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.

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.

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

It does tend to show up on countdown lists. Never played it myself, though the Youtube vids make it look unbelievably broken.

Still, the video game critic community has made it a hobby to insult the Sonic series, regardless of a game's actual merits or shortcomings. Even Sonic Colors got backhanded praise from G4.. I can't stand G4.


Really looking forward to watching some Arkham youtube playthroughs!

Yeah, it's bad, but not one of the worst.

It is very broken though. One of the worst cameras in a game. Period.

A lot of the game has some big technical shortcomings as well. The demo is more advanced than the actual game.


We could be seeing platt doughs within hours. The game's been leaked already.

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.

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.

Alright, BIG ENDING SPOILER:

Spoiler:
Clayface was impersonating Joker throughout most of the game, and after the boss fight with him... Joker dies (really this time) and Batman carries his lifeless body out of the city to Gordon.

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.

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