Probably have to come back for it later when you get that exploding gel

Anyway, almost done with the "demo" area and I am loving all the different fighting animations. The take-downs are sweet.

Thanks a lot man..lol a lot of running around thinking I was missing something.

Just landed a 50 hit combo with the help of a titan if you don't know that that is keep playing you'll find out soon.

Was able to do it on hard and for the part I was playing it was needed without I would have died.

I Failed this fighting section at least 6 times before I finally landed that combo. Has to be one of the most frustrating fights in the game on any diff level especially on hard.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

50 hit combo? wow!

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Yea the fight was so intense the only reason I knew I got it was because I heard the achievement sound lol. I was cussin up a storm before that because I kept dyin so much.

I'm so glad I finished the fight once I beat the game on hard I'm stickin with w/ normal and easy. I just don't think I have the patience to go through hard again.

I'm still debating whether i should play on hard or normal? did u die ALOT on hard or does the game just force you to play more methodically on hard?

if it becomes more methodical and not so much frustration, i'd like to play hard....

what do u think?

thanks

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Wait a minute... is this game more of a free-roam kind of thing like inFamous, or is it more level-based, but still rather open, like Uncharted?

If the former, then I think I made a mistake in not buying this when I could have gotten the $30 gift card.

Does anyone kind of have an answer to this one? I wasn't sure if it was more like... a 'sandbox' pick your own destination and fight baddies in the middle, or just follow a very linear storyline.

Agreed. This game is amazing. I have waited 33 years for a good Batman game, and this makes it worth the wait.

You follow a storyline it's not open world.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Definite candidate for GOTY, but there are some heavy hitters coming.

Okay, thanks.

But are some levels sort of open like Uncharted where you sort of choose which route you want to take to get to the end of it? Or is everything sort of corridor-based, or indoors?

I'm finally finding time to relax and play this game. Sweet.

Yeah, it's progressed linearly, but you're free to roam the island. A lot of areas are locked in the beginning, so you're kind of limited, but even then, there's still a good amount of exploration. As you progress the story those sections you have been to are open for you to return at anytime, which you will need to if you want to get all the Riddler trophies, as you need certain gadgets that you may not have had at that time.

That's cool. After school settles down I'll have to rent this and spend a lot of time with it.
