Yeah, that's right around the halfway point or so.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I just finished it today. I didn't have an issue with the last boss especially since I saw an episode of "The Batman" where the same thing happened.

I'm still trying to learn how to fight without losing rhythm in the challenges and it's not easy.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I love how one of the guys at Rocksteady said "We are thinking of doing a sequel, but we want to see if people like this one first"

Fuck yeah people like it, get to work on that damn sequel :P

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I got this game yesterday and I'm loving it. I love the little touch like when Batman get into many fights in the game his costume show some wear and tear.

I laugh when the Joker spoke into the PA system.

Yeah no shit. One thing that I love is how so many are reporting that they can't stop playing it. I know I have several 3+ hours days with this game.

So how many years now have you been waiting for a decent DC game Robo?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

seeing as VGchartz is claiming the game almost broke 1 million copies its first week alone, I think we are going to see a sequel VERY soon.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

It also happens to be the best selling game still at amazon for the PS3, and third for the 360 (behind Halo ODST which will probably sell 3 million copies its first week, and Rock Band Beatles)...

This game could sell over 4 million copies by the end of Christmas....

Not too soon. Don't get me wrong, I want the next game tomorrow, but I want them to take their time and keep the quality high.

I'm still tripping out that a triple A Batman game exists! What world is this I'm living on?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Dammit! I'm just missing 2 Joker's Teeth from the Arkham Mansion. How can get them to spawn?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

It seems like tons of people miss the teeth above the warden's office in the mansion. Have you tried looking there?

I got all but one set of teeth on my normal playthrough. The only one I missed was one just walking around in the open in medical. I didn't even realize I needed to destroy all of them, it was just my OCD while playing games that I have sometimes, like destroying almost all of the bushes and rocks in Zelda games and stuff like that.

Sorta off topic, but here I go anyway. Since Uncharted 2 is coming out soon I'm finally playing through the original Uncharted (it's AWESOME, like most of you know already). The thing is, I find myself trying to turn on Batman's detective mode and trying to scan interesting looking items, not to mention other Batman related actions.

I was missing one from the hospital. Just went room to room, listening for the laugh, until I heard it. Didn't take too long.

Spoiler:
There is an opening in the roof of the Warden's office that leads to a second floor where the missing teeth may be.

One cheap thing I figured out is that if I retreated to the airvent and backtracked, the game would save, and then I could restart if I died with however many thugs I'd taken down already out.

Once I figured that out, though, I only died once after that. I just kept waiting for one person to get close enough to the vent for me to kick him down, then I'd retreat and wait a while. I did this until I was down to three guys, and then I just went through and knocked 'em off one by one. The sonic batarang came in pretty handy there too so I could set a trap.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Now that I realize that the challenge maps are not TIME based but you have to do certain things, how do you know what you need to do?? The descriptions are vague to me. Am I missing something or is everyone just using gamefaqs?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

I think if you pause the challenge map, you can see what you need to do for each of those tasks.

but you're missing all the fun of being Batman. Isolating bad guys, knocking them out with explosions as they walk by, smacking one guy with a batarang, then taking out his partner, doing upside down silent takedowns, and etc.

Did anyone notice that later in the game the bad guys start
Spoiler:
dodging the batarangs?

No, because by that point I had the remote controlled batarang!

Press the select button to see your objectives. I'm pretty sure it even tells you to do so.

I haven't snagged that upgrade yet. How useful are those? From reading the little blurb it just didn't seem that helpful.

Also, could someone give me an idea how close i am to the end? I don't want it to end.

Spoiler:
I just spoke with Ivy and she told me to go find Croc for some spores or somesuch


Also, i am missing a ton of riddles. I need to go back and find ones to unlock more Predator challenge maps. Those are the maps i like to play.
