Hope they don't be like wats done often in comics and resurrect him for the 3rd game.

And I give major credit to B:AC and skyrim in re-proving single player games can sell big with no need to tack on MP

SilentNegotiator4458d ago

....but with passes to punish both new buyers and future players, and game-breaking glitches to punish early adapters.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

I hope they keep Joker dead if (oh who am I kidding; WHEN) they make another Batman: Arkham title. Resurrections, new sidekicks, multi-verse junk still poking its head out every once in a while.....it's all so goofy. For everything I love about DC comics, I can't stand all of those sorts of things. I know they like making money, so they keep characters alive, create new alternate stories, etc.....but they don't have to do that for this series of games. I like stories that actually have endings and closure, and Arkham City had that.

MizTv4458d ago

the only thing i didnt like about aa was the end but this game was good all around!

Enigma_20994458d ago

I'm thinking that bit of antidote he licked off the ground may actually work. Other than that, I don't see how they can bring him back.

InTheLab4458d ago

Batman can afford to lose a few villains. Even one as iconic as the Joker...but...

How do you carry out the Joker and just leave the only woman you ever loved to die in a hot fire? She can't rez in the Lazarus pits if she's a pile of ash...The good news is, if Talia is dead, we won't have to deal with that annoying Damien O.o

"How do you carry out the Joker and just leave the only woman you ever loved to die in a hot fire?"

I thought that was a really interesting way to end the game. Because even though Talia was "the only woman Batman ever loved", in the end she wasn't as important to Bats as the Joker was. In the end the Joker was right - he is the only person who truly understands Batman. They are two sides of the same insane, fucked-up, co-dependent coin.

"If we did multiplayer then we wouldn't have been able to deliver the quality of game that people wanted - that we wanted. We would end up delivering two watered down products."

This is what a lot of developers don't get and this is why games like Batman Arkham City and Skyrim are some of the best games you will ever play this gen. Also i really wish they didn't kill Joker as he is one of my favorite villains in Batman.

Lame
Lame flame bait for clicks. As the owners of N4G, the expectation is that you'd have much higher standards with delivering quality content. The general consensus is that you're a trash site, who is only going to keep pumping out more trash for clicks. That's not right, do better.

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

RaidenBlack191d 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_moans190d 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.

GhostScholar190d ago

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

Ezio2048191d 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.

Tacoboto191d 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

darthv72191d 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.

Zeke68191d ago

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

darthv72190d ago

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

GaboonViper191d ago

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

BehindTheRows191d ago

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

Aloymetal191d 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 298d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama298d 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.

badz149298d ago (Edited 298d 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

Tacoboto298d 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.

Aloymetal298d ago (Edited 298d 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!

Demetrius298d 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

ClayRules2012298d ago

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

Elda298d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2298d ago (Edited 298d 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 .
