How does it differ from Asylum and City?  I'm considering purchasing it, but I was going to give it a month to see how the fan reviews started coming in.

Bat mobile gameplay is super expansive. The world is just bigger compared to city. Amazing story line. The seamless transition of combos and switching characters. The upgrading system is bigger and better if you ask me. It's worth the purchase

Welp, I've beat it and 100%'d everything except the Riddler trophies... the ending is pretty wild.

I'll eventually go after those trophies too some time down the line, because unlike most games with collectibles, these are actually somewhat fun to go after.  You also finally get to beat the Riddler's ass in this one after 3 fuging games if you get all of them this time.  That alone is worth it.

Loved the last two...is it even better?

 

When you say last two, I'm not sure if you're counting Origins or not (most people don't).  I personally didn't even play Origins, so I'm not qualified to speak on it - I heard poor things though.

Each one of the main titles has it's own strengths in my opinion... so it's hard for me to give Asylum, City, or Knight a fair ranking amongst each other for that reason.  They're all 3 superb games, and absolute masterpieces of the superhero video game genre.  Asylum has that tight Metroid-like atmosphere with more linear, yet focused feel to it.  City is more open-world and freedom, and probably has the best storyline of the 3 in it (IMO).  Knight pretty much takes everything from City, and improves on it with a true next gen feel, plus the batmobile... the damn batmobile, as detailed as it is, could be damn near be a game on it's own.  They put some time and effort into that thing.

I personally probably liked City better overall, but Knight is right there with it.  It's probably the first true "next generation" game I've played so far on the new consoles.  The seamless and super smooth gameplay mechanics and animations will probably leave you with a poo-eating grin for the first hour or so you play it.  That's also not even mentioning the fuging amazing graphics it has to go along with it.  The entire game looks like one long ass cut scene.  All those TV spots you saw with this game with the spruced up CGI looking graphics?  Yeah, those are the actual in-game graphics.

I went ahead and ordered it.  It came Sunday but I haven't had the time to crack it open.  Hopefully today if work doesn't pile like it did yesterday.

It's done very well so far that I've played. The Batmobile handles like a fat pig but you'll get better at it.

They also do some pretty trippy things with the camera and the story as it unfolds. Makes for a few "ah nice" moments so far.

I'm having trouble reading the tiny tool-tips on a 50" LCD only about 15' away from my eyes.  Are my eyes really getting that poor or is time for a new one?  Also, is here a way to increase the pixel size of the tool-tips?

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
