Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

I wish my neighborhood was a bit better so I could go and pick up the game at midnight. Alas.

 

[The Guardian]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem,up: I got a second phone call from Gamestop, a real person this time not Ashley, telling me they had my collector's edition there and that I could pick it up tomorrow morning!!!up:

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering, how well is Bane portrayed in this game and is this game a good length? I'm worried it'll be too short. Thanks in advance for the answers.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I've heard it is 7 to 9 hours long. I bought it today at a local store but I've only played it for 20 min.

 

[Hurm...]

A couple more hours until I kick some digital ass.

Eh i havent played the game yet but it appears Bane has been given the more gimmicky treatment. Being the puny, scrawny type that just gets hopped up on Venom. Its possible thats not the case but it doesnt appear to be based off the videos.

As for game length. If you attempt to find and solve all of the Riddlers clues, you are looking at about 12 hours worth of gameplay(according to IGN). Dont forget about the challenge maps either, those are seperate from the main game.

A guy on this forum got his hands on the CE. Wasn't impressed.

Installing to hard drive.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

After reading that forum post I'm pretty sure I won't get the CE. Mainly cause I could use the money. Sucks that people are unimpressed with the contents. Hopefully GameStop won't care if I switch to a regular edition.

 

[Rocker22]

Interesting dilemma. One of the copy's I've sold tonight won't load past the DC logo screen and at one point my CE disc said disc is not readable randomly. Might have a bad shipment or something.

@ people *****ing about the combat being too simple.

Have fun trying to string together a 20 hit combo in the challenge rooms more than once.

I heard the devs say they can get it past a hundred, that takes time and practice.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

THe combat is only limited by the players skill. So those who are complaining...get better at fighting!!!

 

[Savage]

Just wish my gamestop code would work. =[ Does gamestop replace the code if I call them up?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well if they have given you a faulty product then yea they should.

 

[Paradox1]

Hey guys just wanted to chime in real quick I picked the game up and have been play for about 4hrs now.The awesomeness of this game is incredible. I did so poorly in the first time around I think I'm have to start the game again and I'm not even half way down.

 

[Dark_Lord]

The Spike Batman Special for anyone interested.

This is ********. I get my copy at midnight and head home only to find my ps3 only showing a black screen on my tv. I have no idea what happened, it was working fine when i left, but it looks like i won't be playing it tonight. ****.

PS, anybody know what could be wrong with my ps3 and how to fix it? I'm hoping my HDMI cable is just messed up, because I tried all the PS3 resets... This is so lame.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

got it at midnight at walmart...ive got 16% of the game beaten so far...callin it a night...this games addicting...oh my...sooo good

 

[The Riddler]

The Spike Batman Special for anyone interested.

sucks to hear riddler won't be in the game physically...

 

[Savage]

Well if they have given you a faulty product then yea they should.

Yeah but I'm hoping it'll just be the code and I won't have to pack up everything and bring it in to exchange cause...Yeah, this stuff is all over the place right now.

Got it at Midnight, played for a couple hours. One thing I noted is that the Demo was a mish-mash of two different levels. But I'm really liking it...
