Current Events > I don't know if the stealth in the Batman Arkham games hold up

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been playing heaps of Batman lately and I've been trying to do the Riddler Challenges in Arkham City and there's something so stiff and unresponsive about the stealth despite the controls feeling weighty and great. It's just frustrating trying to just jump to a specific spot but Batman just leaps into the worst spot and gets spotted by enemies, or the fact that sometimes he just sticks to ledges to glue and it feels clunk trying to traverse sometimes. And some of those predator challenges are just fucked. Like trying to ledge grab 2 people when the AI feels leashed to not ever be in the same spot.

And seriously Catwoman is dog shit. Worse character I've played and she's just shit and useless.

Still love the game though and I wish they released Arkham Origins on PS4 since I no longer have a PS3.

It really doesn't. Not enough variety and there's certain tools and strategies that are just objectively better used 99% of the time. Kinda like the AssCreed games up to 4.

Why? Origins was just a glorified expansion pack.

Imo the best 'modern' stealth game is Mark of the Ninja

The only difficulty in it is trying to get a good time and some of the AK challenges with other characters.
Most of the challenges are just waiting around for the AI to get into the proper spot.

I've seen challenge runs where they would get it under 10 seconds. I think I have a top 20 record in one of the arkham city stages. It's just knowing the layout and where the enemies are and doing all the challenges quickly.
