Batman's cape gets ripped? awesome!
Except for shock and awe. It punishes you for taking your time with combos making some moves impossible to do (bat claw and ground pound). I think I hit rank 11 in Rumble in the Jungle in the WW leaderboardstehvampire said:The extreme challenge fighting rooms are fun!
That challenge room based on the area in the demo, does anyone pick up enemies and throw them into those electric barries or off the rail?

or it didnt happen
Look dude, when there's a live bat flying around your apartment, you're not exactly thinking "hey, lemme grab a photo of this to post on an internet forum!" You know? You're pretty much focused on trying to un-fuck the situation.
But it did fucking happen. I swear.
I thought the game was kinda slow and repetitive... at first. Holy crap, this is the Batman game I've been waiting for.
One cool touch is that there seem to be multiple death scenes depending on where you die or who kills you. Most of them are just taunts, but some are different. One nice touch that references a comic story line is when you die in the 2nd boss fight
. I'm hoping to see a youtube montage of the different death scenes.
This game is holding up as a fantastic rental, but I definitely want to own this. Probably going to spring for the PC version when I have the money.

Looks like the viral marketing has started. There are two AA related websites up now:
Gotham City Municipal and Arkham Care
The Arkham Care website has an employee login, but it requires a Guard ID. Did any of you notice a guard's ID or email address during the game?

This is probably like the fifth time I've harped on this issue so far but the only thing stopping it from being a perfect game for me is lack of NG+ and extra costumes
I figure maybe if I keep complaining about it somebody from Eidos will read it and release DLC that features new batsuits and NG+!
Either way, I'm still gonna play through story mode probably at least two more times in the coming weeks and also try to go for the full 1000 achievement points. Such an amazing amazing game. For sure going to crack my top 5 all time list

This has all been up for a while and has been cracked. Can't remember quite how to do it but it's quite cool as virals go. It unlocks inmate tapes sessions that you can probably find on youtube now.
Thanks to a couple sick days, I beat it last night. I was around 80% of the riddle challenges and it probably took around 12 hours on normal which surprised the crap out of me.
I need to play through it again, but my preliminary opinion is this fucking thing could be one of the Top 10 greatest games ever made.
I don't really know how to explain it... It's like if Resident Evil 4, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Condemned, and [late game spoiler]

Nobody here will probably care but I just heard a stock drum loop from a music program called Stylus RMX. It's sort of a millitary style drum loop of snares, while you're outside and making way to the

Not the first time I've heard stock samples from a music program in movies, games and TV though. Just strange for me.

I keep thinking how ridiculous / awesome / terrible / funny it would be if out of nowhere Robin busted through the door and started fighting alongside me, with big text bubbles popping up every time he punched someone; "Smack!" "Boom!" "Kapow!"

Are any of the collectibles missable? Or can I go back to any part of the map as long as I don't defeat the final boss?
Only ~2 hours in so far, but I can tell that this is GOTY material for me. It's a shame that some people are running though the entire game in detective mode. This has to be one of the best-looking game of this generation.

Batman's face looks kinda sweaty/greasy in close-ups, like he just finished a bacon cheeseburger with cheese fries on a 90-degree day.

I caught myself doing this during the demo. (have yet to fire up the full game, even though I got it on Tues! damn you busy schedule!) I wish that it would turn off automatically after a bit and then take time to recharge before you could use it again. Either that or have limited battery life that can only be filled at certain stations or something (electric cables with exposed wiring could serve as a refill station)

Five Guys Burgers and Fries Gotham franchise confirmed!!

Has there ever been a more badass use of slow motion than the jumping-dive move in this game? I mean the cape just puts it on another level of badassness for me.
I can't believe this is Unreal 3; it makes other games--like Mirrors Edge--who use the engine look like they're doing something wrong. It's not even fair.

Hi GAF-
I really want to get a hold of the Dem Bones map (I'm a PS3 user). Would anyone be interested in gamesharing it? I have a few decent purchases that I'd be happy to let you download in return. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. Thanks.

It's a decent looking game, but they reuse so many of the assets over and over again. I played it on the console, so I'm sure it did look light years better on the PC with the added GPU features that it supported.
Edit: I'll keep it in the superhero family and say X-men Origins: Wolverine. That was a rough looking game.

Mirror's edge look gorgeous on PC. It's not just the PhysX stuff either as the higher resolution and AA make the art look cleaner. It makes a huge difference for this title.

I hate to ask this because I'm so early into the game, but I'm lost at a certain point.
I'm at the point where you're trying to follow the guy who kidnapped Gordon and are tracking him by the levels of alchool in the air outside of the holding cells. How do I go through the shielded corridor next to the cells? That's where the Detective Mode is leading me...
