Man this is a tough call. Not sure who is winning here. But if you guys take a closer look, Arkham City has slightly better shadow effects.

halocursed4956d ago

Apart from better character models, lighting also seems much better on Arkham City.

ATi_Elite4956d ago

very few improvements as the plastic and play-doh look of everything from the crappy Unreal Engine.

Fortunately AA and AC will have great game play.

nickjkl4956d ago

i wonder if it will use mlaa or is it to late to incorporate that into a game since it was well underdevelopment

Red_Orange_Juice4956d ago

it's just a comparision, where's the stunning part, I wasn't stunned

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4956d ago

Wat? Arkham City version looks much improved. One of the few multiplats that I'm really looking forward too.

paintsville4956d ago

Hmmm this is really close. But I agree that AC is marginally better.

avengers19784956d ago

Wow both games look fantastic. Can't wait for Arkham City. Thinking of picking Arkham Asylum up again.
Amazing job by the development team.
Wonder if they could make a good superman game, since you know no one ever has.
Or Daredevil, they should do a Daredevil game.

Oh wow, they look darn near identical. What a surprise considering they're made for the same hardware. Moving on.

TROLLLLLLLLLLLL

In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs is a term applied to jötnar. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together (usually as father-and-daughter or mother-and-son), and are rarely described as helpful or friendly.

Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls become defined as a particular beings, generally held to be larger than humans and notably ugly.Numerous tales about trolls are recorded, in which they are frequently described as being extremely old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted. They are sometimes described as man-eaters and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight. Into the 20th century, the origins of particular Scandinavian landmarks, such as particular stones, are ascribed to trolls.

A Scandinavian folk belief that lightning frightens away trolls and jötnar appears in numerous Scandinavian folktales, and may be a late reflection of the god Thor's role in fighting such beings. In connection, the lack of trolls and jötnar in modern Scandinavia is explained as a result of the "accuracy and efficiency of the lightning strokes".

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

RaidenBlack195d ago

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

anal_vegan_moans194d ago

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

GhostScholar194d ago

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

Ezio2048195d ago

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

Tacoboto195d ago

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

darthv72195d ago

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Zeke68195d ago

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv72194d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.

GaboonViper195d ago

And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.

BehindTheRows195d ago

From the same folks who gave it a 10/10 no less.

Aloymetal195d ago

'' here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece''
You know that train is never late.

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 302d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama302d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149302d ago (Edited 302d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto302d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal302d ago (Edited 302d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius302d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012302d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda302d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2302d ago (Edited 302d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
