Arkham joker still sits with me years later. I may have been disappointed that so much of Knight was tank combat, but the brutal torture joker put jason through still fucks with me even after 7 years. How he mutilated, tortured, manipulated and traumatized a child. In the comics he beat him.with a crowbar and just blew him up. Thus joker branded him. Beat him. Hung him by his arms to dislocated them, bound him yo a chair with barbed wire which permanently changed his posture, joker drugged him, electrocuted him, unspeakable horrors every night, slowly eroding Jason's only hope of being saved by showing him pictures of Bruce and tim... it's absolutely horriffic.. he was only around 16 or 17 years old and he endured levels of torture that would be considered war crimes if done on POWs

Arkham Knight might be one of the most frustrating sequels I've ever witnessed. So much potential gets thrown away by it, and the plot is... honestly kind of weak. The way the game wastes Hush honestly made me put down my controller and stare at the ceiling. And I'm gonna be real: Scarecrow can't carry a game, even if his fear toxin gets upgraded to full-on _magic_ by this game. There's connective tissue that hints at a larger world beyond Gotham, but because of the weird plot, it ends up more confusing than anything. The game confirms the existence of Batwoman, and all but spells out the existence of Superman, Green Arrow, and the Flash. I know Batman is a hard-headed loner, but come on. "Don't call in the other superheroes or we'll BLOW UP SOME MINES!" Are you telling me that Superman is gonna _wait_ for Batman to call him before helping?

I'm maybe gonna be controversial: but I think Origins story is the only game in the series besides Asylum with good pacing and good use of characters, while giving actual conflict with character dynamics and best Bane use. Arkham series has good ideas as plot starters which have something to say about what Batman effect on society .... BUT HERE'S JOKER TO STEAL PLOT ONCE AGAIN. It feels that Paul Dini and Rockstead team, with all my respect, tries to make evergreen Batman like BTAS, but with no compelling writing decisions which made BTAS great. Ironically, it seems WB Montreal are the ones actually interested in exploring Batman's lore as actual narrative with message to say, a thing which Rocksteady did something similair with Arkham Knight, only for it to be a display of how little thought out it was and how it is too much Joker centric it really is.

One I suggest Reviewing Transformers Animated and the Cybertron games. Arkham Asylum: Great for the atmosphere it set. I can play it over and over. Quite a lot of it is Basic and that's the point Arkham City: It's Gameplay isn't perfection but it's Story is top tier. And that's what makes paying attention to it really good Arkham Origins: The story isn't perfect. Could of not brought Joker back and let Black Mask have the spotlight for once. But we get what we get and we just accept it because of the Boss Fights. Deathstroke's boss fight feels AMAZING! Especially on new Game + without the counter meter. Then Bane's fight. It feels Amazing as well. Feels like we are actually fighting him. Trying to not get grabbed or hit as his attacks are really scary. Get touched your health is going down Arkham Knight: It's Story is Flawed. Very. It's boss fights. Aren't really the best. It's atmosphere needs work. But what makes this Game better at the one thing the past 3 games couldn't make better than anything else in there games. It's the Combat. The past 3 games most definitely had gameplay that didn't just feel the same each time but improved if big or small. But this. This game gave us what the past two games couldn't. It gave us the ability to ABSOLUTLY Fuck up every enemies body, Scare the living shit out of them, and let us glide like a god. The best part is the Predator sections. Can you imagine what it is like being those criminals? Let me give you a scenario and you tell me what you think. You and your friends are wobbling around because of the Joker. But he doesn't tell you about Batman being around or anything. Then as you are just looking around admiring the scenery when all of a sudden it becomes quiet. You don't hear anybody walking or talking with another friend. So you start looking around and see absolutely NO ONE. So you start looking around for them and start yelling out for them. No one says anything. Just silence. Then you ask if someone is out there. And your question is answered from behind you with a simple "I am" Tell me your not shitting your pants while your shitting your pants. It's a fun scenario that could happen if you time everything right as Batman. Silent takedown everyone in spots they won't be seen and make sure the last guy doesn't come across his teammates. With that. You win. It would be much better if Joker couldn't say on the speaker that someone is down. But it would be great. Especially if you could customize your Predator maps and your own fights. That would be a fun next Arkham Game. With that and a few more adds. Hmm

My biggest issue with the main trilogy is Arkham knight. They went detail crazy on next-gen and it looks like a completely different universe sometimes. That gothic-deco look was replaced by a quazi blade runner look at some points. Not to mention the story took the impact of jokers blood from city and made it useless, instead of people dying they just turn into joker. Which makes jokers death and Batman’s need for a cure confusing. Plus the Arkham knight Jason Todd thing was way too obvious, just make it an under the red hood kind of game, and call it “Arkham Penance” or something. People would have ate that up. Make side missions of more consequence, the build up to hush was terrible. Too much bat-tank, I miss my limo-mobile. poison Ivy kaiju plants were kinda weird. It seemed very disconnected

The Arkham games are a rare series for me in that I love all of them (sans Origins) equally. Arkham Asylum was the best story for me with the weakest part being the return to gameplay. Arkham City was the best fanservice for me with the weakest part being Tara Str- the feeling of traversing the titular City. And Arkham Knight is the one I can always return to and get an absolute joy out of either gliding, fighting, marveling, or, yes, even the tank driving. And the only real weak point to me was the story. As a Batman fan, even as someone with more of a love towards JRPGs and Fighters, these games remain among my absolute favorites in gaming. Origins I want to love more, but my console experiences involve bad frame drops and my PC experience involves glitches everywhere. While elements such as the Deathstroke boss fight are fantastic, I take similar issue with the upgrade system. It's back to zero with not enough to entice me to play it for long stretches of time like the other three.

I never really cared for the Arkham Knight ending. It was kinda weird and the whole "As his world grew darker, so did ours" I interpeted that as well how it all started. His world was fine until his parents were killed in front of him.

And then there's the suicide squad game. Which seems odd so far.

Honestly I really just wish the Arkham series hadn’t ended Wish that there was a new game called Arkham Legacy or something Play as Nightwing/Batman Or hell Damian Wayne

Silly question. With these games being so awesome, pertaining to design/artwork, can these games be just watched as a movie, rather than play the game?

I suppose that yeah you could probably do that. Some parts might have a little bit of missing context but most of it should be fine.

Can't agree with your point of view on origins, Shame you do what a lot of "video game experts" say about that game, is it hard to admit it has the best boss fights and DLC in the Arkham anthology? Also it has a more intriguing a la Nolan style narrative.

I guess you can look at it like this. If a game has a god awful story but incredible gameplay I’ll still play it. But if it has bad Gameplay but a good story. (Death stranding) I won’t.

Asylum and City feel like a connected world all the others seem like a washed down more gamey version

Huh, that was roughly my experience with Arkham Origins too. I ended up having Batman fall for eternity off the bridge right before you get to Firefly. Never bothered going back to it.

Funny, something similar happened to me in knight. Origins never gave me any issues on the 360 though. Guess I got lucky

I'm surprised you disliked Origins for making Batman and Joker less archetypical. I honestly find that aspect in their relationship to be boring. Batman's arc is pretty familiar, but Joker's arc was refreshing. It was fascinating to see him go from another mob boss wannabe with a gimmick to the psychopath obsessed with Batman. Also, the boss fights were probably at their strongest (AC Mr. Freeze aside, of course) Also, I find Arkham City's writing and story kind of overrated. Talia and Hugo Strange were treated in a very disposable manner and the story is mostly just a fetch-quest. You could tell the struggle between story and game design was already manifesting there.

I wanna see what this game would’ve been like if Paul Dini made the story and if the city would look like how the backround was in arkham city, then maybe you would need the batmobile to get around in some areas. I would like that more instead of a tank you need for everything in the game.
