    i am getting more and more pissed at the idea of exclusive pre-order fucking bullshit.

    you want to play Robin? Buy from store X or you're fucked :D

    Apparently they're releasing the Robin DLC in a pack (also apparently all the Batman Costumes) sometime within the next month or 2.

    November 1 for Nightwing, and I believe November 22 for Robin (it's right around Thanksgiving)

    Meh. Seriously doubt i'll be coming back to Arkham City by then. Disappointing.

    i can't think of any game in which pre-order content has not been available later as paid DLC, and usually fairly cheap at that.

  • TurkeyTurkey So, Usoop. TampaRegistered User regular
    I love preorder content so much

    You can sell it online for 2-10 times as much as it ends up costing when they inevitably release it to everyone.

    Fable II had a Master Chief helmet for getting the badass edition, and it was never made available to the public

    Which is dumb! Obviously, considering they made Fable II, but still. Think of the money lost!

    Robin is actually a completely new gaming experience. I don't care about cosmetic pre-order bonuses but when they actually change the gameplay that really irks me.

    WELL THIS SURE IS AN AWKWARD TIME TO POST THESE UP ISNT IT

    Sorry DasUberEdward. :(

    Robin's DLC Map.

    Robin vs normal thugs.

    Robin vs everybody except minibosses and all their fucking shields he can't break goddammit also if you are a particularly deductive sob you probably don't want to watch it because you might figure out some plot stuff based on enemy types that appear and spoiler yourself....

    They should all be 720p and full screenable, but I don't think the last one has finished processing yet.

    Now I'm gonna focus on Batman challenges because Robin has made me a worse Batman and I'm starting to feel embarrassed when I do the playthrough with my gf watching. She gives me looks when I get hit. "That's not very Batman" is the meaning of those looks. :(

    i also bought a video card because it came with a free steam copy of Arkham City. I was so pumped to build a new PC and play Arkham. Then one day after I placed my order the PC version was delayed. Basically Arkham City has been fucking me over since day one. . .


    but i love the game so much :(

    I haven't beaten the game yet, but so far the Joker is so perfect. Honestly, I'd say they've got him nailed better than any other character in the game, including Batman.
    Talia in trouble so Batman is just going to let a bunch of people die to save her? That's not very Batman at all.
    He's just so crazy and so psycho that it's all perfect. If this really is Mark Hamill's final note as the Joker, glad to see him going out absolutely on top.

    And speaking of voice actors, the ones they got to do the different characters are decent enough, but I don't think I'll ever be able to really get the ones from The Animated Series out of my head. That show's been over for, geez, over a decade now? And yet I still keep instinctively wanting to hear the old voices for a bunch of characters.

    The Penguin voice is good, though. No conflict there for some reason.

    You may be doing the BatDance on the youtube. Maybe answering clever riddles. Maybe just maybe you'll have to guess how many jelly beans are in a Bat shaped jar.

    So I was thinking about the next game they make, and it occurred to me that they're gonna need to come up with some new villains for boss fights. Rocksteady seems to introduce new villains for each game, and between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, we've gotten quite a lot of the big names already. Going over the rogues gallery, I came up with a few that seem likely or might be interesting:

    Firefly: Can't say he's a terribly formidable presence, but the possibilities for gameplay are exciting.
    Lady Shiva: Not really a villain but more of an assassin for hire. Still, she's the best martial artist in the world.
    Man-Bat: Big imposing physical force. Capable of flight. This would be an epic battle.
    Black Mask: Influential crimelord. Not sure what he'd do as a boss though, other then shoot pistols at you.
    Hush: Again, not sure what he'd do other then shoot pistols.
    The Ventriloquist: Lots of places they could take this one. Plus, it'll be nice to have more villains that provide some comic relief.

    Really? Penguin was my least favorite villain. He was always the mobster with big airs and a big opinion of himself and they turned him into a dingy gangster with a smashed up bottle in his eye.

    I mean why would you keep a broken bottle in your face?

    I ordered it online from their website. Took a week or two, don't remember exactly. I don't think it's the best you can get anymore, I mean it doesn't even do hdmi. It does component. 720p is the max.

    You can unlock about five interviews that really go over his character, as well as a 5 part riddle based backstory that explain his motivations. He is completely penguin. He has a huge opinion of himself, he still has the same arrogance you get from having "airs" and that bottle has a tale to tell that addresses that problem.

    I think, I'm not sure I haven't checked, but I think you unlock these interview tapes based on the geographical location. So around the penguin area is where you get his tapes.

    The contextual counters in this game are something else. Between Batman cramming some dude's mug into a wall, Robin running up the wall, flipping behind, tossing his staff to the guy before punching him and taking it back, or Catwoman's ledge pounce, I do nothing but squee when I'm ruining some bad guy's day.

    Oh wow, I didn't know that was Nolan North. That's funny, cause I was saying he was the only voice actor who wasn't in this game! I'm not seeing it on his IMDB, but the guy who does Bender on Futurama, does he do all the thugs? Cause every time I hear a thug yell, GET HIM, I'm expecting a drunk robot to come out and try to fight me.

    Not knowing North was Penguin I could see, I wouldn't believe it was him if I didn't know before hand, but North voices like... 1 out of every 2 thugs. Every two seconds a gruff Nathan Drake yells out

    "Its the Bat!"

    "OMG its so cold"

    etc

    While it never went on sale, per se, it is very very easily obtainable by anyone.

    Microsoft/Lionhead messed up the limited editions of Fable 2 so, so, so badly that you just had to fill out a form saying your LE didnt have any LE stuff in it and they'd send it to you.

    I watched my brother play around in combat challenges as Robin yesterday, he seems pretty badass! He can stick explodey things right on a thug! His challenge map looks awesome too, can't wait till I can buy him. TAS Robin looks chubby though...

    Speaking of Combat challenge rooms, rooms with stairs like Blind Justice are awful! I whiff on so many combos because of them... I cant three medal Blind Justice for the life of me. Three medal'd Blind Justice Extreme as Catwoman though.

    It's also Tim Drake's Red Robin outfit, and since Tim Drake is Robin in the game, I'd be more inclined to say that's what that skin is.

    Robin is by far my favorite addition, he's just so awesome to play as. Him and his staff. I wish I could do the free roam with him though.

    As far as a sequel goes, I'm sure they do a mixture of old and new villians like they did with Arkham City.
