Honestly, this trailer makes me less excited. I was looking forward to seeing a Jim Gordon-focused cop drama with villains from the "realistic" end of the spectrum (like the Sionis, Falcone, and Cobblepot families) with young Bruce and Selina side-stories. The trailer makes the city seem...

The existence of flash sales doesn't prevent me from buying $50-60 games. It makes a game have to do a lot more to convince me to buy it at the higher price point instead of waiting. Half-life 3? Psychonauts 2? I'd put down $60 for those right now. For other games I'd pay that price after...
