Differences are minimal, just like they were for AA. Get it for your system of choice without worry.

Can't wait to hear everyones impressions who pick it up later tonight.

Usually our Fed-Ex/UPS deliveries arrive around 11:30 am, so I hope to get early tomorrow.

Already did a lot of extra work today, so tomorrow afternoon, I'll be able to dig right in.

 

[Revolutionary]

Does the NOS thing work in the US?

According to the site, it's US-only.

 

[xKilltheMx]

I wasnt excited for this game AT ALL until like 2 days ago and saw the open world goodness.

Pre-Ordered at gamestop and getting it at Midnight now.

Spiderman is better. And spiderman 2 > *

Told my friend about this and he freaked out because he loves batman beyond. Came by my place with an extra can for me. Just redeemed the code on psn.

Been lost in the PS3 version for the last few hours. Had to tear myself away from the game to put a dent in my final term paper due tomorrow night. The hype seem justified from my play. When you get to the Catwoman action, you'll be just surprised how different she feels vs. Batman. There's just so much content though. In between following the main path, there are so many side missions that I can easily see folks getting dozens of hours of gameplay.

Since there are questions, the PS3 version runs very smooth, even in 3D. Some minor clipping notwithstanding, I'm very happy with the visuals and special effects. Haven't see the 360 version obviously, but I'm not sitting here pissed about a crummy version. On the topic of 3D, it is very subdued and understated with the exception of a few cut scenes where it is dialed up to show off the field of depth.

Robin is supposed to be a playable character too right? Is he coming via DLC?

 

[Korosenai]

Anyone have a nos point they'd be willing to give out?

 

[iumogg]

Alright Nolan North definitely voices every 2nd goon. Hear him everywhere in this game now

He also voices

If you pre-order with best buy in america then you get him right away if not then you would wait for the middle of November for him. Another character will be available november 1st, but i do not want to ruin anyone surprise.

If it works with Canada, I ask the same.

Thanks, November it is then...

What I wouldn't give to get a playable Nightwing! He'd fit perfectly in this universe.

You serious? That man is magic. Had no idea that was him.

 

[Bazhard]

Wow, that's a really impressive performance by him then. Big range he has.

I would like to know this before I go buy a thing I never have bought before (energy drink)

Ugh, I really don't like the collector's edition. It's so bland and blah. I wish I didn't feel obligated to get the collector's edition (getting it for $60). I think I'll keep it and just buy a the boxart/manual later on.

 

[Solideliquid]

Is this going to be on-demand for PS3 or Xbox? iOS spoiled me.

 

[Nori Chan]

I'm going to play some challenge maps from AA.

I never played them but it'll be a good warm up for tomorrow.

 

[lolez2matt]

Just finished it and I´m in 40%.....

So much things to do still

 

[Pelydr]

Yes

I LOL'D

 

[VindictiveGnome]

I LOL'D

STANDARD! Oh man.

 

[BruiserBear]

Has anyone with the game posted pics of the box yet?

 

[lolez2matt]

I started saturday playing and I think like 10 to 12 hours, doing some side missions (like 5% of them aprox)...

So you can go back and finish side missions after you complete the story?

 

[Doomrider]

.... Well? Tell us how much you loved it =D

 

[Plissken]

Amazon still hasn't sent me an email stating it's shipped, and it still says "shipping soon" on my account.

 

[The Elite]

Yes.

Post-Game.

Ok GAF I need Ur advice. What version should I get ps3 or xbox ? no pc cause i'm a mac guy

I'd say the differences are minimal, so I'd pick whichever controller you prefer.

 

[lolez2matt]

Like it a lot, and no many games in a long time got me so hook up like this one <3

by the way pics of the box and their includes.
Yeah, thats the manual....

 

[B-Dex]

Manual doesn't even tell you what buttons do what. It literally says put the disc in to play. Hold the button to quit. 2 pages of legal garbage.

 

[cacophony]

I like how there's a table of contents for 2 pages

 

[black_vegeta]

Manual doesn't even tell you what buttons do what. It literally says put the disc in to play. Hold the button to quit. 2 pages of legal garbage.

Similiar to the Gears of War 3 manual. Literally 2 pages of jibberish and that's it.

This is becoming the new standard. Saves money.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

Instruction Manuals are DLC

 

[Digishine]

Instruction Manuals are DLC

And to read them u need a code. Very clever...

 

[ACESmkII]

Whoa!!! At the reviews this is getting.

I've avoid just about every trailer and info on this game. I'm just diving in head first on the notion that I really enjoyed the first game.

Got a call saying I can pick up my pre-order at midnight. So glad I have the day off tomorrow.

Fuck yeah.gif

 

[lucius]

Amazon still hasn't sent me an email stating it's shipped, and it still says "shipping soon" on my account.

Mine also still says shipping soon and I have release day delivery if I don't get it Tuesday that would stink since I could have just went to Wallmart and got it tonight with free AA.

 

[Luthos]

(good) Game manuals are slowly going extinct. =(

 

[VICTORsaurio]

I haven't played the first one, do you guys recommend playing it before getting this one?

 

[Nightz]

Definitely. Just finished it today actually. Excellent game.

 

[hamchan]

One of the best games this generation and it should be cheap now, so yes.

 

[JJD]

Steelbook has arrived

Where did you buy it? I've pre ordered the Shopto version with Two-face on the back (I wanted the Joker or Catwoman! sadface) but it seems that they won't be carrying the blue ray movie, nor a challenge room code...

 

[Auto_aim1]

I haven't played the first one, do you guys recommend playing it before getting this one?

Yes, of course, it will take you 15 hours or so and the gameplay mechanics are quite similar. It's an amazing game. You will appreciate Arkham City a lot more.

Yes.
