Batman: Arkham Asylum

Trailer showing off some of the combat in the soon to be relased game. looks like a fun game and something for us nerds to drool over as we play as batman fighting all his classic villians why this wasn't relased alongside the dark knight movie is beyond my business understanding. |
I'm really glad they got the VAs from the cartoon.

midnight release tomorrow! at 11 pm gamestop is having a costume contest. gonna be lolz
|
I tried the demo and I hope I'm just missing something. It really is the first Batman game that isn't juts bat-sprites pasted over a Bat-pisspoor-beatemup, so I really should feel more - but it's just "grapple, grapple, kill." And it really is the worst example of screaming "Another twenty people just died because of you, Bathole, and this is only the demo! SHOOT HIM!"
Still, the silent kills are awesome enough I'll probably pick it up and playthrough during the inevitable Steam sale (I have a magic ability to trigger Steam sales just after buying games, so this time I'm going to wait.) |

I think if you focus more on how awesome it is to be Batman and less on how good or bad the game is, you'll probably enjoy it more. |
It already came out for the console. Too bad I'm holding out for the superior pc version to ship next month. :(
|
Hey, I didn't know they were using Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil for the voices. I'll almost definitely be buying this now :O
|
:o
|
this game has amazing presentation, story, graphics, etc. etc. etc. just the gameplay is super duper streamlined (which is kinda okay) but can be limiting at times. but PG said it best: it's just fucking awesome to be batman
the challenge maps are hella fun though |
ok so you guys mentioned that k. conroy and m. hamill were doing voices, but you forgot to mention that PAUL DINI WROTE THE STORY. holy shit that is exciting
|
BEAT. now getting all the riddler trophies / challenges. some of this shit is hella clever
edit: 199/240 i think this is the funnest part of the game :( |
I dropped $98 on the wal-mart exclusive collector's edition. I WANTED THAT BATARANG!
I have yet to play it, though. |
the walmart half price deal probably made this the best selling game in a while.
|
BALLA. 88% complete with all story, all riddles, all upgrades, yadda yadda done. now i just have to beat every challenge map. getting 3 bats on the combat maps is going to suuuuuuck
|
Great game until
SPOILERS What I think is the final boss. They stole from The Batman. THEY STOLE FROM THAT UNHOLY CRAPFEST THE BATMAN WITH THE BEFFY JOKER SHIT. WHY?!?! It would have been more awesome if it was a fight ala Batman 1989 or Mask of Phantasm with Bats and Joker going at each other mono e mono |
|
PG are you proud of me i beat a game in a week huh huh huh are you
|
MAYBE IF YOU FINISHED THAT OTHER GAME YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FINISH. IN MAY.
WE'RE GOING ON 4 MONTHS NOW THAT'S A NEW RECORD. |
WHAT GAME IS THIS I FORGET :X
and fuck the medals on the predator extreme challenge maps. uguguhghghgug |
man those predator challenges were fun as shit to figure out even if they got a little frustrating in spots :( replaying it on hard mode since i got basically everything but the combat badges on medium
|
ANOTHER MINOR GRIPE: PEOPLE STOP USING CREE SUMMER FOR *ANY* VOICEWORK
for fucks sake i can't play a game without hearing tandi from fallout in it these days and it really kills the immersion for me |
How are the Joker challenge maps?
|
subtle
