Arkham City's fatal flaw


I finished the "really good, but at the same time not really as good" sequel to 2009's Arkham Asylum last week. Of all the small changes they made, one irked me the most...

The original game played like a Metroidvainia. It was a more condensed, but more detailed play area. The best part was that you could live the superhero fantasy of literally ridding the entire game of crime! When you beat a dude up, you never saw him again. In Arkham City, it's respawning enemies all over the place.




















This loading screen lies! You don't lie to Batman, you swear to him! The same 4 dudes are in front of the Iceberg Lounge every single time. When all you want to do is look for the hidden items around the map, having to deal with gun weildling thugs every other block becomes a pain in the ass.


Rant over.
