Batman AA feel like playing Adult Zelda game?

When I was about 50% through Batman, after receiving several new bat gadgets it occured to me that I can go back to previous area's to find new thing. This felt very Zelda. Not only that but you had the open area of the prison that felt like Hyrule field. And each building was like a town for Zelda.

Not really.

Kind of I guess. I see where your coming from.

I thought Darksiders was the "adult" zelda.

Wrong Game dude, you're thinking Metroid.

Zelda? No, I never felt that, but then again, I've been playing games for so many years my experience could be different than yours.

I felt it had elements of Metal Gear Solid, to be honest. It was great fun, since Snake doesn't have grappling hooks and such.Instead of C4, you have that Bat Gel that explodes, instead of tranqualizers, you have batarangs, you can fight or knock them out from behind, etc.

It also had elements of Metroid with exploration.

It was like a cross between

Zelda does not own the common game mechanics of the action-adventure genre.

Why can't Zelda be adult?

Is it just me or this doesnt happen in games that much anymore? Except for open world games. In most games now, you have one path and you never come back to previous places. I think this didnt happened that much before. I remember games like RE, where you had to find a key or something that opened a door or something else, in a previous place you have been. It was kinda fun, i guess.Drakes_Fortune

Yeah, MGS was one of the games that fit the description i mentioned above. But in MGS4 it was pretty much straight forward too and never look back.

Honestly I thought The Legend of Zelda was already Adult enough. Apparently it has to be on a PS3 or a 360 and have "teh HDz GRAFFIX!" to be "Adult"

No, it's not adult because it has no blood.:P

Play Darksiders. Amazing game and ending. That is the adult zelda. You will be playing through it and immediately get a Zelda vibe on the first dungeon.

No Bloodz!? OMG! It's NOT ADULT!......wait.

That's because Darksiders is Zelda with God of War's combat.:P

I still think that Batman Arkham Asylum has more of the Metroid feel than Zelda. (and more of the Metal Gear Solid so it's like a Metroid Gear Solid game...uh...yeah)

Still an amazing game. :) The ending of it is quite possibly the best ending I saw last year with the exception of maybe the good ending of inFamous. And I saw alot of endings last year. ;)

LOL at ESRB ratings. Just because something red shows when you hit enemies doesn't make it blood.

I did. I usually post the same thing after saying something I know is stupid in response to someone else saying it. That's what I see it as.

No, it felt very Metroid. But even so it's nothing like Metroid or Zelda aside from that.

It was zelda-esq. Every new building you went through was like a dungeon, and sometime while in that building you recieve a new gadget or you'll upgrade something. Its a good format to use, thats why zelda games are so popular. It had enough new stuff, and other elements in the game to make it vey different from zelda though, i didnt even think of it like zelda until the TC brought it up. Darksiders is more of an adult zelda, its much more noticeable then batman.

Wrong Game dude, you're thinking Metroid.

LegatoSkyheart

But Zelda actually had decent boss fights :?SpinoRaptor24

I've posted it once and I'll post it again....

So many things wrong with this thread...

a) Legend of Zelda is a mature title. It's not aimed at kids. It may be slightly accessible to kids when it gets easier, but Arkham Asylum isn't that hard either and last I checked kiddies LOVE Batman.... AA is no more of a game for adults than Legend of Zelda, except MAYBE Wind Waker or the DS games, but that doesn't make them any worse.

b) The basic mechanics are so different no slight similarities can make the games even remotely similar. Last I checked LoZ has extremely limited stealth, and when you use it is's usually sneaking around a place, not combat. I also don't find many puzzles in B:AA, the biggest focus of LoZ>

c) Boss fights are nowhere even similar (i.e. in LoZ they're actually exceptional while in Arkham Asylum they are "MEH!" Ignoring quality, they aren't even similar in function.

d) Atmosphere and setting are so completely different it's not even plausible to compare them.

e) .... God am I still explaining this? The dichotomy between the two couldn't be bigger, they have so little in common and anything that they do have in common is either an extremely common gameplay mechanic that could make any game seem like Zelda, or something that is entirely your perception.

To set things straight, Legend of Zelda is my favorite series ever and OoT and WW are my favorite games. Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of the best games I've played this year, absolutely love it. I don't feel like comparing the quality of each, both very good, but saying they're similar is just stupid and really just obvious grounds for yet another person to say Zelda is kiddy and now there is a mature version.
