[Multiplatform] BatManhunt: Arkham Asylum

Still can't get the combo system down very well. Any suggestions?

This is basically my problem.

I'll be doing a combo and the next thing you know Batman bitch-kicks some dude from across the map in the face... but it only happens when I don't want it to and it always kills the combo I'm trying to achieve. I can't seem to get higher than 10x.

Please impart your wisdom upon me, sir.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

As much as I like this game, I'm really sour toward the whole "Batman is stuck on a fucking Gears Of War island" thing. Its a pretty retarded game and story mechanic. I'm not saying the sequel should be a sandbox game - Spider-Man 3 attempted that and succeeded and failed for various reasons - but Jesus Christ, so much of the game is just goddamned MacFarlane Toys design.

I wouldn't care what happened in a sequel as long as they brought them back. I will play Batman II: Batman vs the Calculator, Ten-Eyed Man, Crazy Quilt and Kite Man if they bring back Conroy and Skywalker.

While its nice to have them back, something about it feels half-assed. Why did they invite them back and... get a cast of entirely different voice actors for everyone else? Its only Conroy, Hamill and Sorkin that are carryovers from the cartoon series.

I'm all for them getting work and more than all for more good Batman games, but if you're going to hire voiceactors from the series, you should make the game more like that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, well. Brock Peters never got to play Ghost Rider like I wanted, so I guess we can't get everything in life.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, it is what it is with Nic Cage. He has done some excellent work in the past - its just that no one here has seen Lord Of War.

Brock Peters played Darth Vader in a way that made Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet look timid and restrained. Thats exactly what old Flamehead should be about.

FELIPE NO

Bumping this thread.

Finished the game today. I originally didn't care for this game at all (I blame my intense love of DCAU) so I put it down and came back to it and actually got to liking it. I think the fact that you have to "earn" certain things that should be "basic Batman" stuff is what hurt it at the start. But then - crashing through skylights and ruining people's shit in slow-mo by landing on them wouldn't get old either.

The end of this game was pure dick though. Fucking Secret Of The Ooze ending, Joker turns into Super Shredder. Fuck you Paul Dini, thats some lame writing. Also: the ending is the same as Batman Begins. (Also: got Bane at the end)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Lobo is just a comedic, broadly written biker dude.

Batman is basically a self-perpetuating narcicistic serial abuser with an inflated sense of purpose.

Spoiler:

In what has to be the most laughably disturbing comic I've seen in a dog's age, Bruce Wayne is framed for a murder in his own house and he starts going a little bonkers in prison since he can't release his inner tensions by being Batman. The end of the issue shown above has a bunch of cons trying to prison rape Wayne - who brutally beats the whole lot of them within an inch of their fucking lives. When the guards show up, Wayne is standing in the cell, staring catatonicly at the Bat symbol in the night sky.

As awesome as that was, I also knew that basically, Wayne was about a shove away from being Gilles de Rais.

If thats tl;dr then this

Jam it back in, in the dark.
