Looks really good. Can't wait for more of this game!!

Story-based Robin gameplay? Hell yes!

Finally got around to watching those Easter eggs. Pretty cool of Rocksteady to pay attention to little details like that.

It's nice to see a full on addon and not just more stupid challenge maps. I will definitely purchase this.

I would have preferred Nightwing, but I'll take Robin.

Yep. I'm probably going to end up playing this game again when the GOTY edition comes out. Hope it's priced at $40.

Mixed reviews on the Harley Quinn DLC. Although IGN gave it a 9, others gave 6's

I finished it up in a couple hours. Not a bad add on but it leaves me wanting more now. I think the only thing I wish is that we could use Robin to explore around Arkham City and stuff too but unfortunately he's restricted to the areas where the story takes place. I'd say it's worth it if you're a fan of the game.

I was at Walmart yesterday and noticed that the GOTY comes with a free Gotham City Impostors download. I'm pretty sure it said it was a Walmart exclusive.

Yeah, that would be cool. I would be perfectly cool if the dev team took a Burnout Paradise mood to the next game, and gave us a fully realized Gotham (ala GTA V's liberty city), and then just gave us tons of DLC for that world. One big game, and then a gaggle of 2 to 4 hour micro-missions to ride out the rest of this console cycle.

It was rather "blah". I expected more.

By the way, is the normal or did I do something wrong?

I already have arkham city but I wouldn't mind having the new dlc or the dlc for gotham city imposters so I am thinking about getting this and selling my arkham city. Minus the 25 for both of those plus the 10 i can probably get for arkham city that is like 15 bucks for the goty with other dlc

Huh?

Please explain your ending. Mine was rather conventional and disappointing.

In mine

How did yours end?

I thought that Joker picture meant it had something to do with the game... but I guess not.

I was also wondering how that relates to videogames, but since I haven't yet finished Arkham City I thought maybe I was missing the reference.

Sorry. That was meant for elsewhere. I'll edit that post.

Well, after Lego Batman 2 and TDKR coming out, it just served as a reminder to me that I never finished Arkham City and I probably should. So last week I dusted off the box and put it in and played it over the past few days to the end of the story and a little more. -- It's a better game than I initially gave it credit for. I think I was overwhelmed with the size of the environment and felt the enemies were too repetitive. Maybe somehow it felt like a bit of a disappointment after Arkham Asylum. Honestly I can't remember why I stopped playing it some eight or nine months ago( on my way back to Freeze's lab).

Whatever, I really enjoyed the rest of it and found that whatever concerns I had about the controls and gadgets being overwhelming was unfounded. And the new mechanic of saving Riddler's men until the end to interrogate them for Riddler trophy information was absolutely brilliant.

I was having the hardest time with the snipers outside the theater -- I couldn't take one out without the rest noticing. It took me so many tries before I realized what I was doing wrong : I was using the Knockout Smash with every Silent Takedown as I was prompted to on-screen, and had been doing so the whole game! When I finally figured out that if I didn't press X after doing the Takedown with Y, I could stay silent, it was a breeze!


Anyway, I judged this game too harshly before and I really enjoyed finishing it up. It was extremely well done and well-acted. Hope there's a third one with the same cast in the works.

Glad you like it now. That reminds me, I need to do the Riddler challenges. Grrr.

Saving Riddler's men for the end? Hmmm, I just started doing that and I'm NOWHERE near finishing this game. I must've stumbled upon this.

I hope I end up like you because right now I'm HATING this game big time. I just feel lost in this turd filled sandbox.

I meant a new mechanic as opposed to Arkham Asylum where you just found maps laying around. It did take me a long time to get to solving some of the Riddler challenges because it took me a while to stumble into the church and have that first confrontation with the Riddler.

Well, I never hated it, I was just a little disappointed and frustrated. I think it's the first "Open World" game where you can't really ride around or even walk around the city and that makes it pretty confusing. Especially with all of Arkham looking sort of the same; there are few landmarks and despite the helpful waypoints, it's easy to be confused about where you are in relation to buildings you need to go to. After a while things began to click, but overall I still prefer the claustrophobic feel of Arkham Asylum, combined with the "Metroidvania" gameplay mechanic of returning to places you previously couldn't access now that you had picked up a new gadget.

Though I do appreciate that you start the sequel with everything you picked up in the previous game. That was pretty useful.

You need some specific gadgets to get some riddles. And you get that gadget until later in the game.

I'm playing the game again, the PC (Steam) version. Today I'm having the worst PC experience in a long time, crashing everywhere . The game was flawless until then, but I'm only 8% complete. I've tried some things, read some forums, but it seems the latest patch is the one that causes most of these problems.

And yeah, already played the Xbox 360 version and got most of the achievements (regular game, no DLC).

FINALLY getting somewhere in this game so I'm starting to hate it less...

Thank god for Google where I could ask, "How do I get into X building?"

I know, right? How many buildings did they build in Arkham City without a fucking front door?

Batman's not a front door kind of guy if ya know what I mean.
