These games are so comfy manWhats the magic?
>>737054353You played them when you were 12.
>>737054353you're a basedboy that likes capeshit
It's midnight in a big-ass city that's effectively a ghost town except for some idiots who exist purely to be beaten up if you feel like doing that. It's always either raining or snowing so you get to enjoy the aesthetics of that without actually getting wet/cold yourself.String orchestra softly playing in the background.Riddler hacking into the billboards every five minutes either to nag you about finishing his dumb racetrack or to tell you how stupid you are.
>>737054353It's just pure Batman power fantasy, and it does it very well.
>>737054480Try again I played them for the first time when I was 22 last year and they were all incredible games>>737054539lol dumb newfag
>>737054353They really are my comfort zone games. Not too east, not too hard. And I play them on hard and go for 100%. Some of the challenges are pretty tough though.
>>737056015easy*
>>737054353I never finished the first BamHam game because I wasn't having fun. Are the rest better?
>>737056067> joker billboard bottom leftI miss when big games had SOUL manWhen even AAA games had actual developer care and effort put in to the little details
>>737056187They're essentially the same thing but bigger and more refined.If you disliked the core gameplay, then the sequels don't have much to offer you.
press x to be a badass simulator
>>737054353They correctly started with the idea that anyone playing one of those games likes Batman, so the game mechanics are designed to show off Batman being cool.
>You are Batman, you get to use all of Batman's gadgets and technology as you traverse across a vast city - by flight if need be - fighting crime and iconic Batman criminals as you'd likeThat's all there is to it. There doesn't need to be anything else.
>>737057519But where is the subversion?? The girlbosses and the morality lectures???????? AAAAIIIIIEEE MEDIA LITERACY SAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the vibe in Arkham Asylum after you've beaten the game and were free to roam around the entire areaWas actually scarier without all the enemies around
Playing asylum for the first time and every scene with joker cracks me up. How does he do it?
>we're at the point where the average /v/tard is a zoomer nostalgic for bamham gamesthis board has no reason to exist anymore, nuke it
>>737054353Only the first two are comfy. Knight has too many jumpscares.
>>737057772>its not my God of War hack n slash or muh Japanese DmC therefore it is bad
>>737054353>Made by the talent that made Batman TASThat´s pretty much it.
>>737057772>As opposed to being nostalgic for Diablo 1, 2, Doom, Quake, GTA III and Vice City (casual brainlet games), etc. etc.See how easy it is? I can go further if you want. Every single CRPG from that era is pure garbage. Garbage storytelling, garbage game mechanics. Yes this includes BG, Fallout and Planescape torment.I grew up going to Quake 2 tournaments. Get over yourself, you are not special.
>>737057672>But where is the subversion??The subversion is that it's Joker all over again
>>737054353It's fun, and some of them are the best superhero games you can play.Don't do all the challenges though, I did them out of autism for City in January and I got so fucking sick of sneaking behind thugs in steel mills and museums.
What superheros would benefit from a arkham style game?
>>737057772The posters were always there we were just drowned out by the majority, then the hatewagon moved on to something else so we can finally breath. This happens all the time and every time it does someone makes a post like yours. The majority opinion on here can be wrong actually. Bamham combat is much more than spam button to counter. The games are very responsive to things you do and you can tell were made by people that enjoy games not just pushing out a playable movie, they also include a ton of callbacks that show the love of the franchise they were working on. No it's not Ninja Gaiden Black but they're not forgettable PS2 licensed movie shovelware either.

>>737060773>pointing out niggit spacing is leh bait.Kwab
>>737054353made by white men, for white menis this what you wanted to hear?
>>737057672>>737059641That's the actual subversion, that the marketing is just straight up lying.>What? No! It's not Jason Todd! We're totally not just making a shittier version of Under The Hood!
>>737060290>no don't break apart your paragraphs bro
>>737054539Capeshit =/= superhero content. Capeshit is specifically garbage superhero content.
>>737061184>Three sentences at best.>Wall of text.Yup. He's sneeding

>>737054353Batman being based is the magic.
>>737061393/co/ literally created the term "capeshit" to describe the glut of repetitive batman shit DC churned out because of the success of Nolan's film.
>>737057716>when that one last inmate you missed sneaks up on you and climbs on your back
>>737062595https://youtu.be/9qT51JUB9q8
>>737056607City adds a lot of quality of life improvements, it plays a lot smoother, combat and movement are way less clunky
What did you guys think of Gotham Knights? I can't be the only one who liked it.
>>737054353Great atmosphere, fun stealth, and nice combat. The games do a good job making you feel like Batman.
>>737054353attention to detail as usual
>>737059939DaredevilTMNTIron FistThe QuestionGreen ArrowBlack CanaryMost Batfamily Members (seriously, how did they fuck up Gotham Knights so bad?)
>>737054353I never played the third one, the second ruined it by just being an open world game. The first is such a good game, focused on exploration and being pretty much a metroidvania.
>>737056187>>737056607City is almost completely different tone from Assylum. Assyum is contained, City is more open
>>737055985>zoomer thinks he's entitled to an opinionhow cute>doubles down by calling people newfagsfucking adorable
>>737059939Teen Titans, which is also tied to Batman
>>737067068Aren't metroidvanias side scrollers?
>>737059939Obviously DD and the TMNT, in fact there were rumors as far back as Arkham City that Rocksteady were going to do a TMNT game, but one of the devs or somebody shot it down in a very cunty way making the Turtles sound like bums they were too good for.
Going for 100% is pure aids in these games. But the atmosphere is unmatched
>It's what you taught me. Do the right thing. That's all that matters. Good-bye, Alfred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrYZYiwcwM
>>737067884I thought it wasn't bad in Asylum because the levels are fairly small, but once you get to Knight, it's just obnoxious.>get hundreds of collectibles strewn around this giant city to get the true ending even though you can just watch it on youtube
>>737067884Asylum isn't too bad, City is very annoying, especially the catwoman trophies, cuz fuck playing as that lame bitch. I can't remember if I 100% Knight, but I know it was definitely gorilla nigger aids.Imo asylum is the best except for the Joker fight
>>737067884>having to do all challenges and campaigns four times each in city >the retarded predator skill tree in origins + having to do all challenges as young bruce on console>community challenge pack in knignt
>>737066995>>737067751i would have loved a Rocksteady Daredevil game but at it's best condition it would have been a grotesque Frankenstein of BamHam and the Insomniac Spider-Man. His senses would just be Detective Vision all the time and Spidey's Spider-Sense. Traversal would be the same as Arkham only instead of the grapple it would be his billy club rope. There would be nothing to really distinguish him to even warrant a full game.
>>737059939Can´t be properly done. Arkham asylum and city mostly work because TAS and Burton´s Batman exist. It´s like taking the quintessential essence of Batman and putting it on steroids. Now that Conroy is gone achieving a similar result would be impossible even for new Batman games. Most other superheroes have not had media of that quality and iconic value paving their way like that. Closest i can think of are probably the X-men cartoon from the 90´s and maybe the TMNT live action movies of the same period. You´d need to bring back the creative teams and voice actors to make those work like they did for the Arkham games and even that would be no guarantee.

>>737070134I've got mad respect for Hamill deciding to retire from voicing the Joker after Conroy died. Like the rest of us, he knew it'd never be the same without him. Modern Batman needs to find its own voice, and so far it hasn't gone well.
>>737067448
>>737057772>t.Slopsouls pig
>>737054353Was Arkham Knight good? I grabbed a key for like 2 dollars a while ago but never played it
>>737070134Marvel had a ton of kino cartoons I. The 90s though. Spider-Man, hulk, fantastic four, iron man and even silver surfer oozed soul. For the avengers you have emh, which is still the best adaptation.
>>737067884I 100% all four games, the challenges and riddler content was a tasteful addition for Asylum and made sense in the context of a schizo on the loose hiding things around the island. After that they became blatant filler content and progressively worse with each sequel to the point where the only memory I have of Knight's playthrough is the feeling of pure boredom and low level frustration throughout, truly a shining testament to the amount of free time I had as a teenager.
They're extremely well made games and basically the last remnants of the golden age (except origins).
>>737072834The core game is good, just don't bother going for 100%
>>737072834People hated the batmobile sections but I honestly didnt mind them. And the combat is better than in Asylum and City. Puzzles/Riddles were also fun to solve...to me at least. Riddlers puzzles alone are like a completely separate game within a game.
>>737054353theyre PS2 adventure collectathons except for 16 year olds rather than 6 year olds
They're just fun. Good music and atmosphere. The gameplay is simple enough but still very fun in terms of the combat, and has enough complexity to keep things interesting. A few more years and I'll do another playthrough of all of them.
>>737072108I think the Origins VA is pretty good
>>737054353Gives you the tools and the feeling of being Batman. Everything makes you feel like Batman.You. Are. Batman.
>>737054353Knight WOULD HAVE been comfy if they got rid of the battle mode and had more real boss fights. I wanted to like it so bad but it just disappointed me.
>>737072834It really depends on how much you like the tank battles
>>737072902Origins had good boss fights.
>>737054353straight white male dev team
>>737072108Funny enough i believe the reason it´s failing it´s also related to TAS. It´s just too iconic, too established. When an movie, TV show or game already has a strong established identity it sets certain expectations. It´s as if TAS is the control group of an experiment; whatever they make is always going to be compared against it. Arkham succeeded precisely because it accepted that ok, TAS is Batman, TAS is what the people are expecting of Batman so let´s give them TAS. >>737072846Certainly but the point would be being capable of translating that to the games. Spiderman, X-men and the TMNT have had tons of games but none have been able to achieve what Arkham did for Batman.
>>737054353They're easy but they aren't Nintendo easy
>>737074381>TAS is what the people are expecting of Batman so let´s give them TAS.Not necessarily, stuff like the Dark Knight trilogy did very well despite being a vastly different approach to Batman compared to TAS or Arkham
>>737056797The challenge maps actually live up to their name and make combat/stealth interesting. People who stop at 100%ing the main game are missing out.
