroidvania with progression and collecting the Riddler trophies, and is honestly the only game that got it right with Riddler. City is an open world game with a decent bit to do, and feels alive despite being a prison, and the faster pace is great, especially for the magnifique combat. Though I actually still like Asylum's slower pace at times.
