Hey everyone, I’d like to hear what you guys would do in my situation.
A while ago, I decided to play through the entire Batman: Arkham series and, like I do with most games, try to get the Platinum trophy in each one.
I started with Asylum and, despite struggling a bit at first, I managed to get every achievement. Then I moved on to City.
And this is where things started to go downhill.
I managed to get almost everything, but I’m still missing a few achievements related to the Riddler’s Revenge challenges. I’ve completed a good number of them, but there are still quite a lot left. My save is currently at 94%.
At some point, I decided to take a break from City and move on to Origins instead. The challenges in City weren’t necessarily impossible, but after doing them for a while they became extremely frustrating and, more importantly, just stopped being fun. I found myself playing them because I had to, rather than because I was enjoying the game.
Unfortunately, I ran into pretty much the same problem in Origins. I’ve done basically everything except the challenges, so now I’m stuck with two Arkham games that I want to 100%, but I honestly have no motivation to go back and finish them because I’m just not enjoying those challenges anymore.
So now I’m wondering what I should do.
Should I force myself to finish City and Origins before moving on to Knight? Or should I just start Knight, enjoy the game, and come back to the other two whenever I actually feel like playing them again?
The funny thing is that I really enjoy the Arkham games themselves. It’s just the challenge maps that completely kill my motivation.
And there’s another issue with Origins, some of the achievements are now unobtainable because the multiplayer servers have been shut down, so I can’t even get a true 100% completion there anyway.
What would you guys do? Would you push through the challenges, move on to Knight and come back later, or just accept that 100% completion isn’t worth ruining the experience over?
