Arkham City

[Billargh]

So, 9 days to go. Any body else counting down the days? The reviews so far seem incredible, 97% from Games Master and 10/10 from Game Informer.

Yay

 

[WiZe^]

Gah! still have too finish the first one :/ need more time!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

The obviously-going-to-be-better version, PC, was delayed

Probably wait for that as it'll look so much better.

 

[PLightstar]

I'll wait for the PC version to come down in price, with Skyrim, BF3 and Sword of the Stars 2 in my pre-order list, my gaming time will be full up for a while.

Loved the first one, even if GFWL messed up my 100% save when I upgraded my machine and I have had to start from scratch.

 

[ECA]

I pre-ordered the PC version on massive discounts for like £18 from tesco.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Billargh]

I didn't enjoy AA as much on pc tbh, I thought the controls were too fiddly, much preferred using a pad for it.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Got a code to download Arkham City free with me graphics card so thought bugger it and bought a 360 pad to use with it. Looking forward to it

 

[Rulke]

Is it GFWL again? :/

 

[Billargh]

Sure is.

 

[chipper]

to be fair GFWL does actually seem to work now where as before it worked for like 1 in 1000 some of the time

that been said im torn on whether to get it for pc or ps3 it felt alot more playable on a console tbh

PC as you get all the cool PhysX effects. Stick in a 360 or PS3 pad and you are quids in.

Xbox pad for Windows, wireless. Good pad, apart from the shoddy build on the D-Pad.

xbox and ps3 pads work on pc, just ... plug one in?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Good point, I forgot I didn't have a PS3 when I played AA.

 

[Billargh]

I don't own a wired pad, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the play and charge kits don't work for connecting wireless pads to a PC. I should get a pad like, been meaning to finish of AA on the PC for an age anyway.

 

[eksdee]

You can get a wireless adapter for the PC. No idea how much it costs. Knowing M$ it'll be about £30.

 

[Billargh]

Aye they're around the £20 mark like, may as well just buy an extra, wired pad

 

[ECA]

Glad I ordered the PC version

How does one connect a xbox 360 pad to said laptop...

 

[leggy]

Picking this bad boy up on the way home. Loved AA and expect to love this more.

X360 version - stopped playing PC games (other than CIV) ages ago. Much preferred spending my money on travelling than some uber shiny gfx.

 

[Ch3tan]

Why is this not out on PC yet?

[Aada]

Picked this up today 99p at HMV if you trade in Rage.
Only just put the Batman suit on so barely started but the start up seemed great. Gonna better this until BF3 comes out, loved AA.

 

[Deebs]

So is it any good?

 

[Billargh]

Very good, much like the original, it's just bigger with a lot more gadgets and a lot more to do. Oh and a shit load more villains, which is always fun.

 

[Aada]

Been on it all day its awesome lots of cool villains in it this time a shit load more tbh.
Oh and it looks spectacular, a very dark and grim game just what Batman is about.
10/10

 

[MYstIC G]

Are there any comparisons between the platforms, I can't decide whether to pick this up on 360/PS3 or PC at the moment.

Mostly because I can't figure out which has the best graphics and what the score is with DLC.

 

[PLightstar]

As the PC version has been pushed back till the 18th Nov, its going to conflict with my Skyrim and Sword of the Stars 2 time. So its going to take a while for me to finish it.

 

[MYstIC G]

Is there a comparison between the PC/PS3/XBOX versions anywhere. Really can't decide which version to pick up (I'm leaning towards PS3).

 

[Ch3tan]

it's been pushed back to 25th for pc now. Think I'll just grab it on ps3 now.
