City. It's become cult popular to say the first game, but City is objectively better.
Asylum doing a few things better =//= a better game overall. And it's bosses were terrible.
Not to say Asylum is a bad game, because it's actually great. But people feel more attachment to it because it was the first great Batman game in a long time.

Of course, somebody has a differing opinion to you therefor they must be saying it because they're following some popular trend and not expressing on honest opinion how much they enjoyed (Or didn't enjoy) the game...Well that's a little condicending.

It's true that a lot of people who say the first game are following popular trend, and true that a lot of people are attached to it because it's the first in the series/nostalgic.
Just because a case can exist where my generalization is untrue does not make my statement incorrect. I'm claiming this is the majority, regardless of the minority scenarios.

People only say city because of the hype and the irrational assumption that anything with an open world is better even if it doesnt add anything to the expiriance.
See how easy that is?
Your genelisation is nothing but the baseless opinion of an armchair expert. You have no reason to assume that most people who prefer Arkham asylum are doing it for any reason other than honest prefrence.
Claims of peoples judgment being biased through nostalgia are common when disgusing games, but I have to say with only a 2 year gap between these games this could be one of the most exteme uses of that argument I've heard.

"Experience"
"Preference"
"Generaliz(s)ation"

That's absolutely fine with me. You're free to make any baseless or even well-grounded claims, but my opinion is anything but baseless. Ancedotal evidence is still a form of evidence, and both this thread, it's replies, and numerous other experiences that I've witnessed surrounding fans of Arkham Asylum have led me to my belief, and it is well grounded based off actual statements. It might simply be my perspective, but the thing is Arkham City is by far the more popular game. The main ones that stand behind Arkham Asylum are the ones that frequently talk on message boards- It's easier to use ancedotal evidence in a more niche appeal/preference in comparison to City.
I'm not claiming to have used a research-heavy study to come to my conclusions, but I wouldn't say I can't make an easy guess either. Regardless, I'm free to have a stance on what I believe to be the majority, and free to see it the way I want. As are you.
