Posted December 20, 2012 Bagged this for £23.95 yesterday on Amazon. Only having Nintendo Land and Nano Assault to cover the arcade side of things, I was missing something like this to get stuck into and balance the system out. Hope it gets here before Chistmas. By the by, I read HMV are paying £35 trade in for this. Take that with a pinch of salt. Now £19.99 @ base.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2012 Wow, prices are falling fast. I might have jumped on this but I've already got the GOTY version for the old Xbox 360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2012 I never knew the controls on this game were so convoluted. There's like, 1000 moves and combinations to memorise. It isn't for the feint hearted. I am liking it so far though and can see why it was game of the year. So much work and effort must have gone into it to recreate Gotham City in such scale and detail.

Posted January 7, 2013 l finished this as much as I'm going to over the weekend and I think I only had one instance of slowdown and that was during the Harley Quinn DLC story and I was playing at 1080p. But yeah, great game. Shame I didn't work out the proper battle mechanics until the very end :laughing. Really like having the map on the Gamepad, so much better than pausing all the time. Off screen play is great also, of course. Loads of content in there for people who want to play it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to have almost all the trophies and solved the riddles, so what the other 31% involves I'm not sure. I think I've rinsed it out quite badly now and even though there's plenty of little challenges and medals to win in the other modes I think I might see if HMV are still offering £35 trade-in!

Posted January 8, 2013 I got 71% after collecting all the trophies and completing all the side quests. Not sure if the Calendar Man stuff counts. The rest, I'm guessing, comes from the New Game Plus, which I can't really be bothered playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't discount New Game Plus, it's well worth another play through if only for... The much harder boss fight with Mr Freeze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) My copy arrived to day and those new amoured costumes are just terrible. Glad you can just input a code to use the DLC costumes. I have my console set to 720p and the framerate still isnt quite as solid as the 360 version but its fine. Still getting used to the controls at the moment, a little jarring having the analogue stick above the buttons, I keep trying to lower my thumb to adjust the camera when in battle. I love off tv play. I was cooking in the kitchen so I grabbed the pad and just played in there whilst waiting for my food to be done. edit - One other thing I dont like right now is having alfreds voice and others come through the gamepad. The sound quality isnt geat for that, I though my copy was fucking glitching at first as I had the volume down. I'll have to check the options to see if I can have those voices come through the TV.

Posted January 28, 2013 What with all this bargain hunting going on I feel I should point out that this is being released on the eshop this week for £49.99! Daft as a brush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 Bought this from TheHut at launch (for 40 quid), and it was the only thing that didn't arrive, got stopped at customs. They just gave me a refund and re-bought through The Base for 18.99 pounds, when I went to the checkout it showed up as 17.63 (well happy just saved a small fortune, under half the price of what I was willing to pay for it). Now I wait for delivery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 28, 2013 Great price for this! The Wii U is becoming the ultimate backlog gaming console! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2013 I haven't experienced any frame-rate issues and I've played through all of it. Just get it if you want it. I've had a few, mainly in more crowded fights and in some cutscenes. That was with my console set to 720p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2013 Loved this on the 360. Def thinking about getting it on the wii u. Playing it on the gamepad just sounds soooo good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 5, 2013 I got this yesterday, though only managed to get in 45 minutes or so. Having never played either of the Arkham games before, this feels very fresh to me. I'm impressed by the scope of the world, and gliding around it is lots of fun. I'm a bit overwhelmed by everything you can do already, though! So many moves and gadgets! Fighting feels a bit button-bashy, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 5, 2013 People who have never played Arkham City are insane if they don't buy this at £17.99. The game is incredible. I'm so tempted to buy it again on the wii u but just can't justify it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 5, 2013 Have to say for some reason the Arkham games don't really appeal to me either for some strange reason despite being aware of their great reputation! I think for some reason the brawling combat kind of puts me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ws in GAME on the weekend and they want £50 for this game. It's mental. They also want £40 for 3DS games. That shop operates on a different planet!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
