I bought the Collector's Edition today and playing the game now. It is so freaking sweet!

Note - The Batarang is supposed to be scratched up. Also my game manuals are outside of the box too.

Now that I made up my mind for the CE it's sold out everywhere or only available for out-of-this-world high prices, meh that's what I get for being so undecisive.

that's what happened to me for Street Fighter 4 CE. If you have the cash to spare, you should always buy the Collector's Edition but don't open it. Decide your mind if you really want it or not, and if not then sell it since usually someone is willing to pay for a higher price if the product is out of stock.

YeaAaa glad they're making another Batman Arkham Asylum!!! I just finished it like two weeks ago lol.

THUNDERDUCK · « **Reply #29 on:** January 02, 2010, 02:53:43 AM »

I am the World's Greatest Detective, or so the achievement says.

coachie · « **Reply #30 on:** January 03, 2010, 03:51:39 PM »

Yay, finished it today (storymode only)
I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to the sequel. AA is such a great game, I fear they might screw up in part two introducing new, innovative ideas for the gameplay or stuff like that.
Well, let's hope for the best.

I love this game, I must say

After I was playing the demo I thought completing these combat challenges and even the main game itself would be easy. But that's not the case it seems. I either mistime my counters or don't react fast enough to keep the combo flowing. Which I like, the challenges should be hard like that, and the combat system is much more refined than I thought. So smooth too, the transition from punching to countering to throwing a quick batarang is practically seemless.

Great game so far, tons of atmosphere, liking the Riddler challenges too. I keep wondering what the riddles would sound like if Christian Bale's Batman said them. "Tweedledum SAW it, can you SEE it?"

How do you unlock more challenges? Is it as the story progresses or do you have to collect particular Riddler trophies or find a number of them?

DHG · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:26:06 AM »

The more Riddle's you solve the more challenges you get. Though Story Progression is also needed as some of the areas in those challenges you must have been to that area in the story I assuming. I can't wait for the 2nd game.

Tuffty · « **Reply #34 on:** March 04, 2010, 08:49:25 PM »

Well I got over 10% of the challenges so far so I would have thought they would have given me a new one by now. Must need to progress further into the story.

Gotta say, when you try to rescue the doctors, I planted two explosive gels, one right behind a guard, the other on a raised platform. I made an inverted takedown on one guy, waited til a mate of his ran up to see what's wrong when what do you know, walks right over my explosive gel. Detonate it, taking out him and the other guard I had planted the other gel to and finished off the remaining two, by glide kicking onto one and straight up beating the crap out of the other. At that moment, I was Batman, and it was awesome

Tuffty · « **Reply #35 on:** May 30, 2010, 11:05:06 PM »

Just finished it! It was awesome!!

Massively impressive game, the way they kept introducing new gadgets, the number of 'Holy shit how amazing is that?!' moments, combat, stealth. Loved it. Really looking forward to the sequel.

And I cleared the first playthrough getting all 240 riddles, plus the Arkham diaries, all without using the internet (despite what the Riddler thinks

). It was a game that was paced really well, you could just follow the story or decide to chill out and collect the trophies and audio logs. Hope they do the same for the next game.

Though the completionist in me doesn't want to stop. Want to do it again on Hard mode (just not right now), pick up a few achievements attached to the story that I missed and get full medals for all the challenges, preferably without video walkthroughs.

Arkham Asylum 2 now titled, Arkham City

Quote from: Press Release

"Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security 'home' for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.

"Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight."

Hells yeh.

I just jizz my pants expect nothing but greatness.

coachie · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2010, 02:50:24 PM »

can't wait

release is set for late 2011 so lots of time for the folks working on this game to make it as super dope or even better than the first!

what I want in this game:
- more gadgets
- more stealth
- more kickass villians(sp?)

what I don't want:
- GoW like fighting controls

i liked the fighting the way it was, simple and smooth, but I heard a lot of ppl complained about it for being too simple
