Maybe both but who knows. Rocksteady deserves the sale though.DevelopmentArrested said:

This game has so much polish and atmosphere in it, it is crazy...
I'm really liking it a ton. I'm hoping they are hard at work on a sequel with Two-Face, Penguin, Clayface, Catwoman and Ras Al Ghul
Joker would have to make some kind of appearance though, cause his voice acting in this just adds a ton to the game.
I'll be buying the sequel day 1

Here's an interesting interview with Kevin Conroy where they discuss Arkham Asylum among other things.

How, HOW does Mark Hamill do that perfect joker laugh? Every time I hear it, I get chills.
Major bummer if this really is Hamill's swan song as the joker. I loved TDK, but Hamill's joker has to be my favorite.

next batman game with some coop action would be sick! maybe with robin, nightwing, or even batgirl(before her injury). put in some batmobile tumbler style and you'll got a winner!

I love how when you go to the Visitor's Center
Just another incredible touch in an absolutely incredible title.
it switches to first-person and stays in first-person. The perspective really lends an air of creepiness to the "inmate" at the end of the hall. Amazing. Not to mention that every time I've gone back, he had another joke. The doorway changing to The Joker's gaping maw was fucking sweet as well.

I'd worry over whether they could retain the core gameplay with any kind of co-op mode. Maybe for the challenge maps. I could see myself getting into that. I wouldn't mind a Rocksteady-developed, standalone Nightwing game, though! Or Azrael.

I've only been through two of those so far, but you're so right. They designed the whole nightmare scenario incredibly well.

Hamill goes through phases like this, he did it with Star Wars where he would not have anything to do with Luke for a while and he wouldn't sign any Star Wars stuff for a while.
I think when he sees the positive reaction that the game and his performance in the game has received he will definitely be in for more if the story is good.
macfoshizzle said:
No.
I have to honestly say that this statement makes me think that you did not even play the damned game that you are in a thread responding about.
Co-op would ruin the very foundation of the game and one of the major things that makes this game so great.
OokieSpookie said:
I agree with you completely. This game is very similiar to Bioshock in which any multiplayer component is not needed whatsoever. It's a single player experience, and it shines as one. (However, I hate comparing it to Bioshock because Bioshock becomes stale after a while, but this game is flowing with personality.)

fuck co op it doesn't need to be shoehorned into every game.

Head into the room where the two guards stay at, as soon as you walk in there will be a vent to the left that you use the batclaw on.

Ya, Walmart sparked a price slashing war, and everyone was down to $38 even if they didn't normally price match.
The game is great, but it still has a few issues. For example, one of the first in-game cut scenes while escorting the Joker into Arkham has the Joker's chin visibly clip through his chest a few times while the camera is zoomed on his face.

Out of curiosity did anyone get the special edition?
Thought this was pretty cool. It's been around for a few years, but it's still pretty awesome.

Fixed. Chin clipping?
Please.
i cannot stop wanting to make posts saying how amazing absolutely every part of this game is.
It's like the game creates a need to evangelize to all you meet: i want to preach its merits in every thread on this forum. It creates almost a religious fervor in me it's so incredible.

Yeah, that is a beautiful little piece. It's always seemed like Guillermo Del Toro meets Gotham to me. Two great tastes that taste great together.
I think the end of the game became a little repetitive. You're no longer seeing new areas and are required to backtrack further distances, and navigating becomes more of a chore (due to
). They also repeated the same combat encounter a bit too much too quickly imo (fighting
). You could see where some corners were cut during the level design of the
which was like one room copy and pasted 100 times.
It's still an amazing game, but much like Bioshock, the final moments weren't quite up to par with the rest of the game IMO.
the poison ivy plants blocking pathways etc
the titans several times which was already similar to the Bane fight
Killer Croc segment

hahaha, I'm getting too sucked into this game.
I just met
and I was on the edge of my seat. It's about to start storming in austin and I didn't know, and right as that section climaxed, a HUGE roar of thunder and a flash of lighting went off, and I nearly pissed my pants.
FUCK this game rules.

the scarecrow

Its a long install, but 16 minutes? Is that hyperbole? Because that seems too long.

A friendly word of advice. There's a entire series of games out there with Metroid in the title...you might want to just steer clear.

I noticed this in the opening cutscene.
I thought maybe my PS3 was overheating and got worried, but it hasn't done it since. I think that portion of the game might just be poorly optimized.

Do your worst.
Yes.
I'm finding it difficult to know exactly when it's safe to turn off the console? It's really easy to miss the saving icon and if you've collected a bunch of stuff and want to turn it off, you risk having to repeat some treasure hunting.
Fantastic game, but the Joker is repeating those random voiceovers and it's starting to grate on me a bit. Wish I could turn him off like that announcer guy in Crackdown.

At the same time, some of the stuff he says has me cracking up. My favorite one so far, and I'm paraphrasing, is "The batman looks like an idiot, sounds like an idiot, and walks like an idiot. But don't be fooled - he really is an idiot."
The delivery of that line is so spot on :lol :lol
