Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

The only problem I found with the Riddler in AC was:

You couldn't beat the crap out of him yourself for putting you through all that nonsense... I wanted to button mash to no end on him but instead we only got a cut scene.

I cant even remember if I found him or not... where is he?

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I know I found him, but I don't remember the end to that part of the game at all. I do remember a number of Riddler trophies that caused some problems.

The Riddler/last hostages to rescue were in a building by

the museum

I agree with Altimus, I enjoyed the Riddler stuff, but the actual payoff at the end was disappointing and the last hostage "puzzle" was incredibly easy. One of the few things that disappointed me in AC. I did enjoy the story a little more in Asylum, but overall I enjoyed AC more.

You had to collect a certain amount of trophies and riddles to "unlock" the Enigma Machine.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I picked up the GOTY edition for PS3 and started through this again last night. My intentions were to simply install the game and additional content and then throw myself into Uncharted, but I managed to get dragged into Arkham for about 2 hours. I really had forgotten how atmospheric the game was and how it pulls you in so quickly. Its crazy to think this was really the first great Batman game to come along seemingly from nowhere and blow everybody away.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I need to go back through this and City before Arkham Knight comes out.

As much as I enjoyed City and Origins, Asylum is the best. Totally agree. The story was top notch. The atmosphere was incredible.

Origins is set before AA, correct? I picked that one up, too, but had never played it before. How does it compare to AA and AC?

From what I've read (didn't play it)it shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the previous two. But again, I didn't play it.

Played all 3... AC is the best IMO, it provides the best graphics, ability to traverse a larger area, and the challenges and side missions will keep you plenty busy.

The DLC Harleys revenge is a lot of fun and it's nice to be able to play as both Robin and Catwoman within the AC world. I am still going for that Calendar Man achievement which means I need to pop AC in today or tomorrow for whichever murderous date is for New Years Eve or Day.

I enjoyed Arkham Origins too but it is not as polished as the other two games. I also really enjoyed the multiplayer mode that Origins offered, but I am unsure how many still play that mode since it suffered from matchmaking issues and no utilization of bots. The arkham origins multiplayer mode really got me thinking that a Batman game should DEFINITELY have a co-op mode....we should be able to see a friend playing and drop in as their sidekick or as a villain and assist on a mission or wreak havoc on Gotham.

Hopefully Warner Bros improves on their in-house Batman efforts once rocksteady is finally done and gives us the next Batman game which provides that co-op experience I think is necessary.

Arkham Knight will surely be awesome though... I am most psyched about being able to play story mission as Red Hood and Harley Quinn in the DLC.

All 3 are great but I like city the most. It had the best story and soundtrack to me and the upgrades to the combat where great. I never had any problem with glitches at all on orgins like so many people did though.

City is an amazing title as well no doubt. But something about the first time playing a truly great Batman game stuck with me playing Asylum.

But City is just as good I can't disagree.

Origins story was top notch BTW. But the game felt like old hat at that point for me.

Yeah my biggest problem with origins is that it was to much like city and I didn't like what they did with joker and black mask.
