Yeah, it looks strange because it doesn't fit with the rest of the world but it's still awesome nonetheless. I will use that skin in a second playthrough since I want to enjoy the game as it was meant to be enjoyed first.

So far, it's living up to the hype.

Good to see the Bat is finally getting some much deserved respect in the video game realm.

It actually makes me jealous I don't have a PS3 or 360. I guess there's always the possibility of waiting for the Wii U port too.

Still, I doubt anything can truly live up to this:

It is. I believe he's the only character to have a game called "one of the worst ever" as well as a game called "one of the best ever"

It doesn't look like one can get the TAS skin in Canada.

I'll throw my old pal Sonic the Hedgehog into the conversation as well, unless you were just talking about superheroes.

Well I guess I meant "one of the worst ever"

*Slap-Happy* · 10-13-2011, 02:00 AM

Was a sonic game ever called one of the worst games ever? Sonic 06 wasn't THAT bad.

*oldmanwinters* · 10-13-2011, 02:04 AM

A bit off subject, but...

Spoiler:

Really looking forward to watching some Arkham youtube playthroughs!

Ok, I know most of you couldn't care less about this, but humor me if you will...

I can't be the only person who thinks the default Arkham City costume is just plain dumb looking. Thank goodness for alternate costumes...

Now here's the problem. You've got to beat the campaign to use the alternate outfits. I'm trying to decide if I should...

A. Take my time, soak up the atmosphere and complete all quests, riddles and side-missions possible, and just wait until my next distant playthrough, to enjoy the alternate costumes, or

B. Rush through the campaign and forget about all the side missions, riddles, etc, so I can start a "new game plus" in a way better costume, and feel free to soak in the game from there on out, and be surprised by all the extra side missions on the way.

Basically I can't decide which would taint the experience more....Having already beaten the campaign by my second fully realized playthrough, or feeling like Bat-goon the entire 40 hour playthrough.

I know it's kind of a superficial problem, but when playing a Batman game, the style of the costume happens to be a big deal to me. Call me crazy, but opinions are more than welcome.

Have someone else play through the game for you first then. That way you'll "start" with the alternate costumes.

*Redeemer* · 10-13-2011, 10:56 AM

The more I read about this game the more excited about the game, but I still have to beat the first game

Believe it or not, I've actually considered this. My friend, Mikey, is too broke to buy it this year. Maybe I'll get my good deed in before December the new year hits.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 10-16-2011, 12:54 AM

i already got a call from EB reminding me of release Tuesday!

Alright, BIG ENDING SPOILER:

Aqua, from what I've read... weapons and upgrades carry over to your second playthrough, in that, you won't fully max out everything on your first run. I'd suggest playing through without the use of any guides or assistance and on your second play, complete any riddles or side-quests you missed the first time around. From what I've read, the game is rewarding in this respect, so I really hope that's true.

As for the default costume looking dumb... how so? Personally, I like it.

Digital Ghost · 10-16-2011, 03:24 AM

I would have to agree however, that they should have allowed the use of alternate costumes from the get go.
