Arkham games

>>381781196
Origins is a bit flat and the problems Knight had at launch put me off the series for good.
Asylum was a good tech-demo tho and City nailed it.
I just wish in Knight they'd provide content for the other playables outside of batman, you're not even allowed to free-roam as any of them ever which is kinda shit.

>>381781196
>to be found in any medium?
BTAS through Beyond

>>381781196
Could be, yes. Asylum and City are definitely 10/10 games.

btw is the last one finally playable on PC ?

Arkham Origins has the best depiction of Bane ever, though. They even retroactively redeemed why he was so shit in Asylum and City.

>>381781624
Except for those shitty Batmobile 'boss battles'. The Mr Freeze boss battle in City was GOAT.

>>381781878

>>381781624
Hmm ok. It is just about 8€ on steam. I guess I will try it then. Is any of the DLC worth the time and money?

>>381782052
Most of it is skins, but the ones that add more side missions to the base game and the bonus campaigns are worth it.

>>381781196
Probably, especially Arkham City, that game was flawless in bringing to life the characters. Rocksteady also pulled off killing the Joker iin a way I never thought could be possible

BTAS is Batman. Arkham games do a decent job at incorporating all the elements from the comics, cartoon and movies tho.

Do Batman and Catwoman ever hook up in the comics?

I loved all the batman arkham games and I consider batman arkham city to be my number one most favorite game of all time.
city>knight>asylum>origins.

>>381782404
The white background + grey tones they used in these promotional artworks is literally GOAT

>>381782210
I originally thought the way that they decided to bring him back for Knight was shitty, but totally changed my mind once I experienced it. It worked really well with the story, and that whole nightmare type sequence towards the end where you play as him was fantastic.

>>381782404
>city>knight
I like you.

>>381781196
No, but close. Batman VR shows you a mirror after you put on the mask, which lets you dance around like a fag and Batman will be forced to mimic your moves.

This is the best adaptation in any medium.

>>381782194
>>381782052
All the character DLC's are utter shit, the only one with a little worth is the Batgirl "Matter of Family" one. Others are like 2-3 rooms of puzzles/fight arenas and they're over in less than an hour.

>>381782585

>>381782724
No. They're only worth it if you're literally saving money by buying them (which you are right now since the season pass is cheaper than season of infamy alone)

For a game that tried to put focus on it, Knight fucked up the Batfamily really badly. Dick was barely present in a game where you'd expect him to be a center focus, Tim was practically an OC, they spent so much time trying to hide the most obvious twist in the history of Batman that Jason got precious little actual exploration without the useless Knight obfuscation. The only one they got totally right was Gordon, hot damn did those games do a good Gordon. He's an underappreciated centerpiece of Batman.

Fuck off. Origins is the best/second best out of the series

>>381783013
>Dick was barely present in a game where you'd expect him to be a center focus,
What?

>>381782852
This is almost entirely unrelated, but Nora is voiced by Cissy Jones in Knight, who is legit one of my favourite voice actors despite how obscure she is, comparatively speaking.

I was more of a ayslum>knight fag until passed 35% the arkham knight game and discovered how cool the bat mobile was being used and it's mechanics. Kind of got addicting but those boss chases were not fun at all.

>>381783642
It's because INJ Nightwing got AK Red Hood's voice actor

>>381781529
Yeah, PC runs better than all the other platforms now. Too bad they couldn’t remove the tankmobile while they were at it. It's a damn shame because Knight definitely has the best Bat gameplay.

>>381783960
no

>>381783141
Batman is fretting over all his past choices coming back to haunt him. He's thinking hard about his legacy and desperately trying to protect his family. He's feeling his ties with everyone fray from the stress. He's presented with the real fear he'll die tonight, wondering if he's done right by the next generation and kept them safe.

And Dick is a sidequest where you dick over the fucking Penguin.

>>381784475
True. That adds to the confusion, but is less ridiculous since it's fucking Troy Baker who voices everyone anyway.

>>381781196
Yes because Paul Dini, the guy behind the 1990 Batman animated series wrote the three episodes.
The voice cast is almost impeccable and the atmosphere is truly great. My best part of all games was the Mister Freeze boss level in Arkham City, it was tense and really well made.

Easiest but thoughtfully made because you had to use all your techniques and gadgets learned during the game.

>>381784641
Bruce isn't coming to terms about him dying and pasting the torch, it's him coming to terms that his way of being Batman is not working anymore and he needs to evolve them because Gotham has changed, Dick role is small because the story is still very much about Batman as a character.

>>381785230
Were you playing on normal or something? Higher difficulties (and then NG+) require you to execute more unique takedowns. I think the highest is, like, nine.

>>381785515
Yes hard is nine or ten ways to beat him.

All the arkham games are great. I have yet to see a game with this amount of detail and great stories.

>>381786750
I liked the overall feel and atmosphere of Asylum where as it doesn't have quite the same impact in the second game
kind of like how bioshock 2 is a better game but the originality of 1 makes it the favorite

>>381787134
>Bioshock 2 is the better game
NANI

>>381787008
I'm also replaying Asylum on PC

how's it running for you? I maintain 60 but some sections get hella slowdown, like scarecrows second encounter

>>381787197
it's mechanics are better, it's levels are better designed
the thing that sets 1 apart is that it has the original concept and setting but gameplay wise it's behind 2
I thought 2's story was really good too but again, 1 overshadows it
but overall 2 is a better game

>>381787296
Didn't notice any stuttering really, but I didn't go with any MSAA even though I probably could have cranked it up so I have a bit of overhead. But it seems like a pretty crummy port compared to the other games in the sereis.

How did Superman feel about being NTRd?

He didn't like it, obviously but had to accept it. The story is that Lois is in love with Superman but also in love with Bruce Wayne.

Since "Bruce Wayne" is used purely as a facade for Batman to do his shit, and Superman prefers being Clark Kent, she won't want to be with either of them. That is until Clark reveals to her he's superman so she starts dripping for Kent's supercock.

Why use the Batmobile when glider mode exists, except for when the game forces you to?

I actually really liked Origins, despite it running on a shit engine and being buggy. I guess I liked the story and content of Origins, the gameplay was the same as Asylum and City, so it was good and not bogged down with tedious fucking batmobile stuff.

It also had Bane doing cool Bane stuff. It had a Batman that was still brash and angry. It had more Alfred. It had a pretty good line up of villains.

>No, not "may be." I am. When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice, that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins, because I am the reason criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So no, Alfred, I am not in over my head. Tonight will not be my end, but it will be theirs!

Why do they keep fucking Bane so much when adaptating him? God damn it, Comic Bane is great.
Even The Dark Knight Rises' Bane started off incredibly well, but then the Talia plot twist completely kills the character.

>>381794109
A ludicrous, but utterly predictable, predictable attempt at deduction. Do you not think that someone as intelligent and perceptive as Edward Nigma investigated all of Gotham's high-profile citizens first thing, to rule out the possibility of Batman being self-funded??? I have it on good authority that Nigma checked Wayne thoroughly and found him to be clean. Furthermore, he spends way too much time in the public eye to pull off nightly excursions as a masked vigilante. Honestly, shaved monkeys such as yourself should stick to your orders and try not to think too much. It's bad for your health.

Some stuff looks really good, mostly the level: they added rain in Arkham Asylum, and it looks neat.

Some looks worse, mostly the characters.

You should buy it only if you don't have them already in Steam.

To me, calling it "remaster" it's a wasted oportunity. They should have waited a few years more, or a new console gen, and actually remastered them: adding gameplay stuff from Knight and new ones, improving the bossbattles. Oh well.

Batman has a better chance of being Deathstroke in a tank than hand to hand.

>>381797745
which makes >>381797357 so much worse

>>381797040

No one should dare to defend the Deathstroke boss battle. But the batmobile itself was great excepting that.

>Still caring about LARPing Bat guy in 2017
When are they making a good game about our guy Superman?

>>381793601
Detective vision a.k.a. the quest compass? Yes what a great innovative feature

>>381795439
>tara strong
no thank you

>>381798312
Uh, no?

>>381798198

Sadly, never. How would you do a game that does justice to Supes great powers without:

>making him weak with kryptonite or some boring stull like that
>making it a boring Telltale movie about moral decisions

>>381798198
When Warner Bros puts out a good Superman movie

>>381798312

It was innovative, it stopped being so when other devs copied it.

>>381798435
bamham combat already makes you feel like superman so

When Superman can sell on the levels of Batman. Everything comes down to money and game developers don't think Superman is worth their money. Now be a good boy and go make a Superman jerk off thread on /co/ to make yourself feel better.

Why doesn't Batman save Freeze's wife?

>>381798435
Just make it about Darkseid or Black Adam. They rek Supes in a 1v1 but Supes usually wins with some shitty asspull.

>>381797745
That's why it's satisfying to beat him in hand to hand combat.

Eh???

>>381798198
Maybe in a few years.Maybe Rocksteady could make a good Superman game in a few years,I sure they have their own coontrol over the production of their game without WB fuck up everthing.

>all these niggas who like Origins
My bros

>>381798437
They have. He's a been a cinema icon for decades.
>>381798772
Sorry I don't go the /co/cksucker board.

>>381798437
>hasn't seen the Superman movies where Supes stands for honour, justice and the American Way
Fucking Snyder thirdies.

>>381798362
If you didn't pay attention to memes or 4chan you wouldn't give a shit who tara strong is.

>people now love Batman Arkham Batmobile and love the batmobile and thought it was implemented in a good way
What happened?

>>381799550
Tara Strong is a shit Harley Quinn. Deal with it, Tarafag.

Even the new VA for the upcoming Batman and Harley Quinn movie shits on Tara's awful, awful attempt to voice the character.

>>381799418
He does that in the new films aswell. He just has a rougher time getting it across because the world is much harsher then the Donner films, a reflection of our times really.

>>381799716
>tarafag

I don't give a shit about her, I just think she's an adequate harley.

Sorry your life is dominated by memes.

>>381799692

The batmobile was good. The hate came from the bad PC port.

>>381799716

Fuck off, /co/. Tara's voice is fine.

>>381799774
>if you dislike something it was because of memes, not because you actually dislike it
fucking kek
>>381799913
Yeah, fine as in whoever cast her should have to pay for the screw-up.

>>381799550
no I would because she first irritated me as sari sumdac in transformers animated before I started using 4chan

I really hate it how the end of Arkham Knight was TDKR. AGAIN. Can we please have a batman adaptation that doesn't end this way?

>>381800823
As if the rest of the game was so fucking creative when it was just a bizarre adaptation of under the hood
