GrE writes, "This week, I was planning on playing my copy of Resistance 2: Fall of Man. But then, as part of the gaming hype machine, I saw the Catwoman trailer for the new Arkham City game. I suddenly felt like playing Arkham Asylum. Am I that easily influenced? Yeah, I guess I am. However, in my defense, Arkham Asylum has many wonderful things going for it. An engaging storyline, brilliant voice acting, solid combat mechanics and some interesting ways to include the detective part of the comic book character make it, in my opinion, the best comic book game ever. Why not play it for the column, I thought."
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
Reviews are finally out for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the game's Metacritic review score means Marvel still hasn't toppled DC.
The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.
'' here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece''
You know that train is never late.
GF365: "These are our picks for the ten best games to complete 100%. This list includes good games that don't feel like chores to complete."
I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.
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 .
Good read, I do that. I'd rather play on easy than not enjoy playing. If I'm not enjoying a game I just turn it off.
It's no fun to spend houls dying in the same spot.
I'm Batman.
This is just dumb, if you find that you are generally finding games very difficult then you should start off on easy in the first place. I've played both and although challenging, weren't particularly hard. Of course I understand that different gamers have different skill levels, these games aren't say Witcher 2 or Demons Souls which the entire gaming population finds relatively difficult. In the case of Witcher 2, I was stuck in the prologue (yes, even before the game started) and replayed the same section close to a dozen times before I finally continued. Why did I do this instead of switching to easy? Because I can't expect to get better at a game if I keep on quitting whenever a particular part becomes difficult.
TL;DR - If you generally find games difficult, start off on easy
some games I like the easy mode just to get the story and beat it quickly so i can move to the multiplayer...
That happened to me with Dead Space 2 but I started the game on hard, by the time I dropped it down to normal the game had pissed me off so much that the thought of playing it is off-putting.
The worst was FF13, I was really enjoying the game then all of a sudden the difficulty spikes significantly. There's no way I spending more than 3-4 tries on a boss that takes 1hr to kill - sold that game and I was so close to the end too.
Nothing I hate more than massive end game difficulty spikes or enemy spam.
