we shd just rent it, I guess, but I've never rented a game in my life

I finally finished. Should I work on finishing all the riddler stuff? I do love achievement points...

riddler shit is rad imo
― Lamp, Friday, 13 November 2009 06:57 (fourteen years ago) link
lol, yeah. Just finished it. The ending to the collection stuff is pretty cool. Now I just need 3 medals on every challenge stage... (I may not get perfect knight.)
― Mordy, Friday, 13 November 2009 08:24 (fourteen years ago) link
(xpost) likewise, I've never rented a game either. Sounds like it would take a lot of effort. Batman was £27 on play.com about a week ago, but that's the only time I've seen it under £30. I need something drastic to happen so I can stay under my £20 rule. I'm sure Play will stick it on £17.99 within the next couple of months....

£27 is a good price, considering people pay £10 for 2 hours of entertainment at the Cinema.
I'd buy it for £27 and hope to trade it in for £10, thus costing you £17.
Its a fun game, and I'm not sure it'll hit under £20 till next summer.

I also have a spare US special edition for cheaps if any britishers are interested. (unwanted prize)

Why you always gotta make me feel inadequate, Mordy?
― Leee, Friday, 13 November 2009 23:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I got 3 medals on one of the combat challenges, but the others are brutal. The prowler stuff is much easier.

I feel so small right now.

Finished it last knight(!), and my one tip is when you are fighting both Titans & normal guys, ignore the normal guys and just concentrate on running away from the titans and then getting them to charge through the crowd of normal guys. and when you are on the Titans back, use that to plough into the normal guys.
the End battle wasn't great but I hate to get stuck on the end of game boss for weeks so the straightforward fight was actually quite welcome.
Overall I think it was worth the hype and need to knuckle down and get the challenge trophies.

£17.99 delivered on gamestation.co.uk... not worth trying to figure out how to rent when you can get it that cheap!

Arkham Asylum sequel confirmed, video doesn't give much away but will totally be looking forward to this.
Arkham Has Moved

Wait are they really calling it Arkham Asylum 2? Why not make another Batman game with a new location?
― abanana, Monday, 14 December 2009 13:47 (fourteen years ago) link
It doesn't have a title yet, people are just calling it AA2 for now. Judging by the video they are moving the action to Gotham itself, at least certain parts of it.
― same dog, different leg action (Mr Raif), Monday, 14 December 2009 13:53 (fourteen years ago) link
So Dini, Conroy, Hamill (if Joker's in it) are involved?
― Leee, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link
arkham asylum 2 is an anagram of mark hamill is in it

ok wow. what a great game - just finished it, and it is prob going to get my #1 spot for the year.

I just finished this too (well, the main story), on Monday night. Really is a great game, and I still have lots of the challenges to do before I consider it 'finished' proper. The final battle left me a little bitter, as it was a bit rubbish though (I generally hate boss battles anyway).
Unless my two 3-hour train journeys this weekend get me deep into Zelda I reckon it could be the only contender for the top spot for me.
― CraigG, Friday, 8 January 2010 17:26 (fourteen years ago) link
in the week since finishing it, this really slid down the scale for me - partially because i am not getting into the challenges really, and partially because i have like zero interest in replaying the main game, which is a problem

Finally got round to ordering this - £17.99 at play.com. I'm aiming to hoover up a good <£20 game at least once a month this year to avoid my PS3 becoming a stupidly expensive DVD player.
Status: awaiting stock
bastards :(

Still waiting. Fuck a play.com.
― inoffensive alterna-poppage (onimo), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 16:56 (fourteen years ago) link
That's play.com all over these days. I had "awaiting stock" on three different items for 6 weeks each in the run up to christmas, before I cancelled them all and went to HMV instead.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
also, is it cheating to play the whole game in detective mode?
no but i found i switched between both cuz it's sort of easier to take in the geography with it off

I have gotten to Bane. Holy shit this game is fantastic. The Scarecrow level was like OMG

i beat it well before finishing coint and plick. It's a winner alright. Finished with the full riddle and greatest detective achievement; still sorta tempted to go for perfect knight.
― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 21 February 2010 05:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Trying to get all the combat challenges but then gave up because I realised only 15 year olds have the time and skill to get 50000 on any of the levels.
I was once that 15 year old but many moons have passed since then.

finally picked this up for cheapish over the weekend and yes it owns sensationally. definitely would have placed over Uncharted 2 in my C&P ballot, although I guess I haven't gotten to the alleged most infuriating sections yet. I did get stuck for an embarrassingly long time on the first Riddler challenge though.
― /no cobo (jamescobo), Monday, 22 February 2010 17:56 (fourteen years ago) link
being in detective mode is not very conducive to solving the first Riddler challenge, tbf
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Monday, 22 February 2010 18:01 (fourteen years ago) link
I have actually been trying to resist detective mode as much as possible since it does seem slightly game-breaking (although IRL Batman would probably have detective mode on constantly for that very reason).

Are there notable differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of this? I've been waiting ages for the PS3 one and now the 360 one's going cheap and is in stock.
― stop me if you think that you've heard this (onimo), Monday, 22 February 2010 21:10 (fourteen years ago) link
PS3 version has levels where you can play as the joker i think?
