Alright guys recommend me a Batman game from Asylum, City, Origins based on the one with the most detective work, recon, stealth game play. I've played Asylum some before my HD died, so I'm fair at battle. But in some cases I recruited my son to help. And with the either most intuitive and non-bullet sponge boss fights. :-) I hope I'm not asking too much. I've not played any of Origins or City.

From what I recall Origins was seen a bit of a letdown after City. I think City is still the most popular between the three. If you have the time/resources I would try to play all of them. |

Thats most likely the eventuality. We own them all, so it's not like I have to put money into them. Just curious how others felt about the different games. Somehow though we got each one on a different console. Don't remember if that was intentional or not but we got Asylum on 360, City on Wii U and Origins on PS3. I had the Grundy boss battle on my YouTube reccomendations for some reason and I watched it so that kind of sparked my interest to play one of the games. |

I thought City was great on the WiiU, one of the better uses of the gamepad |

I've just never got around to playing the other games and have to start from scratch with Asylum. |

City is easily the best of the Arkham games. Asylum has a great claustrophobic feel, like Metroid, but City has a nice, expansive world to explore and meaty side-quests. Plus Asylum's story loses it at the end while City has a great conclusion. Origins is like City, but with a sense of 'been there, done that,' and the world seems empty by comparison.
Though City really picks up the story after Asylum, so story-wise it's better to go with Asylum first if you never finished it, even though City is a better game overall.

City is probably my favorite, but I like Origins a lot too. I think it's an underrated game.

I like Origins as well, the fighting system is not as smooth as the main series, but the boss fights and the detective parts I like a lot. I also liked that some non-Joker villains get a chance to shine.

Thanks for all the input. I guess I will start with Asylum again. Before we lost our data, I had gotten some past fighting Croc, but even then, I had gotten distracted from the game, and by the time I tired it again, I couldn't remember anything about what I needed to do. So I was at the point of thinking to start over again anyway. Now I just don't have a choice.
This style of battle with Batman, Assassin's Creed, Shadow of Mordor, etc. is getting difficult for me. Dunno if it's just a lack of interest in trying to push buttons perfectly to defeat 50 enemies in a row, or just that on all three games stealth kills are easier on my reflects. I feel like age and/or interest is fading for higher difficulties. I feel like I'm gravitating towards games that are like interactive movies. Or games I've played before so I'm really just interacting because I know the game that well.
I tried some Tomb Raider on the PS3. My son borrowed it from a friend, so I played some yesterday. It's my first TR game guys. Yeah, I know. :-) I had fun with it. It's really immersing. Especially the start/prologue. I had to get use to the QTE, since I haven't played a game with that many since RE6. But man the graphics are great, and the interaction with characters and animals is cool. Except when I had to kill that deer. :-( I like exploration aspect of it. And that there really hasn't been a huge amount of battle/confrontation. So there's a nice mix of both. And stealth kills. So if he has to return it soon, I may get a copy of it to finish since it's fairly cheap.
He also got Uncharted 3 from the same friend, but I haven't tried that yet.

Not sure if this is the exact right place for this, but I figured I'd start here and see if it works.
Has anyone built a Raspberry Pi? I love the old-school games from Atari, Nintendo, and Sega, but as I was not able to score an NES Classic for Christmas, I've been investigating alternate options for getting access to the generation of games I like and came across the Raspberry Pi.
My biggest question, if anyone has done it, is the difficulty level, both in acquiring the components as well as the actual assembly. I'm fairly handy, so unless it requires expert-level skill, I should be OK, but I wanted to get feedback from anyone who has actually done it.

I've never used one but the school I worked at back in 2012 used them in their intro to tech classes so I'd imagine that if they were suitable for teaching basics than I'd imagine it would be straight forward enough for anyone else. |

Asylum is my favorite by a lot. City was good, but it felt too big. I didn't play the one with the batmobile enough to have an opinion, but I hated the batmobile. Agreed 100%. Asylum was my favorite by a wide margin. I thought the environments were the most unique and Batmany. I must admit, though, I haven't gone back and played much since I've played the newer ones, so I don't remember if there improvements in gameplay mechanics that I'm just not remembering that needed to be fixed in the original that were improved in the later entries. City was good but agreed, way too big and open. I like how Asylum was contained, and there was so much more ambiance. I haven't played Origins, though I remember it was made by a different studio between City and Knight and I remember the consensus seeming to be it was a let down. The Batmobile was a PAIN in the ass at first, but after playing Arkham Knight for some time and finally upgrading it I find it a lot more enjoyable. |

If I remember right, the mechanics were pretty much the same in Asylum as the rest of the games, just a bit less polished. I'm surprised not many other games have used stealth mechanics similar to Arkham. That's really the only game I can think of where guards become more and more scared as their friends disappear. I guess the stealth in Arkham is generally set in enclosed environments (and the player can't hide unconscious guards), so that approach might not work as well in a more sandbox-like stealth game. |
