I watched a friend of mine play the latest Batman game on Xbox One, and I wasn't impressed with it. He would get into fights with large groups of enemies, but only ONE enemy would attack him at a time, while the rest stood around and watched. The game looked piss easy and that's just boring.

That's not a slant against the earlier 360 era Batman games though. I have yet to play those but I plan to.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Early on, they tend to do that. Later, they'll engage you more often while you're beating down another mook. It's all about the countering and combat flow. Especially when you get the move that lets you zip from enemy to enemy, letting you take down entire groups without breaking your combo chain. (They actually had to do a little bit of this with Ninja Gaiden back in the day, too. I remember them saying that enemies could break into your combos a bit too easily before they tweaked it.)

That being said, I heard they scaled up the number of enemies that come at you even more in this one, and it was already a bit much in some of the earlier games. So it could be pretty terrible overall.

I want Arkham Knight when I have something capable of running it, but it's not a system-seller after everything I've heard.

"Next Gen" Batman games peaked with Asylum.

So a friend of mine wants to trade cadash for the tg16 for mega man for the nes? Any thoughts? Both rare gems but I do own the mega man collection on ps2. The thing is mega man on nes is so good to play in actual hardware. Plus I did get 2 and 3 from a trade also.

Personally I think Mega Man is the better game.

Thanks. As much as I'm trying to collect tg16, I know I won't play cadash. Now I know I'll play megaman and now I'm going to try to beat it

I like Cadash better. No shocker there. :lol:

Sounds like you made up your mind tho, mas, which is cool. Mega Man also rules. I always kinda wanted it on NES. I can play it on Xbox via the collection but the controls never quite feel right.

The Engrish is quite epic in Cadash. Good times on Taito Legends 2 (PC only).

It's already a done deal. I would never play cadash so instead of having it collect space and dust I traded for a game I know I'll play.
