Batman: Arkham Asylum

[jenz]

too bad my laptop can't run this in high resolution. oh well, still a badass game.

[Lean]

That's already fascinating if you do run this game on a laptop.

Finished it yesterday. Titan-powered Joker kicks ass.

[Lean]

I kinda sucked the first time I played that final boss. Didn't know I have to use the Batclaw on him when he turns around WITHOUT any of his thugs.

[jenz]

yep..also had difficulty in that last one. the robotic bombs kept on exploding in my face everytime i do that. also just finished the game.

Finally got this from Gamefly. Turned it on a few minutes ago. When will the game actually start?

[Lean]

Same case with a friend who bought the game. His was maxed out, and set it on a lower brightness setting, and was still facing the monitor after the first cinematic that I have to tell him: "Dude, the game just started."

You have to walk with Joker and the guards to the holding cells, and all the fun begins after the Gordon cinematic.

[Lamrock]

Meh, I don't know. About an hour in its been a slow-paced tutorial. Will play some more later to see if it ramps up.

Just played this game for like 20 minutes and love it so much. I don't know if I have time to play games right now but this one will keep me awake at night. New Resident Evil is also awesome. Just too many good games lately... This isn't good... Not good at all...

[Lean]

You'll end up finishing the story mode in no time. The exact same thing happened to me.

Anyways I've completed the Riddler's challenges, and it's always funny to hear comments from him through the cowl: "You're cheating! You looked it up on the internet!"

And the spirit of Arkham, too. Creepy.

[Lamrock]

Game has gotten significantly better, though the game froze after a particularly difficult battle and that has shot my motivation for now.

[el badman]

Just finished the game, only at 78% overall. I know I can keep playing to solve the last riddles if I want, but I'd rather just start a new one and take more time doing it now.
Great game overall, but the "boss" fights did feel a little bit like a letdown. Very repetitive, some of them very frustrating. But still, that shouldn't overshadow what Rocksteady has done, that was tons of fun.

[Lean]

Felt the same way too with the Titan-powered thugs. And I was expecting a boss fight too with Harley.

[Angelo]

It was too easy for me to beat Poison Ivy and Joker in Normal Mode i think i gotta try out the Hard Mode Next btw i finished the game at 61% Overall

[Lean]

I'm loving the predator challenges.

[Lean]

There is a sequel folks:

Debut Trailer on the Video Game Awards

Seems like the game is on Gotham now.

[Angelo]

That would certainly kick ass once it comes out btw Lean when is the expected release?

[benji]

TBA.

[Lean]

Makes me want to play AA again.

[kibaxx7]

Makes me want to play AA again.

Me too... but I'm too busy with school and 2k10

[jenz]

i hope it'll be released next year. i will be waiting for that, along with diablo 3 (hoping, too) for next year.

Nope, in a press conference Blizzard delayed Diablo 3 for 2011.

[jenz]

that's sad. two more years then..

[el badman]

It looks like Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 was also postponed til early 2011, even though it was initially announced for the end of this year. Good news is it's still Rocksteady that will develop it.
