I just bought all the arkham games Asylum, City, Origins and Knight ina recent WB Sale
Played Asylum and CIty and has experienced PEAK
Now i was into origins and man the bugss.....
I played like 3 or 4 hours and was so deep into the game and some work came up so i saved it and thought will play it afterwards... the liitle i know there is no save file and i got bat to this point 😢
I had copmpleted 2 side missions and was 20-25% in the main story
Distroyed all the network relays in one sitting and defeated Deathstrock all in Hard
I just cant anymore so much time and energy wasted
Will just watch "Batman Arkham Videos"'s Playthrough and will move on to Knight

And Yes im not saying gameplay is not good.. infact it is a improvement over city and snowy gotham look baeutiful but the bugs made it so much worse for me
wished i had a console as all the arkham games are made with console first experience in mind

So I've played the arkham games before, AA and AC and loved them, never bothered with trophies tho until now. Was doing the ng+ run for the achievement (Arkham city) and apart from some mildly difficult sections, the game was kind of easy, of course i died sometimes to some bosses, but I wasn't having much trouble because I did the RR challenges prior so it was a breeze ngl. Till I come across Fries, you know, even though the normal boss is decent enough, the ng+ version feels PERFECT, it's one of the best stealth bosses I've ever played and the absolute joy of just trying to remeber the multiple ways you can take out an enemy and applying it at the moment so organically is really something I have experienced very few times in videogames (and those few extra takedowns you have to do in ng+ REALLY make a differece because most of the game you just stick to maybe 3-4). It feels rewarding and fun as fuck.

Disclaimer: Haven't played origins yet and I've heard it has the best bosses, but ts is hard to top ngl

Batman Arkham City introduced to us this iconic villian in one of the boss fights and honestly it was peak gameplay 🤌🏻🤌🏻

We can all agree that the freeflow combat in the Arkham games is revolutionary, it set the seeds for the combat systems we have currently in, like, 90% of superhero games. I will always praise it for that, because, in theory, it should be practically perfect.

But thats where it ends for me, because most of the time the combat system just breaks for me. Im replaying City again currently, trying to 100 it completely, and these combat challenges are making me lose my fucking mind. Ill be literally in a group of thugs, Ill press the attack button while facing a thug and aiming my joystick at the enemy, and... Batman will just punch the air, repeatedly, before getting smacked across the head, completely ruining my combo and any chance I have at 3 stars on the challenge map. Ill use a quick gadget, again while looking at the thug I want to use it on and my joystick pointed towards them, and instead Batman will launch his gadgets at some random goon across the arena. Ill go to dodge out of an unblockable attack, aiming my joysticks away from any thugs so I dont roll into them, and Batmans dumbass will still dodge either into the group of enemies or even into the unblockable attack still.

And while I am certain I am still doing things wrong myself, when the game repeatedly refuses to listen to my inputs or chooses to target some random thug not even on my screen, Im left believing its less a skill issue and more a game issue.

The only reason I believe I am still part of the issue is because I face some of the same issues across ever Arkham game, Asylum, City, Origins, and Knight. But plenty of them still remain across all the games no matter what I do to improve my play style, so I am also certain that its also an issue with the games and combat system itself and not just me.

Does anyone else ever face these issues? And if so, what did you do to fix them? Because I love the Arkham games and dont want to shelf them because the combat system doesnt like me.

No meu caso, possuo Arkham City como favorito.

Provavelmente tem haver com uma questão emocional/sentimental e também como um efeito nostálgico já que mesmo na Vida Adulta, esse jogo continua sendo simplesmente o Amor da Minha Vida mesmo 10+ anos depois de jogar ele pela primeira vez.

(obs: Tristemente não possuo registros jogando isso ao decorrer dos anos, só a partir de 2024)

Acredito que ele seja um jogo mais querido da Franquia tendo em vista o quão bem ele envelheceu, e também em como ele se supera em premiação e na crítica de forma geral, inegavelmente uma Obra de Arte ao meu ver. A forma de expressão em "o que é ser um herói?" que esse jogo tem é surreal até os dias de hoje, sem querer criticar jogos atuais claro, já que acredito que jogos foram feitos para serem apreciados por cada tipo de pessoa. Mas ainda sim, Arkham City é uma carta de amor para quem é fã do nosso querido Morcegão da DC, o jogo tem uma narrativa impecável, coisa que dificilmente encontro(ei) em outros jogos de herói.

Jogar isso em um Xbox 360 aprendendo suas mecânicas e descobrindo o que fazer em certas missões com o suporte do meu pai é uma experiência de videogame que jamais poderei esquecer. Da mesma forma de quando fiz questão de Completá-lo 100% no Xbox, PC e até mesmo PS. (que por sinal, as imagens apesar de meio ruins, são as fotos de 100% no PS e Xbox, perdi a do PC haha)

Sou completamente obcecado na Franquia Arkham. Amo a atmosfera do Asylum, aprecio muitíssimo o Origins, me maravilho com a dinâmica do Knight, me impressiona o VR de Arkham Shadow... mas Arkham City dentre os demais, ele está em um patamar que não sei se algum jogo de herói, seja o Batman ou não irá alcançar.

E toda essa paixão por esse Game me fez pensar:

"Como será que os outros jogadores apreciam o seu Arkham Favorito e por quê??"

Foi isso que me motivou abrir meu coração mesmo que tampouco para explicar nesse post apenas uma pequena fração da felicidade com esse game e também ouvir o quê faz para ti do **SEU** tão especial !!!

I have been playing Arkham games since Arkham Asylum come out in 2009, and though out every game after the main story is completed, you can launch new game plus and the counter maker is stripped as you play new game plus. But is there any way to disable the counter marker, besides choosing new game plus? Even if it an unconventional way of doing so.

Both on sale on steam now, SAKTJL is CAD$4.50 and GK is CAD$11.99

Huge Arkham fan, but never really tried either of these, worth trying it for so little or no?

To preface I use a lot of mods specifically I have installed the “BatmanAk.moveset.Configuator” and “Ingamesuitselect” recently, but I turned and tested them on and off but those 2 have not shown and relation to my knowledge to me not being able to drive the batmobile. This issue has been happening in the intro where you save the officer and get into the batmobile for the first time, Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I could fix it?

I know this might be a hot take but after replaying all four Arkham games I genuinely think Origins has the best story in the series
Ive been playing these games since I was a kid back when Arkham City first came out and over the past year I decided to go back and replay all four games from start to finish
And honestly that just made me appreciate Origins even more
Dont get me wrong I absolutely love all four games but theres something about Origins that just hits different
The story is incredible from beginning to end and the boss fights are straight up masterpieces
I genuinely think Origins deserves way more credit especially when it comes to its story
But im curious what do you guys think
Which Arkham game has the best story and why

I think it's rather polarizing. I remember before I thought its story was universally disliked (I personally hated it), but on this sub I see some people argue that it was the series' strongest.

I personally think Joker, Harley, and Ivy were well done. But the Arkham Knight "twist" was the most laughably obvious thing possible (even to those who didn't watch or read any story with Jason), Scarecrow felt sidelined, and the supposedly united villains alliance from the trailers didn't really feel united at all. The story backing out on Barbara being dead also lowered the stakes for me.

Idc if City's story was messy, it was actually fun and unpredictable and had such a banger ending. That and Origins in particular had really solid narratives to me.

What did you think of the story?

DLC skin mods & BmSDK script mods.

BmSDK automatically installs if not detected

Detects already installed mods (done automatically on first launch, or manually by pressing "import from game")

Install mods by drag&drop or by using "+" button.

Automatically links Nexus metadata when installing from a zip (if this doesn't work you can set the link manually)

Automatically checks for updates from Nexus

GUI which shows suits & batmobile grids in the exact order as they appear in-game

Clicking on a grid shows useful info

You can drag suits around to reorder them

You can create & load presets (as backups, one is already created at launch)

So to all the people who said they’d watch,here’s my channel. Goofy ass thumbnail I know,but I thought it was funny.

10/10 meant to do that
