Batman: Arkham City thread

Honestly this game is coming out at a bad time, the holidays are fucking packed. Sales wise this game would have been better coming out this fall or after the year.

Some reviews have given it good scores which may help encourage consumers to get it.
I sadly will wait for a used copy or price drop ^_^;

It is coming out with Skyrim, BF3, MW3, Uncharted 3, etc etc. They could not have picked a worse release date for it. The smartest thing EA did with Mass Effect 3 was push it back to early 2012.

Hype for this game.
Only other game worthwhile to get is Uncharted 3. No point in getting skyrim since my PC isnt manly enough to run it :[

Telling. Sorry for the confusion. Rocksteady said after you beat the game on normal or hard, you get two New Game+ options…

  1. NG+ with upgraded gadgets carried over and a harder difficulty (e.g. tougher end game thugs showing up sooner)
  2. NG+ with default difficulty and gadgets, but now you can use the alternate skins. In other words, alt skins are not available first play through.

And I believe both options carryover the Riddler trophies you’ve found.

Ah I see. Ok. Thanks for clearing that up. If hard is anything like it was in AA, I’ll be playing hard right away anyway. Any word on if all the ksins will be available for the general public soon after release or anything? I must have too many of them to settle for only one lol.

Woah I see your point…

Video shows Mad Hatter and Poison Ivy

man…who else is in this game!?

awesome. I’m soo fuckin hype for this game, I just wish it didn’t come out so soon after Dark Souls and right before Uncharted 3.

He looks cool. I like that he does actually use his staff. His Cape Glide looks terrible tho lol.

Damn them for not adding Robin in the campaign. I like that he’s rocking Damian’s hood.

Again…this type of thing does not bother me much because I buy my games new.
But I can see this pissing some people off.

Sigh…I can see locking MP cool, fine, whatever. But, Singleplayer shit now too?

Yeah…the way she was promoted, I thought she would be unlocked by beating the game.
They state that this does not affect gameplay, but really…how far is this really going to go?

In all honesty if this shit keeps going games will just be $60 demos that you have to input a code to get the full game.

I’ve heard a bunch of devs are debating whether or not to lock away the endings of games with the same “Redeemable Voucher” system in place now for multiplayer in most EA games.

Now that would be a fucking nightmare.

Thank god im probably done with console gaming after this generation, and just moving to pc. Shits getting too ridiculous for me.

If they went that far…I would most likely NEVER support that game.

I remember the true ending of the Prince of Persia reboot was only accessible if you purchase the DLC. I really don’t want stuff like that being the norm

When I heard that Catwoman was DLC, I halted on reserving the game. Still up in the air about it, because I don’t like this whole movement. Regardless whether the game rocks or not, I don’t want to support this new trend.

It was full of shit, but they could get away with DLC after release. Now these titles have PLANNED DLC before game even drops. It’s so stupid. We as consumers have to actually buy costumes and shit. Remember the old superhero games, like that Spiderman on PS1/N64(the one with Carnage Doc Ock)? That game gave you outfits through traditional means, either via unlock or cheats.

Sigh…still undecided. I know game is going to be good. But I’m trying to stand firm on my conviction. I want to just go ahead and preorder from Best Buy and get Robin. But I know it’ll prob take footage of Nightwing doing some boss shit to push me over the edge.
