Is Batman Arkham Knight better?

[VEF215]

Having played both, I do love Spiderman, but I think Arkham Knight has a better overall experience. In Spiderman you constantly play as other characters and their sequences aren't as fun, side missions are a little weak, some of the writing in the story doesn't make sense as well as strange character reactions to events, Peter uses his Spiderman abilities wantonly in the open in front of tons of witnesses while he isn't dressed up. In Batman the city was so rich and using the batmobile was awesome, filling up the jail cells you felt like you were really making an impact over the night, everything oozed Batman gloom and style and you constantly got to kick ass as Batman.

I would say this Spiderman is really awesome, but Arkham Knight is the better superhero game overall. It was just so far ahead of its time. What you think

Both games are amazing imo but I do prefer Arkham Knight

Agree, Batman is better superhero game or even game overall. Spider-Man is still the best we got to date from him and really great game. I believe problem is Spider-Man altough GREAT AND FUN, is compared to Batman games really repetetive and have rather small upgrade system. Compared to Batman where each segment you progressed gave you new gadget, upgrade or location.

While in Spider-Man having only one repeating inside interior for roberies, few repeating crimes and only one big playground instead of having accesible whole buildings like in Batman is holding it back. Its fun being a Spider-Man i just wish for more upgrades and much more variant crime system. Thats all.

Oh and for webs and swinging have its our physics, i really miss Spider-Man 2 where you could do trick on your own and feel really good about it when you angled web just the right way.

Arkham Knight is one of my all time favorites still. the gritty dark atmosphere, the cast of characters and the gameplay paired with very good graphics and sound.

Spiderman is very good and for fans of the movies/books I'm sure it's a even better experience. I was never much of a Spidey guy.

I only played spiderman for 2 hours so far but i am very impressed with it. I love arkham knight but i don't miss those bat mobile missions in AK lol but still too soon for me to say what game is better.

I love Mad Max :) however, when it comes down to open world superhero-city games "Prototype" is still my favorite.

Prototype and Alex Mercer deserve a remake. Won't happen but can dream at least.

That was the absolute worst part of Arkham Knight. Plus, Arkham Knight lacked good bossfights compared to previous Arkham games (yes, even Origins).

This mediocre spider man doesnt even get close to Arkham series games. The fighting is fun and New York city is great but the rest is so poorly done that im amazed people prasing so much,

I love both games...but Spider-Man has something Batman will never be able to top............web swinging. One of my favorite things in the world is to just get stoned and swing around willy nilly and not really do ♥♥♥♥ lol
