Batman: Arkham Asylum

I didn't like either of them that much.

Both were very repetitive games.

Still haven't completed web of shadows actuallly i'll get back to that eventually

X Men wouldn't have been repetitive if it was as short as Arkham Asylum though... it's getting the balance right. As it was, I thought it did a good job of making you feel like Wolverine.

well that part was done well

but batman also has the stealth aspect and for me thats just a whole lot of fun. Even after i finish up all the predator maps i'll probably be redoing them just for the fun of it.

the riddles were a decent distraction compared to collectibles in other games (the ones you needed to look for evidence at least) even the qquestion marks were satisfying to find ( the ones you can only see in detective mode).

I also thought playble joker was a nice diversion as he actually plays quite differently, the scarecrow scenes were amazing to, even if the actual boss sequences with him just felt like VR in MGS2

Yeah but stealth sections wouldn't really suit Wolverine, would they?

Yes the Scarecrow sections were easily the best part of the game, barring the boring 'hide from line of sight' bits.

His military training and such it could be, although that wasn't what i really meant.

Other then the combat there wasn't much else to it. A lot of other heroes work better i.e. spidey you got swinging, helping civilians, combat
Hulk has combat + wrecking the city
Batman combat, stealth, gadgets hopefully batmobile
superman and ironman could have flight and combat (ironman has gadgets, supes has multiple powers)

Honestly i'd love a game of someone as versatile as the martian manhunter but that would basically be prototype

Characters like wolverine and captain america are way down my list of characters i want to play as, cyclops is right at the bottom a cyclops game would be shit.

X2 Wolverine's Revenge is an example of why Canadian's shouldn't ever be in stealth games.

Who do you think will be in AA2?

A cyclops game would just be a shooter with like 2 different weapons.

Besides the Joker and whoever it was that surfaced at the end of AA (I don't remember who it was). I think they might include Two Face and actual appearances by the Riddler.

Joker, Scarecrow, Riddler at the least

If riddler isn't in it will be a copout

Probably someone like penguin/catwoman + a not so famous one i.e. scarface or something

The surfacing arm at the end can belong to any of the main bosses, iirc it's just random which one you see.
I want to see all the villians that were hinted at in the first make a proper appearance, Calendar Man as the main antagonist needs to happen. Ra's Al Ghul also needs some screen time, I loved how they included him in the first game even though it was an easter egg at best.

Penguin would make for a cool part of the game if he turns the entire asylum into ice.

According to the AA 'backstory' (there was a poster up on one of the walls in game) The Penguin runs an exclusive bar or something.

Mr. Freeze needs to be in this game, dammit. He had an entire fucking frozen cell to himself.

Where?!

also clayface is the only one who won't be in it

he's hardcore

He's one of the body bags.

When you first visit the morgue there's a body bag with a foot sticking out with his name on a tag.
Later in the game the body has disappeared, presumably taken by the League of Assassins in order to ressurect him.

100% on my normal save file. The final predator challenges are awesome to do. Now i have a whole new take on the game, for my hard run.

The lack of a bat sense in hard suprisingly makes things a lot more difficult but i'm getting upgrades a lot faster due to my considerably better combat skills this time round. The only problem is the occasional time i get myself spotted by a guy with a gun, which isn't too often. I can imagine stun gun guys will be a real pain though.

Just finished the main story on easy, and a few of Riddler's puzzles, now I'm playing the game since the start on Normal mode
Expected the final Joker fight would be harder, not too easy

So far imo it's one of the top 3 PS3 games I played, along with AC2 and RE5 as 2nd & 3rd respectively

Play on hard, i never played on easy so i can't comment on that, but the only thing that adds difficulty to the game is not being told when to counter but makes the game like 10 x more fun.

Will get around and do so eventually

Wow, Batman is more aggressive on Normal mode, better at responding to commands when I press the control
Easy mode is too cheap

Don't be a pussy, play hard.

It's not that difficult anyway, my one and only playthrough was on hard.

You love the word pussy a lot
