Batman: Arkham Asylum

I am very glad that I still had a 1 month card lying around. My weird European duplicate is downloading the map pack as I type.

Would you be willing to share the account? I've used up the 3 trials on my system.

I'm willing, but I cannot for the life of me remember what email I used to set it up. Is there any way to find that information out?

Only thing I could guess would be to log in on the console then go under account management. Somewhere in there it has to show it.

Actually, it's quite all right. I created a UK account. I can wait for a week for it to be available for silver members.

Blew through this a couple days ago, fucking amazing game. I wish there was a harder difficulty to play through on, for my first time through I picked hard which really wasn't and even avoided buying any armor upgrades until the end (which I only did just to have them and then regretted it). Maybe a little too much of me trying to rig the game, but I thought it helped emphasize the feeling of Batman is just a tough guy instead of giving him standard videogame near-invincibility. To that extent I think it really worked, especially when fighting large groups where I had no time to perform combos and could only hit once or twice after each counter before needing to deflect the next guy. It also made me laugh when I tried out challenges that still used the spider-sense from normal mode, felt like silly training wheels.

Tied into that I wish they had gone further with rigging the gargoyles and such. They did that for one room and it made me adjust my tactics entirely - which was pretty exciting - but then immediately afterwards I got to go back to being Invincible Ceiling Man. More pressure to actually use all the tons of shit they put into the environments would've been nice, or even giving the thugs a heightened sense of watching the rafters. I didn't even know you could yank guys off walkways until after I'd beaten the game.

I also kind of wish that there was more incentive to not use detective mode, it reveals so much and is so ridiculously useful but completely destroys the gorgeous texture work going on. Every time I turned it off and saw how good things looked I'd feel bad towards the artists for missing all that good-looking shit, but then I'd flip detective back on and return to hunting skeletons and orange plant bulbs.

But fuck, they nailed Batman so well in this. I am astounded how fucking awesome it really is and am actually sad I do not have more (well, besides challenges) to go back to. Unbearable wait for a sequel.

I'm on my second play through now, it's going to be the first retail game I 1000/1000.

lol. I guess it'll go live later tonight or tomorrow. They just showed the trailer for the Arkham sequel at the VGAs, and that was the URL at the end.
