All you do is hit the same button over and over again in arkahm :dwillhuh:

Word? Casual much? The way you can mix in the gadgets, counters, and take down variations made combat fun, and cool to actually watch a fight

It's cool to watch, but from a gameplay perspective it's shallow as hell. It's almost like QTE

And :dead: at you calling me a casual as if Arkahm is a "hardcore" game in the first place.

i got really creative with the combat in the Arkham games...like, i got silly with the gadget combos.
if you didn't find the combat challenging and fun it's because you were not taking advantage of how much you could actually do.

How can it be challenging when you just said you had to purposely make yourself "get silly" with the combat?

It's glorified QTE. As you get more gadgets, you get to add more buttons to your QTE repertoire, but it's ultimately the same shyt.

I agree with @MeachTheMonster somewhat in that the games are overrated and the combat sucks.

I still say asylum was great though especially for a first entry in the series. The problem I have is they pushed it to open world which has added nothing instead of evolving the gameplay further.

Why evolve the game when you can cram full of collectaHon shyt to pad time.

And I hate how wb has been using the batman template on other games. Shadow of mordor,mad max...ugh

it was a challenge to see how many different moves, take downs, and gadget combos i could get off in a single flow.
like i said, if you were just jumping from enemy to enemy and punching then you were doing it wrong.

i would set up ice grenades, drop smoke, let off battarangs, charge up the gloves, grapple hook dudes into cloths lines, etc....
then when it's all over i have a 100+ combo with all sorts of combat variations that helped me earn XP points faster.


to each their own.

It will always be a matter preference but the Batman games had so much style to them especially Arkham Knight. Yeah that underwhelming game, it may not be liked much but Gotham looked to dope in that game. Im playing it now for a second time and its actually better this time, no lie.

You cant just spam buttons when all the various goons are on the field so it does make the combat more engaging. @Fatboi1 is right, when you see bats fukk nikkas up and glide through the night that shyt looks too ill. It adds to the overall appeal of the game because you are a comic book hero, a iconic one at. You feel like your Batman.

If you cant dig it than hey play something else, but to not give the game developers their props for the experience they created is hating.

Nobody hating.

I said the "Batman" stuff was cool.

I just said in the context of looking back at the game and considering playing remasters, the gameplay does not hold up.:manny:

Asylum and City was GOAT. Awesome titles. That prequel was stale even tho I thought it had the best story. Knight was just so dull and disappointing. But the Combat was top notch. Every other game from Sleeping Dogs to AC has tried to emulate it. But they don't have the variety of options like Batman

Never understood the point anyway in remastering games from only one generation ago. Who didn't play those games already?

Arkham Asylum/City were one of the best games last gen. Stop it with the "it's ok".

And don't even THINK about doing the "Well if you remove Batman, Gotham and the everything about it super hero it's an average game."
You play games like "I touched a squirrel 2" so fukk your gaming opinions nikka :birdman:
