I'm really excited about this one. It seems like they have every Batman enemy in this game!

Yeah, I loved "Arkham Asylum"...great game.

[chrisleakfan4life]

I have this game pre-ordered along with Elder Scrolls V but im most likely going to cancel those and put that money towards my MW3 console.

I just bought Gears of War 3, Rage, and Forza 4. Need to save some money for the MW3 console and Battlefield 3.

Would love to get Arkham City right now, but the pre-order bonuses are nothing special and i don't have the time to play it.

For me my money is being saved for Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 console. I would like to pick up Batman AA along with Goldeneye reloaded but there are other games i want to get first.

[FrankGator627]

Why are you buying the consoles?

[bakaduin]

Why are you buying the consoles?

Seconded lol how many PS3s do you need?

[Ericgraves]

Honestly the way Batman Arkham is getting reviewed, it would not be a stretch to say that Arkham city is one of the best video games on either console.

Worth buying.

[chrisleakfan4life]

Why are you buying the consoles?

I currently have a 120 gb Xbox 360 elite from March of 2010(not a slim).

With Xbox's proven track record, i doubt this one will last that much longer and i plan on keeping it around incase the MW3 one breaks. We are also running short on ethernet cable slots in our house for our network so we're making the move to wireless and i don't want to spend the $50 for Microsoft's adapter. My cousin who is in the marines is also looking for an Xbox 360 so i may send him my old one just because of how he is serving our country.


I was planning to get a new console, and the MW3 one is a good deal

320 GB Hard Drive
2 Controllers
Copy of Modern Warfare $3
Custom Design

The extra hard drive space, extra wireless controller and a copy of the game for $100. Why wait for the console to break when i can take advantage.

I plan on getting Arkham City, just not when it comes out most likely(i still might get in). The games pre-order bonuses are not anything special(don't care for the video, i didn't like the challenge maps in Arkham Aslyum) and i just have multiple games right now, and im in the process of joining a clan in Black Ops so im spending more time on Call of Duty.

If i bought Arkham City, i would have the following games to play:

Gears of War 3
Rage
Forza Motorsport 4
Batman Arkham City

and than have Battlefield 3 coming out on the 25th.

I'm going to see if i can come up with the money on the side for Arkham city, i get paid either tomorrow or Tuesday so ill see if i want to pick it up now or wait until late November or December.

My birthday is Nov.19 so i may just wait for it then and try to get somebody to buy it for me :ninja:

Between: Netflix, my Xbox live membership being renewed this month(on the 22nd), gym membership, car payment, credit card bills, plus all the various games i have bought recently AND the fact I'm in school it ain't easy to afford all these games :grin:

[chrisleakfan4life]

Well i scraped up some money and paid off Arkham City

I'm not going to open it and wait until i can get around to playing it incase i need to return it for when i get the MW3 console.

Hopefully i can at least use the pre-order bonus code and than if i decide to get the game later on ill still have the pre-order bonus.

I know its soon but when exactly is Arkham City out?

I will definitely be picking up this game. Loved the last one.

[Ericgraves]

It is out in roughly 3 and a half hours.

95 (360) and 97 (ps3) on metacritic. Ranking them as the 6th and 2nd best games on their respective consoles.

It is very sad that this game will not sell as well MW, battlefield, or even madden. From the sounds of it, this could be game of the year. To put that in perspective Elder Scrolls 5 comes out this year. Elder scrolls 5 is a game where I literally have told my doctoral advisor that there will be a week where I am more or less unavailable. Of course that is more of a reflection of my desire for Elder Scrolls 5 versus my future.

Regardless, this batman game deserves your attention.

Also side note, my list of games to buy for the rest of the year:
Batman: Arkham City
Battlefield 3
Dance Central 2
Elder Scrolls 5 Collectors Edition
(maybe uncharted 3, will be great, I just don't use my ps3 much)

I have skyrim reserved and i plan on getting it if Gamestop will hold my copy until the 15th which is when i get paid again near the release date of that game.

Arkham Aslyum was a great game and for me, a worthy challenge on easy.

I need to finish up Gears of War 3 plus Forza 4 and Rage before ill get around to Batman.

Closing at work tonight and ill get off in time to pick up Batman Tonight.

I'm seriously debating on picking this game up tomorrow. Now that you can trade in ipod's at Gamestop I should have enough to pick this up tomorrow and then Battlefield 3 next week.

[FrankGator627]

Arkham Asylum was one of my best purchases in the video game realm.

I think this game will actually be better. My favorite part of Arkham Asylum was when you got drugged and the game reset your PS3 and restarted with a different opening scene. That part actually freaked me out. LOL.

[LeafUF]

Thanks for the info. Have been too busy to follow this stuff lately. But I think I know what I am doing this weekend now. I am not one to stop in on a midnight release especially when I have to work at 6 am but I could definitely see myself picking this up tomorrow sometime.

Nice. I am looking forward to Elder Scrolls and ME3. Also, Uncharted and Max Payne if that ever makes it to shelves, I feel like it has been delayed a few times now.

[chrisleakfan4life]

Picked up the game tonight but as i stated i wont be playing it until i beat the other ones.

Got lucky and won a raffle for an Arkham City T-shirt, dope!

[chrisleakfan4life]

Well i asked Gamestop to hold the console for me until the 15th and they said they would(i also asked them to hold Skyrim until the 15th, that's when i get paid). Here's to hoping they don't sell it. I'm not sure if ill have the extra $400 around after i pay my bills so i am playing it safe.

I'm most likely going to sell my current console to a friend who's kid needs one(if they're interested) when the release date comes around.

[chrisleakfan4life]

Let us know how you like the Batman Game Eric

[LeafUF]

Picked it up today at target where they are throwing in a free bluray of dark knight. Only played for an hour but loving it so far.

Nice, i usually go with gamestop as their employees all know me for the most part(I'm there all the time).

Last night at the raffle the guy called my name but i was at the end of the line and couldn't hear him.

He knew i was there and held the shirt for me :grin:

Nice. I normally do gamestop also but the one I was trying to go to was gone and target was right in the shopping center.

[Ericgraves]

It is a truly great game.

Kinda overwhelming at first, and after breezing through the first one on hard I had to restart the game on normal for this one.

Combat has been changed and higher functions still require some getting use to. But the core gameplay remains the same.

Great diversity in action.

The only drawback is the game can be very overwhelming.

[chrisleakfan4life]

Might trade in Gears of War 3 soon to take advantage of the 50% trade bonus.

Right now they say they'll give $30 trade in credit, if they'll give me the 50% bonuses rewards point coupon on it, that would be $45, not a bad trade in towards battlefield 3.

[tbullard92]

I'm really enjoying this game.

[chrisleakfan4life]

Well as i figured you can't double stop stack discounts, however Gamestop is still giving $25 trade in on Gears of War 3 so ill get around $39 to $40 for Gears of War 3 towards Battlefield 3.

[Ericgraves]

Wow this game is huge.

It really is, I wish I could go back on hard now that I have my rhythm back. Make no mistake fighting in batman may look awesome but it is about carefully planning your next move. Partly what makes it so awesome.

Still this game is vast, a whole lot to do. A lot of puzzles to solve (jokers riddles while not as cool, are harder to complete). More gadgets creates clutter. No big deal.

This game is enthralling though.

[chrisleakfan4life]

For some reason i cannot wait for Goldeneye reloaded, i want to play it more than any other game coming up for some reason.

[bakaduin]

For some reason i cannot wait for Goldeneye reloaded, i want to play it more than any other game coming up for some reason.

The original GoldenEye is still one of my favorite games of all times.

[Ericgraves]

Just beat it.
The boss battles in this game are outstanding. Although I felt the stealth of this game suffered in comparison to the first game, overall great game.

I could honestly list about 10-15 small things which just blew me away. There is a love and attention to detail that is undeniable in this game. Very rarely do you this in a game. It is truly remarkable.

Wow 3 days lol not too shabby!

[chrisleakfan4life]

Well ill probably be listing my Xbox 360 elite on Ebay sometime around the release of Call of Duty MW3.

I'm gonna be including a copy of Modern Warfare 3 in the listing(brand new) as ill have an extra copy of it(i ordered the hardened edition) and ill be shipping it out as soon as i have the console.

If anybody is interested i can post a link to it when i list it.

I'll be going that route if i cant get a decent trade in deal to Gamestop or find somebody local who wants to buy it.

[Ericgraves]

Wow 3 days lol not too shabby!

I haven't started the arenas yet, did finish all of the riddler side quests. All four hundred of them. They are actually pretty cool, they aren't huge head scratchers but they do require a modicum of thought and precision/persistence to execute.
