Rocksteady: Batman Arkham Series General Thread

[Paragorn]

Thread dedicated to talk about the most influential game franchise based in a comic book character, and (in my opinion) one the most iconic games of Xbox360/PS3 era.

Batman Arkham

Batman Arkham Asylum

Batman Arkham City

Batman Arkham Origins

Batman Arkham Knight

Arkham Asylum is the best in my opinion.

Maybe cause of nostalgic but i genuially appreciate how they made an 1 first game set in Arkham Asylum in an horror style.

All phases were memorable(Intensive Treatment, Medical Facility, Penitenciary, Botanic Garden).

All Scarecrow phases, Killer Croc's boss fight were masterpieces.

I also like how this game makes use of easter eggs as part of the Riddler side quest.

Some say this game has age "badly" because of gameplay, but i think this i not accurate at all.

The combat is very fluid and you can even hit 3 enemies at once(the only game with this feature), but the is too easy to lose your combo lol.

The stealth ain't as easy as the other games but there's still gimmicks you can elaborate, the explosive gel is too broken lol.

This game was a hell of a good start for a game series. 10/10

About Arkham City, that's probably the game i played the most.

This game was a huge improvment of the previous game, in terms of gameplay(especially combat), i think it's fair to say this redefined the formula of Arkham games.

I like how in this game, every villain has their own territory and henchmans lol.

After Dark Souls, this is my favorite trilogy in gaming history.

1- Killer Croc(Arkham Asylum)
2- Mr.Freeze(Arkham City)
3- Deathstroke(Arkham Origins)
4- Scarecrow secctions(Arkham Asylum)
5- Ra's Al Ghul(Arkham City)
6- 1# Bane Fight(Arkham Origins)
7- Firefly(Arkham Origins)
8- Clayface(Arkham City)
9- Solomon Grundy(Arkham City)
10- Poison Ivy(Arkham Asylum)

Arkham Origins had some really good boss fights. Bane, Deathstroke and Firefly were the best ones.

Arkham Origins has the best Bane imo.

There are more frequent dialogue sequences in City than Knight btw

Never played it

Idk, City didnt have him talking to Alfred every 10 seconds. It had skippable cutscenes at worst.

That’s exactly what city had lmfao. Arkham Knight was mostly Oracle initially.

Is that any relevant lol?

Arkham Knight is just the peak of Arkham gameplay and added a lot of features, let alone the Batmobile.

You should play, it's great.

Not at all. Just saying his criticism applies more to city than knight, even though it isn’t a real criticism.

I think Arkham Knight is the most unnecessarily over-hated game of all time. It is still a game that absolutely blows my mind a decade later.

I think Arkham Knight is the most unnecessarily over-hated game of all time.

People complain more about Batmobile which i disagree, i personally believe Batmobile is more of a character than just an vheicule in this game, which explains why Batmoblie has it's own combat gameplay/main missions/side missions. The only moment i don't like to use Batmobile, is during Arkham Knight boss fight.

I personal complaim bout this game is more releated with the lack of creativity in the boss fights. Also this game has the weakest plot history of the series, Paul Gini(writer of Arkham Asylum/City) is a better writer than Geoff Johns(writer of Arkham Knight), he should have endeed the series.
