Yep. No shame in being beta.

 

[ranmaru]

Mis-read that as meta

Shout-outs to

for being the first game to make me cry in a long time. Hank's story was touching.

every time I look at Ryker's avatar I have to battle the urge to change his account name to Gay Barbarian Tom Selleck

Why do you fight this urge? Power exists to be abused. Like Ryker's pretty, mustachioed face.

competitive catherine is sooooooooooooo entertaining to watch

Oh that reminds me, I was in Game stop and I was contemplating buying Batman Arkham Asylum since they had a cheap copy there but my bro told me that I should get Arkham City instead which is better. (He said they were both great games but Akrham City>Arkham Asylum) It was like $20 more though so I decided to just not get either for now.

Arkham City is a better game but that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy Asylum. Honestly I never understood this mentality where a sequel comes out and because it makes some improvements the prior game (despite being on the same console) might as well not exist or is considered not worthy of purchase 'n' ****. Just doesn't make any sense. AC is a sequel, not an Extended Cut. And there are actually a few things I thought Asylum did better.

So yeah, City is a better game, but your friend is dumb buy Asylum first. The only thing that will happen is City goes down in price, so hey.

I mean, seriously, the story even continues directly from the **** that went down in the first game, it's not like it was some kinda reboot ****.

I haven't bought either but are on my to by list.

 

[BSL]

But have you truly beaten it?

Out of context.

 

[Sudai]

Sudai is cool.

[frozenmarsh751]

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

But have you truly beaten it?

Did you catch the Riddler, track down the Identity Thief? You are not Batman until you have done errthang

Not at all.

 

[Shun Goku Satsu Rake]

IMO
Arkham Asylum gets originality points over City.

And Asylum actually did a whole lot of stuff right.

But beyond that I found City to have a much more engaging storyline, and a higher re playability factor.

That being said I wouldn't buy the second game before the first one.

Because :

1) Asylum is cheap now.
2) Asylum is the first game , so without playing it or knowing what happened in it, you might be totally lost.
3) Both games did a plethora of things right.

And if you did end up buying one I would go Asylum > City every single day of the week.

Plus like EE said, City is going to drop in price eventually, and with Catherine to play through...

 

[Dooms]

V/LA extended to Wednesday.

I actually found Asylum to have a slightly better storyline (not as grand or epic but still) simply by being simpler. It felt less like a mishmash of as many villains as possible, as much as I batdorked out for that, and more like they just wanted to tell a good story set in the Batman universe. A big part of that is the mild plausibility of it. It takes a lot of planning for villains to accomplish grand schemes and such, with a lot of secrets and all that. It felt like something that could happen in a world with these zany people in it.

Arkham City basically took a **** on common sense and how the world works from start to finish storywise. I love the story and found it engrossing and all, but everything about Dr. Strange's plan, from Arkham City to Protocol 10 to TYGER and all the **** they can do, is totally ludicrous. The President can't even throw out due process, but apparently the mayor, a psychologist and a PMC have the power to do that and nobody gives a ****? lol come on

 

[Gova]

Doesn't seem that implausible. I recently learned that mayors have more power than the governor.

 

[ranmaru]

I was planning on getting the first one but opted for a multiplayer game first. hahaha ;o

 

[ranmaru]

I wish there could have been some co-op on this.

would be golden

 

[BSL]

wat ?

Someone linked a post with logs from a mafia game you played. I was all like "hey I know that guy."

 

[Evil Eye]

SHUT UP GOVA YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

(sup gova is your face a smiley yet)

 

[ranmaru]

EE talk to me about how awesome Co-op might be in batman.

You know, like have Robin as a side-kick or something. : D

 

[Evil Eye]

That would be cool but ungainly as **** and it'd be literally impossible to design stealth sections that aren't bull**** hard or piss easy

but it would be damn cool. I'd be down with coop challenge maps maybe

 

[Evil Eye]

testing:

 

[Evil Eye]

:fuuu:

 

[Gova]

Hopefully it will be soon!

There's something fundamentally wrong with you having an avatar that's a guy whose face is hidden


EDIT: ninja'd. Raz can definitely hide his face forever. Goddamn maritimers.

 

[Gova]

But it still has that amazing smile.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

The avatar makes his posts considerably better.

 

[Shun Goku Satsu Rake]

So the eternal debate begins:

GTA V pre-order

Vs.

Assassin's Creed III

 

[Gova]

Buy both if you want both. Skip lunch for a week.

 

[BSL]

ACIII easy choice.

 

[Evil Eye]

I want a GTA game where you're a dirty cop. So some missions would be doing cop stuff and some would be doing criminal stuff

it would be awesome god damn it

also set it in Vice City

 

[#HBC | Kary]

^ this sounds amazing.

And buy both, if you have the time to play them.
