I am incredibly happy to say that the Arkham franchise has not only DIED, but it has left no legacy on video games as of 2025.

The ones on the right all have better stories though.

You're wrong. There's a fuckton of games with batman combat even to those day because it's braindead and appeals to normalfags

>>712777798

I'm phoneposting from the toilet

>>712777479 (OP)
And even then the stories in Japanese games are way better because they're not trying to teach you about the patriarchy and how Trump is genociding trannies.

>>712777798
The batman combat is done (thank god), we will never have to stomach another game with automatic 1 button combat again, even westerners are copying better combat systems from Japan now instead.

>>712777479 (OP)
Stop posting the same bait. It isn't impressive to get retards to fall for it.

I always go in to the games on the right thinking I’m going to learn all their mechanics and master it and just end up doing simple combos and barely even scratch the surface. Shit I couldn’t even figure out horizon forbidden wests trap mechanics properly..

did god hand get any ports? how do i play it on switch?

Should have got a PC nintentoddler

Otherwise we would be stuck with BAMHAM combat to this day.

>>712779082
It hasn't been ported to PC, no way I'm gonna waste time setting up emulator folders/settings

what's bamham?

You nintentoddlers are fucking pathetic jesus. Basically women.

ev&oe arkham combat is parry roll slop with a larger i-frame window

thank you japan

The Japanese, unfortunately, don't have the spatial awareness for FPS games.

>JRPG has a basic rock pushing puzzle in a dungeon, doesn't tell you what to do just expects you to do it yourself since it's baby tier puzzle solving
Now let's see how the same puzzle would play out in a western game
>Hey MC did you see that boulder over there I bet you can push it
>Hey there seems to be a pressure plate over there. Maybe if you push this boulder onto it something will happen

are you pretending botw puzzles any better?

>>712782330
Absolutely, that's what I said

>>712777798
I mean it used to be the case.

Fuck batman, what we need is more games with nemesis system.

>>712783170
Hasn't been the case for like 7 years

>>712782330
By the simple metric of not telling you what to do. Yes.
>but both are for babies
Yes, but only one of them tells you how to clear it like you're mentally stunted and it's not the one on the same system as Bing Bing Wahoo man.

>>712784048
take that back

>>712784143
You only hate it because it's true

>>712783302
The fact they didn't do a Batman game with the Nemesis system is a shame

>>712779868
Better than Arkham sloppa.

>one button combat
You do not just press square/X. It is important to counter attacks with triangle/Y and you can stun enemies with circle/B. It is also important to evade by pressing cross/A. You can also quickfire certain gadgets. These are expanded upon in Arkham City. The real problems in the Arkham games are the cinematic story things like when you're suddenly walking while Batman talks to someone in his batphone.

>>712777479 (OP)
It wasn't too bad back then. Publishers just had too much decision power over the end product so devs were forced to design the campaigns to be piss easy so the CINEMATIC-obsessed gaming journalists at the time would rate it highly as per publisher demands. The actual gameplay was instead hidden in the challenge maps, in the predator challenges more so than the combat ones.
It's different since the late 2010s though, where CINEMATIC-obsessed gaming journalists were replaced by ones that suck even more because they expect tranny glazing of some sort. Also the powerless devs that still wanted to bring fun gameplay into a game in some way ended up being fired for being white males and not being "diverse" enough.

>>712786783
I am not at all impressed by the things you are mentioning.

Post a gameplay webm instead then

>The actual gameplay was instead hidden in the challenge maps, in the predator challenges more so than the combat ones.

Which isn't a good thing, especially when Arkham Knight has way too many. I thought City had too many characters, but I could easily see somebody getting 300+ hours out of Knight just by doing the campaign+challenges

jrpgs kinda suck tho see picrel

>>712787928
I think the music helped a lot. One thing that City did better than Arkham is the music. Arkham's music wasn't bad by any means and also reused some City tracks, but especially when it comes to the predator themes, City was simply better.

Western games? GAPED

This hurts zoomers brains

God of War and The Witcher 3 have bamham magnet combat. It's legacy is sadly still around.

>>712781485
Don't forget the very glaringly obvious trail marks left on the ground to signal the boulder has been pushed here before. And the boulders have yellow paint on them

But Arkham combat is way better and more fun than Soulshit combat.

i have said this many times you retards still fucking dont understand
compare jap gamey games to western gamey games like fucking apex or fortnite
you retards still cry over motion input in fighting games when street fighter pro momochi fucking filtered by apex
you think fucking darks souls build swap mid cutscene harder than building shits in fortnite? transition already fucking troons

>>712802115
based motion input rant, momochi getting clapped by apex just proves how wide the skill floor is for those games. you can’t autopilot a wall retake or boxfight your way through souls bosses. fortnite's building meta is closer to RTS than anything fromsoft ever made. smash players cry about one frame links, meanwhile 14-year-olds cranking 90s on 240hz monitors with perfect edit timing. absolute joke comparing them at this point. welcome to the mechanical hellscape.

>>712794391
>bunch of random flashy attacks when just mashing one button just the same job, but more efficient
