Batman: Arkham Knight

[ChrisBaleBatman]

..How?

...I was being sarcastic.

Thought it was obvious. Especially after saying, multiple times, that Batman Begins was my favorite Batsuit.

 

[I Am The Knight]

...Yeah. The TDK and TDKR suits are the ones that look identical. The BB suit is quite different.

 

[socool]

...Yeah. The TDK and TDKR suits are the ones that look identical.

Aren't they the same? Like, didn't they use the exact same suit? Or are there small cosmetic differences that I never noticed?

For someone who loved Arkham City, is Origins worth playing?

For someone who loved Arkham City, is Origins worth playing?

Absolutely yes. For some fans, like myself, it's the best of the series.

 

[Red Hood]

Is it better than Arkham Knight?

My bad, I'm not good with sarcasm online and not sure I remember seeing post about the BB suit

 

[The Joker]

Is it better than Arkham Knight?

I think so yes.

 

[TX85]

Is it better than Arkham Knight?

In terms of characterization,Gotham and story..Hell to the yeah!

 

[I Am The Knight]

I remember reading that there are some small differences between the two. But I can't tell for sure anymore.

 

[Red Hood]

Do you think we will eventually get a DCCU Batman game?

For me, the two are miles apart in quality. Arkham Knight's not a bad game, but the story's weak, majority of the characters are poorly handled, the gameplay leans too heavily on the Batmobile and things feel withheld for DLC purposes (lack of challenge maps, selling ones already in the game, character restrictions on maps). Origins has a great story, nails the characterization to a T (thankfully especially on Bane, considering how he got the short end of the stick from Rockteady), and though the gameplay doesn't add anything too major, it's still solid on that level as well. The Royal Hotel is one of the highlights of the Arkhamverse, as are the subsequent paralleling flashback sequences. I can't recommend it enough. At no point did that game feel like it dragged and honestly I can't wait to go back and replay it once I stop being lazy and verify my account on my 360.

I wonder why Arkham City has such a great score on sites like Gamespot and Arkham Origins is considerably below. I've only seen parts of it on YT but it seems great, even though by these scores you're leat to believe it is much inferior to Arkham City.

I never got it. City's a narrative mess while Origins' story stands head and shoulders above the other three games. The only major jump I can see between AA and AC vs AC and AO, is that City did change the formula up a bit. Open world, gliding, all that fun stuff. Origins doesn't have quite the leap but honestly it really doesn't need to. It takes the best aspects of the previous games and ties them together under a great story.

 

[Red Hood]

Ok. I will buy it then.

One thing i noticed is that the city in AC looks much better. Maybe there´s a reason to it.

 

[TX85]

I prefer AK's Gotham to AC's but overall I have to go with AO's because it's still bigger than AC and the Christmas theme with snow element is fantastic. I actually like the huge blizzard excuse than Gotham being evacuated because of a threat

It's a glitchy game with a scenery that is very bland. As a video game it's weaker than AC but the story is better. I like the game but basing it on it's merits as a game it's now where near the level of AK. This is all my opinion but to me it's going to feel like playing the first Assassin Creed after playing Assassin Creed II. Arkham knight is that big of a jump in gameplay to AO

lol well victor Lucas of EPN.TV AKA the electric playground was the only one of the reviewers that had Arkham Origin's in the 12 out of 10 range when it came out. in thatit broke the scale for him while his workers give him looks til this day.

but he's has bia's for bat man. but it was a good game Arkham knight is ok and some scored it 10 while others scored it 9'0 in there second opinion the other reviewer from the EPN.tv site it was score a 9.0 by two different reviewers in case youone ofthose veiwers that found vic's score too bia's. he gave knight a 10/10 other later gave 9 -10 from his site and other that aren't apart of site/show . So it's good . it seems he liked Origins more though. he one of the very few though.

I'm pretty sure they are the same. They even used TDK promo image for TDKR poster. For some reason I didn't like the suit at all in TDK but it looked really good in the next one.

 

[AnneFan]

I played the Tumbler tracks. Nothing spectacular, though I guess it's their take on 'flying on rooftops' ala BB. But still would've preferred cameos like the Slaughter truck, camouflage Tumblers, etc.

 

[Drz]

Origins has the best story, dialogue and memorable voice acting from Batman ans Alfred.

 

[jonathancrane]

I agree with DRZ.

 

[TX85]

The Tumbler race tracks suck but the vehicle itself in free roam is great!

 

[Mister J]

Not all that enamored with the Tumbler-specific race tracks (I have more fun just running over everything in the city), but the look, feel and sounds of the vehicle are sooooooooooooo good. Throwing on that Zimmer soundtrack while it 's going just brings it all home.

I think the '66 Batmobile pack is going to be a lot of fun though.

It's a glitchy game with a scenery that is very bland. As a video game it's weaker than AC but the story is better.

What a lot of poeple who bash AO refuse to admit is... the glitchyness doesn't affect everyone. I literally only had it freeze twice on me. Twice during Fast Travel. That's it. I didn't have anything else happen.

Not everyone was besieged by glitches in AO, and frankly, given that I had next-to-nothing, I think some people were overexagerrating to troll because it wasn't made by Rocksteady.

And the scenery bland? At least the Christmas themes are apparent, as opposed to the 'supposed' Halloween theme of AK.

And how can it be a weaker game than AC, when it has everything that AC had, but more? It adds at least 3 new enemy types, the map is bigger, includes the Batcave, has better DLC than AC, and has the best boss battles of the series.

Sometimes, I think people just really don't want to give AO any credit simply because it wasn't made by Rocksteady. If RS did make it, people would say it wasn't enough of a leap forward, but otherwise they'd praise it.

Proof's in the pudding, I think: AK is clearly as glitchy (or worse) as AO supposedly was, but people aren't whining in the streets about it, PC version aside.
