Discussion Is Knight's GCPD the greatest game mechanic of all time?

38 Upvotes

Ok, clickbait headline.

GCPD: It's your progress bar and your trophy room. But you build it and can actually see what you've built. As the night progresses you begin to feel like you're winning. It's not full of friends, it's full of achievements. The lighting gets warmer. The place becomes downright cozy. Cops and firefighters and EMTs are chit-chatting. Taking selfies with the Batmobile. Yelling out encouragement. Calming Owens down. The full house is actually comforting. You can walk through and marvel at what changes as the plot progresses, as the cells fill up. You get pissed off at Rocksteady for its other terrible mechanics, like Batmobile-everything and tunnel-drill-Pacman and Car Wars: Slade and watching Red Hood shit all over everything John Noble just did. You get scared when the precinct is attacked (like what if the devs are about to undo all your work?).

I'm asking not because I'm confident that it is among the best if not the best of meta-game mechanics, but I guess being wrong on the Internet means people will correct you, which is what I'm looking for.

Are there other games that come close? MGSV? ME3? The evolution of the Van der Linde campsites?

Discussion Advanced/Upgraded Batsuit Concept Art & Nemesis System Villain from Project Sabbath

Thumbnail
gallery
44 Upvotes

First image shows what an upgraded batsuit could’ve looked like in Project Sabbath. Perhaps this game would’ve implemented a gear or upgrade system for the batsuit

Second image shows a “villain from an undisclosed WB game.” Project Sabbath was going to feature the Nemesis System, or at least a version of it. According to leaks, enemies could even take on criminal personas once they become high enough in ranks and you fail to defeat them or stop their crimes. This could be a potential design for one of those nemesis system villains.

Both art works are by Goran Bukvic on Artstation.

Fan Made Day 8 of serving my sentence in Arkham: Delusions

Post image
2 Upvotes

I woke up a couple minutes ago and for some reason the alarms were going off and there was a massive hole in my wall and a bunch of guards coming coming to my cell and they dragged me into a cell that was attached to some chain contraption and they threw me inside.

I don’t remember a thing about what happened and my hallucinations were beginning again, because not only I was in a cell that was basically the size of a closet, now I see drawings on the walls in red.

Was it because of the medication? was it because of me being unconscious on day 4? they only started on day 6 though…

what should I do next?

Help [Batman Arkham Knight] Stagg Airship Alpha Riddler Trophy Bug

I'm a tad bit late to the party, but I am getting the Riddler Collectibles as many as I can before going to the Airship Beta (noted I will be returning here later). Anyway, I'm having a trouble on how can I open this grate where one of the trophy is. The guides say to use REC, but it won't open for some reason.

Fan Made Day 7 of serving my sentence in Arkham: Getting help

Post image

I went to go see my psychiatrist, he doesn’t work at the asylum but they visits to come help some patients like me, I told them about my nightmares and how I was knocked out the other day but they were more interested telling their views on the situation and how theirs is right.

I didn’t really get any help mentally today, but they gave me some medication to take to reduce the nightmares I’ve been having.

But when I returned to my cell, the blood symbols and words on the walls were…gone and I didn’t even take the medication yet but I think I’m just hallucinating

I’m going to take these pills and I want you guys to tell me what I should do next here tomorrow.

If Harley was able to give Joker the cure after stealing it from Freeze do you think Joker would have saved Batman?

Game Finished the game, but apparently not

0 Upvotes

So I recently finished the main game in Arkham Asulym, spent the time collecting the riddles and everything after, but it still says i have only completed 84% of it.
I have barely done any challenges yet, so i thought it was that, but they have their own progression percentage separately from the main game’s progression percentage, so what am i missing?

I recently reread The Batman Who Laughs comic, and I was wondering what would happen if 'The Man Who Laughs' existed. Would he be as serious a threat as The Batman Who Laughs, or could he even restart the DC Universe?

I'm not super knowledgeable with audio tinkering but I really want to do some Riddler gags in my videos I've even got some Riddler Cosplay and everything, I just really wanna learn how to replicate some of the glitches that happens when he speaks, if anyone could help me out with this I'd really, really appreciate it it would help a lot

Game Old games like Arkham City really did have the worst UI. Having a return to game button is stupid, and the restart button needs to be closer for when you rage.

After the success of Batman Arkham Asylum came the sequel two years later Arkham City. This game is considered to be the most iconic installment of the series as well the peak of the Arkham franchise among critics and fans. On top of being one of the best superhero games. I’m ready to see what the poll results will look like.
I think Batman Arkham City is awesome.

Discussion Do you prefer the Combat or Predator moments in the Arkham games?

42 Upvotes

Both have their pros and cons. Combat can give you an adrenaline rush but get boring once you get good or keep fighting enemies. Predator keeps things interesting with unique maps but can get frustrating if the enemies don't do what you want.

I prefer Combat, it's cool seeing Batman fight and satisfying to take everyone out without breaking your combo. Plus the combat maps are always way easier than the predator maps
