ImpAtom posted:You played as a puckish rogue who quipped a ton and killed evil invading aliens with guns and fireballs. You're basically indistinguishable from an Avenger. Don't forget that you have a giant base and a color theme for everything. It's totally a superhero game. I'm pretty sure if your idea of "superhero game" requires a silly costume with the underpants on the outside, its costume creator would allow it.

My memory is a bit hazy but I'm pretty sure you could wear capes in Saints Row 3 and 4.

People have been making comics, cartoons, and movie about Superman for decades, I'm sure someone can think of ideas for a game.

i thought Arkham Knight was the one everyone hated, because of the batmobile stuff being really mediocre

Origins and Knight are half assed games with terrible stories. Arkham City's fine, despite some story problems. I get the feeling Arkham Superman is going to focus way too much on Luthor.

Arkham Knight has the Batman being a huge rear end in a top hat and the most Joker so it's my favorite.

None of the Arkham games have great stories, I wouldn't pit them against each other based on that category.Waffleman_ posted:I woulda liked to see Arkham Beyond. Yes, but only if they change a number of things about Beyond to get there.

I loved 99% of Knight - even the Tank - and it's my favorite of them but I'll admit I have terrible taste.

I stopped playing it the first time the tank showed up. It was so awful and exactly the opposite of what I want Batman to be.

The central premise of Origins is actually very cool which is why the way the game handles it was so disappointing to me. 2 of the villains aren't completely optional content. The best moment is actually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYH7K_IRTfw&t=60s But I also found it incredibly glitchy when it first released and that soured me on the game. Knight just needed to ease up on the loving Batmobile and have less segments take place outside.

I liked how they tried to make a super cool boss fight with Deathstroke but the combat system is clearly built for group fights

If the Superman game becomes popular or influential I wonder if we'll refer to it the way we've been using Arkham as shorthand for several years now. Like talking about how some upcoming game has "Krypton combat".

They gave him an entire game that pretty much had all the joker stuff anyone could ever want, including Killing Joke quotes, but for some reason he's the main villain of 3 other games.

The only thing I liked about the story was that it took the idea of the crime families being replaced by the freaks as literally as possible.

I 100% Asylum, City, and Knight. Would have with Origins but something about combat in the main game (and only the main game, the challenge maps and Cold, Cold Heart were fine) kept me from wanting to do it. If I never see another god drat Riddler trophy again I will die a happy man. If they have to do that again, more of the Asylum style of finding little bits that reference some comic thing would be great. Lurdiak posted:Bad OpenGL turn based combat?

To be honest I think the Superman Returns game had the right idea. Superman is insanely strong and invincible but using your powers intelligently to minimize damage is the key. It would take some creative as hell design though but the Mongul fight in that game is the closest I think a game has come to really feeling like a superpower battle. Shame about the rest of it. They even had the right idea for the gimmick "I want to gently caress around mode" and made it Bizarro mode.

I guess I just like that Origins is the only game in this entire series that calls Bruce out for being a total rear end in a top hat to those around him.

I kind of hate Origins, it's just so dull. Also Batman beating up cops to the point where he breaks into the GCPD precinct to fight them directly seems wildly out of character. Sure, the cops are awful and corrupt, but I still don't see that as something he would do while trying to establish his credentials as a vigilante.

Has anyone heard anything about the upcoming Spider-Man game? (September I think) They said the swinging is physics based but that doesn't necessarily mean the game will be Spider-Man 2 reincarnated. If that game lives up to my dreams I'd buy a PS4 just to play it.
