Batman: Arkham City reviews are out

[veloper]

Damn I'm actually considering to get the game on release day. That should bite me in the ass, but with this one that is not very likely.

 

[Googenstien]

Never got first one, will wait for for the usual $39 sale price to consider... Especially with Dark Souls, Deus Ex, Res3, and Disgaea4 on my shelf

 

[Vibhor]

Okay this is good and all but I just heard a friggin weird news. I was browsing /v/ when I saw that this game has been leaked but this time around its not for PS3 or PC but only for the Xbox 360.
What the hell is this new trend of games getting leaked on consoles? 360 to be specific. This effectively nullifies any DRM measure they want to implement. Anybody else heard of this?

 

[Zhukov]

Ah, I see - positive reviews are clearly only paid and untrustworthy if they're for a mainstream game like Call of Duty.

Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy EVERYWHERE.

Since when is Arkham City not a mainstream game?

In the post-Dark Knight world, Batman is hardly an exclusively nerdy property.

 

[EmzOLV]

Preordered it for my brother for his birthday.
And he's not back home for a while.

Looks like it'll be in my capable and safe sisterly hands for a while.
If it accidentally falls into my xbox, I can't be blamed for that. And once it's in there, I'll just have to play it so I don't have an even worse achievement ratio.

All totally innocent of course.

 

[Koroviev]

It looks great, but I think I'm going to play Dark Souls first. Will certainly pick it up eventually though. Depending on the length, it might be a Red Box marathon.

 

[Kris Maclean]

Gamesradar gave it a 10, Official Playstation Mag gave it a 10, OXM 9/10, Eurogamer 9/10, Metro 9/10 and Destructoid 8.5/10...

This has to be a day one purchase and a GOTY contender for sure, sparkling reviews all round with some minor complaints but nothing to gripe about.

 

[AngelicSven]

Everyone so far has said it's awesome and the best Batman game yet. The only gripe I heard Nolan North, as awesome as he is, sort messed up the Penguin's voice.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

So they got enough money to pay for reviews, let's hope they also spent some of that on game development

Why so cynical?

No no no, this is Batman we're talking about. Repeat after me: "Why so SERIOUS!?"

Jim at Dtoid gave it a great review. He's one of the four or five reviewers who usually feel similarly to me on games.

Because everybody knows that Piracy only exists on the PC! Silly little man, didn't you know that?

Here are some more reviews for you.

X-Play 5/5

Giant Bomb 5/5
http://www.giantbomb.com/batman-arkham-city/61-29443/reviews/

X-Play gives every high-profile game a 5/5. That barely counts.

 

[Redem]

While I'm not suprise it get good review, I'm not sold on it if only because I thought Arkham asylum was kind of dull the second time around

It only counts if Adam Sessler wrote the review. He actually knows what he's talking about.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Four days to go. Absolutely cannot wait.

Seven for me
Silly (and non-comprehendable) regional release dates... Hell, even the Aussies get it before the UK.

 

[ajemas]

I'll buy it after my SAT IIs in December. I'm putting myself on gaming probation until that's done.
This is going to be a very entertaining Christmas.

Same here. I'm in college now and I totally uninstalled Steam and my various games. Freed up 80 GB of space and I'm getting so much more work done now. Good for you to realize that while you're still in high school!

I considered saying that but the "" in his comment made me think "Not sure if serious" D :
