Zero Punctuation: Batman: Arkham City

[Canadamus Prime]

I still haven't played this yet, you know poverty and all, but to be honest I was skeptical of this game the moment I first heard the title. "Arkham City"? That doesn't even make any sense.

So Yahtzee was totally misinformed. I have all my side missions unlocked. I beat the game. i have two more side missions and all my side missions are done....see I think the Identity Theft victims take pity on you if you don't find them after a while, like the Batcomputer telling you how to beat Freeze if you suck at it.

Normally, though, you can find them relatively soon after the first.

So, , Yahtzee was weirdly misinformed.none of the side missions are locked whatsoever....

its an amazing game. its like you missing ou on skyrim....Arkham CITY is basically what happens when a part of gotham is bordered off and is now a SUPER PRISION 5 times bigger than Asylum....you apparenly dont know who batman is....

I have to wonder, which side-quests get locked off? Cause I never had this problem.

I'm curious about this complaint as well,.[/quote

I think there are some side-quests which wouldn't make any sense if you beat the game (the Mad Hatter one mostly).

"Don't buy pre-owned?" This from the guy who once flogged Gametraders Robina in his Super Smash Bros. Brawl review [/videos/view/zero-punctuation/35-Super-Smash-Bros-Brawl] (although the Robina store doesn't appear to exist anymore)?

I'm not sure who you talked to, or what distorted world view they managed to slip in your Kool-Aid, but trading in used games is not and never has been a problem.

GameStop, on the other hand, are monumental assholes, and should not be patronized under any circumstances.

Amen to this.

Also, is anyone here finding it rather ironic that somebody who hasn't had to pay for a game in 6 years is ranting about how YOU MUST SUPPORT THE PUBLISHERS AND NEVER BUY PREOWNED?

Just saying, buddy, not all of us get all our games bought for us by a company. We actually have to work for our money, and spending $70 for a new game is absolutely ridiculous. Howsabout they stop gouging us for all they can, and we'll consider it.

Sorry to Necro, but Humble Bundle just got me both of these games (Asylum and City) for PC when I'd already beaten them with a buddy on PS3.

Dunno what Ben was bitching about but I have to write; Asylum is a hoot in experiencing a sort of game experimenting with some ideas. City was like they'd now figured it out and were giving us a fan-freaking-tastic experience. If his point was to write that things had not improved, I have to write, he is wrong. City is way better than Asylum. But if you haven't played Asylum you owe it to yourself to have some fun living out the difference.
