Should I skip this to go to City?

[VenomBlade]

Regrettably, I won't really have much time to play games in the near future, so I'm wondering if I should skip this and go straight to City as I hear it's the better game. Is this game worth the time?

[muckymucks]

Both games are great but if you're lackiing in time skip it; you'll be missing a few details about the story, though.

I would play this one if you can. B:AC pretty much picks up with where this one leaves off.

They both are great and top notch in gameplay. If you own Asylum (I assume you got the Humblebundle) you should play it at least some of the way through before going to City. City just takes everything in Asylum and improves it in every little way for the better. They both are great on their own and worth the time if you have it.

PS if you are thinking about buying off of steam search Humblebundle.com and be delighted.

I feel differently, I'd say don't skip the Asylum. You can acquire Arkham Origins and "skip" both Asylum and City, but imo skipping the Asylum in order to play City is gonna make it a bit harder for you to catch up with the story, gameplay and several other things. But, as I said, that is just my opinion, it will not ruin the City if you skip Asylum, feel free to do so.

As muckymucks said above, both are great games. I even liked some aspects of Asylum better than City (like story, atmosphere or secrets). It's defnitely NOT a lesser quality game compared to City, City just introduces a few nice things like huge open world and new gadgets, but all and all, quality-wise, they're about the same imo.

It isn't. AA has the better story, better narrative and makes much more sense. You feel much more like a silent predator in AA than you do in AC, which is just a massive brawler for the most part.

Of course if you are just in it for bashing peoples heads and not for playing Batman, then i am sure you'll enjoy AC more. You'll be beating up hundres uppon hundres of goons for no apparant reason, and for the most part you can't even really be Batman and Instill fear into them. You'll just beat them up.

And AA has an amazing story with a really amazing and sexy Harlequin. AC's story feels much more like "We got to show off some villains". In AA everything has a Place, in AC most stuff is just there for fanservice.

Don't get me wrong.. AC is a good game. AA is just the better game.

Yeah, don't skip this, it's worth every minute. I also prefer Asylum over City

[FOXDUDE69]

I think Asylum is the better game.

[bing chilling]

This game is so much fun! Play it!

[bing chilling]

Google humble bundle within the next few days; you can get both games + the FEAR series for under $5

Yes...DO NOT MISS HARLEY!

AA has a much better story than city

I went straight into Arkham City and that game is amazing. I played Asylum later on but city felt so much more polished and the voiceacting and graphics were very improved!

[Charade]

If you have to pick one, yes, skip and go to AC. Combat and stealth in AA is just too simple, when i replayed it these last days i kept trying to do things that the game doesn't let you do, AC improved a lot in that respect. AA was a good start but it's basically obsolete compared to the sequels.
