db_teamextreme Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm about to start this game and wondering how difficult the game is compared with some others games hardest levels e.g Veteren in Call Of Duty. Anyone any thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almsivi Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I didn't find it that difficult compared to the normal setting, beat it on hard in about 3 - 4 hours. The only big fuzz about the hard difficulty setting is that the blue lightning above enemies heads, the parry/block prompt, is now gone. But you do get used to working without it by looking at the thugs movement instead. Compared to Call of Duty games on veteran, Batman: Arkham Asylum was conquered easier So if you did fairly well on the normal difficulty, rarely died and-what-not, you won't be having too much trouble beating it on hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essecks Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you know the game and how to play it, it's not overly hard at all. If you're diving into it without knowing anything about it or how the combat system works, it's a bit frustrating at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDisabledRabbit Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The hard setting isn't actually that hard at all. I completed this game a while ago, and really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovement81 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hard mode really isn't much different on Arkham Asylum. Like Almsivi mentioned, there is no prompt for countering enemies attacks. This is the biggest difference, as most everything else is the same. Enemies take more hits and deal more damage. This makes boss fights tougher as well, so I would recommend spending a bit of time in the challenge maps to brush up on your combat skills. Doing so certainly helped out when I played on hard. Try to ignore the counter prompt thing in the challenges though and pay attention to enemies movements, as it will help prepare you for combat in hard mode.

db_teamextreme Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Thanks for all the advice guys. I decided to do a play thorough on Normal first and I completed it last night. I didn't find it too difficult, though some of the boss battles were tricky. Thanks for the tip about practicing in the combat challenges. Think I definatly need to do this before attempting hard!

KyKy Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I done Hard Mode after I completed all the challenges and then I found it easier than when I completed it on normal. It really does depend on how much you've played/learned Batmans combos/gadgets in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozza Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Most of it is a breeze if you've already done one playthrough. Just learn to counter without the pop-ups and you'll be good to go! Will take a few tries to get used to but nothing too hard. Only bit I struggled on was the Ivy fight! I hadn't played the game in a while and the vines do a lot of damage! Again, I gave up for a bit, came back to it and got it in one go! The rest was a walk in the park and without concentrating on the collectables you should complete it fast!

TheRock420RVD Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) took over 100x to get past Bane LMAO who else is gonna be "a bitch" on hard?? I remember Ivy was really difficult on EASY lol Edited March 29, 2011 by TheRock420RVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG1983 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 who else is gonna be "a bitch" on hard?? I remember Ivy was really difficult on EASY lol Ivy isn't that difficult if you dive side to side across the screen. Watch for where the vines will come up and make sure you have a space free to dive to. Quick batarang her in between leaps where possible and you wont have a problem. The last joker fight was easy as well, you can use the joker teeth bombs (that chase you) to knock down the mobs by getting the teeth near to a group and setting it off. It will knock them down and give you the opportunity to focus on a few. Also, the enemies seemed to drop on the right side of the 'arena' first so move there to start with. The fight before the last joker fight was trickier as you have a fairly long narrow'ish room to fight 2 of the big dudes and lots of normal henchman. However if you just leap / run about and make sure to stun the big guys with the 3x batarang when they charge you should be able to just focus on getting onto the back of one of them and using it to damage all the others.

ARCANEVALORE Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Is it bad the only part I had trouble in was Scarecrows world ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoogles Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Is it bad the only part I had trouble in was Scarecrows world ? Not really. Poison Ivy was the hardest part for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyKy Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I also thought Ivy was the hardest part on hard mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wats0n Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm stuck fighting the Titan that breaks out of the elevator and you have to fight him and 5 waves of thugs at the same time. I manage to get the Titan down but then a random hit or 2 takes me out on that last wave that still comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatup14 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hard is really not that hard... once you manage to beat it on normal and complete a couple of the combat challenge, you'll breeze through it. The only part that was rough, was the second scarecrow part... Wanted to do it to fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manage to get the Titan down but then a random hit or 2 takes me out on that last wave that still comes. Wear the Titan out and use him to beat the thugs. Abuse of the evade move and watch the thugs for counters. With a bit of practice you should have it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how ya dern Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 i thought is was the hardest hard ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krizalid1985 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 hard mode in this game is very easy compare with other games,like bionic commando,devil may cry ,ninja gaiden or others,enemies simply does a little more damage,and there 's no special effect when enemies attack you so its more difficult to do parry,but it's not so hard to do it aniway if you know the game well.

DucknahEireann Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Should i try this on Normal first before trying on Hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulex Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I wouldn't bother, playing on hard first gets you more prepared to get the 3-bats on all the combat challenges as well. Hard really isn't that bad in this game at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a blind beggar Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It was the easiest hard mode i've ever played definitely. I did it on my second playthrough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwood GB 24 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks Guy's, post's helpped me push on and play it on hard first. Here comes the Achievement!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam3k3 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Just beat the game on hard as my 2nd run. Once you learn the fighting system, the game becomes a peace of cake. Combo challenges are bit harder but as I said, learn the fighting system and all will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gor1lla Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 When i started this game on hard i nearly quit on the first fight, because the goons were so annoying, after finally killing them the rest of the game was easy, except one part of a particular boss fight Had to do it 3-4 times. short version: Get used to the combat system and fly through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
