Batman: Arkham Asylum

[The Incredible Hulk]

Ummmm.has anyone noticed how short this game is???
Oh well it's short but hella sweet.This gamer is happy

A good game, like a good movie or TV show, should never feel long.

I felt like I was playing this game for a while, but then again I was looking for all the riddler's stuff. Maybe if I wasn't, I would think it was too short.

I would love a challenge map that includes a new villian. To make up for the piss poor villian count in the game. All of arkham, and we get Joker, Harley, Croc, Bane, Ivy, and Scarecrow (who we never actually fight).

Yea, there was Victor Zsasz, but he was like two seconds and a breeze to beat.

I would have loved a couple more considering how many villians Batman has in his rogue's gallery.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Gotta save some for the sequel(s). I agree that there could've been a couple more but there were a ton of references to just about every villain you could imagine, and dont forget Riddler was an over-arching theme of the game even though we didn't get to see him.

That only makes me more excited about the possible upcoming sequel. I think it was a good move to save villains like Two-Face, Black Mask, The Ventriloquist & Scarface, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Firefly, The Riddler, Ra's al Ghul etc. Also, I hope for Scarecrow to return. I'd love to fight him as a real boss (not only a commander of skeletons :P). There is so much to do with him!

Yea i could have used one or 2 more villain encounters but i really was gald to see them hold back. I didnt want to have a s**t ton of villains pop out just for the sake of it. The whole story revolved around how carefully Joker crafted this scheme, i mean he pretty much chose who he was gonna throw at Bats, that would have been lost had they of had a ton of villain encounters. Seeing all the cameos(Calender Mans cell, Dents Cell, Freezes Cell, Clayface, etc etc) was enough for now.

I think a story of Ra's Al Guhl releasing a bunch of Arkham Asylum inmates to test Batman for Talia's hand.

Final boss will be Ra's jacked up because of the Lazarus pit.

I want more stealth part put in the game, ala Splinter Cell. Smoke bombs, throwing batarangs at lights etc.

Yea if i could change one thing, itd be more stealth options. I mean i thought there was a good balance, but myself, i like stealth games so i could of used more for this title.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I like the silent predator stuff in the game and the challenges. AS was mentioend above would've liked one where you had a guy in a control room with a lever set to kill someone and then all the henchmen had those collars on, so you really couldnt take any of them out, just pure stealth.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Anybody have any idea as to what they think the DLC will be thats set to drop in 9 days?

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

different costumes maybe? challenge maps?

 

[Erzengel]

Probably more challenge maps.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

i hear batman no mans land would be a good base story as a sequel, id add in the rest of the good villians worth fighting into the the story though.
and i guess a few other stealth options would be good, like breaking lights and what not, but like rocksteady said they didnt want this game to be like splinter cell, and i agree.

It feels like EVERY game is considered a short game, nowadays.

If the game isn't GTA IV, or OBLIVION or even FALOUT 3...then it's a short game.

COD4 took me forever to beat. Bioshock took me a good while, and I still haven't played it a second time YET. Both those games were considered to be super short.

I think it's a relative term, really.

What was everyone's favourite Scarecrow scene?

Spoiler

1. The Death of Gym Gordon/Morgue, 2. Crime Alley, 3. Batman goes to Arkham

Personally I thought the 2nd scenerio was my favourite, although the 3rd one was great as well.

[Gamma Goliath]

i likes all of em!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Number 3, even though the others were just as awesome.

But, number three...I actually thought my PS3 had frozen and restarted.

Same here. I actually reset my 360. I thought "Great, it did it again. I'm so fed up with the Xbox."

 

[Charlie No-One]

The second and third were actually scary. The third one really freaked me out.

[darknight7]

I thought the 3rd was pretty crazy. Very well done, definitely made me think my ps3 was damaged lol.

But I can't get over the

Spoiler

crime alley scene, it's just too awesome to me. It's such a classic Batman fear, and I love how the long hallway transitions into a narrow alley

you guys heard about the free DLC comming our way? wonder what its gonna be

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The story zipped by my second and third times through, after I'd collected all the Riddler stuff on my first run. It's very well paced.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah I heard it'll be the 17th of this month.
