Batman: Arkham Asylum

I just got the Platinum. Finished it on Normal two days ago.

Just beat Ivy. And now time for Joker Finale.

OSHI- VENOM JOKER!

Seriously, I'm still annoyed that they resorted to a Titan (not Venom) Joker. It's pretty much a straight rip off of that episode of The Batman, Brawn

I agree.

Have you tried the Challenge Maps yet? What about the Riddlers quests?

I tried a few of the challenges. And the Riddler quests too.

I'll get all of those done later though.

Just beat him.

And fuck the developers for thinking it was a good idea for Scarecrow to rise from the dead after being taken out by Killer Croc.

There are 3 (randomized*) different endings: either Scarecrow, Bane or Killer Croc grabs the Titan container.

* No one knows, it might have something to do with the number of riddles you've solved. In both my playthroughs on Normal and Hard, I got Bane.

The scenes:

Feh.

Anyways, Scarecrows scenes are easily the best parts of the game.

Story-wise.

Yup. The final one where it goes all Eternal Darkness on you was amazing.

Anyways, I have finally formed a final opinion of the game.

The story is generic excluding Scarecrow's sections, the voice acting is superb, the game knows how to create tension, the voice-acting is superb, and the gameplay is fun albeit repetitive. The game relies on stealth gameplay mostly so it took me a while to adjust to that but I have to say... I do like the game.

8.5, Not Perfect but it's still great.

Starting a new game on Hard.

I'm actually going to try and get every trophy for this one.

I was planning to get this pretty much straight away, but I'm playing other stuff now. No point buying it and not playing it for a month or so when I wait a month and probably get it cheaper. Once I'm done with R&C and Uncharted, Tekken 6 will be here.

Well fuck this. Tekken's coming out later than I thought, so I bought this today.

Got a code thingy for the Scarecrow challenge maps with it too.

I was planning to go through Uncharted a second time, but 3.0 has borked it. So I'll start this tonight.

Note to self; don't upgrade firmware just yet.

So far Uncharted seems to be the only game that has that problem. But this has taught me not to upgrade straight away. Next time I'm gonna wait it out a little and see what the complaints are.

How often do upgrades happen? And is my PS3 now supposed to have the PSNstore where my game menu is?

Yeah, 3.0 added extra PSN store items on the menus. Also made the text much bigger.

Will it work more than once?

I dunno. I think it works up to 5 times.

But then again, I assume you have an Xbox 360 and it's not probably not cross compatible.
