seems pretty fun so far, combat makes you feel like a badass doing nothing, which I like

How do you do benchmarks?
I finally started getting good at the combat challenge. 18/24 so far I just have Shock and Awe and Jungle on extreme to beat complete all the challenges.
Anybody know where I can see vids of the really really high scores? Guys on the leaderboards are in the 100k+ range in particular

wow....my personal best combo is 48!

Ok. Thanks. I will have to try that out.
So I just found a cutscene that I had never seen before. I was at the gardens and
I don't know if any of you had seen it before but it was my first time and I've played through it 3 times.
I went to the room with the water in the middle before I had shut the power off and got a nice joker cutscene. He threw a dude in the water and fried him.

It's specific Riddler challenges. When you look at the challenges on the main Riddler screen it will tell you which of them have associated unlocks (I'm not sure it tells you specifically which items it unlocks though, but I'm sure that information won't be too hard to track down).legend166 said:

just finished now.
what an outstanding game. I'm really happy for Rocksteady.
this year's Bioshock/Dead Space, for sure.

Yes, you can. I did during my second playthrough to see how the game would react. Instead
of a guard getting fried, Joker just ran through the doorway and blew it up

BAA is sooo much better than those two, as far as i'm concerned.Rez said:

I just picked this up off steam yesterday, and must be almost done with it (
). IMO, Arkham Asylum has lived up to the hype, and that bar was set pretty goddamn high, since nobody can talk about it without masturbating at the same time.
It's really hard to attribute what makes AA so good to any single thing. Before playing it, I couldn't see what the big deal was - it looked like an average game that had a lot of shallow systems. And that's kind of true...the part about the shallow systems, I mean. But the "tone" and "presentation" of the game (both very ambiguous, but I'm not sure how else to describe them) are done so well, it really ties everything together. It's a very loose feeling game, but in a very tight and solid package, and is the best single player experience I've had in a while.

dang I kinda wish it were a bit shorter, then, but w/e. 2-3 sittings, I guess, is ok...I still prefer the 1-2 format of the recent VALVE stuff, though.Kard8p3 said:

Best thing about this game for me was that I never followed the progress of this game. I never even knew it was announced. I wasn't interested. So, this basically popped outta nowhere for me. I hate hearing about a game and waiting months/years for it to release. So, this definately was a nice surprise.

When I walked in the door, and I was in that narrow hallway with all the cheering guards, I calmly laid three blobs of explosive gel on the floor, stood back, and cackled when they all hit the floor at the same time.

It was the one where you have to take out 3 thugs with 3 different walls simultaneously. Figured it out.Minamu said:Youtube/trophyjunkie sites?
Thanks though!I am now:

*sigh*
Last night, I did the last few Freeflow challenges that I needed for the 100% achievement on the PC version and this is what transpired:
1. After finally getting the 50k on the last map, the achievement popped up for Freeflow Gold and was followed by the Perfect Knight achievement...
2. ...or so I thought, as I had exited the game to check some stuff online real quick and noticed that while the Freeflow Gold achievement got through just fine, the Perfect Knight one did not. Worried, I booted the game up again and...
3. ...MY SAVE CORRUPTED.
Apparently, the save corruption is not an uncommon issue that people are having, and I wouldn't have minded it so much if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't get credit for 100%, despite the fact that there should be no way that it would work otherwise. Take a look at what should have been impossible for yourself!
At least Hard is awesome.

Guess I must try dodging it...

All you need to do is use the middle stick to dodge the joker's gunfire.

omg this game is awesome.... where the hell did rocksteady come from!?
GOD, is there some reason, besides being cheap, that batman slows down on his attacks sometimes while enemies are on normal speed hitting you? :/
Its so annoying watching batman in slowmo clearly attacking the enemy first and the guys just hit him out of his unnecessary slow downs.

Pretty sure that's the game giving you time to react and counter the attack.jrricky said:

Exactly. I didn't even get to see them try that shit. Took them out with a remote batarang from across the map.
