retroed Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yeah, I finished it a couple nights ago. Game of the year so far, for me. I traded it in earlier though, never went back for the remaining riddles or the challenge mode. I was satisfied with what I played and was happy to leave it at that. Awesome game.

RivaOni Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Haha! I think they'd have a problem if you grappling hooked them and sat on them. Then again, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Free Batman DLC dated, detailed Eidos has dated and detailed the Insane Night Map Pack for Batman: Arkham Asylum, following an announcement-spoil by the in-game news ticker last week.Due Thursday, the pack bundles two extra Challenge Maps and is free to download. All three versions - PC (out Friday), PS3 and Xbox 360 - receive the gift. Inside the Insane Night Map Pack are Totally Insane and Nocturnal Hunter scenarios. The first tests Batman's straight-up fighting ability, while the latter needs a stealthy, unseen approach. Bugger, Hinn already posted this in Download News. Oh well, free stuff is always worth mentioning twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 This game for me is how a game really should be made! its just superb, yes it has a couple of camera issues, and some of the levels re-invent themselves, the one was tough the second time round! trying not to give anything away, but im about 45% in according the game. For those that have completed it, is the percentage for the whole game?? or everything else, riddles and challenges etc... if not then bring on the other 65%!!

To 100% the whole game you have to have the game complete, all the riddles, spirit of Arkham and all the challenges need to be 3 starred on one save slot. Go Manicm!

Oliath Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 WOW!! So i dont really want to read through the entire thread because i am loving the story of this game and don't even want the smallest thing spoiled for me.... but wanted to post up some more love for this awesome title. After waiting a painful two days for this to finish downloading off Steam last week i finally got to play it and can't think of a single game i have enjoyed more. I love the intro.... the suspense.... it reminded me of the first time i ever played half life as you go through the science centre and just become absorbed in this world. The attention to detail is also outstanding. The sounds, animations, character design and progression. I absolutely love it. The challenges from the DLC are great fun too as a pick up and play. I think the only difference between the xbox and PC version is PhysX which causes the frame rate to slow down a bit here and there. It doesn't seem to add that much either other than paper flying around and the ground / walls smash up a bit when you slam someone into them. Seeing as a game like crackdown or even GTA allowed this type of environment interaction WITHOUT hammering the CPU's too much i think that the whole PhysX inclusion is utter bullshit and just a way for Nvidia to market their new graphics cards and that it really doesn't add anything to the game whatsoever. I really hope they include a few more bits of DLC even if they charge for it. I haven't finished this yet but i know that i would love to play a few more missions here and there in different settings. 10/10 game making though. I wish more titles would be presented in such high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 nothing new to add really just how much i fucking <3 this game. Might even be my fave game this generation. Will defiantly be purchasing my own copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 It is a bit good isn't it? How did this game happen? A dev with only one other game to its name manages to make a excellent looking game with varied and fluid gameplay and ties it up with a deep game world and fantastic voice work. I think some soul selling went one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Double gushing. I was aware that most people liked this and many picked it as their game of the year but I really didn't think I would end up loving this game as much as I do. I'm even playing it on hard and getting stuck occasionally but it isn't making me throw a strop and leaving it, I still can't put the pad down. I'm not gonna play demos as much now because there have been a few games where the demos have turned me away from a game that I was on the fence about, only to try the full game later down the line and it winning me over, stupid demos. I think I might need to reavaluate my games of the year, Batman is tickling those same senses as Brutal Legend and Mass Effect. Probably one of my games of the generation rather than just 2009.

Hendo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I'm glad you love it. I was wondering after all the praise everyone's given it, if someone coming to it now would find it over-hyped or something. Gonna have to make a second run through soon.

HandsomeDead Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I went through the thread and didn't notice the bit I'm stuck on. Can anyone remember after beating killer Croc how you get to the Bat Cave? The route I used the first time is blocked by Poison Ivy's trees and I can't find another route. And I liked the Killer Croc fight, it wasn't imaginative but I think it was as tense as it was ever going to be. Obvioulsy Scarecrow was awesome but I think it needed to be said again.

David Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 This game is fucking amazing! Having only played the demo until a few days ago, I was a bit wary of the hype, but having now played the full game, I can see where it came from! It's just so much fun, and the atmosphere it creates is amazing, Mark Hamill really is brilliant as the Joker. The combat system is great too, more based on timing than remembering stupid combos. What an amazing feeling you get when you're in full battle flow, and kicking the shit out of the enemies. Quality I think I'm about half way through it now, and I really, really don't want it to end... Like Ed earlier in the thread, it reminds me of Resident Evil 4 and Metroidvania, which is a VERY good thing. I think it's just the feeling of exploring the island and it's maps that make it feel like Resi 4, and exploring all the cubby holes and secret areas. So good.

HandsomeDead Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Done. Finished. Fiendish plan foiled. I'm not sure about the ending, the story was mostly pretty strong I thought but it gets a bit plot-holey. I still really enjoyed it though, I was actually really sad to see it finish which I don't think I've done before. Still, plenty of Riddler stuff to sort out. Can't wait for the next Batman game.
