Batman: Arkham City

[Scutch]

Nice.

It just doesn't excite me though... Batman; really?

That's exactly what I thought about Arkham Asylum. Yet couldn't put the f*cking thing down until I'd completed it. Loved it.

 

[Christopher]

Hmm! Might give it a try then!

My issue is, with Forza 4 and BF3... I'm unlikely to play something like this for a while.

Honestly mate, this is exactly what I thought, then... I bought it. I couldn't believe how good the game was, even the first part was incredible with the Joker being pushed through the asylum. I highly recommend you get it, I only paid something like £3 for it off Steam. It's easily in my top 10, maybe even top 5.

This!
I borrowed it off a friend, and I didn't give it back until I 100%'d the Story Mode. f**king awesome game and I couldn't stop playing it.

I borrowed the first one off a mate last week. Maybe it's because I'd been playing AC2 for about a month (really wanted all achievements ) but really can't get into Batman, feels far too linear for me.

Play it through the scarecrow scenes, absolute winner for the game for me.

Someones leaked the first 15 minutes of the game on to Youtube. I've not watched it yet, I cba

It's out there though

 

[Scutch]

So much for IGN giving it a 10/10. Still, considering they now do increments of .5 then 9.5 is still an awesome score.

Order Status: Processing

I've not purchased anything from TheHut before, anyone know what they are like delivery wise?.

I think I'll give this game plenty of attention before BF3, as soon as I go online with BF3 nothing else will get a look in..

Had the special edition on order with Game and randomly just received an email from them this morning saying that the order has been cancelled

Nice work.

 

[Silent_Scone]

All the trailer and tv spot footage is from the PC version which is a bit sly, especially seeing as it's not out for another 2 weeks

 

[Scutch]

Just pre-ordered with Shopto but then cancelled as I'll just go to Gamestation in town and trade in LA Noire and Deus Ex. Don't play them anymore so no big deal and it'll be cheaper in the long run. Hopefully. Knowing Gamestation they'll probably charge £60 for Batman.

 

[Wilkeh]

My goodness! It's scored 98/100 on Metacritic for the PS3. That's the highest scored PS3 game to date, even higher than Uncharted 2 iirc?

Should hope so, Uncharted 2 although superb has about as much replay value as a banana.

Well, I played through it 4 times so I guess it's down to preference. First playthrough I played to finish. 2nd I played through on harder difficulty. 3rd I collected all the trophies and other cool stuff using the infinite ammo and weapons bonus I'd unlocked and 4th I played through using a different character which I'd unlocked.

I agree with you Scutch, I thought it had replay value and have played it several times.

Yea good point. I started going through Uncharted again to find all the treasures but then I got the YLOD and still not had it repaired. I shall be buying Batman for the PC.

 

[Rhino172]

got my order dispatched e-mail last night, fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

 

[richo]

Mine was dispatched yesterday with ShopTo would love to think it would be waiting at home for me.

 

[Scutch]

Just ordered mine via Shopto as they have that title on 5 minute dispatch.

F*ck going to Gamestation and trading games in for £5. I've put them on Ebay.

 

[Toby]

Anyone watching xcal's play through on YT?

 

[Wilkeh]

Anyone had theirs yet? Can't believe I've got to wait another 2 weeks for it to come on the PC

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Got my collectors edition today from game, now about to start geeky night ahead of me!

 

[_Logie]

I'll be driving up to lift my collectors edition tomorrow.

Let us know what you think of it LY. No doubt it's gonna be fantastic.

 

[m4rkie23]

Just got home and have my collectors edition from shopto. looking forward to this one!

 

[Wilkeh]

Verdict lads?





** No sign of them on the forum is a good sign **

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

If you enjoyed Asylum you'll love this so fun so far!

 

[sneeks]

I'll definitely buy this next month when paid, loved the first game.

 

[GarethM]

I'm trying not to go and buy this tonight, currently have F1, Fallout New Vegas and Fifa 12 on the go.

 

[Rhino172]

fingers crossed for a delivery today!

What did the collectors edition come with? anything extra in game or just a fancy box? (can't view gaming sites at work)

 

[Scutch]

Went home at lunch to install.

Downloaded the Catwoman DLC too.

Picking it up after work, I havent played the first one though?

Shouldn't matter too much, although you did miss out on an epic game.

It's £5 on Steam for the PC. I'd HIGHLY recommend you go get it. If not for the PC it will still be under £10 for the PS3 and 360.
