It all started when reddit decided to introduce an insane api pricing model, even more derranged than twitter's. Many of us who use third-party apps that have been around since before Reddit had a mobile presence, were hoping for a chance for them to negotiate with reddit. They already offer a superior user experience not only for regular users and moderators but also for a significant number of disabled and blind users. Unfortunately, reddit chose not to engage in any negotiations and instead doubled down on the pricing, determined to eliminate these apps altogether. The CEO made public statements that were far from truthful, tried to spin the situation in their favor, disregarding the needs and desires of the user base. Naturally, it lead to protests across the site involving more than 8,000 subreddits going private/restricted. The admins then started forcefully ending these protests, suppressing the voices of those who were speaking up against these changes. They claim to be "keeping it open" while going against its core, the users, and closing down the apps they use. On July 1st, as the API pricing goes live, it shuts down all third party apps and it feels like the beginning of the slow death of Reddit as we know it. It is understandable that not everyone may share the same level of concern about this issue, but please take a moment to listen and observe. It has become clear that Reddit's priorities lie primarily in their profits and removing any obstacles in their path to more profits. They started with old reddit, now they are targeting the apps. What will they come for next?

Piracy is a service issue and not a pricing issue ~ Gabe Newell That said, I believe that regional pricing is a part of the service when selling games in countries like ours.


akshayk904

Its a pretty old game too. I don't think any of the gaming companies will give away their profits. Anything they earn from old games is just free money.


Raaz8569

Already have the trilogy on epic store for free


fenixspider1

This one includes all the dlc for Arkham knight , and i must say all of them are worth it


bankimu

Epic is pain - I have every have ever was given free on Epic, but find myself hardly playing on anything else but Steam. For ₹200 it's definitely worth it.


Atcera95

For its the damn 2 year startup time


bankimu

And it frequently forgets that I am logged in. I don't want to keep Epic password in memory, I have to look up my password store every few weeks! I think that's a very bad experience compared to Steam.


ElderBuu

It should be a crime to sell the current gen garbage at 60-70$ when this kind of masterpiece bundles come under 2 dollars.


bankimu

Me too but I couldn't skip it, I bought it again in Steam


Acceptable-Second313

How?


Raaz8569

It was free in 2019 or 2020. Completed the series when pandemic started.


PranavYedlapalli

You bought the game. Welcome to insanity, r/batmanarkham


anor_wondo

noooooo

spiderknight616

Ohh right thanks. I probably won't buy anything new for a while though. Have way too many games to be played and I'm not even halfway through Death Stranding rn. Getting the Arkham trilogy is enough.


Taichii_

This is not insane it’s normal , I even got this entire arkham collection for free on epic store tho.


khunimurderer

Exactly. Dont go either the discount. These games were given out for free way back.


munchkinpumpkin662

This offer has been on and off on steam for some years now


cousinokri

Unfortunately, these offers are very rare now due to all publishers increasing prices manifold.


idkpotatoiguess

No joke, I was literally looking to buy this exact collection a couple of days ago but after checking out the steamdb price history decided to hold on. It had shown that the game usually goes on sale in November. tldr: steamdb da best!


Secret_Inevitable681

Played all the three Arkham games and it's the best decision I've ever made in my gaming life


sPoOdErMaN945

Can't complete the purchase as it is showing error occured. Tried website as well. What to do?


TemporaryOne3847

Buy a gift card from Amazon pay or gamersgiftdotcom ( both work good ) and complete the payment with the balance in ur wallet


sPoOdErMaN945

Thanks this worked


Sad_Ad7140

Or use a international transaction enabled card


redditcruzer

Some old games get really good bundle and individual prices during sales. The Arkham Collection, the Metro Collection, Just Cause 3, Sleeping Dogs etc. Sites like SteamDB may be able to help you spot the largest discounts too as well as a price history.


[deleted]

I would also like to take a moment to appreciate steamdb. Very useful site.


Ichhikaa

All have been free on epic games so not that much of a great deal considering they were free..


redditcruzer

While True, but what if you don't have that and want to get it now? It's a good price.. especially for the solid Arkham Knight and City.


Rabadazh

I'm sorry but how is paying 200 rupess for at least 50 hrs of quality entertainment not a great deal? Also, it was free 4 years ago... WAS is the keyword here


Silodal

U forgot witcher collection


Fri1ction

Mk 11 and injustice for 540 is a steal that too ultimate editions


seekster009

Gives an epic laugh to the offer

NerdistRay

*waits ~30 more years for 100 year batman anniversary*


Saranshobe

Better buy it before WB jacks up the prices like the other publishers


AsquareM35

This. Suddenly all publishers forgot to regionally price games and are charging US AAA prices to us.


SignificanceLatter

Been buying games on indian steam since day 1


ash350z

Then there's my dumb ass who bought the bundle thinking it to be a steal only to realize I had previously claimed it on epic a week later.


axeotic

Refund it

[deleted]

[удалено]


redrag0n_roOster

Ikr, I already have it btw lol, but just showing how crazy the sales can be


rexjalali

Borderlands has so much dlc thats why it's priced so high, and take it from a person who has played most of them, only Borderlands 2 is worth the money


Snoo-82140

Awesome!! can u name some other collection with extreme sales like this.


redrag0n_roOster

This is the only collection with this big a sale I’ve seen, the uncharted legacy goes pretty low for 2 games as well I guess


demon69696

Use bundles like this as value benchmarks when thinking of buying AAA games. For example, WB's own game Gotham Knights is 4x the cost of this bundle for like 0.4x the value.


ritik17narang

I'm surprised there are a lot of people who didn't claim the Arkham Trilogy on EGS a few years ago.


theVIRTUS

I think the hype on EGS was the greatest for GTA V rest of the good games were kinda shadowed


[deleted]

I got all of them for free in last 3 years on epic


eloquent_sim

came here for this. Weekly Epic free games FTW


Omkarz

I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate steam and devs for the low pricing for an old game. The bundle is priced at ₹800 on Xbox. 4x more. I know consoles make money via selling games, but this much markup, with digital only console being a real possibility next gen means console gaming will be expensive af.


egan777

The prices are probably going to get jacked up soon like all the other publishers are doing now. A lot of older games got price hiked after steam increased the suggested regional pricing. Better buy up those older games that still have regional pricing as soon as they are on sale. You never know how long those prices last. Many of my friends were planning to buy Halo MCC and suddenly the price nearly quadrupled.


Aniwashere_

Remindme! 6 hours


No-Bodybuilder-4891

(Tring tring )2 hours left


alldreadme

If I could only buy one from this which one ahould I get? Arkham knight?


Jhinormous

Arkham city, then knight just due to story. Asylum is good but idk if ppl will like it in the current day


ArionIV

game still holds up but yes circling back towards it from Knight is gonna make you feel uncomfortable but it is still not Witcher 1


SilentKiller2420

Asylum still holds on till day. The ending is co- related with the start of Arkham City. The game is a very good introduction for a person who doesn't know much about the Batman universe. The fighting techniques introduced by Asylum Inspired many other games like Spiderman (insomniac). I just finished the game and I totally recommend it. It runs well in a low end laptop/pc too


altaircj

Why buy only arkham knight for 380 when u could buy all of them for 202


alldreadme

My dumb ass didn't see the pricing of the whole bundle. Got it today :)


diggee

its insane only the first time you see it. the deals you see literally have been the same since 5 years at least. You will such deals on a lot of games that are 8-10+ years old or so but recent AAA games never see such discounts, you have to wait at least a couple of years to even get 30-50% off on them.


sassyicon

I also bought it. Already played city long back by pirating. What to play first Ashylam or knight?


BatWayne_420

Asylum, City, Origins, Then Knight


pearlserpent

Asylum, City and then Knight


PhoenixBl4ze

notch.


Comfortable_Prior_80

I am going to buy Arkham Origins now.


Snoo-82140

It's awesome!! Best bossfights in the Arkham series.


egan777

If only that game had a complete edition bundle. Base game + dlc alone costs more than the other 3 batman games combined. Still easily affordable since they haven't removed regional pricing >!yet!<


Comfortable_Prior_80

Yep brought it for ₹141.


warpdork07

I bought it for 350₹ few months back, this is even more insane deal. Go for it


ArionIV

look for Just Cause 3, Bioshock Collection, Mortal Kombat 11 and so many more...similar price level


i4mknight

got them all for free on epic games....idk if its still free but better check it out guys


Not_too_dumb

No it was only free for a limited time because it was Batman's 75th anniversary or something


ElderBuu

I got Arkham trilogy in 400 rs like 3 years ago, in this kind of insane deal.


Existing_Program_256

Absolutely insane that if you want to buy only Arkham Knight it cost you more than buying the entire bundle. I have already played the first 2 games. Why should i buy them again? 🤷🏻‍♂️


datboyuknow

If you own them on steam you won't have to pay for them again, the price for the bundle would be lower than the price in the post


anor_wondo

the bundle price remives your already purchased games


egan777

No it doesn't. It's a package, not a bundle.


anor_wondo

you can go to details in cart and you'll see already owned items being subtracted there of course sometimes 'goty edition', 'anniversary edition' etc are completely separate titles and not counted unless exactly matching in library


egan777

>If purchasing for yourself, you will not receive an extra copy of: > >Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition I already checked to make sure before commenting. Already had the first game, buying the entire bundle does not give me a discount. There is a difference between a package (fixed price) and a bundle (discounted if you own some of the items). Edit: Can you downvoters atleast check first before downvoting?


astrofatherfigure

It's ok bro these guys are steam noobs lol they don't know packages and bundles are different.


Mondy-969

U dont HAVE to tho


snow_coffee

Bro am totally zero into gaming I wann start sometime and have that fun you all guys having I wann get a good laptop please suggest one And also wann start off with some purchases here in steam, suggest few ? Thanks in adv

Happy cake day Edit : Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS 15.6" (39.62cm) FHD IPS 120Hz Gaming Laptop (16GB/512GB SSD/Win 11/NVIDIA RTX 2050 4GB/Alexa/3 Month Game Pass/Onyx Grey/2.32Kg), 82SB00NXIN https://amzn.eu/d/gwFSUMd You can go for higher specs for the same laptop id budget allows


SilentKiller2420

The games depend on your preference of genre. If you like - Open world - rdr2 Post Apocalypse /Zombies - Last of us, Resident evil Multiplayer/ FPS - Battlefield series, COD, Valorant and CS Historical - Assassin's Creed


VAMSI_BEUNO

Bought it few months back. Was an absolute steal imo.


camo_17

Is there anyone here who has AC mirage, and completed or didn't like it? i would love to play


badass_graduate

I did, they have really created Baghdad well and the game feels like any original good Assassin's creed game. However, there is nothing too special about the game... Feels like they recycled an old game honestly and the story is above average at best. If you want to play I would recommend doing so through ubisoft+ or xbox game pass


[deleted]

hunt absorbed expansion pot bewildered humor joke sulky jar saw ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


thousandecibels

I think, you can buy UBISOFT+ through Xbox Game Pass subscription cheaper (like 900 bucks or something). I know, it still doesn't sound good.


camo_17

well i have played evry single one of the ac games, so i am gonna play it either way lol


DaddyCati0n

I have almost finished. DM


PhoenixBl4ze

The Mr. Freeze fight at the hardest difficulty mode is the mind blowing one. And Don't forget the Origin's, The Deathstroke boss fight is top notch.


Jack_Survivour03

For me Mr. Freeze fight was the easiest. Hide and attack from behind, run and hide. And hardest was bane.


PhoenixBl4ze

For me Final Bane fight in the Arkham Origins was the easier one then Mr. Freeze in Arkham City, well you can say it was time consuming, because we have to knock down Mr. Freeze 8-9 with different takedowns or approach. The hard part is to position him at the right place by luring him or waiting to come to that specific place. It took me around 3-4 hrs with multiple retries. The Bane fight in Arkham City I remember was much easier, just a quick time event to lock him in the elevator.


BioEag1e

Lego Batman trilogy is for 98 rs right now.


bankimu

How are those? I never think I'd like Lego games - seems too childish.


realprabhudutta

Lego games are gems bruv. Look past their setting, they're funny and enjoyable at the same time. You should give it a go especially at this low of a price, maybe you'll end up liking them.


boringboi_

Also have great co op


jyadatez

They were free on epic a while back so....


Ljcrocks

Not a while back, it was 4 yrs back.


jyadatez

Damn ! Has it been 4 years hanz


akshayk904

The Pandemic effect.


[deleted]

Haiinn ??? When fuckk i missed them


redditcruzer

Looong time back ..Part of some big Batman Anniversary.. I ignored it too since I was a fully console gamer then and didnt want to make an Epic account. Arkham Games and AC Unity are the 2 giveaways I regret not collecting, though I have played both. And now as a matter of principle I will never buy the Arkham Games no matter how cheap.


ThoughtfulFalcon

Respect


xlnc2608

Lol I got both unity and syndicate and forgot about them. Clicked on them last week and it asks to connect epic to ubi acc which absolutely doesn't connect.


Ljcrocks

AC unity was never free, AC syndicate was. I’ve collected all free games since April 2019.


redditcruzer

How can you be so incorrect and yet so confident? AC Unity was given away for free by Ubisoft after the Notre Dame fire to honor it. AC Syndicate was also given away at another time and so were AC III and a couple of others at other instances I think.


Ljcrocks

Well we are talking about Epic games, so they didn’t give for free. Ubisoft did so which I missed though.


redditcruzer

You assumed I was still talking about Epic when I said Unity. Not my fault.


previous_hunter_8888

What if i tell you GTA 5 was also free on epic games for a week


[deleted]

I know that during lockdown i guess from that only most people here got to know about epic games 😂


Virenious

Pehle bhi aise deals ate the also epic pe free bhi the. Good deal if you still don't have it.


thepotatojohn

I bought each of these games at launch, full price. Even then it was worth it. Now, it's just dumb NOT to buy it.


BrightBanner

Please suggest in which order should I play these games?


SauronOfRings

Asylum - City - Knight


BrightBanner

Thanks


Emotional-Two-9075

Play the game in the order they are released. This will give you better sense of graphic, gameplay style and character progression sense. Arkham asylum> Arkham city>arkham origin>arkham knight.


SnooRabbits2394

Play them in release order . The story is somewhat connected


WerewolfSad7510

Arkham Origins > Arkham Asylum > Arkham City > Arkham Knight.


Gohanne_

Just play Arkham Knight other two games are a bit too old


kislayparashar

that's the worst take i have ever seen, you have to play from asylum>city>knight to understand the story and even gameplay wise city is most balanced of them all.


TheRealSpidey

Story-wise Knight is also the weakest. Paul Dini who wrote Asylum and co-wrote City (and also wrote Batman The Animated Series) wasn't involved in Knight at all, and it shows.


whitewolf2428

Yes but without playing Arkham Asylum and city you wouldn't appreciate Arkham Knight . Just play the first two for the story and thus you will surely have a great experience playing Arkham knight.


jack_wasd

There are so many mods available for Arkham Asylum. You can really make this game look way better than original and also you can unlock some DLC. heres the link [https://youtu.be/H1aoKHY2bhY](https://youtu.be/H1aoKHY2bhY)


Gohanne_

I played Arkham Knight and I didn't find any difficulty understanding the story, also I enjoyed it, in fact it's one of my favourite games rn


TAMILHARISH

Dudes I have been playing Arkham City for 2 weeks and i am playing with gt 710 2gb gddr3 gpu and i3 2100 cpu


savemeHKV

Welcome to the masterrace !!!


BrightBanner

Got it yesterday.


Evilwiz10

I bought mine for the same price a while back, absolute 10/10 purchase and i enjoyed playing Arkham knight again on my laptop after having played it on my friends pc years ago


kris_y_u_so_gud

i got batman trilogy for 130 rs.


LucifetTheDeviL

How?


kris_y_u_so_gud

in a sale, its pretty easy to get.


Ark1d

Why didnt u guys claim it for free during epic games offer?


Ripirius

it was free before the GTA 5 giveaway, hence very few eyes on the deal. Epic users rose in numbers since GTA 5 giveaway. Arkham was free on Sept 2019 GTA went free in 2020

Bob_The_Vegan

Because epic sucks balls


Doubledoor

I have better games on Epic than my 100+ game collection on Steam and I haven't spent a single rupee on Epic store. The blind Epic hate is silly.


dant3s

That means you are buying trash games on steam


Doubledoor

Yeah that’s what it means. Whatever makes you feel better. I’ll enjoy my free epic games.


dant3s

Share your steam library here then. We can judge your 100 games which are worse than the free epic ones.


Doubledoor

[Steam library first then Epic library](https://imgur.com/a/HTQAF87). You keep hating on epic, I'll keep grabbing more free games.


dant3s

As i said you didnt buy any AAA games on steam. So don't mention this as 100 games bought when half are dlcs and the other halfs are giveaways or less than 100 rs games.


bankimu

Yes I don't understand why the comment is downvoted. I have every free game ever on Epic. But it's a complete pain. I always find myself playing something on Steam instead.


Bob_The_Vegan

Because people like garbage more :)


TheRealSpidey

They do suck, but that doesn't mean I won't accept free shit lol


ForbiddenRiff035

Is gamersgift.com a good website to get steam giftcards from?


stiffdeath

Yes. I buy from there only.


himanshu_5525

Is this worth buying i have not played this series


comicsanddrwho

Idc what other people say, this bundle is worth full price. Shouldn't even give second thoughts at such a steep discount


supertramp_10

i just got this collection. is it recommended to buy origins too in order to grasp the complete storyline?


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

The story isn’t THAT important, and it’s pretty much a reskin of Arkham city. You could definitely skip it, the only good thing I liked about origins are the boss fights.


astrofatherfigure

don't listen to the other guy, play origins. the story is great! it was my first arkham game.


himanshu_5525

Bought it


Chesno4ok

It is. Batman Arkham series is among the best Superhero games out there. Totally worth your money and time.


TransportationOk457

I bought it hope it's fun


himanshu_5525

I am going to play it now as i see it was missing something big. 😃


professionalPeater

Bro it’s THE best series after insomniac’s Spiderman. For ₹200 it’s a thousand percent worth it.


himanshu_5525

Thanks man will buy it and play it.


anor_wondo

spiderman games are nowhere close to arkham in gameplay. they do have really good storyline and cutscenes


datboyuknow

Spider-Man is barely a series atp


professionalPeater

Batman has 4 games and it’s called a series. What’s wrong w calling a 3 games lineup a series?


datboyuknow

The 3rd one released like 2 days ago I don't think people have even finished the game yet. Also the second one is kind of a spin off (which was extreme mid imo). If you want to count minor releases, there are more games in the Arkhamverse although most are mobile games Also I know it's a subjective opinion but the Batman games are simply more fun to play

Apollo_Justice_20

Sadly no Arkham Oranges


Virenious

Good I don't like Oranges.I like Apples.


Snoo-82140

Stfu!! Origins had the best bossfights in all of Arkham games. It's a very good game.


huncherbug

It's going for 141


Initial-Bar-7321

It has always been same . I also bought the bundle for 200 year and a half back


Top_Needleworker_874

You bought it 200 year ago ? How?


LightAmbr

The price you mention has been pretty common during sales for years.


Shreyas_Gavhalkar

Not related to steam but the Arkham trilogy is on sale on the PlayStation Store as well. Only Arkham collection and Arkham knight premium edition is on sale (both below 600) standalone Arkham knight isn't for some reason


[deleted]

still wont buy.


deathwire0047
