and its on something like unreal engine 3 or some shit and shits on modern games in terms of visuals and art design. what were they smoking then that they stopped smoking when they made suicide squad?

>>734134574
>They each got better with each installment
Agreed.
Also I think the studio that made Origins also worked on that memoryholed Gotham Knights or whatever. Those guys also shat the bed.

>>734135028
yea they made origins and gotham knights. gotham knights is such a weird one i feel like comic readers might like it more than people hoping for more arkham game

>>734134574
You're supposed to hate knight for forcing the batmobile on you and completely disregard anything else

>>734135516
just ignore the batmobile then

>>734135867
But then how will I be mad?

so sad we cant get high quality games for any other character seemingly imagine a really well made punisher, green arrow, daredevil, captain america, even thor game. fuck this industry

>>734136243
Where's my damn Aquaman game, there's battle for Atlantis but it sucked, but man at least it sucked in a way that sort of tried with their nothing budget

>>734136395
i was so excited when the young justice game was announced but it was cheap as fuck garbage

>>734134574
i only played it to jack off to catwoman and she was only good in asylum

>>734134574
>Arkham ACOK
Not even knocking it, just think it's funny.

>waaaahhhhhh I have to hold a button :'C
knight is the best gameplay-wise if you're not mentally, (or apparently) physically handicapped

>>734134574
>I am actually shocked this game is 11 years old.
It's Unreal Engine 3, too.

I think a lot of the hate Knight got was because
a) it was released in a badly optimized / buggy state on PC
b) everyone saw the jason todd """twist""" coming.
c) people didn't like how much batmobile there was in the game, the previous 2 didn't have any vehicle sections or anything so you were always fighting guys or just gliding around.

Regardless, it's the best game in the series and the most polished and refined in terms of combat. Even the batmobile, for as much criticism as it gets, it's very polished and refined and actually challenging in some of the challenges, sometimes frustratingly so.

But I loved doing all the combat challenges with each character, they were truly hard to get the perfect freeflows on. Also the killer croc one where you have to get a combo of like 250x+ to get him to spawn, took me quite a few times to get it but it was really fun because the combat truly is really well polished.

I've also gone through Arkham games last year, and playing them close to each other makes me notice some subtle improvements between each entry, like how City added the ability to slide that lets you go through vents without needing to sit down and open them

>What a leap in terms of gameplay and visuals.
The leap between Asylum and City is also insane for me.
The fact the two games are 2 years apart despite the amount of game mechanics have added/improved for combat and stealth is very impressive.
But still, going from Origins and Knight is a massive leap too. I can't think of a recent game that big of a leap.

One aspect of the series that's really underappreciated is the soundtrack.

well i thought i was gonna hate the Batmobile but i love this lil nigga

Joker being crazy shouldn't give him the same stats as Batman without any of the training that's stupid, and both of them being multiversal threats is ridiculous

Fully agree. Arkham games are peak vidya and one of the rare examples of each progressive game noticeably growing in depth and complexity without ever deviating from the core gameplay that made it so good in the first place. Knight is the full, realised conclusion of Arkham's gameplay loop, regardless of its flaws, and it's so very satisfying.
To think that Asylum and Knight are only six years apart is amazing from a graphical point of view as well. 10/10 Series.

>>734134574
Combat and stealth sections are definitely way better in Knight. That's the only one where I actually wanted to play through a fight.

the video game industry for some reason forgot how to make games after knight

im just gonna come right out and say it gotham knights is not that bad

>>734148321
you just like batgirlbutt

>>734135516
you're actually supposed to hate knight for buggy and unoptimized the game was on release

>>734150503
yes but it's also not that bad

>>734148321
It's pretty mid, but I had fun with it.
>>734150503
I love me some Batgirl butt. Easily the best thing about the game.

Arkham Knight is visually stunning, even today. That’s what good art direction does. The way the rain breaks though the neon signage and drips down Batmans cape… kino. Unfortunately, the story isn’t written by Paul Dini like Asylum and City, so it’s unfortunately poor.

tl;dr the game looks great but the story sucks
