I also love Asylum for its Metroid-yness (God, I want a new Metroid game) but I do think it was important for Rocksteady to establish its own identity for the series, lest the franchise just become another in a long line of "Meh"troidvania ripoffs.

Knight even uses the "crime scene reconstruction" stuff, which was introduced in Origins.
Yeah, Origins was always going to be in a tough spot; we knew Rocksteady was working on a next-gen Batman game, so Origins was, truly, filler. But it's really damn good filler. I have no problem saying that the Joker-Meets-Harley…

I like this a lot. I think there's a lot of merit in what Rocksteady did City and Knight—it doesn't always work narrative-wise, but having an overwhelming amount of bad guys, side-missions and Riddler gauntlets really does make you feel like Batman on the worst night of his life. As a comic-book reader, though, I…

I've enjoyed all 4 games (and from what I've played of Blackgate, it's pretty solid, too) but I agree that Asylum was the tightest from a design standpoint. There was this brief period around the time it came out (Bioshock, Asylum, Uncharted 2) where developers embraced linear storytelling and complex, rich level…

He's just trying to get everything in its right place.

Thom Yorke gets a free pass for life. The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows, Eraser, Atoms for Peace…
Yeah. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

But celebrity tweets are so much shorter than medical journals!

Off topic, but a review of the new Batman game (I think it was Gamespot's) unironically and genuinely called Batman a scientist.

He probably can't remember the facts after his cellphone melted his brain with cancer.

Is it just me or are the majority of people complaining about this "conspiracy" NOT autistic or parents of autistic children?
It only ever seems like entitled upper/middle class white people who want to pretend they care about an issue they heard about or read about like, one time. Or just really dumb people.
Idiots.…

I see The Meltdown as a mystery show where the audience is supposed to figure out how Jonah Ray is supposedly funny.

PLEASE call him Mr. Marshall.
Will this detract from his monster-hunting adventures? Or getting around to releasing his film series based around the days of the week?

I was suckered into paying the extra $40 for the season pass, only to realize that 90% of the costumes/Batmobile skins are console-exclusive. I have an XBox One, so I get the Earth 2 Batman and that's it.
Not to sound like a spoiled brat, it's just a bummer to spend more money than I had any right to (or had, at all)…

" I also wish that they'd have limited the Riddler stuff to the overworld, because it was pretty obvious that they designed the interior areas with the thought that you'd only be there once and then just stuck in trophies later;"
I think you just described every Arkham game since Asylum. Already I know Knight's going…

I just played that part last night…damn. Yeah.
That's dumb.

I thought the third season was far and away the best season—the most well-paced, least-ridiculous, and the political issues they tackled were actually interesting (I don't even remember the first season's story, and I think the second season's political story was basically just the Phantom Menace).
That being said I'm…

My guess is Talia Al Ghul, who they mention for absolutely no reason early on in the game.

Ah, but what if I told you you COULD play as more characters if you were willing to part with another $40?

Discovering that you can switch to "toggle" mode to switch between Tank and Car is one of the great discoveries I've made in my life.
I…haven't discovered many things.

To me, it made it all the more satisfying to leap down and kick their asses. All these games go out of their way to make the thugs the dumbest, shittiest people in the world. I was more offended by Catwoman's puns.
