Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I'm pretty far in the game, just about to enter the final place, which puts me at what, around 80%-ish percent or so?
I have like, 215 or 217 of all the Riddler things, and I'm probably going to go into all the different buildings and work on collecting the ones I'm missing before I head to what seems to be the final stage of the game.
Best game I've played in a long time.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
Isn't it kind of BS that only gold members get the dlc. I mean I'm sure silver will get it next week, but it kind of seems like gold is paying for the privilege to get the dlc early. While on ps3 all users get it right away. BTW I am a gold member, I just think it's bad business by Microsoft.

I'm gold, but I do think it's kind of BS, just because this is DLC for a game people went and purchased for $60. These aren't the folks Microsoft should be punishing. Holding back demos and such makes sense, since that is all incentive stuff, but I bet they don't hold back the ability to buy arcade games.

The deals of the week are Gold only. It's common practice to hold back free content from non-paying members. Like a demo, this is also an incentive if it's not available to everyone.

Plus seriously it equates to 0.05% of the game. I've never understood why people bitch about not being able to have access to alternate costumes and things of that nature when you still have the entire game to play.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I guess I just don't see how this should be an incentive, since a person already bought the game the free DLC is for. They'll get it next week or whatever, so no real big issue, it just seems a little crappy to me. I could see withholding this if Microsoft commissioned and paid for this pack, though.
A lot of the incentives for Gold members make total sense to me, deals of the week, demos, exclusive free themes and such (if they do this), but this I don't agree with.

Thanks. Went and queued it up for when I get home.
I'm so glad they included Challenges with this game. I love seeing Batman sneaking around, cracking heads, and kicking assess.

^ This is available for free on PSN as well, is that right? Is it only for a limited time? Haven't logged onto PSN in a while and don't want to miss out on it.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
It should be included in the store update when it goes live this evening. There hasn't been any word on it being a limited time offer.

I dig the new predator area. I hope, if they continue to release these, they get crazier with the stuff in the environment. I want a predator map with tons of breakable walls. I really am surprised that combat, by itself, remains fun in this game. It's so simple, but I do enjoy it so. The grapple take-downs are ridiculously satisfying.

I'm messing with the challenge mode now, but damn I suck. I got lucky getting 6000 on the first level. I don't know how anyone is able to score so much and get those huge combos. My longest was, I think, 14.
I was just reminded of something.

I made it onto the Top 30 Leaderboard for the Nocturnal Hunter (Insane Pack Predator Challenge). #27, at least for now. I'm surprised.
EDIT: #12 now. These Predator Challenges are even better than the game. I could play these all the time.
The person ranked #1 did it in 58 seconds. I don't even see how that is possible.

Insane Night Map Pack is awesome.

When I just took them out as fast as I could, that time did not show up on the leaderboard (it was faster than my best).

Just got the game yesterday and was up till late last night playing. Didn't come close to finishing, but this is probably one of the best Batman stories I've ever seen and one of the best games I've ever played. I admire them for getting the best of all worlds (the comic back story and the voice actors from the cartoon) to make this work.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
Well I don't know, maybe I'm confused. Because I saw my score up there and again, it was for a challenge where I didn't do all the required moves. I thought it was odd that they still put it on the board.
