Why.......why are you coming in here with this attitude of "You all suck, I'm the best, suck it nerds! Peace out, bitches!"?
It's a Batman game. I've never played this. I thought I had it in the 90s, but this isn't the game I had. The game I had sucked, but it looks nothing like the screenshot here. So maybe this game IS hard? I'm not sure. But why come in with this dismissive insulting tone before people even get a chance to play the game?
I'm so confused....
Okay, because you said I'm the best, I'll explain some more because you are right, there are some cases where your Mom gets you "Revenge of the Joker" or "Batman Forever" when you're a kid and maybe you don't immediately think back to Michael Keaton's excellent acting in things like Birdman and Batman Returns on Super Nintendo. Whatever, I'm not trying to judge your mom, how is she supposed to know in 199X which Batman games to get. But here's the thing, people used to complain all the time about how there weren't any Batman videogames where you actually feel like Batman until Arkham Asylum and I will tell you right now that is because they suck at videogames. You can actually do almost all of the stuff you see in the Tim Burton movie in this Konami videogame. For example, if you are good enough you can walk through the clown crowd and smash that one intimidating clown's head with concrete just like in the movie. Michael Keaton has the shortest reach of any person featured in the whole game, just like in the movie, even though about 65% of the game is about punching. Batman can blast through Gotham in the Batmobile and have to shoot boring, bullet-sponge enemies in a confusingly underbaked mandatory vehicle section which is both in the movie and a full 20 years earlier than Arkham Knight made that mistake. Most Lemmy videogamers though? They will never see that vehicle level because it is after Catwoman and the mid-game boss rush and they are poor videogame players, nobody is sure why. You could try and prove me wrong but I'm openly sure that you won't, because your prose is not that of a Fighting Game Tech-Understander Pro Gamer.
