Everyone lamenting the multiplayer is full of shit - you're still gonna at least try the game out, so ignore the multiplayer aspect and get excited. This looks sicknasty.

 

All of you multiplayer haters can relax.

 

I still think some kind of co-op with Batman and Robin/Nightwing/Catwoman/Batgirl/Huntress would be pretty cool. But maybe it's better this way.

 

I am simply boggled:

Companies still care about the games? I thought it was all profit. Good to know some still have integrity.

 

Delivering multiplayer-only or singleplayer-only is cheaper than doing both, so it's not all righteousness and integrity.

 

Don't worry, what they mean is they'll release a 15$ DLC pack for it to enable multiplayer, which will download instantly, because it turns out all the content is already on the disc.

 

Bump for gameplay trailer. Don't know about you guys, but I like the look of it :awesome

 

Bump (again) for Catwoman gameplay trailer.

 

Robin to be in Arkham City.



Well they had to fuck up on something.

EDIT: To provide more info:

That's supposed to be Tim Drake... with a "generic action hero" shaved head, heavy musculature (Tim's pretty scrawny-looking) and an introverted and angry personality that's apparently been based on cage fighters or some shit (which sounds much more like Jason Todd than Tim Drake).

I don't mind the look on it's own. I like the hood in particular. Frankly I think all Robin designs should have a hood like that (Damian Wayne is the one who has it in the comics). But making this Tim Drake? No. Make him an updated/alternate Jason Todd and I'd be happy.

 

Amendment to above. Robin to appear in pre-order only challenge maps. So you can easily ignore his existence if you prefer.

 

Right, forgot that. Should have just given a link. -_-

Still, a lot of people think that if they're making unique models, animations (rather than just making him a shorter Batman clone) and giving him voice acting and such, it would be a waste if he weren't in the campaign at some point too. But we'll see.

 

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss.

.....

....I don't know if I can see the Chris Nolan films after playing this game - and I haven't even played the game yet. Holy shit.

 

So, anybody else been playing this? I just finished it an hour or so ago (the plot, anyway...nowhere near close to doing all the side missions and Riddler challenges), and I loved it. Everything good about Asylum is there, and arguably better, while the few bits that weren't good have been improved (the boss battles are much, much better in City).

If I had to criticise anything, it would be the unfocused plot; there's so much going on that some of it inevitably gets sidelined, but overall it's an absolutely stunning game.

 

I am still angry that they pushed back the release date for the PC version so often >_>

So, I have yet to play it. Am looking forward like crazy though.

 

Could the title be changed to Arkham City? Mods?

 

I've been playing the fuck out of this game. At this point (since I 100%'d the story mode in NG and don't want to do NG+ at the moment) just messing around in challenge mode.

As Nightwing. I'm actually getting good at the combat system.

 

I'm still pretty fucking excited for this game.

That said I don't have a PS3 or 360 with me right now or for that matter a decent enough PC to run it.

Well fuck.

 

Was I the only one annoyed about the sudden decision to make Catwoman download only? I know you get the code with every copy of the game, but I really thought it lacked class given how much they'd pushed her in the promo material.

Fun as hell playing as her though.

 

I'm less annoyed by the decision than I am confused by it. Why did they do that? Space reasons?
