    Fair enough.

    I'm not really the kind of person to play a game and be all, "It's good, but it's not quite ______ enough" though, you know? Setting is just flavor for me, more or less. I just want to play a good game, and I'm not really bound to opinions on whether or not game X is canon enough or whatever else.

    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

    I dunno I descended on a ton of thugs in AA

    My opinion is there are more overall minuses on AC than AA

    perhaps fewer pluses for AA but I'll take the solid B+ instead of a game that's mostly As and then a couple D+ areas like art design

    city has too many goddamn riddler trophies

    and while I know they're optional, they're fucking omnipresent

    I think I'm gonna buy this real soon.

    Seriously any video game that lets you be a robotic T-Rex in both single and multiplayer deserves a lot of credit.

    I love both Arkham games, but City beats out Asylum for me, in spite of its issues (that game needed like half the amount of riddler trophies it had).

    And as for the comment attacking Brad's RE6 opinions, I knew immediately 'granted I haven't played it yet' would be there, it was inevitable.

    Arkham Asylum is Batman + Metroid

    Arkham City is Batman + Zelda

    It took me hours and hours to recognize this and realize that City is the better game

    But Asylum came out of nowhere, so it gets major bonus points for that

    Also City had some lame boss fights like Asylum, but it also had two boss fights that were absolutely amazing.

    You know which two.

    It's kinda telling when Batman porn has Harley Quinn covered up more than the games.

    Exactly. I was so frustrated - endlessly frustrated - that Brad kept referring to City as an open world game. It's so much Zelda it's crazy.

    Yeah, it's fine. It often produces ridiculous fucking people, though.

    Back when I used to manage this little coffee shop a few years ago, there was an anime fan group that would meet about twice a week for a couple hours at a time, and they were the most loud, awkward, annoying group of girls I'd ever seen. I literally thought one of them was blind for like two weeks because she looked at anything but my face whenever I had to interact with her. One day, one came in wearing a giant furry fox tale. Other days, they'd have miniature cowboy hat things on their heads--all squeaking and squawking.

    I am stereotyping, and for that I'm sorry. I love all of you, for what it's worth.
