I saw batman caughing and I immediately thought of a scarecrow sequence so I thought it was part of the game. I almost changed my mind when the opening sequence started up but I figured that out soon.

I use a no-intro fix so it immediately fell through.
Shitty eternal darkness ripoff remains shitty.

Scared the shit out of me. I thought that I'd scratched the disk or my 360 had give up the ghost or something. The cries of ultimate suffering were heard far and wide.

Of course, then the cutscene started up and all was right with the world.

I didn't notice him coughing that time, and seriously thought it was a glitch.

But then when the intro started again with the characters reversed, it gave it away because voices had been recorded for that bit.

If they had really wanted to mess with peoples heads they should have just reversed the characters, and left the voices as they were. Batman speaking the Joker's lines would have been enough to convince anyone that their game was broken.

I just said "OMGWTFBBQ GAMESTOP U n00bs" then I saw the skip button had a (j) instead of circle then I was happy again. It took me out of the emmersion.

Yeah, I was getting up to restart my system when the cutscene came on. I was surprised at how well done the Scarecrow sequences were.

I flinched for about a second. But my roommate who was sitting next to me (who was ahead of me in the game) didn't flinch so I figured it was part of the game. It was quite clever though.

I was pissed for a moment, at the thought that either my PS3 had broken, or the new $60 game I was enjoying ever so much crapped out on me.

I thought my 360 was broken first time it did that.

Kudos to Rocksteady for that. It's like the "deleted system data" thing from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

I waited it out, it seemed to suspicious to just conveniently break. Metal Gear Solid 4 easily taught me that :)

Regardless, I thought the Scarecrow sequences were absolutely outstanding. The way they delved into Batman's own questionable sanity and his past really made those portions of the game stand out of any other game I've played.

When you modify your game, you can screw it up. Guess what: You screwed it up. Good job. Don't blame the game for your own "shitty" modification.

I know when a crash is a real crash because my amp switches from Dolby Digital mode to Prologic II mode when it's not receiving a DD input.

Also, I've played Eternal Darkness.

I was at no point considering it! It is a sequence of a surreal nature where Batman is tripping off his tits! Maybe there is a connection there!

For me when I heard the message over the intercom I was left scratching my head for a bit but then when the game screen went to hell I knew right away that I had walked into another scarecrow sequnce. Best use of a batman villan Ever!

One of my friends told me about that part before it happened. Unfortunatly, I forgot he said that and turned off my system when that happened.

I was halfway to my 360 when the game kept going. To be honest I was a little mad at it when it pulled that stunt. I have had 2 360s red ring and that exact thing is what happened to both of them before they crapped out. I was not a happy camper.
