This game is flat out incredible. I almost feel overwhelmed at the constant new missions that are appearing.

Very nice. Think you can screen cap one of her hot ass with the moon in the image somewhere?TheExodu5 said:
I got it earlier today, and I've only just stopped playing (other than to eat dinner). I'm not that far into it, and I love this game.
I like that the game managed to balance out all the villains, and not make it feel overly crowded and diluted. Guess it helps that it's based in Arkham.

And holy shit Calendar Man and Solomon Grundy!

Question for those familiar with Batman lore and already past the bell tower near the beginning..
That isn't Hush laying on the gurney with the box of human organs is it? I wouldn't figure it would be as I'd imagine Batman would identify him and I don't recall Thomas Elliot cutting his face off but talking with the doctor who's aiding him....something is definitely up with the guy.

Just a headsup, seems the game resets to check for DLC anytime a download finishes which is annoying. I was in the middle of fighting a bunch of baddies when my Sonic Generations demo finished and it booted me back to the menu because it thought it had acquired some DLC. :/

That's what I'm thinking as well. It's a nice little Easter Egg they put in. Also the "Pay your respects" achievement is a nice Easter Egg as well.

True.
But Rocksteady's version of Robin is a jacked-up, hooded badass inspired by the fighting styles seen in the UFC.
I'm not enjoying this game as much as I enjoyed Arkham Asylum.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Really surprised at how not coy they are about naming people who are in this universe. I don't even think anyone mentioned Robin in the first game and here regular street thugs are talking him up even.

Maybe the initial feeling for the "newness" of the franchise has worn off? Or you're doing something wrong because this game is amazing.

I've only done the first two, but I felt as though they were too brief for me to really get into her shoes and play her properly. In particular, her movement abilities in conjunction with the predator sections seem to offer some really cool possibilities, but I just couldn't learn it fast enough to do it properly. Combat wise, she's extremely similar to Batman, but the crawling up on ceilings and walls and the whip in movement make her quite interesting.Fjordson said:

Grappling and gliding never gets old. Batman seems way more agile because of it. It's so cool. It kind of reminds of the Tenchu series.

No. It just doesn't feel as tightly paced and expertly directed as the first game to me.
But the same can be said for most open-world games. Which is why I was kind of weary of Rocksteady taking this series in that direction.
First five minutes I played, felt like Captain Badass... loved the opening. I had to pause and smoke a cigarette, it was soooo goood.
Almost makes me wish I had a 3D TV set up.
I also find it funny that the soundtrack sounds closer to Dark Knight, mixed with a subtle melody from the previous Arkham game.

I fucking dread getting to that part, can you spoilSixStringPsycho said:
how many times i will encounter this shark? i really don't feel like having a heart attack while playing, from what i seen you don't have to worry about it if you tip toe on the ice, but when your doing the raft thing it tries to eat it? is that it?
Also for people who are really far or beaten what is this
T-Rex stuff all about? is there an actual t-rex that is going to make me shit my pants?
why can't i just have a goddamn normal game without scary creatures? is it too much to ask for? like that zombie/yeti monster shit in UC/UC2.. I JUST WANT TO PLAY A GAME AND NOT BE SCARED
Didn't AA also use music from the movies? or am i crazy?Epcott said:

All I am going to say is, echoing what has already been said
oooommmmgg. Did not like the
section tho, despite its pluses with references
dat ninja dat pummel
oooommmmgg. Did not like the
penguin
My only complaint so far is that hard kicks the crap out of you, and normal is pretty much a cakewalk. In AA, I played about halfway on normal, then restarted on hard. In a perfect world, I'd be able to play a bit on normal and get my chops back, then switch to hard without having to restart. As it stands now, I tried the first fight on hard about 10 times without getting even close to beating it, and decided to go normal. And man is it easy so far.
Other than that, it's fantastic.

Okay Gaf, I can't decide whether to keep the CE that I managed to snag for $60 or buy the regular edition for $45 and get a $30 off a future purchase coupon. Is there anything in the CE worthwhile besides the statue? Fffff... I don't know what to do.

The statue itself is gorgeous but the early access to the DLC is also nice. The artbook, while not very big offers some great pieces. I'm terrible with CE though, even if it were pure shit I'd have to have it.

I did. Picked up the Catwoman copy (there is also a Batman version), I like the poster and the 6 lithographs it comes with. There is also a comic inside, the art included isn't a whole lot.

I only struggle on hard when I try to get fancy with my combat. If I play the bread and butter style of strike and counter up to a combo takedown, I am completely unstoppable. When I try to mix in gadgets and all the different variations I tend to cock things up and take hits.Jintor said:

I traded in some stuff to get the CE, in total it cost me $5. I cant believe people are paying $10+ for skins on ebay.
