It's far better than Arkham City.

>>714665996 (OP)
In the sense that one is bad and the other just mid.

Yes it's better. But it was made by a different dev so we can't fucking have it because it means Warner Bros would have to pay someone royalties.

>>714665996 (OP)
I prefer it over City for one simple reason: the map looks like an actual city, rather than a fucking gamified, theme park prison.
Plus the Christmas snowy setting is just pure comfiness

>>714666176
>so we can't fucking have it
works on my steam machine

>>714665996 (OP)
honestly, yes, mostly the snowy atmosphere. but still waaaay below asylum in terms of actual gameplay and pacing

>>714665996 (OP)
NOOOOOOOOOOO IT WASN'T MADE BY LE HECKIN' ROCKSTEADY

>>714666230
Being an actual city but not having any civilians like a prison makes it worse though

Most buggy gameplay true but by far the best story and boss battles of the entire series. Completely embarrassing for Rocksteady playing this then Arkham Knight close together seeing.

>EVERYONE shits on Origins because it's "not muh Rocksteady"
>Rocksteady release the next game that's a giant pile of shit with awful forced driving sections and a PC port that was LITERALLY SO BROKEN they had to refund everyone
>AND Rockshitty went on to make Knights shovelware and Suicide Slop

And yet the bias towards Origins STILL remains despite this.

City > Origins > Asylum > Knight

Knight > Origins > City > Asylum

>>714665996 (OP)
even the pre-arkham games are better than arkham shitty

then again, the peak will always be asylum, less is more

>>714667489
i shit on Origins because i am sick of the Joker being the main villain in every fucking game
City > Asylum > Knight > Origins
not that Origins is a bad game

>>714667184
the explaination is that there is a huge snowstorm, it's christmas eve, there are 8 assassins roaming the streets, and a big prison breakout happened, therefore there is a curfew

>>714665996 (OP)
Knight > Origins > Asylum > City

>>714667724
Fair. Joker again was a mistake. But other than that Origins is great.

been playing arkham knight for the first time recently, its pretty fun, just finished the main story today and now trying to trigger knightfall protocol or whatever.

have not played any of the previous games but im shocked at all the riddler shit, i aint doing allat

>>714668106
there was something about the pacing of the story that felt off, when i replayed it 2 years ago
but i agree, it's a great game

I thought online was interesting with 2 gangs and heroes in an all out fight

>>714668165
>now trying to trigger knightfall protocol
>but im shocked at all the riddler shit, i aint doing allat

>>714667567
I don't remember that creature on the left in arkham knight. Is it some kind of Joker golem? Looks a bit like fleshpound from killing floor

>>714668165
I consider Knight to be the best superhero game overall, period.
The atmosphere is still next level, and it still has the finest rain effects I've ever seen in a vidya
The absolute peak of the Arkham formula

>>714665996 (OP)

OP, I think BAO is a masterpiece while if you were to take the entire games cut scenes like below and give it a polish it would make for an incredible movie.

https://youtu.be/UgBBitvVHAg?si=Uf_brdfEefsfU4gi

It also has the best version of Gotham City that's expansive both horizontally but more important vertically with towering buildings almost everywhere.

This is why I hate Arkham Knight's Gotham because it looks and feels soo small in comparison.

I also love that it's set during the winter which brings some amazing mood and atmosphere to the story.

It's why I still can't believe the same company that made BAO also did Gotham Knights which was a disaster!!!FACT!!!

>>714665996 (OP)
It really isnt

>>714668515
Other than the superhero in question being a retard that falls to every trap set for him and needing to get bailed by his sidekicks

>>714668608
Still better than picrel

>>714665996 (OP)
Origins needed a few more months of development. There are too many little bugs and annoyances. Same goes for Knight though.

>>714668165
>>714668406

>>714667724
This is the correct order, but its like you said the worst game on the series is at worse a 7

>>714665996 (OP)
How come I can run Origins with DX11 features and PhysX features enabled with an AMD gpu, at 4k 60fps, but when I try the same with City it runs like absolute dogshit?

>>714668676
Knight definitely needed better optimization with the absurd memory leak issues it had, but it also needed better writers

>>714668406
>>714668709
yeah i know, to get the full knightfall protocol you have to get all of them including riddler but again, i aint doing all that shit its tedious as fuck, maybe when i im really fucking bored, i think ive got like 50 of them so far, cant believe theres 200 more
>>714668515
i think this is the first superhero vidya ive ever played and honestly its pretty good, for an old game it holds up really good today, im sure spiderman or whatever else doesnt hold up against Knight

>>714668813
They replaced Dini as lead writer with some other faggot who reused a plot from cancelled 90s Batman movie, literally.

>>714665996 (OP)
It has the best bosses in the series, and it also has the best iteration of Bane in the series, far better than the cartoony over the top shit in Asylum/City
Overall I prefer the more "grounded" tone of Origins and even Knight, never was a fan of the Tim Burton whacky shit

>>714668856
spider-man absolutely doesn't hold up, the combat is worse than arkham knight, and the "stealth" is also pathetic
only thing it might have over bamham is the traversal, but even then the gliding in arkham knight is pretty smooth and satisfying

what suit are y'all using

>>714668935
I'm aware and still butthurt about it. I'm a big Scarecrow fan so I was hyped about him as a big villain and for Arkham Knight, Dini created Quinn and added the wife pilot to Freeze so I knew the guy could create a new character had he wanted to, as Rocksteady was still claiming he was totally not Jason
Honestly it was also my fault, I found City's DLC also garbage and knew Dini wasn't hired for it but I thought that was an one time thing

>>714668515
this runs on UE3 btw

>>714665996 (OP)
>>714667489
the thing that put me off with Origins is they fucked up the sound design
>that thunderous noise when Batman beat the goons? yeah replace it when wet noodle noise

>>714667184
>Being an actual city but not having any civilians like a prison makes it worse though
Why so empty though? Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 had NPCs all over NYC.

>>714669219
honestly theyre all pretty shit imo. the 2008 movie one is nice but i still use the default

>>714669495
Most likely because it's basically a City mod and City didn't have civilian behaviour codded into it

>first Origins mogged City
>then Arkham Knights mogged Suicide Squad
how does WB Montreal keep BTFOing Rockshitty

its jank

>>714665996 (OP)
Absolutely not lol.
Its """"open""""world is the worst I've ever played.

>>714670507
Better open world than Arkham City, and better atmosphere as well

>>714669036
Wrong retard lol the only thing Batman does better is story. The setting, the combat, and traversal are all better in Spider Man, as well as the open world and graphics. The "stealth" if you could even call it that is shit but I would hope Batman games are better at that, it's literally his shtick. The story is also better in all of the Batman games, even going back to the PS2 days vs Spider Man's bullshit. That being said, Spider Man is still more fun.

>>714669930
>Arkham Knights mogged Suicide Squad
Two piles of shit.

>>714671615
>Wrong retard lol the only thing Batman does better is story.

TURBO KEK

>>714665996 (OP)
play it every christmas

>>714671615
The combat in Snoy Spider-Man is extremely one-note and gets old really fast
Even worse in Spider-Man 2 where they somehow decided to remove all the actually fun gadget, also hampering the already pitiful stealth even more

>>714665996 (OP)
It is, the thinking man's bamham game

>>714665996 (OP)
I'm not a huge fan of it but I do think it's better than Arkham Shitty. No clue why that game gets praised so much, its not that bad but it's really the least interesting Arkham game.

>>714671893
Actual mexican in this thread.

>>714673983
>No clue why that game gets praised so much
Because it was the first full fledged open world batman game
That's literally it

>>714674581

>>714667849
Based and truthpilled

>>714665996 (OP)
Batman is shit.

>>714671845
never said either were amazing, tard. but Knights was at least a BamHam gaym instead of some retarded Justice League-styled Agents of Mayhem abortion that didn't even deserve to see the light of day.

>>714665996 (OP)
It's true
>Better character design (Joker, Bane, Killer Croc, Batman himself)
>The story is better (Batman has actual character development and grows over the course of the game)
>Is easily the most atmospheric Batman game (hanging out in the batcave with Alfred is peak comfy kino, no other game comes close)
>Best interpretation of Batman (I love Conroy in BTAS but Batgod is cringe, which is what the Arkham games except for Origins fall into so readily)
>Best boss fights in the series, though what constitutes a boss fight for Arkhamfags is so inconsistent, because they consider the Scarecrow sections in AA to be "boss fights"
>Best DLC in the series (I'll never forget how sore I was waiting for Arkham City GOTY and it turned out Harley Quinn's Revenge sucked ass)
>Actually has a good version of Bane unlike the dumpster fires in AA and AC
Having just played Arkham Knight and it's DLCs, it's clear to me now that THIS is the best Arkham game and anyone who would say it's AA is a nostalgiafag (oooh it's da best because it's like a SHITTY metroidvania, so epic) and anyone who would say AC is coping degenerate Rocksteady tard. I have more sympathy for AK fanboys because they probably really like racing. (And I did too) AK is basically a third person shooter in disguise and I also like TPSes.

Far better? I wouldn't say that.

I understand they probably didn't have an overarching story planned for the setting but I genuinely think you should treat each game as it's own thing as some of the stuff is very disjointed.
whatever happened with Talia, Batman getting his identity revealed, Robins all over the place, Jason having an army and being generally less sympathetic then alternate versions, Ra's relevant then not relevant Great games but some of the writing is really not good when compared to comic and animated Batman stories. Arkham Knight Jason was a bitch and unironically should have got over it

>>714665996 (OP)
The only reason it can compete at all is because of the kino Christmas Eve setting.

>>714669219
For me it was either Gotham by Gaslight or Red Son.

Some of the dialogue in Origins is awful, and Troy Baker's Joker just makes it worse.

>>714668509
apparently it's a mod

>>714665996 (OP)
What did PO mean by this? Is he stupid?

These Two Games are 7 Years Apart

>>714681854
If you play Batman VR you can hear Jason being tortured and it's fucking brutal man

>>714665996 (OP)
It's crazy to me how we've had tons of so called "bamham clones" games over the years, yet not a single one of them had combat and stealth at least as good as the actual bamham games
Only example that comes to mind is Sifu, which has excellent combat and is kind of reminiscent of bamham combat

>>714681854
Iirc there was a writing team fuckup for Knight which meant the game was completely rewritten at one point or another
Other anons can probably explain, I can't remember what happened

>>714688040

>>714689017
True, it still hasn't been surpassed after all those years
Man, Rocksteady at their prime was something else

Is this the thread where we pretend Asylum and City are good?

>>714690872
And they say Arkham Origins is somehow bad

Knight>Asylum>City>Origins

>>714669336

>>714665996 (OP)
Agreed

>>714668572
>....yeah
>I'm uhh.. *sigh*
>you know...

I actually loved that movie

>>714695663
I haven't seen the movie but I love the suit.

>>714696068
Watch it, it's unironically a great movie

>>714669336
I love this era of game dev because UE3 lasted so long before UE4 came out that by the time it did you had entire branches of the engine specific developers made that were insane. Duke Nukem Forever still runs on a modified UE2.

>>714695391
*pffffffffftttBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

Still gobsmacked at how good this game looks, and we're 10 fucking years later

I really want to replay one of these man games. I tried the spiderman games hoping it would scratch that itch but alas, it doesn't.

I never played the man origins: origins DLC so I guess I'll just get that.

>>714696638
on top of being capekino, the arkham games are also pure butt kino
man, we really didn't know how good we had it

Babs best look in vidya is still Knight imo

This one looks like the stunt double

>>714699196
>>714699341

>>714665996 (OP)
What I love about it is that Batman is relatively new in this game, so random thugs don't believe that he actually exists

>>714699129
bruce plap'd that nice ass

My biggest issue with Origins is that it is suppose to take place during one night and yet somehow there is enough time for two completely different prison riots at the same prison.
The progression system where you can get locked out of upgrades wasn't that great either.

>>714668515
Don't forget really fun music

Batman completely BTFO his whole rogue gallery in under one night each time
He might literally be the strongest version of Batman ever

That’s just Femto

>>714665996 (OP)
I would very much like the multiplayer to work. I don't have Discord so I'm SOL. I remember playing it back in the day and felt really cool being scared by Robin of all things suddenly knocking me out.
Gotham Knights didn't give me that feeling either. You would be overpowered or your teammates would be and it felt as if you were only in the way.

its "Batman who Laughs" from the comic

>>714696638
Arkham games feel like the last big release western games with a large amount of fan service in them. Also for me it's catwoman in city

chances of a good batman beyond game ever?

Nu-Rocksteady mogged the ever living shit out of Warner Bros Games, had more fun with Suicide Squad than Gotham Knights

I know this makes me sound gay but I cried when I finished Knight because that to me came off as the perfect ending to the TAS cartoon which is my favorite series of all time. I don't care if it is or is not to me it was and it was perfect. When he said this at the end it was just too perfect
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOKrsGCDhB8

>>714719128
Her design is better in city, jiggle physics don't change that, also her face in knight is a massive downgrade
