dead island (to some extent)

thats all i can think of now

Why is batman over-rated? I get the others (except Max Payne, that series is really short, and it's gotten a good amount of positive hype).

I thought Batman was amazing, it's the only game where you play a good guy, and you never kill anyone. It's amazing how well they managed to pull that off, but the series is getting milked a bit.

because the game was utterly boring. yes, i said it. there was some SERIOUS problems.

1- gameplay. yes i know gameplay is praised in the game but i have NO idea why.

A) all i do is press square square square and i beat up everybody

B) platforming is the stupidest thing i ever seen in the game. its like batman is a dumb child when it comes to platforming, its waaaaaaaaay behind the likes of uncharted and assassins creed. its a shame because 

C) HORRIBLE boss fights. HORRIBLE! i mean WTF was THAT! all i do is throw a batarang! are you fucking kidding me?! or that boss fight in the underground swers, yeah that was horrible. walk walk walk, he (forgot his name) jumps out the water, i throw a batarang then he falls in the water, then repeat the same thing. same goes WITH EVERY boss fight. ohh and the scarecrow parts are a simple waste of time.

2) too many plot holes in the story, i mean seriously i tried to enjoy the story and tried to sink my teeth in it, but the story its self kept pushing me away. ohh and that part where batman rides his plain of what ever then it dropes him off at some place and then he is like " ohh i need to go to this other place" ( i played the game oer 2 years ago, sorry i dont remember the details) i mean why the fuck didnt he just use the plain to go to the joker?

3) Dumb AI. yes i know its a lot of games suffer from this but i still didnt like the AI in this game. mostly in the times i needed to play in a stealth way where i attacked people from hanging on top of the room. its just not natural how they acted, and they somehow all have bad eye sight since they lose sight of batman just by jumping around a little

4) worst ending boss fight ever. the game builds up to this from the very start. joker taunting you (which i enjoyed though) and always making you feel like he is one step ahead of you (but somehow he plans this stupid ending) and the boss fight is........ fighting normal people while the joker stands on the edge cheering the cops in the helicopters or what ever, i pull him down the first time and the fucking moron goes up, stands the same place and does the exact same thing. you know what? fuck this game and its stupid desgin, thats what i said to my self back then, and i still stand by it. i honestly never played a boss fight that stupid and bad

I appear to disagree with you. Compare Batmans controls to Devil May Cry, or even the notorious God of War. When you play challenge mode in Batman, and sting together a combo larger then 20, you really have to work for it, and you have to press all 4 face buttons. Everything has to be timed so well, and you have to play your next 2-3 moves in advance. I loved this game because it was so damn challenging in challenge mode.

Did you play Asylum, or City? I only played Asylum, and man I loved it. Yes the AI were a bit dumb, but the stealth scenes in the game were fun. Poping out of manholes to pick people up, knocking them out when no one is looking.

and all the gadjets, I dunno.

Question, did you like the Batman movies? Both new and old?
