Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I just started playing this game two days ago. I don't think I'm very far yet, as I've only fought 2 or 3 main villains.

I regret buying the Collector's Edition, though. I thought the batarang would be bad-ass...

Now to dive into that.
Good luck with that.. the extreme ones are hard as fuck.

Well played, Rocksteady.

I also thought of Eternal Darkness, but they put enough hints in there that it's not a glitch that I caught on real quick.

DO NOT read unless you have finished the game. You have been warned.

Thing is, I actually had the game crash on me twice by that point. So when the screen started pixelating out I started to get up to flip it off. That was until I saw the joker driving the batmobile. That was the coolest scene in the entire game IMO

I actually caught on when I saw the Bat Signal turned upside down to form the mouth of Scarecrow.

After The Joker shot me, I got a message saying I could avoid the gunshot by using the right analog stick to move my head. Did anyone try this, and if so, what happens?

Actually it told you to move the middle stick, which confused me at first because there is no middle stick. I think it was all part of the Joke.

Use the jump/evade button if you've knocked a guy down and there isn't another close you to strike to stay in perpetual motion until you're close to another guy.

If you're hitting a guy or doing the jump/evade maneuver constantly, your combo won't break and you'll get buttloads of points just as long as you don't stop striking, cape stunning or jump/evading (and not getting hit helps as well for the Dark Knight bonus). Varying your attacks (i.e. batarang, cape stun) will also give a decent end round bonus.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

This game is pretty much perfect for me. Quick question: how many of Batman's rogues have those therapy session tapes? At first I thought it was only the Riddler, but now I've run across tapes for Joker and Croc too! I LOVE these things! Normally, I'm not much for "exploring" game worlds, I normally don't give a shit, but this game has me combing over every knock and cranny.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

All of the "main" villains with major roles in the game have the session tapes scattered around. In addition to Joker, HQ, Croc, Riddler, and Scarecrow there are also tapes for Poison Ivy and Mr. Zsasz as well.

I love the "failure screens" when you play as Joker.

They certainly weren't kidding when they said that the Joker challenge levels force you to play entirely differently than you do with Batman.

I wants those so bad. I hope it becomes 360 DLC. Otherwise I might have to rebuy this game if and when I get a new cheaper PS3. About the failure screens, I find myself dying on purpose once or twice when I face a boss to see what they do.

And I agree with your spoiler comment.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I went back a few pages and did not see this mentioned so here is what I learned yesterday at our Gamestop conference about the game:

-The Joker will NEVER be on 360
-New 360/PS3 challenge map on Sept. 17th for FREE!
-New PS3 challenge map on Sept. 24th for Free.
-Yes, there will be a sequel and 'no comment" with a smile on Robin...

I wonder if these will count towards the 24 medal and 100% achievements.

fixed and I hope they count towards medals....

Sorry but I don't recall the names of the map...the first one has "Night" in it though...not "Knight" which I found odd.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

One thing that has consistently made me chuckle while playing this game is that you seem to move faster while crouching/sneaking than you do while upright walk mode. So when I play, I'm in a perpetual crouch.

Also - I ed at the
