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.

how is a game where the only things that can feasibly hurt you are Doomsday, Darkseid, and Kryptonite any less boring?

If they don't have any good ideas for a Superman game, they don't have to make one.

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.

None of the Arkham games have great stories, I wouldn't pit them against each other based on that category.

Well, from the rumor it's supposedly Braniac that's the main villain.

Would be cool if they had Lex develop into the anti-hero with the Superman armor.

I understand that people were annoyed that the Joker was in Arkham Origins, but the story of a new Batman fighting a gauntlet of villains is a pretty good story.

And it has one of my all time favourite Batman moments.

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:

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".

Dude, I was annoyed he was in City. 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.

Who ever has the rights to the Prototype engine should really use it to either make a Superman or the Hulk game.

What's on your mind, Axa?
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.

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.

The very next game in the series is about people getting infected with a viral disease that turns them into the Joker.

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.

Android Blues

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.

...Do you understand?
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.

There are tons of gameplay videos out since the game is releasing soon
