I was watching a 17 minute game play video the other day. I like what I see. I'll be getting the game tomorrow at midnight. I really can't wait to see how big the place really is. It's cool that the F-17 Stealth Batwing is in the game. But if I can get away without using it, I will. But if the world is as big as GTA5, then I have a feeling I will be using it a lot.
Well now that puts a money wrench into things now doesn't it? I could have sworn I heard it was....hmmmm....must dig.
Have you played Arkham City? The dev said the world is twice as big as that one. So much smaller than GTA 5, but still fairly substantial.
I wanna play this game bad....crap...I played the other 2 recently and loved them both.....I may forgo Black Ops 2 and do this(I planned to play that right after BF3)....time is getting short though.... Is my PS4 really going to sit in a box for a few days while I finish this?!??!!??
Haven't gotten to any real boss fight yet. But I agree that it is buggy. There don't seem to be as many grapple points when gliding and the fight controls are nearly as tight as Arkham City. That being the game is rather slow until the plot twist. Now it is starting to feel like an Arkham game. Spoiler Also, not sure about anyone else, but I haven't even bothered in jamming the towers to use the Batwing. I have far to much fun gliding across the city.
I think I'm about halfway done. The game takes a little while to kick into gear—the first couple of hours are pretty slow and mundane, plot-wise—but when it does, wow. I don't think this is better than Arkham City, but it's definitely better than Arkham Asylum. And I like that this Batman makes mistakes. He doesn't always make the right decision, and in a lot of ways he's still just a rich thug—he hasn't fully learned how to be Batman yet. It makes for some really good scenes, sort of like the middle parts of Batman Begins. Sadly, he doesn't hold a stapler to Jim Gordon's head. There are a few bugs of varying degrees of severity, and you WILL run into at least one of them until a patch is released. Most amusing is the bugged crawlspace ledge that prevents you from climbing into it, which can be worked around by using another bug to propel Batman into the air and over the space that you would have to crawl through. I'm really liking this game and doing my best to finish it before Assassin's Battlefield 4 comes out.
Just got this game for my birthday, only played maybe 15 or 20 minutes of it, just beat Killer Croc at Blackgate. I enjoyed what I played so far but really wasn't expecting it to be any different than the other 2 Arkham games, which I liked a lot.
I have to get this eventually. I'm concerned about the bugs though. Arkham city seemed a bit buggy and confusing to me. And once I finished the main story, it became boring and not worth the trouble. Arkham Asylum was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. Probably the only game where I had 100% completion. Probably because this game shocked the hell out of me by how great it was.
Finkle you are gamer too!!!! Dude we are one in the same sans the whole Red Sox deformity you where born with....
I enjoyed the side missions of Arkham City a lot, the only thing that really annoyed me were trying to get some of the Riddler trophies. I think Arkham City has tons of replay value.
I'm not a huge gamer. I only really play MLB The Show, the Batman games and Rock Band. Otherwise I'm an old school gamer and play a lot of NES, Sega and N64 games.
Arkham City wasn't very buggy, IMO. Origins has been, but there have been 3 or so patches since launch that have fixed a lot of problems.
I agree, the only bug I found in AC was if you fell off the tower before fighting Hugo Strange, you'd keep falling and falling and falling with just a black background, almost like you're in space.
I am really enjoying this game. I find it much more enjoyable and easier to navigate than arkham city. Maybe it's me. Good stuff tho! I'm currently in the Royal Hotel.
You're about 75% through the game. I think Origins' story mode was too short. City has more twists and turns and leads you further along.
The best part of this game is in the beginning, they play the dramatic Christmas music...and then BANG! Deion Sanders getting KTFO!!!!
I just rounded up 20 Blackgate prisoners. The only thing left to do in story more is the data packs, which I don't think will be worth the payoff. Correct me if I'm wrong. I downloaded the knightfall and death stroke add ons, but I don't think it adds anything to story mode. Just online stuff. So I think I'm calling this a wrap, and moving on to AC4. Let me know if I overlooked something worthwhile tho.
