    I like how everyone in the Arkham games looks outside of Gordon

    *shrugs*

    the penguin has the bottom of a beer bottle jammed into his eye socket instead of a monocle

    Fair enough, that was dumb.

    Wait

    Is this supposed to be an example of a good thing or a bad thing

    it is a twelve-year-old's idea of how to "gritty up" the Penguin's look

    The Penguin

    a character who is named after how classy he dresses

    there might be some humor to mine from it but the game plays itself completely straight so it just comes off as trying too hard

    I assume he wore a monocle before that incident

    I thought it looked cool

    I'm just happy they're not making a sequel to Arkham City.
    How can you top killing the Joker?

    Also this was my favorite part of AC

    Just all the writing for the thugs was great. Really made Arkham feel like a place where these dudes lived.

    Asylum is better than City, it's not even a contest.
    City isn't bad or anything, it's just kinda flabby.

    That's the thing, of course everything looks immaturely gritty and sexy, but to me that just has the feel of, well, comicbooks. I pick up a recent Batman and yup, it looks pretty much like that too.

    Frank Miller isn't the beginning and end of Batman, nor should he be. I mean, could you imagine if Miller created a video game? He'd reduce Harley Quinn to a sex object and have the thugs talk about raping Catwoman.

    They left the plot wide open for a sequel with Azrael's appearance. He pretty much literally said "oh ho ho you'll know more about this in the sequel".

    I've got some great wrong opinions.

    But I just think how they handled the side stuff gets in the way of the main story.
    A main story which probably wasn't as good as Asylum's anyway.

    yeah see i love how the side missions pop up and sort of get in the way

    this is a night in batman's life. it's never very simple

    and the plot of arkham asylum might as well not even exist it's so bare bones. i found city to be way more interesting

    TAS is the best version of Batman.

    That's why Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman movie.

    I agree, it would be amazing if they made a game as deep as Arkham City, but set in a more traditional comic book world, not something all modernized and "extreme."

    But a lot of people assume that this is what they are making, just because one of the developers said that they were going to make a game set further back closer to Batman's origin, where he's meeting some other DC heroes for the first time. I just think it's going to end in disappointment for people who are expecting them to do a complete 180 on the art style.

    I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure that the whole Gathering of the Juggalos art style was a pretty big selling point for a lot of the people who bought those games.

    Ahahaha, of course you would bring up the "it's realistic so it's okay!" defense.

    It is the pinnacle of missing the fucking point.

    I'm sick of explaining things like this, so I'm gonna let Hulk do it for me.

    I hope them selling all those skins was an experiment

    Tracking all the people who bought an Animated Series one and leveraging that against whether they should make their next game in that style

    Oh really, that's how they did it?

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    also there's a lot of bad opinions up ins and I can't go back through four pages and dissect all of them so here's the shortlist

    -Asylum is better than City from an overall standpoint even if City has better mechanics

    -Chrono Cross is great as a standalone game but urinates all over Chrono Trigger

    -Using review scores/reviews themselves as an end-all be-all approach to games is fucking stupid

    I could go along with the idea that Asylum has better level design and manages the whole metroidvania thing a lot better

    but it just ain't quite batman if you're not leaping rooftops and descending on random thugs
