The major thing that separates the first two from the second two is the Riddler content, which is basically my favourite side content in any game ever. It was such high quality and utilized the environment so creatively and in so many varied ways. That quality is totally not there in Knight and was ESPECIALLY not there in Origins. Whoever was responsible for the riddler stuff in Asylum and City must have departed, Knight's riddles and trophies are a total hack job by comparison, except for the main Catwoman missions. I agree that they had an enjoyable Zelda quality to them. I really like the one where you latch onto the roof and lower yourself down the big circular pit thingy. I also didn't mind the race ones, I thought they were kinda fun and nowhere near as hard as people claimed (git gud, ya fucking casuals). I will say Knight also has too much filler routine side content (the mines, ramming the vehicles off the road, getting map info from the glowing green informants etc.), since it's the biggest one of the trilogy. It made it feel a bit more like a generic open world game. I certainly liked it overall though, and it was a respectable finish to everything. I'd probably miss the various minor improvements to things if I went back to an older game, at least at first. I'd probably adjust OK, the games were never clunky. Also gotta say it's one of the best looking games I've played, a beautiful balance of technical graphics and awesome art style combined.

I did all the Riddler stuff in Asylum. I didn't complete it in City but liked it all the same. With Knight I took one look and knew I'd never have the patience. I did complete the main Riddler missions though. They were neat. Some of those Batmobile trials annoyed the shit out of me though, especially when a difficult turn or hard-to-navigate green/red bullshit thing was right at the end of the last lap. Riddler's repetitive condescending dialogue was pissing me off when I couldn't get it done.

I feel it had too much filler, but it still did filler better than something like Assassin's Creed, where I don't even attempt to complete it. I actually completed those missions assuming the Knightfall Protocol was the real ending. Nup, do 800 Riddler things idiot, and also find that guy's impossible-to-find firey slogans. No thanks.

Oh, I liked the pig man mission.

Super Mario Sunshine fills its hubworld with water at one point. It's pretty cool.

Yeah I think playing with keyboard and mouse was probably advantageous with the batmobile. I think it may allow you to take sharp turns more quickly hence why I ran into less problems. I think I failed the final lap of the last race trial once and that was it. I also liked the pig man missions. I didn't have a problem with that guy's fire symbols, Alfred would randomly call me telling me he heard a police report about one, then I'd just select that mission from the mission scroll wheel thing and it'd give me a waypoint. And yeah, it was just too much in knight (and far, far too shitty in Origins). I just ended up watching the full ending on youtube.

That's weird. I never heard from Alfred about that and assumed you had to find them. Maybe it's a PS4 bug.

Not really a game deal but the 2016 GOTY--Overwatch--will be doing a free weekend.

Already have time set aside to play :) Hoping it'll bring a swathe of new players so I don't feel too out of my depth

Following on from the Overwatch free to play weekend it looks like they dropped the price on the Blizz store too!

So, if you played and liked it - or were just waiting for a saving - now is the time to buy! I think the free weekend ends tomorrow at 6 for Aus anyway so there's still time! Vive la time differences!

I had a pretty good time during the free play and decided to drop the $$$. If anyone else uses Battle.net, my battletag is mjcowley#1817.

Gog are having their Black Friday sale. Some really good bargains although, sadly, Tyranny isn't one that's dropped in price (not really surprising considering it's still new :) )

If anyone happens to notice Crusader Kings 2 DLC on sale over the next few days let me know. I need to get it up to date.

During the Halloween sales I sperged over strategy games and brought Civ 6, Civ Beyond Earth, Stellaris and Hearts of Iron 4. Then I ended up playing Europa Universalis 4 more than all of those combined. It's just a perfect strategy game. Civ 6 is disappointing, Stellaris is fun, have barely touched the other two yet.

Just like add it to your Steam Wishlist and you'll get an Email when it's on sale. But why did you buy Beyond Earth? D:

Should have went with Endless Legend + all its xpacs/dlc instead, can usually get it cheap and it's totally worth playing for its different ruleset and focus over Civ and it has abit more of a Sci-Fi-fantasy narrative focus similar to BE (EL does it supposedly better). There's less mechanics to work with than Civ, more micromanagement but I think I actually preferred playing it over Civ V on its ruleset alone.
