My vote is obvious. One of the greatest games ever made.
No need to rehash the discussion that already went down in the main thread. It was kind of a ****fest.

"The game received critical acclaim, particularly for its narrative, character and world designs, soundtrack, and Batman's combat and navigation abilities. It was tied for the highest-rated video game of 2011 according to review aggregator Metacritic, and was the recipient of several awards including: Game of the Year, Best Action Game, Best Action Adventure Game, Best Adventure Game, and Best Original Score from various media outlets, and it is considered one of the greatest video games of all time."

Does every big tentpole movie that comes out receive a round of butt kissing from film critics? No, because they have standards. In the world of video game criticism, a big budget means almost guaranteed rave reviews. Of course not entirely, but there are very few video game critics whose opinion carries any weight to me at all. They might as well be a herd of chimps. Harsh. I gave it a 2.

There's nothing quite like gliding over Gotham City or perching high atop a gargoyle with Detective Vision surveying a squad of thugs. 5/5

Btw, before Yorke accuses me of being a "hater": I don't disrespect anyone for liking any game or whatever. In my view, tastes are entirely subjective and there's no way in which my subjective experience of a game should be expected to be mirrored by someone who isn't me, and vice verse.
I just don't like these games at all. I'm not having fun with them. I even strongly dislike the atmosphere of the Arkham games, and indeed most AAA games. They feel soulless to me and I just don't have a good time. It's really no impulse to be an elitist snob or anything. I'm just literally not connecting with these games and I'm not having a good time with them at all. Some games just connect with me where others fail. I'm happy as a clam playing Armored Core 5, while Assassins Creed is about as fun as a root canal for me. It's just the way it is. Psychology, biology; whatever. |

Plus, not ALL AAA games are like that, but I will admit that a lot of them are pretty crappy. Lots of exceptions tho. I also do somewhat agree on what you say about critical consensus but if a lot of people like a game and I don't, I do try the game again or I will to play it later. Hell, I didn't play Witcher 3 until several years after its release. |
