Video Games Batman Arkham City rocks - Page 4

Got an early copy. It's really sweet. Only game I've really felt like playing in a long time. Think I'm growing out of them. Never thought that could happen, but it is what it is.

HUGE Batman fanboy here (probably have 300 "Batman" comics - product of a mis-spent youth), and I always enjoyed the Mad Hatter story lines as well.

Always felt like Ra's al Ghul and Hugo Strange were underrated villians as well.

I just finished the forest area, beat the wolf and fairy bosses and now I'm in the catacombs. I'm probably only half way through, but I want to finish this game before I start a new one, it's great.

I'm with you there -- I'm dying to pickup batman but can't do it til I'm finished with Dark Souls.
I'm stuck in Tomb of Giants and have considered, multiple times, putting it down and giving up... but that's sorta the thrill of this game: getting beat up, taking a break, and coming back and clearing the area while a feeling of accomplishment washes over you in an awesome wave.

I'm kinda "meh" on Ra's al Ghul, but Hugo Strange has always been cool to me. I kinda like all the villains though. They're all unique.

One of the coolest aspects I've found playing so far is just listening to all the mundane conversations you can pick on and listen to as you go through AC...hearing the thugs and inmates converse about the super villains is awesome.

It's little stuff like that which makes this game a great experience because all the core stuff is top notch.

Wow... this is pure sex

**Bowser** · 10-19-2011, 01:49 PM

Just picked up AA from Walmart for PS3. It came with Arkham Asylum GOTY edition.. Very cool.
Not sure if the same deal is for 360 or not.

Which one to buy? I'm a tight ass I will only buy one at full price.

crispystl · 10-19-2011, 04:26 PM

I guess it will be battlefield since the other games are single player and I won't have to worry about getting behind on the learning curve.

If you're patient enough I'd wait for the "Game of the Year" edition for Arkham City. That is, if you don't need it now like I did. There's so much future DLC and pre-order exclusive content, it would be really nice to get everything in one bundle. Might be a year or so. Not really sure how long it takes for the GOTY editions.

If u could only buy one of the three, I'm going to say save money until 11-11-11.
3 totally different games though...

I dunno I'm thinking COD burnt me for the last damn time with Black Ops. I'll probably give in and buy the damn thing though.

Walmart has both of them packaged as one game right now for $60. Or K-Mart has a $30 gc for a future game with the purchase of Arkham City.
