It's a quality game but gameplay-wise it hardly changes between the three.
true, u dont fix what's broken.
The point is the flow in the game's story. I believe a game is made up of more than just the gameplay. You have a great game like Brothers: A tale of two sons and you have Journey. The former did not get the push it deserved because of its Lower quality graphics and Weak Music Score
Note a game like AC2 v AC4. If you ask me, the gameplay for AC4 is definitely better and yet you shall find many who prefer the former.
Coming to journey. Throughout the journey, how much does the game change? Uncharted Series (my favorite series) does not consist of a great deal of change in its gameplay. A few actions more and some changes in aiming however overall game experience remains the same.
The thing is about the Experience that is felt in games like AC2, Batman Arkham, Batman City, Journey, Uncharted etc. This is greatly accomplished by the character development, storyline direction, music, environment/atmosphere and then finally the gameplay.
AC4 had a weak development since they pushed the pirate bit a tad bit long. Uncharted 3 was not received as well as U2 because of the characters not exhibiting themselves in the game and storyline even didn't feel that interesting.
Now finally note that I have not mentioned Arkham Origins BECAUSE it had the following problems
1. Slow Character Development - A very long wait for Batman to realize his potential
The characters didn't feel that massive like Joker and Batman did in City and Asylum. Does everyone Cat woman for her slutty-figure or rather for the slutty-nature with a cross of good v bad in herself?
2. Misdirected Storyline - The story jumps between to major enemies however they seem like they could fit in a movie but not in a game. Towards the end, they worked on this and every character had an excellent role to play hence it turned about great for committed players. I was totally bored in the beginning thinking I should just wait this game out.
3. Atmosphere of City was just too memorable and so was the confined area that you worked with in Asylum. Note that Origins did have great places like the Arena, Station & Prison however I can't picture myself remembering something beyond that.
Anyway long post is long and this has been discussed by personalities much more experienced than me.
Just my 2 dollars.
