ReZourceman Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Come on guys. Really. Does it have to be me? Fine. I'll be the first to say it. Harley Quinn needs some serious porking.
Happenstance Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Im just downloading the Joker DLC at the moment, I dont think I will be trying it or any of the challenge rooms though until I have completed the game. As for my progress, ive just taken down Harley.
Daft Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I've just got the Batclaw. The Scarecrow level was ace. The beginning of it was freaky.
Happenstance Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I've just got the Batclaw. The Scarecrow level was ace. Yeah the Scarecrow bits are awesome, did a great job of making it creepy, especially the more subtle bits when it starts happening and you havent realised yet.
Deathjam Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Wow you guys are far. Im just taking out thugs in the hospital.
Daft Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I've played about 3 and a half hours. Completed 50 riddles.
ViPeR Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Just got it today, i'm really liking it too. It's funny, despite combat being so easy it's not at all. It's actually quite hard to maintain a streak. I also like the way you have to assess the rooms and threats before going ahead.
flameboy Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Well can track my special edition via Parcelforce and it says; Status: In progress Parcel tracks Date Time Location Tracking Event 27-08-2009 18:37 National Hub Sorted in hub guess the whole special edition thing has slowed it down...
MATtheHAT Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Gonna go and get this tomorrow, might trade in my copy of Wolfenstein. As it is shit.
Shorty Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I started this, it's certainly fun although I'm still yet to feel that it's right up there with the likes of Bioshock and RE4. Comparisons to the former are clearly being drawn mostly from the voice acting and colour palette more than anything. I am optimistic now, however, that it is going to unfold into something at least in the rank of very good. Had it since I got home at 5.45 but only got a chance to play for about an hour! Will give it a good playthrough this weekend
LegoMan1031 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 This came this morning, played abit before going to work (just got back from work now to post this). Love it so far, i think its ace! In answer to your question flameboy: I have decided to play through on normal difficulty.
Happenstance Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I forgot to mention, the first time you get a 20 move combo you feel such a sense of acomplishment and it really did feel like you just took out a room full of guys with proper skill.
ReZourceman Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 WTF I'm still trying to rescue C.Gordon, but it says "return to sanatorium where the doctors are" but there aren't doctors there. Oh it says pick up the trail, but I can't find it. Where do I go.
flameboy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Well according to parcelforce my copy is on its way...this is bloody annoying need to go out to the shop quickly but can't risk it.... Anyway I didn't realise this; http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/08/27/gametrailers-shows-what-its-like-to-be-batmans-roommate-in-hom/ GameTrailers shows what it's like to be Batman's roommate in Home In short, being Batman's roommate is kind of a sucky gig. That's the feeling we came away with after watching GameTrailers' video preview (posted after the jump) of the Batcave Home space that's bundled with the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Seriously, he keeps all of his sweet toys in inaccessible display cases, he hangs all his vehicles precariously over the kitchen, and makes it so all the TVs in the place run footage of him beating up insane people. We don't know how Robin put up with it for as long as he did. Is this out here or just US? There is also a video at the link above...looks ok. I think I'd rather be playing the actual game when it arrives though, rather than shouting "AWESOMENESS" in the batcave.
Happenstance Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I was just thinking, if theres a sequel to this game it'd be pretty cool if its set either right after or within a few days and you find out that while you were dealing with Joker on Arkham, Two Face and the Penguin had the run of Gotham and you have to clean up their mess.
Daft Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I was thinking about what they'd do if they did a sequel. I'm just wondering where they would set it. The great thing about Arkham is that it's self contained.
flameboy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 how much harder does the combat get on normal? I mean as in compared to the demo, it seem quite well balance in that with the few enemies you had to fit...just still thinking of playing it on hard but don't wanna struggle through it 1st time, but also conscious its getting towards that time of year where releases go mental and I may not have time to play it again anytime soon... how much harder does the combat get on normal?

GRRR its still not here...it left the York depot at like 1 in the morning, cmon parcelforce get your finger out...
Daft Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 So far I ended up in a fight against 10 other people at one time. It's not tricky to get the hang of on normal but I'd say it was challenging enough to rack up combos. The more I get into it, the more I reckon I'm going to play it again. Anyone know if I can do it on the same file? I guess it's too early to ask.
MATtheHAT Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Just picked a copy up from GAME, gonna have a spot of lunch then get stuck in.....KA-POW.
flameboy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 My copy still isn't here...I'm beginning to think its not gonna show up... I can't even go out and pick up a copy from another shop then swap the sealed one out of the collectors edition and go and get a refund because apparently the one in the special edition is in a cardboard box.
Tellyn Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/952337-batman-arkham-asylum/index.html Officially the best game of all time.
Mundi Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Gotta love these bugs, so based on this Xbox 360 version all the way eh? Anyway, I am loving this game but my biggest annoyance is the lip sync. It´s not that great and it´s rather noticeable.
Deathjam Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 woop woop its arrived Congrats! Now be man and choose hard mode!
flameboy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Ok then! Are you on hard? Batman Arkham Asylum- BEST GAME EVER FACT! Cheers for link Tellyn, managed to quickly rustle up an article! Please comment on it and if your on N4G approve it for publication; http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-385416.aspx Just recorded a video for my blog unboxing the collectors edition, for now all I will say is angry. There are things missing from the lacklustre US 360 version. There have been unboxings that have been across the net of this, but the UK PS3 version is certainly worse...
