Unless the game is dependent on story like Telltale games, a mechanic-heavy game with better gameplay but a worse story will still be better than the reverse.

Paper Mario: TTYD's story is as dry as it comes, still better than Super Paper Mario.

>>92842681
>Outside of Joker turning himself into a big monster at the end because video games

Unfortunately, both Asylum and City have shitty endings. The Clayface final boss was really lame. Sure, it was surprising to see the healty Joker was just a double, but using Clayface as the final boss really came out of nowhere

>>92842830

If the gameplay difference is a slim one like between Mario 3 and Mario World then the argument always comes down to which game's aesthetics you like more

>>92842681
>>92842830
City's gameplay isn't even that much better, just altered more to suit the world style

>>92842929
I don't think it's unreasonable to claim that Mr. Freeze was the best boss in the series

>>92843009

It's too bad they couldn't top that, to the tune of doing it in every game afterwards

>>92842929
Many video games have shit final bosses and I think part of it comes from some realization companies made a long time ago that a high percentage of gamers drop games they play after a certain time span, so it leads to a ton of stuff having amazing beginnings, lackluster middles, and shit finales.

>>92843062

It's a shame, the final boss is always gonna stick with the person who beats the game, so you'd think you want to make sure it's strong

I can still to this day hum the bars of the Double Dragon 2 boss music because that boss was fucking satisfying

I can't forgive Arkham City for utterly wasting Hugo Strange in his one chance to actually be cool in a well-received and influential medium, and seriously mishandling Ra's as hard as they did with that irrelevant "Wonder City" bullshit. It might otherwise been a technically better game with stronger variety overall, but in terms of enjoying the ride from beginning to end where the plot is concerned, Asylum beat it's sequels by a mile.

I like button mashing, sure, but if you think any of the Batman games are top 10 in anyway, either from a story or gameplay perspective, you are just ignorant about video games, period. (And maybe comics)

>actually, he was just Ra's Al Ghul's lap dog who was completely dependent on his master for all the resources necessary for him to get as far as he did
That shit was almost as bad as the Iron Man 3 twist, only it let the Fu-Manchu archetype actually be the bad guy. I didn't really expect to throw down with Strange or anything (unless maybe they went down the "he's emulating Batman" route, which might have been either better or far worse than TITAN Joker)... But it would have at least been nice to know he had his own hidden agenda planned, like maybe he had a legit scheme to kill Batman, double cross Ra's, and become his successor to serve some higher end game. But no, instead he was just stabbed in the back for some bullshit anti-climatic plot "twist", and then The Joker stole the spotlight again, which by then was really just the pinch of salt in the wound that knocked Strange down from "disappointing" to "irrelevant" by the time the game's finally over.

>>92844063
At least he had cool audio tapes

>>92844063
Ra's had no reason to be involved with the finale beyond a soap opera esque shock twist because the developers/writers have no interesting philosophy to get across about Batman or Strange, they just need a quick way to wipe them out of the story so they can do the awful Joker portion (which should have been a new game+ alt ending)

Arkham City for sure gave us the best Catwoman.

I don't hate the Arkham games, I just realise they're not very good.

They're junk food like McDonalds, but /co/ and sometimes /v/ like to elevate them beyond that.

Like pic related - this shit character is introduced and I'm supposed to be sad Batmans girlfriend is dead or something

And yes I know who she is from the comic and cartoon, but why should I give a shit about THIS interpretation of her?

>>92844638
Because they're relying on you KNOWING about those interpretations because Dini isn't very intuitive in his writing.

>>92842013
I'm not entirely sure why but the Arkham series games have zero fucking appeal to me.

I think at the end of the day, the reason people love Asylum and to a greater extent City so much isn't their writing or even their gameplay, but the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Everything together- combat, characters, stories, and most of all atmosphere REALLY sell you on the whole "Batman simulator" thing. When you're zipping around Arkham, it becomes really easy to just feel like Batman.

I think that's why there was such a backlash against Knight - driving a battle tank doesn't "feel" like Batman.

>>92844638

That's part of the reason why I think Asylum is better

Asylum was plotted as a Batman game that could easily fit in with any knowledge of the character, that's why it had a bunch of references because you just assumed that at some point (for instance) Batman sword fought an immortal man bare-chested on desert sands like he did in the comics or the cartoon

Then they had to make it it's own universe and bring in their own edgier interpretations

>>92844691
Agreed. Dini hasn't worked out his quirks, as he has a clear problem going back to BTAS with writing Bane for example.

I don't believe for a second that the Asylum/City version of Bane EVER broke Batmans back.

>>92844693
>I'm not entirely sure why but the Arkham series games have zero fucking appeal to me.

>>92842134 >>92842606

Good fighting game, but gets boring soon.

>>92842426

A close contender, but being a movie tie-in product rest points in my book.

>>92842539

All of them, including Origins, do some things better and some worse. The perfect Batman game is hidden between all of them and the Splinter Cell series for the stealth.

>>92844013

Gameplay is not solely about the combat, and even then, the combat in Batman: Arkham is elegantly designed, i love it. It could be hard if the devs wanted it.

>>92844479

Good point, but not good enough to ruin the whole game.

>>92844623
I get that, but there is a deeper irony to the words, particularly in hamlet. Where the title character is so smart he's able to literally dazzle people with his words, insulting them right to their faces without them understanding the joke. It is quite literally demonstrated by a clever character that the statement is false. While the statement is uttered by a foolish character in an ironic fashion. The point is that wit is not derived from amount of words, but from the quality.

Do you really think that Shakespeare of all people was saying that a large amount of words means you are less witty? If so, he paints himself as the character who uttered the line.

You don't even know the half of it. Achievements require a budget and testing - its why cheat codes disappeared.

That's why so many villains suck in these games. That and Rocksteady's inability to make good boss fights.
For instance, I love Two-Face. He's one of my favourite Batman villains, but why the fuck should I care about the game version of him?
That particular version is a one-dimensional jobber with only basic traits of the character.
The game spends so much time on Joker, it forgets to put any effort into other characters.
I'm not asking for BTAS or TDK levels of character work in a videogame, but more characterization for the sake of making the universe feel more fleshed out would've been nice.

Is there any amount of... you know stealth in these games? Is it an important mechanic?

Cause when I think Batman I think guy who has to hide in the shadows, use gadgets, and use surprise and/or deception otherwise he's liable to get killed even by some mook, but this game seems to have him more in a pure brawler role and I don't think that interests me.

The stealth has some neat things that make it appealing: the thugs get more scared while you progress and they don't forget you exist as in MGS and Splinter Cell. By fixing some shitty levels where you enter through the main door, and removing the gargoyles, it would be perfect.

I love detective mode (it fits for the technology aspect of Batman), but i agree they should let to the player to put more input in the investigations.

Batman without a grappling gun?. I disagree, it's iconic to Batman and cool from a gameplay perspective, but there shouldn't be such stupidly obvious and stupid looking hiding spots in the levels. You should be forced to find your own and be creative.

because two-face wasn't the main antagonist of the game. he was more of just a side character and a device for a side mission. you were not suppose to care about him, you were suppose to care about the joker. each game is a story arch focusing on different subject not the entire universe.

Batman on NES was the first game that I didn't sleep while playing and I was like 5 or 6

Adventures of Batman and Robin on Genesis is the superior version of both though

What's the worst superhero game?

Aw dude, you missed out

That is one of the few games that Genesis had a better version of than SNES

Soundtrack, gameplay, graphics are all top tier

>>92846394
I've heard it's between Aquaman Battle For Atlantis, Superman 64 and Batman: Dark Tomorrow
Honorable mention goes to Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude, which isn't bad, but it's literally Sudoku.

>>92846394

Superman for the NES. I think it's worse than Superman 64, at least the latter one is fun for being bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NyWqiHQs7c

>>92845203
This is true. Penguin and Two-Face were very similar, personality-wise. Talia and Catwoman were also the same character. Clayface and Bane didn't have personality at all. Only Mr. Freeze had some characterization.

>>92846462
I love Superman NES

I literally had no idea what I was doing, but it was awesome all the same. Kind of a first open world game, but you play superman.

>>92846400

Genesis had better action, but the SNES one had the series music, fun plataforming and got the vibe of the series better. Both are good.

>>92846325
Cool. Maybe I'll give this series a try then. Which one should I play first.

Grundy, Freeze and Clayface were fun. And they got Deadshot right, killing you with one shot.

Yeah you'll want to use stealth. I forgot how it was in the previous games but I'm playing Knight right now and enemies will light you up with bullets if you go in brawling. You need to whittle their defenses down with stealth before even attempting to brawl.

I know boss fights like Mr. Freeze in City rely purely on stealth.

As he unknowingly awaits for the Batman's arrival at his hideout:

"Cogs? No, he'll work that out. I could steal that shark from Penguin. There's no way he could get past a shark, could he? No, it's got to be better that that. Too many variables. What if he has some kind of shark repellent? He'll get past it. Lasers? Yes. Lasers. Or dogs? Dogs with lasers? No. That's not good enough. Think harder, Edward. You can do this".

>>92847323

There's that one that was iOS for like a hot second

That game was pretty much exactly what a Superman game should be

>>92847323

I think not even current technology could do justice to some of his powers, like his speed. Also, if he's invulnerable, the game is boring, if he's not, you don't feel like playing as Superman.

Some good idea, i think, was that from Superman Returns of giving the health bar to Metropolis. We could start from there.

Origins actually became my favorite. Granted I played it 3 years after it came out when I bought it on Steam for $5. So most of the glitches and shit I think were patched out. Batman's early years are always more entertaining to me story wise. I liked the detective stuff a little more and it had the best batsuit out of the games.

>>92847908

>gameplay wise

The main story and the web slinging make it good, but the combat is no better than Arkham and the shitty repetitive random crimes kinda ruin the experience. Also, i don't recall a good bossfight.

I say it's a draw in the gameplay departament. Both represent the character well.

So much lost potential in that game. Looks and feels good a lot of the time but by the end it felt like a chore. Also felt like they just couldn't figure out how to actually design a game where you're Batman in Gotham as a living city so just copped out and made it only criminals again.

Let's play "spot the /v/ crossboarder"

>>92842562
>when it got to the glitch reset hallucination scene I legitimately panicked thinking something was wrong, leapt up and shut off the console

But that's the point Scarecrow can do generic scary stuff to scare Batman and characters within the game but he actually managed to scare you with a fear at that moment that was very real to you.

Those little things like that are what Dini and Rocksteady did that gave both City and Asylum these fucking really nice little touches that made them both so great.

>>92849931
>So much potential

I think the loose threads in City paint the idea that Dini had a radically different plot set out than what Rocksteady ended up going with.

>Hush - Relegated to a single mission that was just a cutscene
>Azreal - Sidequest
>Pregnant Harley - Scrapped altogether
>Ra's vanishing not mentioned until DLC
>Calander Man relegated to an easter egg in a cutscene (likely wouldn't have had a large impact, but could have easily had something what with the game being set on Halloween)

The Hush and Azreal elements really piss me off, as I feel they could have easily have been woven into the main story.

>>92848312
>They are fun to get
They're not though. The ones that actually make you solve a puzzle are fun to get, but most of them are just monotonous "blow up wall, get trophy" trophies. And each game adds a shitton of the monotonous ones.

>>92849947
>if you disagree with my shit taste, you must be /v/

>>92850584
I don't have autism but the riddler is my favorite bat villain so I felt obligated to complete his quests. The batmobile races were bullshit

>>92842615
It's the best combat and stealth but the game suffers from over using the batmobile if you remove most the tank battles and leave the initial tanks on bleake island, the cobra tank fight on miagami and then cloudburst on founders before the big attack on good at the end and replace all the other missions in the game with stealth and combat senarios it would be the best game in the series.

And about Selina, i managed to play her DLC only recently. I really expected more, she was fun to control but her sessions were like 5 minutes each and only focused on a non-story about collecting pointless shit. When i couldn't play as her i thought "wow, Ivy has an entire palace you can explore only as Catwoman, i wonder what's inside"... a two minutes fight against the usual inmates. I can't imagine how mad i would've been if i actually paid to play as her

I mean they pretty much have to do that because of the inclusion of the Batmobile. I dont want to have to worry about crashing into civilians while I'm zipping around the city.

>>92842615
It's an objectively well-made game. The Batmobile is fun to use and I can see why Rocksteady got so attached to it since they clearly spent a lot of time designing it. Problem is the Batmobile is shoehorned too much into the game. Batman can't do a fucking main mission without "MUH BATMOBILE!"

While I was playing the game I kept thinking to myself, "If a normie saw me playing this I could literally tell them the game is called Batman racing and they wouldn't bat an eye"

>>92851434
She appears when interacting with Batman but you never impersonate her, so Ivy is never mentioned and Two-face never reappers after you save Selina from him

>>92851701
That feels a bit lazy game-design-wise. It'd only be annoying with the way they had done Batmobile driving

>>92842562

*only on xbox 360

Scarecrow was pretty good in Knight and had several awesome lines. John Noble needs to voice Scarecrow more. And he had the calm but sinister tone that really suited Scarecrow.
It's just a shame they didn't involve him nearly enough in the actual game and was overshadowed by Joker and Jason.

City feels like a natural expansion from Asylum. Asylum is a great exploration of a singular, iconic location from the Batman mythos, City feels like you're getting a lot more because it lets you run around in Gotham itself.

And because of the villain takeover, Gotham maintains the atmosphere that the Asylum had, so it works all over the board.

In any case, I think the two go together perfectly.

Best superhero game ever. And much more difficult than Arkham games.

>>92842013
It's the worst of the trilogy. In scaling up from Asylum it loses much of what made Asylum so good, and has trouble handling many of it's new elements. Asylum is a tightly wrapped experience, it's tense, it's atmospheric, it's well paced. Every element works together.

Asylum's story isn't thematically interesting or anything, but it doesn't try to be, or need to be. It's an excuse to put as in Batman's shoes and have a series of Batman-y events happen in a thrilling manner. City tries to tell a genuinely interesting story, and it absolutely falls flat on it's face.

Asylum's pacing was very highly controlled, fitting the plot's tense nature. As you progress and events scale up, you gain access to more of the map, which is made up of mostly semi-linear maps with a very specific way you progress through them. The game knows exactly what you'll be doing and when you'll be doing it at pretty much every time. When the stakes are high, you move quickly. When things are less urgent, you have more time to explore. The atmosphere of whatever environment you're in matches the current tone of the story. But City is a sandbox game with sidequests. The map isn't as atmospheric, and the story isn't as focused. There's a plot thread about Batman dying from a poison and having hours to live, but the game encourages you to do a ton of new side quests between every story mission, so you have Batman constantly focusing on really low-priority things equally, completely breaking any sense of tension or urgency, creating a disconnect between the player's experience and Batman's as presented in the cutscenes, and ultimately taking you out of Batman's shoes.

The map isn't as atmospheric and well designed as the one in Asylum, the submaps are still there, but most of those aren't as memorable outside the underground city stuff and maybe the museum.

Though it's gliding mechanics are incredibly intuitive and fun, and it made some nice additions to stealth.

>>92850538

No, i want to see martial arts, Arkham delivers, Donte doesn't.

The combat it is perfectly designed: attacking and defense, that's all you need, elegant. It literally only needs to change the aggressivity of the enemies to be perfect, but not change it completely.

I still don't see arguments on your side, Ken Sama. Come up with a better way to fight Deadshot or shut your whore trap.

>>92844314
Don't forget that Arkham City was advertised as a Hugo Strange story and Assault on Arkham was advertised as a Suicide Squad movie.

On the other hand, outside of Mr. Freeze, the bosses in City are just as bad, and it has other weaknesses that also bring it down.

I gotta disagree senpai. The rooftop swinging and flying around alone made me love the game. So satisfying to be flying around then you drop on some goons from out of nowhere.

The first two Arkham games are quality, MVC is fun, the first two Infamous games were great, Prototype was fun, Spiderman 2 is nearly GOAT but they're not Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Keep being an idiot, which is expected of an Arkhamfag.
>Arkham delivers
If you have low standards.
> that's all you need, elegant.
No, retard. All you need is challenge. Arkhamshit combat will never be able to provide that. No matter how aggressive the goons are, they will always be predictable and every fight will be the exact same forgettable thing.
>I still don't see arguments on your side
Must have something to do with you being a complete idiot.
> Come up with a better way to fight Deadshot
Oh, I already did. You're just ignoring and screeching "weeb" like an autist you are. But go on, pretend a shitty puzzle and a QTE is a boss. Not like your shitty games capable of having good bosses anyway.

girls, girls, you're both very pretty

I mean, Freeze is one of the best boss fights of the last decade, but yeah the others are really weak.

>I dunno... just make Joker a giant monster or something
>I dunno... just make Joker into a giant monster or something... except it's Clayface
>I dunno... just make Joker into a giant mosnter or something... except the monster is actually within Batmans mind as he struggles to fight for control of his very being against the man who is both so different and so alike, all whilst being pumped full of toxins by the man who has just revealed Bruce Wayne to the entire world

Was pretty dope when he started using the sword in City though.

>>92860799
The only defense I can make of BamHam's combat is that it would feel weird to see Batman pull off sick combos a la Dante or Bayo.

>>92842189
Wew, totally forgot this

>make a slow and sluggish but powerful hero

Okay, it IS a pretty comic-booky game.

>>92844542
Yes

>>92860984
Look, it's not about combos. It's about it being very easy and enemies being the most predictable things in the world. They are never surprising. You just learn how to deal with an X type of enemy and rinse and repeat it the whole game.
There's a reason people like Freeze so much. He's lets you escape from all this monotone by making you think on your feet, especially on New Game+.
And yes, Arkham combat looks cool for about an hour or so. Then it goes on and on and on and it becomes monotonous and you feel like you're invincible even on hard difficulties.
If Arkham were straight-up stealth games, I'd like them much more. Stealth is always more fun.

>>92842013
Asylum was better. oh someone already beat me to it.
>>92842109

>>92858317

This. City was literally a dream game from my childhood come true. I'd always wanted a No Man's Land game.

>>92861350

Nah, I think it emulates very perfectly how Batman must feel when he's dealing with henchmen and thugs.

It actually gets pretty interesting when there's tons of different enemy types thrown into the mix.

>>92842013
I liked Asylum more.

>>92858412
At least it wasn't lazy as Arkham City's Poison Ivy "boss fight".
