Batman: Arkham Asylum

[Izuno]

Sorry to bump an older thread but Ifinally got around to playing the demo off PSN. It's a short demo, but definitely makes you want to play the whole thing. Very impressed that we finally have a good Batman game.

It's even better towards the end when you get new toys and can solve a lot of the riddles that were inaccessible at the start. I just finished collecting all of the riddles, and it was way more fun than it has any right to be The challenge maps are way more addictive than you'd think, too.

[Pampers]

loved the riddles where you had to stand and look in a spesific angle to solve them, havent tried the challenge maps yet though, and I wonder what the dlc will be about

"- ugly color palette especially out doors"

I agree that the outdoor areas aren't the prettiest (bland, flat green ), but I really like the rest of the colours. The cool prison greens + warm orange contrast gives me a nice HL2 prison nostalgic glow The sewers in particular have some really nice colours going on. Those areas strongly remind me of the colours found on various "abandoned" photograph websites. There was one tunnels shot on one of those sites that was an exact match, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

I heard that the PC version has several crash issues with Games For Windows Live, including some fatal blue screens for some users... D:

Awesome.

Epic stuff!

Very cool, but they've got to be very careful with that sort of 'protection'. I've read about similar things before and there was a lot of negative word of mouth about it. In particular, I remember reading about one game which included several deliberate crash bugs in the pirated version; the game soon gained a (totally unfair) reputation as being really buggy because of it! Furthermore, the more features you add, the bigger the risk of adding more bugs and/or introducing the sabotaged feature in a legitimate customer's copy.

Subtly destroying a pirate's enjoyment of the game is pretty funny though, and I'm guessing since it's buried in the game mechanics it'll be a little harder for the pirates to find & fix. Not that much harder, though...

[D3ads]

Hahaha that's pretty funny.

[Sentura]

you don't have to make numerous bugs though, you could settle for just making one progress breaking bug (like they did here).

Titan Quest?

Seeing as how Activision are douches and delaying Modern Warfare I went and bought this instead on steam for my new graphics card. Really cool so far Batman is buff as fuck in this, geez. His arms are as big as my leg!

[Gloglebag]

Fuck, I just got to the intro. Closed the game, bought it and went on playing it. Dammed it's good.
