I own the first two batman games somehow. I could never warm to them. It's kinds tough when you simply aren't into any batman stuff. As silly as it sounds, I can't get over the fact that your a man dressed as a super serious crime fighting bat.

I rarely ever buy games at launch so I never experience those problems.

It's such an improvement on origins. I couldn't get into that at all. Pretty much abandoned it. AK starts out perfect and just maintains it with excellent storytelling. It does kind of throw you in at the deep end and it takes a while to get into the swing of things but, so good.

where is it 12 euro?

I love that. I just keep saying "I'm batman" all the time while playing it.

g2play, it might be €12.99. They have a few editions. The full on version with the DLC was €18 I think. The one I got just came with a load of skins.

I own Asylum and Origins and i cant warm to them either, i will play and complete them eventually but its not a series im vested in. The nephew loves them in fairness, he plays them whenever he comes over but im not to keen myself, the reason i will finish them is to get them on to my completed list.

wotzgoingon · 07-03-2016 09:11PM

I played asylum and city but not origins or knight, must get the last two as I loved the first two.

While I enjoyed City, that style of combat has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's why I've not bothered with Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max

Yeah I agree. You just keep tapping A while Batman does all these ridiculous combos. You aren't actually doing much as the player other than watching the fight.

Links234 · 07-03-2016 10:15PM

It was the same thing with Remember Me, it was a good game marred by that same dull combat.

It's funny though, a lot of people have said they disliked the combat in The Witcher 3, but compared to the Batman style combat, I way prefer it. When to parry isn't signposted for you in bright flashing icons.

There's a bit more to it in AK, can't directly attack the guys with shields or tasers, have to watch out for guns, and it's all there from the start. Fights seem to go much better if you do some recon before hand and plan it out a bit. There's more of an element of tactics to tip the fight in your favour.

Play Hard Mode

I actually preferred the Arkham games with the indictaors turned off after I played them that way, the lights are distraction.

I personally got very bored of the Witcher 3 quickly, not mad on the combat. I like the Arkham system a lot, because it looks cool as hell, I find it entertaining to watch

Kiith · 07-03-2016 11:38PM

Was just thinking of the combat in the Arkham games, and i remembered a game i've not played in years, Oni. Was an old anime stlye 3rd person combat game, which i remember having amazing combat. Looked it up there, and boy have we come a long way since then :P

it's still brilliant

has a bit of a modding community behind it too, i see it pop on up facebook every now and again

Just played Tomb Raider 2013. Currently revisiting Resident Evil 4 on PC this time.

Links234 · 11-03-2016 09:54PM

I've been so sick the past couple of weeks I've barely had the energy or concentration to play much of anything. Finally think I'm over it, and my energy levels are getting back to normal again. Diving back into Witcher 3, and mopping up a load of side quests.

Tell me, did anyone else leave the wolf mask on after the masqeruade ball? :pac:

pablomakaveli · 13-03-2016 02:45AM

My gaming life is revolving around Stardew Valley atm. I'm addicted to it. Absolutely love it. I had been playing Ori and the Blind Forest which i've gotten a couple of hours played and still dipping in and out of Viscera Cleanup Detail. I finished all the main maps in that so started the Halloween DLC one which looks massive so thatll take a while.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 13-03-2016 09:39PM

I need someone to wean me away from this. So addictive.

Glebee · 15-03-2016 11:15PM

Never Alone. Not quite sure what to make of this cute little platform / documentary type game. It does look nice and the video clips tell a nice story. Ill finish it out anyway because of its uniqueness I guess.

Links234 · 15-03-2016 11:48PM

Ugh, that feel when you fail a quest because you did another quest that rendered it uncompletable. **** you Witcher 3, **** you! :mad:

pablomakaveli · 16-03-2016 02:57AM

Which quest was it?

Links234 · 16-03-2016 03:00AM

Following the Thread, the one where you're meant to help Lambert. Got as far as the point where you're supposed to meet him in Skellige, but just went straight ahead and did the main story quests there and then went to pick up Uma and on to Kaer Mohren, which once I got there, Lambert was there and the quest failed.

Korvanica · 16-03-2016 01:48PM

Just Started South Park: The Stick of Truth

Enjoying it a lot so far.

Cravez · 16-03-2016 02:57PM

Still playing alot of R6: Siege and also working my way through XCOM 2. Then dipping in and out of various other games if I am in the mood of.

Waiting on the Escape from Tarkov alpha to start sometime this month also!

That was one good game.

degrassinoel · 16-03-2016 09:28PM

their new one one is due out this year afaik, The Fractured But Whole

Digital Solitude · 16-03-2016 09:57PM

Been pissing through my backlog recently, I've hit bumps in Rouge Legacy and Mark of the Ninja.

Rouge Legacy gets so fun once you start getting upgrades, it's the kind of game I want to quit, then read my next characters traits, forget to quit and keep playing for another hour

I'm really enjoying it thus far.

Mark of the Ninja is so pretty, it's got spotty controls but I might give it a keyboard and mouse whirl and see. Only a few levels in, but I'm really enjoying it. No chance of hopping Dishonoured as my favourite stealth game.

I'm ashamed to say that it wasn't until someone put a smiley after the name before that I realised the humour in there. Was just the way I was reading it I suppose

kearneybobs · 19-03-2016 01:55AM

After getting it free some time ago on the Epic Games launcher I'm currently playing through Shadow Complex.

It's incredibly janky in terms of execution but it's still REALLY good fun to play. Textures aren't great, voice acting is terrible and the mo-cap isn't good either. Always wanted to play it when it released on Xbox 360 and dont regret starting it.

Jumped into this from KOTOR 2 (with the patch). Something about those games that about 1/3 of the way through I get bored/lose interest. Happened with the first one too, twice!!! I dont know if I need something more focused in scope. who knows but I love the mechanics etc but the overloading of conversations throws me off, possibly.

I played it on PC and enjoyed it but I REALLY enjoyed it on Vita. The Vita thumbsticks were perfect for that game, for me. Didn't quite make it to the end but loved it.

chrislad · 19-03-2016 02:44PM

The Witcher 3 is the first game to have broken Rocket Leagues hold on me in a long while! I'm about level 24 now, and about 26 hours in, just pissing about doing all the side quests before I go back to the main story.

Sonics2k · 19-03-2016 04:08PM

Fist of Jesus.

Nothing fantastic, but what a fantastic game.

Burning a lot of hours in a Classic WoW server, which I have to say has been a lot of fun and the community has been very good. No haxx, cheats, botting, or gold-buying/selling going on. In fact they recently banned 700 accounts for gold buying/selling recently to keep the server working well.
