Kain Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Am I the only person that thinks the avatars are just a ****ing retarted idea as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 im not gonna lie i actually like the avatars really. theres no real use for them right now. but the using them in avatar games is cool plus Guitar Hero 5 support for avvies....i love it LoL. and XBL is releasing "Joy Ride" which looks to me like the 360s version of PS3s "Mod Nation Racing" which is also an avatar game.

BongoBob Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I like the Avatar's as a fun little nocost frill. It's there for fun. However, when they start charging half the price of a piece of DLC for a game for clothing for em, that's where I draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 well heres another vid of the final room doing some silent takedowns. i am shooting for hanging them all on the gargoyles. i should have it done tonight.

Jeff Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I just played a bit of the Steam demo yesterday. Definitely impressive, while I don't think I'll be getting the game on release, I'd consider it once a price drop hits. Only reason is because there is so much on my want list already. I also don't like the model for Batman. He is too f**king huge. His gauntlets are bigger than Chris Redfield's biceps which are already gigantic. His awesome voice makes up for it though, <3 Kevin Conroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The first time playing through the demo, I mistook Comissioner Gordon for Chris Redfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAve Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 All I know is I'm glad I decided not to spend $600 to go to Disney this December, subsiquently missing out on Christmas, because this is now on top of my Christmas list. This game looks fantastic, I really want to get ahold of that demo now. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 i too will admit that it looks like everyones been hitting the gym right before this game. IMO i would say bats is excusable because they lead you to believe that suit is somewhat reinforced which can kinda explain the bulk but otherwise they've been hitting up the roids.

Sabretooth Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just finished the demo and I really love what they did with the Freeflow combat, animations and camera. Combat is very intuitive and great to look at, though the novelty faded by the 3rd encounter or so. I wouldn't place it on my Top 5 looked-forward-to games, but it's definitely a title worth its salt. Besides, it ran slowish on my PC (albeit I liked how they've smoothened the lag so that it feels more like being in slow motion than a jittery slideshow).

jon_hill987 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I ordered the CE for PC in the end. The Batarang will look good on my shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/08/21/batman-arkham-asylum-review/ Hopefully this is a trustworthy review (cause if it is then I know the game will be good ).

GeneralPloKoon Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Looks like quite a good game! Maybe ill get it one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i played a demo at gamestop and it's very fun. My only concern is how long it'll take to beat the story mode. it seems to go pretty quickly, going from one place to another. does anyone know how long it'll take to beat the game?

MrWally Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well it definitely seems like they'll have enough villains to make it last. That's something, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 yeah the fact that this game is based loosely around the Arkham novels is what sold me on it in the beginning. having played the full version already i can definitely say that this game if you're a fan is worth the money. but if you're just looking for a new game to hold you over its great as well but not for the $60 tag.

Darth Groovy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Having spent some recent quality time on the demo, I both love it and hate it at the same time. I LOVE how it gets you hooked on the bios that you collect on random comic characters in the game, but I HATE how it forces you to think about how to dodge bullets. Batman facing armed people in this game is absolutely defenseless and you will die quick if you can't find a way out of the situation. I have not been able to beet the demo, so I can tell already that this is a game that is going to frustrate me a lot. I will say this though...for a Batman game.... the developers did their homework on this one big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_hill987 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have not been able to beat the demo Were you playing a different demo from me? If you do it right no one should ever even shoot at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I have heard a rumour that the Batarang in the CE is a just piece of plastic that is locked to the stand. Anyone else heard this, or unpacked their PS3/XBox version already? If it is true I am cancelling my pre-order. EDIT: I found this. I was unsure about getting the CE before so I think I am going to cancel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm too lazy to type up something original so I'll just quote a post I made about the game from my own forum Played the demo just then. Very nice. Love the combat and love the detective mode... reminded me a lot of Metroid Prime lol. It's nice how the demo was laid out, by the time you get to the last part of the demo you've learnt all you need to learn for that area and you can just let loose. On the last part I was stealth diving on enemies and punching ones that came close and then grappling myself back up to the gargoyles before they noticed I was even there. Very cool once you get your movements down and it feels just like how you would see it in all of the various batman media. It's coming out on Thursday down here... If I can find it cheaper than full price, I'll try and get it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 As mentioned, the fact that the TAS voices came back to do this is fantastic. However, I don't like the art style. As usual, they went with the "lets make it all dark and gritty and stuff RRRRRR!" look, and as a result, the characters have no nuance, and the amazing voices don't go with the visuals at all. It's like the newer, uglier characters are channeling the disembodied spirits of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Arleen Sorkin in order to talk. And really, should Harley Quinn ever look like this: ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
