Asylum is the worst of the 4 games imo. Still a good game until City came out though.

[adamsapple]

First time playing AA?

One of the best games of my lifetime.

 

[FrankWza]

I counted na's.

 

[MarkMe2525]

I caught it late with me first playing the remaster on Xbox one. I think that's why it hasn't hit with me like it has many other.

If you are going to make a proper LTTP, make a proper LTTP. Don't make nonsensical thread titles and incorrect descriptions.

Asylum best game together with Knight, and both among the very best games of all time.

While the increased sense of scale with City and Knight are amazing, there's still a special magic to Asylum's Bioshock esque exploration of Arkham Asylum, it's special precisely because it was more intimate.

The Arkham games are overall some of my top favorite things about gaming from the last 15 years, such good times, I cringe when I look at what Rocksteady is doing now with that Suicide Squad game.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

AA is my favorite of the bunch. Incredibly well paced and tight adventure. Not too open, not too linear.

& the older they get, the better they get, particularly when compared to what passes for triple-games now...

dont understand why AAA cant make thirs anymore ue3 better makes no sense??

 

[GymWolf]

Asylum is by far the best game in the brand, but...great physics? Am i forgetting something?

 

[TheDraconian]

Asylum is a very good game, but it's in no world better than City, the actual best game of the Arkham Series.

 

[SeraphJan]

Arkham Knight is the best out of all

 

[Rockondevil]

Love them all for different reasons.
Replaying them again and just finished Asylum last weekend and probably half way through City now.
Looking forward to Origins next.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

These games still blow away the spiderman games. They have such an incredible atmosphere. Mark hammil and Kevin Conroy were 2 of the best voice actors out there.

 

[DonJimbo]

Loved all of them so much

 

[GymWolf]

Arkham Knight is the best out of all

Batmobile of war?

Nah.

 

[Hrk69]

Does this one have the AR missions? I played it but I can't remember

 

[Valt7786]

Asylum was truly just...something else when it released. My first ever platinum and I really wish I could forget I've ever played it so I could go through it again for the first time.
I hope if it ever gets a remake it gets one that does it true justice.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Mart Hamil & Keev Conro

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I still can't get through Asylum. What a trash game.

They do, especially Arkham Knight, being one of the last AAA games before Woke really started to take hold.

It still looks amazing to this day too despite being close to a decade old already, which speaks to the diminishing returns of recent years.

Arkham Knight is the best out of all

A lot of people hated it at the time but it earned scorn for the PC release being broken at the start.

Some people also thought too much time is spent in the Batmobile's tnak mode.

But people seem to have really come around to it now as it's so refreshing when compared to similar games that are coming out now.

They'll let you out when you get better

Arkham Knight is the best out of all

While Asylum is my favourite, I must say that they really nailed the Batmobile in Knight. Often when these kinds of games insert vehicles it becomes the worst part of the game, but the route they went with the tank-car was very cool. The sense of speed and destruction was impressive.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

I love Arkham Asylum personally, but those Predator and Combat challenges can go eat a bag of dicks. I remember they gave me a good challenge back in the day when I first started trophy hunting. Excellent main game though.

Exactly.

What a mastercrafted game that was, and the essential Season of Infamy DLC made it the ultimate Batman simulator. Work of art of a game.

Also we talk all the time about Rockstar or PS Studios care for polish and production values, level of detail etc. but Rocksteady with this game was just right up there.
Knight is actually better than many Sony exclusives I've played in this regard, one of the most consistent games ever bar none.

Not only that, Batmobile combat controller-in-hand felt superb. Yeah there was alot of it, but just because it really did felt amazing, and challenging.

asylum #1 being in the dark asylum alone with Jokers scares me my friends

the challenges is the next level in combat

I still haven't finished the first SpiderMan game after having started a file on the original on PS4 and then again on PS5 version... both times it's just not engaging enough to stick with. I also have a Miles Morales file that I started for about an hour and thought I'd come back. I'll never buy Spider Man 2, because I've seen enough of these devs and they've clearly further diluted the game with their own bs with each entry.

But the Batman games... even unaltered and with the original graphics I think they'd all 3 be in the top 5 games of 2023, and probably for the next 10 years as well. The gap in quality versus similar franchises, even Spider Man, is exponential.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

So I'm at the end of the main story of Knight now (on PS5). Crashed on me once and I got stuck in a building once.

I'm glad that I bought it (esp for $4) but I can see why this ended up being the last game in the series. I'm not sure what else they could do with it.

I even didn't mind that they use the Batmobile a lot (although there's plenty of Fighting and Predator parts too) There is one part near the end where it gets kinda hard if you didn't upgrade the Batmobile much though...

[SmokedMeat]

Wait until you play City.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

So now I'm really at the end of the main story of Knight although haven't accepted the final mission yet.

The last couple of the side quest combat missions are sorta tough, lol.
