Batman Arkham Asylum...

XnMeX - 12-6-2009 at 07:16 PM

FINALLY got around to playing this game and it is everything a Batman game should be! Fucking AWESOME! Perfect cast of characters with each used very well. VERY unique boss fights as well as BADAS Scarecrow levels (by far the highlights of the game). I know Honus was digging this game, anyone else check it out? I am on the last level (i think) and will probably finish it up tomorrow.

I am waiting for my friend to beat it so i can borrow it. I have been playing Assassins Creed 2 game is gonna take forever to beat, i keep getting sidetracked doing extra missions.

XnMeX - 12-6-2009 at 07:42 PM

Is it any good?

I beat Assassins Creed 2 it's great. A lot better then the first one. It was a great all around game. I'm currently playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Arkham Asylum was really good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. You're right about the Scarecrow content, great stuff.

Arkham ruled! One of the best games i've played since I got my XBox.

I'm playing Modern Warfare II now. I finished the campagne, but I'm playing online and doing WAY better than I thought I would. I think I'm a level 43 now!

It's good you can do a lot more than the first one, but the fighting still gets a little repetitive.

I am on the final fight with Joker on Normal and keep getting killed. It is pissing me off. One thing I am getting sick of is fighting horde of thugs over and over (but it is indeed very Batman-esque so I can't complain really). I usually go thru games on easy and this is why... I get stuck and pissed and don't want to go thru the game again JUST to beat one guy, especially when I am only renting the game.

FUCK YOU JOKER!@!@@^)*(*^*(@%

*POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING*

I had a tough time with the Joker at first too. I'm asuming that hes the 'giant joker' now? I'm sure you've seen it, but theres an obvious patern to his attacks and if you follow it and just do the cheezy simple attacks that it wants you to do hes not that bad. I beat it on Normal. I tried to start over on Hard and I literally could not get past the first wave of guys in the first room of Arkham!

How bad as was the 'glitchy' part where you were the Joker for a few minutes. I freeked out when it started to 'glitch' out because I thought my XBox was fucked or that I was gonna have to start the whole game again!

*END SPOILER WARNING*

Honus, you should add ***spoiler***

***SPOILER***

I had a rented copy that was a bit scratched and it had frozen 3 times previously so at first I thought it was messing up again. Sooo Badass!

Shit, I actually found the ending really easy. Got that one on the first try. However the part not too long before that where you have to fight a ton of thugs at once was really fucking hard. Took a few tries to get that done let me tell you.

Great game, played it through a few times and still can't get more than like 85% completion. Got all the Riddler shit and finished the story, but clearly I'm missing something.

I had the same problem! I cant remember what % I got, but I finished the game and got all the Riddler statues and all the riddles.

I think that the extra % of completion might the the 'challenges' which I tried to do and had a really hard time with so I gave up.

Batman arkham is great,although it only took me 3 days to complete.

The Killercroc level was really good,shit me up in places.

I've just gone out and got left 4 dead 2 which is really good too.

ShawnRefuse - 12-9-2009 at 06:42 PM

playing slowly. I wish I had time to play as much as you guys haha. I am only at the scarecrow.

It's definitely a fun game. But, man I wish I had the time to play it right.

at first it almost looks like the Arkham gates are in front of Wayne Manor, but then when it pans back you see to much of the city. Looks awesome though!

XnMeX - 12-15-2009 at 10:54 AM

Can't wait! Finally beat the game.

***SPOILER***

My problem with the end boss is when you are to grab him with the grapple and pull him down by tapping "A" I was actually tapping TOO fast and he wasn't getting pulled down. I had tried beating him about 8 times until I figured this out thinking I wasn't tapping fast enough. Once I figured out I just needed to tap slower (which I have never heard of in a game) I was able to beat it the next time.

I kept fighting off the waves and trying to pull him down with no luck... I was getting PISSED and ANNOYED!
