Combat isn't easy at all in Arkham Knight, not when you have to face armed enemies anyway, there's a lot of variation imo with armored enemies, enemies who gently caress with your detective view, ones that have electric batons, huge enemies, knife ninjas, etc. It's a great game.

It also kinda assumes you've played the others in the combos. You'll definitely want to have a page on your phone with all the combos beside you while you play for a while.

There is no tutorial or training mode or anything? And my press buttons on a boring steady rhythm while yawning Shadow of Mordor skills don't transfer?

there's tutorials but only for gameplay mechanics that weren't in the previous arkham games iirc. they mix up the combat a lot more in arkham knight tho, there's a bunch of new enemy types that make battles a bit too chaotic for me to keep track of sometimes imo

I was worried the game would be too easy and repetative but now it sounds like a mountain to climb for someone who haven't played the previous games. But I do it anyway.

It's fine and super easy and you don't need to know anything going in. I hadn't played one since Asylum and breezed through Knight.

Honestly you should play the previous games because they're good, I think Asylum is probably the best because it's so tightly designed

IMO, the games get worse as they go on, and Knight is TERRIBLE at easing you into it... it acts as if you were playing City the day before. So play them in order. Or just play the first one.

Maybe we should make this the new thread title for the next few weeks. Play the arkham games in order. Origins is the only one that can be skipped and it'd also the one not getting a remaster.

Arkham Knight spoils the biggest holy poo poo moment of the first two games within about ten seconds of booting it up, so you may want to hold off for those remasters.

Soft Shell Crab posted:Is the holy poo poo moment the other Batman? I think I remember seeing some super Batman in Arkham Night trailer or something. Nope. Without getting too specific, it basically shows off the consequences of what the last two games built up to, and immediately spoils how Arkham City ended. They did a REALLY good job of avoiding it in the prerelease materials, and it's a pretty major plot point for the rest of the game as well, both thematically and in terms of the rest of the story development. All three of them are really good Batman stories, but Knight really gains all of its gravitas from you having played and gotten invested in the other two first. Definitely worth grabbing on sale to hang on to, but between the plot and the gameplay being a natural extension of the others (like, imagine a new Metroid where you still have all of your junk from the last one and don't conveniently lose it in a plot-splosion), I'd really suggest against starting the series on the wrong end. e: Ironically, Arkham Knight's Batgirl DLC happens before any of them, though it's basically skippable. Fun, but unnecessary. Dewgy fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Oct 18, 2016 |

So I checked out World of Final Fantasy and I gotta say, it seems like an interesting package. For a dumb fanservice game, it sure has a lot of effort put into it. The whole plot is kinda Kingdom Heartsy but it almost feels like a parody. The combat system doesn't really scratch much of what you can ultimately do with it, but the stacking system appears to at least factor heavily into strategy, and it seems like a weird but novel approach to a monster-raising game. Having enemy recruitment be a puzzle you solve seems like a cool concept, but I only ever triggered an enemy's imprison criteria once and it was in a battle where I didn't get more than one attempt to capture the thing, so I didn't recruit any monsters beyond the initial one. I dunno, I might actually shell out for this one, though not likely at launch. I'd want to see maybe a few examples of some more complicated things you can do with the stacks, so far it seems like there's not TOO much reason not to just go at max stacks all the time. Presumably enemies will start having more dramatic balance-damaging abilities, but I dunno. Just something to let me know what I might be capable of in actual gameplay terms. The spectacle of super deformed Final Fantasy characters doing ludicrous action moves works on some strange level of humor.

Presumably enemies will start having more dramatic balance-damaging abilities, but I dunno. ImpAtom said in the FF thread that being max stacked does in fact make you much easier to tip over, so it'll most likely play into things later. most likely in boss stuff, rather than trash mobs, but that's standard FF battle strategy for everything besides Tactics, where trash mobs have a better chance of wiping you than a lot of the bosses, by the end of the game.

Arkham Knight surprisingly turned out to be one of the best games I ever played and I 100%ed it without it ever feeling like a chore (but don't feel you have to do this), but it's definitely geared towards players who are familiar with Asylum and City. Not even just for the story, but the controls and gadgets in these take off where the previous game left. I think it's a bit of a flaw, actually, and that there are just too many options for too few buttons. On the other hand, you can always beat on some street-level thugs to familiarize yourself with the controls, and it's perfectly possible to 100% it without ever touching some of the more obscure combo options.

Just wanted to say that Battlefield 1has (so far, 3/6 stories played) one of the best singleplayer shooter campaigns I have ever experienced. Not just tolerable, not just good, but genuinely great. Battlefield. hosed up right? No-one expected that.

Same, I much preferred the enclosed structure of the first game to the generic (if nice looking) open world of the sequels.

City and onwards' open world doesn't add anything to the game and mucks up the pacing with a bunch of samey travelling between mission locations (granted the travelling is fun initially, but it gets boring fast).
