    What happens if you destroy all the TITAN containers in Arkham City before meeting Bane?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 10:04 PM PDT

    I never actually tried to destroy all the containers before actually meeting Bane so I'm wondering what happens.

    Interesting Arkham Fact.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 10:33 PM PDT

    After you save Cash at your first visit to the church in Arkham City you can speak to him and batman will joke that he would work and office job after the events of Asylum. Later in Arkham Knight in the GCPD Cash spend the whole night at an office desk.

    Asylum : Lunatics on the way to the Gardens

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 11:24 PM PDT

    I forgot how much these Lunatics spook me! I was taking a nice scan of Wayne Tower, and one of them jumped on Batman's back! Legit terrified me! I almost dropped the controller as I panicked to press X.

    Usually I just walk up to them and counter as they run at me, followed by a ground pound. But I must have missed one.

    That and that screech howl thing they do. No thank you.

    Moneyhiest Easter Egg in Arkham Knight. How the fu Riddler missed this!!!

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 11:11 PM PDT

    Where exactly was Jason Todd tortured in Arkham Asylum?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 04:06 PM PDT

    I know that in Arkham knight he said "in an abandoned wing of Arkham." Some people say it was in the sanitarium room but that's not really an abandon wing of Arkham. Based on the scenes we saw in Arkham knight it looks like he was tortured in the medical building of the asylum. But where exactly? Is it somewhere we can access in the game and see? Or is it in an actual abandoned wing we don't have access to in game. Like a secret wing under or next to the medical facility? Thought?

    Arkham Asylum appreciation and why it’s my favorite.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 12:19 PM PDT

    With all the usual posts about how "Origins is an under-appreciated masterpiece," and how "City is one of the best games ever," and how "Knight aka World of Tanks is either underrated or overrated," this sub tends to neglect Asylum. I recently did a replay of it and while I think Knight is probably the overall best, I genuinely think Asylum is my favorite and I wish this sub would give it more love. This will be a long post, but I'll put a tl;dr at the bottom.

    I know it's kind of a meme at this point to say that Asylum has the "best atmosphere," but I truly think that's what pushes it over the edge to me. Asylum has the best art direction, environmental details, and mood of the entire series. It honestly feels like a survival-horror game, since Batman has limited gadgets and has to rely on combat skills and ingenuity more than he does in later games. Most of all, Asylum is legit the scariest and darkest of all the games. Hearing about the spot that's famous for prisoner suicides, seeing how run-down and disorganized certain spots in the island are, how quiet and eerie the buildings so often are, the little details like Mad Dog's signature etched into a bench- it all builds to a creepy atmosphere.

    I especially want to give applause to the games's environment. Each building in this game feels unique and has their own identities. Part of it is the colors, like the sickly greens of the Botanical Gardens and the rustic browns of the Mansion. Part of it is due to the eclectic mix of Victorian, Gothic, and industrial architectural styles. Some rooms in the Hospital feel cramped, while the main halls in the Mansion feel huge due to the extremely high yet narrow ceilings. I genuinely think Asylum has one of the greatest worlds in any video game because of how varied its numerous locations are, but at the same time they all tie together nicely. The closest comparison I can think of in this regard is the original Bioshock. Each room is memorable, even the ones you only visit briefly like when you first save Doctor Young from the goons.

    Now this is where I'm going to approach "hot take" territory: not only do I agree with the reasons people love this game, but I also tend to think some of the criticisms are overblown. For example, while the final Joker boss fight is a bit too cartoony and underwhelming, I don't think it soils the experience by any means, and honestly feels like something Joker, at a low point due to Batman foiling his plan, would do. I also see people on this sub claim that Asylum feels dated and clunky, and I disagree there as well. Yes, Asylum has the least amount of gadgets and takedown moves, so if you want to say it has the overall weakest gameplay I can't necessarily argue. However, the game is by no means clunky; it's still just as fun and thrilling as it was in 2009, and I think the combat is actually more concise due to the counter-attack system being less forgiving than later games.

    Finally, I also think Asylum has the best story because it's the tightest, best-paced, and has the fewest issues. Yes, it's a little on the straightforward side, but at least it doesn't suffer from as many plot holes or messy decisions as the later games do. Knight of course has the predictable Jason Todd reveal, and the Barbara death fake-out that just feels like awkward writing on subsequent playthroughs. City has Hugo Strange constantly threaten to reveal Batman's identity, but he never actually does it even when Batman is two seconds away from stopping him. Also, the Clayface twist only really makes sense if you're a hardcore Batman fan who knows who Clayface is. Origins has a good story, but the Joker twist undermines how interesting of a villain Black Mask could have been, and Alfred dying is stupid because it's a prequel so we already know he survives. Plus, it always felt weird how to me how the plot introduces eight assassins but two of them never actually come after you unless you do the side missions.

    By comparison, Asylum's story has a cool mystery at the center of it, with Batman and Oracle trying to figure out what Joker's plan is, why he wants the Titan, and learning how Joker has been setting this up for months with the fake alias and e-mails. I also love how many friendly NPCs there are because of how they contribute to the world-building. The security guards and doctors are just ordinary people with crappy jobs who are way in over their heads. It makes Doctor Young's death feel much more personal, for example, and reinforces the survival-horror feel of the game. The sequels had fewer friendly NPCs to interact with, which made me miss the dynamic of Batman interacting with regular people.

    Don't get me wrong, I know that later games improved on the formula, and Knight in particular has some massive advantages (graphical fidelity, gameplay improvements, awesome side missions). But as the maps got bigger, and as the stories got longer and more convoluted, and as more side content was stuffed into the margins, the series lost some of that magic for me. I always find myself going back to Asylum and enjoying the tight, well-paced, creepy, tense, and unique experience it delivers. It's not perfect, but it's one of my all-time favorites and I'll always respect it for showing people how fantastic modern superhero games could be, and that original stories could beat rushed movie tie-ins. Without it we wouldn't have had Spider-Man PS4, and it set the gold standard that every subsequent superhero game has had to live up to.

    tl;dr Asylum has the best art direction, environments, atmosphere, and even story of the whole Arkham series, and it deserves to be discussed as much as the other games.

    Edit: Cleaned up some grammar and spelling.

    An idea/plot for the next batman game [spoilers for Arkham knight ending]

    Posted: 29 Jun 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    So at the end of Arkham knight Bruce Wayne "dies" (I'm like 99% sure Bruce's plan wasn't just "ima blow myself up lol") and in the epilogue we see someone's using scarecrow's fear gas to continue Batman's work.

    My idea for the next game is two fold: the storyline and a game mechanic.

    The storyline: the story could follow you, the player, as the new batman but it remains a mystery as who's behind the mask for the duration of the game. All the bat suits will have full face coverings so there's no way to deduce who it is. The ending will have some kind of reveal as to who you've been playing the whole time (maybe Dick Grayson, maybe Jason Todd, hell they could even lean into the feminism movement and make it so you were playing as Talia Al Ghul for the duration of the game).

    The game mechanic: the fear element shown in Arkham Knight now has a much more prominent role, Batman now has a separate gadget branch/unlock skill tree for some specially designed Scarecrow fear gas which he uses in multiple ways to endure fear upon his enemies. The more scared the enemies are the more irrational they'll act (signs will be blind firing in the direction they think batman is in, being visibly shakier, less vigilant, sometimes they'll just run away, etc.). Fear can be induced through the fear gas as well as basic means (like taking out all but one enemy, using your grapple to drag an enemy into the sewers in front of another enemy, having enemies discover the bodies of their friends, letting tracker enemies track you down but when they do you're standing right behind them, allowing enemies to see you for a split second before you use your grapple to disappear, etc.)

    The fear element of batman always seemed like it was missing from the Arkham games, Arkham Knight played out like a batman movie which I loved and I hold it as one of my favourite games of all time because of this, it's just that the fear part of batman was always missing. I wanna be able to make the bad guys feel terror as the batman zip lines, grapples, stealths his way around the area, taking them all out strategically.
