I never played a batman game, so, now that they're all in sale, I was wondering: wich one should I buy for first? I have enough money for only one...

maybe the last one, i haven't played it. i own AC and it's so overrated, the combat system is one of the most failed and frustrating i've ever played, and it's better than AA so..

If you think the AC combat was bad, I'd be curious to hear what game had good combat in your eyes.

Arkham City was very good and the combat was amazing

Lol seriously?

No offense but you must suck hard at games if batman's combat system was frustrating for you since it's so easy to handle and very user friendly.

+1, AC had also the most interesting boss fights, like Mr. Freeze. On top of that, I've enjoyed the challenges, especially that Joker survival carnival, in AC the most out of the three games

Origins has a few good bossfights as well - the fights with Bane and Firefly in particular stand out in my book.

I did enjoy the Mr Freeze bossfight a whole lot!

+1 for this. Origins is cool too but there's nothing new in it and Joker isn't such a compelling character as in the other entries.

Arkham Origins. It is a begining of the arkham series plus its a newest, so it has everything from previous games and even more.

I didn't play Origins, but I will after winter sale or good promotions (I'm waiting for Origins complete edition, rumored to come out this august).
I've played Arkham Asylum and Arkham City... Both are great games, honestly City is better. If you don't mind buy all of them, then I will suggest Arkham City... Otherwise, buy and play Asylum, then wait for the next promotion (weekend deal or similar) to buy also City :D

Why would anyone miss the first game and start with the second ? I never understood that. I know AC was the best, but missing AA is so stupid. And Origins was EHHH, even if it's a prequel you should start with AA

Asylum is the most concise and well-rounded if you'd have to pick one. City for more randomly flying around kicking people in the chest.

I'd say all of them.

But it'll depend on why you want to buy a Batman game :

  • if you don't want to spend the money and want only one game, I'd go for City. Greatest "Arkham" game, IMHO.
  • if you want to follow the story, then Asylum is the real start. I mean, Origins is, well... origins (isn't that crazy ?), but I think you'll enjoy Origins more if you already followed the stories of the games before, even more now it's playable without all bugs it has at its release (still have some though...).
  • if you can and/or want them all : what are you waiting for ? Go ahead, you won't regret it ! ;)
