Actually wait I think one of them ends with you just beating up the joker uninhibited so that one was good

Yup, Orgins, you go inside the police church, he's right there and Batman just lays him FOTN style.

Mass Effect came out 2 years earlier and had the option of letting you convince the main boss to kill himself/talk him out of it. Fallout 2 did the same thing much earlier, surely they could've done something like that.

You still fight the bosses second phase, though, which felt like a tad bit of a lame cop-out.

batman is one of the established series that could totally pull off a mass effect/alpha protocol kind of thing where you make dialog choices to define 'your' batman among like, being a strong bruiser or a spooky scary guy or super gadget boy

that telltale batman i got from ps+ probably does something like this but i want it to be an actual game with beating up guys

that would be a fun as hell game if done well

also god yoshi’s island music kicks rear end

There's so much making GBS threads on Origins for Joker hijacking the plot and not adding much to the combat, but it's still got stronger writing than Knight and City...not to mention it doesn't bring in the goddamned Batmobile.

Its an extremely difficult ghouls-and-ghosts inspired in terms of controls platformer slathered in Anime. The game focuses on anthropomorphic penguins who are human souls cast into hell for their sins and cursed to die over, and over, and over again attempting to complete whatever random task the demon they're assigned to decides on.

I never actually took that path, so I only know it from hearing of it. Which, I guess, say something about feeling the need for something more substantial than 'talking the bad guy out of it'-- at least for me. Because I like the idea of it but I don't think I'd ever go with it in a combat focused game, and haven't, even in the very rare times it has been possible.

origins definitely had the best writing, it's not even close. even as the audience knows the big joker reveal is coming, batman's gradual increase in horror is really great

It's kind of dissapointing because it feels like it cheats you. He blows his own brains out, but surprise, puppet boss fight!!! Basically, it should have been the initial warning to everyone that Mass Effect 3 was not going to pan out the way they thought it would.

Not to mention it's the only game in the series that gives Bane any respect for his mind as depicted in the comics, even as they provide narrative reason for why he's a goddamned moron in every game afterward.

:goonsay: Technically, the correct name for the item is 'Horse Wiener'

Also, Atlus is just the publisher. The games are developed by Nippon Ichi Software, though that name might be attributed to Atlus USA's localization team.

If I remember right, the Prinny games are akin to the Ghost & Goblin games.
