Poll: I'm in a bit of a bind, and I need your help, escapist!

[hazabaza1]

Okay, to cut a long story short, birthday of mine, coming up, August 31st. I can only pick one game. I'm stuck between the new UFC game, or Arkham Asylum. Now, the both look very good, however, I'm looking a a bit for length. But, AA seems like even though it'd be shorter, it'd be a richer, more fun gaming experience. I, personally, have no clue what to do. Help me, escapist.

I'd be open for suggestions as well.

 

[The Blue Mongoose]

Get Arkham. It has Batman.

 

[TheLastCylon]

After trying out both games, I'm gonna have to recommend Arkham Asylum.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Neither. Get Borderlands.

 

[hazabaza1]

Neither. Get Borderlands.

I would be saving up for Borderlands, to get with my own money. However, I will get one of these games on Monday, so I have to make a quick decision.
However, I cannot wait for Borderlands.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I nearly forgot. Borderlands won't be out by then. Hmm, problematic.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Dude, no contest. Pick Batman over UFC any day.

 

[rossatdi]

The Ultimate Fighting Champion ... is Batman. So get Batman.

I was having same problem but with Arkham and WET. I got Arkham today. Been playing it 2 hours and loving it already. Its just so good so far. Ive found several odd glitches but nothing amazingly annoying.

 

[Froobyx]

Batman! If by UFC you mean the recent one released a few months ago.

Go for it if you want blisters all over your hands...

 

[k3v1n]

the Demo of AA is pretty fun, so I'd go with that, although another totally unrelated reccomendation would be BF: Bad company(basically online experience)

 

[pakker]

Neither, get Mass Effect, i know, its old, but that makes it cheaper, and its long, and have replay value.. Else, wait for the christmas releases to start.

but if it was only one of those two, i'd say Batman, not played any of them, but... Its Batman for sexiness sake, how can something that sounds like a beat'em'up/fighting game even get near Batmans utility belt?

Oh, in that case get Arkham Asylum.

I already got ME. I love it muchly.
The thing is, the UFC game is really complex, but I'll probably be getting AA after what I've seen. It seems to be more popular, and would be a richer single player experience.

I voted for neither, but it's hard for me to recommend a game if i'm not sure what your tastes are. As tempting as it is to spout all my favourite games at you, maybe you can tell me what sort of genres/types of games you'll looking for. From what i've heard AA is fairly short, and UFC was a decent game, but you'll enjoy it more if your an MMA fan.​

 

[doomngloom]

I suppose it really depends on whether you're more of a MMA fan or a Batman fan.

Let's be honest, it's an easy enough decision. One features a bunch of half naked sweaty men rubbing against each other. The other features the goddamn Batman.

This guy knows his stuff. Listen to him.

Well, I'm a tricky one. I'm not much into genres, but anything that entertains me. I played both the UFC and AA demos, and while UFC was fun with friend, I tend to be alone. I also like a challenge, so I'll probably put it on a high difficulty, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I think that'll make up for some replay value, and so will the challenge rooms.

I dunno, I'm complicated. I'd be happy to hear some suggestions, however.

 

[Slash Dementia]

UFC: Undisputed way more fun in the demo than in the full game. If you have friends or family that liked the demo and yous will play it often, then get UFC: Undisputed. Also, if you know the fighters. I played before I knew who most of the fighters were and I just got bored quick; then I started following MMA fights and got drawn back into it.
(Online is full of quitters.)

Batman: Arkham Asylum looks as if it will have incredible replay value and over-all was extremely fun in the demo to either watch someone play or play yourself.

 

[messy]

Batman for me personally. I'm not a huge wrestling game fan, good multiplayer though (offline) I always fine so if you'll be playing with mates UFC might be the way to go
