That gamespot review seems to be more inline with my expectations than the others. I suppose I'll hold off till there are more impressions and reviews before I pay less than $10 for it on steam.

 

[graffix13]

That's what I was worried about.

Same here.

Dammit. Still going to play the shit out of this of course.

 

[Alienous]

Hmm seems like for some this is one of the best games this generation and just good to one person.

ftfy, lol.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Great start, don't mind forced Batmobile sections.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Forced use of the Batmobile is really disappointing.

You're bound to find someone who'll sell their GTX 970/980 code for cheap. Got mine for €15.

 

[Asd202]

ftfy, lol.

Well gamesradar gave it an 4/5 so maybe I should have said pretty good .

 

[GHG]

You sound like you wouldn't agree?

Is there a reason I should agree with a hyperbolic statement like that?

 

[dugdug]

Still gonna wait on it. Arkham City is still at 96% on metacritic and I wasn't that taken with it.

Awesome for Rocksteady, though! Congrats to that team.

[KillerSloth]

Why does gamespot always almost seem contrarian except a few titles? They always seem to be one of the lower scores.

 

[j0hnny_385]

LAAAAAAAAAAWD

Tuesday can't come soon enough. \o/

 

[tomhan]

I don't enjoy the super hero genre at all. I curse good game devs / filmmakers for using their talents to make super hero schlock. I sincerely hope Rocksteady never makes another super hero game.

All that being said, I will buy this game day 1.

 

[Boke1879]

This was easily a must buy from on all the footage shown. Getting good reviews. This is gonna be good

Someone make the thread.

 

[Onimusha78]

Should've been more vocal about the batmobile, but I thought Rocksteady had the good sense to not over do it.

 

[Carbonox]

Great reviews, I don't mind the batmobile stuff either. Can't fucking wait.

I can't see why it couldn't be the best game of the generation so far. Why couldn't it be? A lot of production value. It looks great, probably plays even better. Sounds like a good candidate.

 

[Alienous]

I had an expectation that it wouldn't quite come together, so the amount of 9+ reviews are blowing me away.

 

[funkystudent]

Gamespot review mentions a lot of the concerns I have with the game.

Will continue to wait and see I guess.



Rest of the reviews seem good but thats not exactly a sign of a games quality these days.

 

[Lakitu]

Paid off my pre-order. Sounds like Rocksteady have done it again. Don't like the forced Batmobile thing though.

 

[Kriken]

Nice start to these reviews, finished Arkham Asylum in preparation for next week, can't wait

9/10

It's rather deep text. Seems game gets way better and more authentic after first few hours

9.5 from GI

[giancarlo123x]

Few more days.

 

[Exterminieren]

Lots to get excited about, but the Batmobile stuff, and the Batmobile combat in particular, doesn't sound good at all.

Ah well.

Damn Rocksteady did an amazing job.

 

[aussiedude08]

Shit, getting better scores than i expected. I was expecting mid 8's and low 9s

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Why does gamespot always almost seem contrarian except a few titles? They always seem to be one of the lower scores.

Why is their having a different opinion contrarian? Maybe, you know, they just didn't feel the same way about it that others did, a perfectly human thing for them to do.

This is the 4th (5th if you count Blackgate) Arkham game. Expectations are different.

 

[Lifejumper]

Mc prediction:
90

 

[Palette Swap]

Sorry if I come off as lazy but does any review confirm challenges are still there?
I speed read the Polygon review and they don't seem to mention them.

 

[witness]

GameSpot might be the outlier here. That's how it's looking.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Rocksteady does it again.

Have we heard on the length yet?

 

[Baron_Calamity]

so it seems the batmobile is shit, every reviews states the same, even the ones with high score

So it sounds like everything is as good as the previous game, except for the Batmobile. I can accept that.

Usually when most opinions are one direction..the one that goes against the grain stands out...pretty easy to understand. I was just asking why it almost always seems to be gamespot. Outliers stand out.

 

[Yazuka]

Man Tuesday can't come soon enough. Looking forward to sink my fangs into this.

 

[phanphare]

Lots to get excited about, but the Batmobile stuff, and the Batmobile combat in particular, doesn't sound good at all.

Ah well.

yeah that's pretty concerning to me as well

the batmobile stuff never seemed to fit in with what worked best from the series. although I'm an Asylum > City guy so that might explain it.

ah well, I'm sure it's still a good game though

 

[Red Hood]

Shit, getting better scores than i expected. I was expecting mid 8's and low 9s

For the final chapter of games that got a ~ 92% and 94%? Nah bro, we should expect nothing less from Rocksteady by now.

What?

 

[LiK]

No one really liked the Batmobile tank parts eh

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

I was afraid of being forced to use the Batmobile. I trust Van Ord as a reviewer. Will probably hold off.

 

[Tizoc]

Steam preload when?

 

[The Lamonster]

Perfect scores are such a joke. I don't think I've ever played a perfect game.

Anyway, glad to see the high scores

 

[shandy706]

I look forward to playing this down the road.

After 3 games I'm Batman'ed out. Don't really have any hype or interest at all right now.

I'll keep an eye on PC deals/sales/bargains.

Spoiler

I've also, somehow, bought 8 games in the Steam sale (that I don't need with my backlog) to keep me busy.

 

[Alienous]

So I'm getting the sense from the reviews that the story is nothing to write home about.

I look forward to seeing for myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if Martin Lancaster and co. didn't achieve anything compelling. Still even the prospect of a mediocre story somewhat excites me, it's weird.

That's good to hear. Now I'm hoping their PC version isn't as awful as AC and more inline with AO's performance on PC.

 

[Certinty]

From the recent videos I've seen the Batmobile does seem out of place, looks like something out of a Transformers game in all honesty.

Still looking forward to this though, first three games were all pretty good.

 

[BearPawB]

The Batmobile never once sounded like a good idea.
Even if the rest of the game is great, I am not sure I need to play another one of these.
