[Official] Batman: Arkham Asylum


Recommended Posts

yeah poison ivy is frustrating. just keep running back and forth while throwing batarangs. they still hurt her when the plant is closed.

I forgot about this . Gonna try it too.

For those that have beaten the game there are 3 different endings, but I think they are all random. You can find them on Youtube. I got the croc one which I think is by far the scariest one.

Awesome game, I'm trying to get all the riddles done. I hope we can get some DLC costumes in the future. They should have added some in to unlock throughout the game from the start like Spiderman on the Playstation.

I got the Bane one. But it's nothing really spectacular.. lol.

Finally done all of the riddler's challenges! and got the world's greatest detective achievement! one set of teeth..up the top of the pump control room..grrr :D

Some of those Challenges were really a pain. lol.

it's a good game, especially if you enjoy comics. there's a lot of texture to it, tons of details and extra stuff to find out. you'll be a Batman afficionado by the time you finish this. in terms of gameplay it's also good, and the writing and voice acting are superb. i must admit the third Scarecrow sequence was one of the most memorable "wow" moments on gaming record. plus, i'll be saying "and at the edge of fear, AH-blivion" for years to come...

in short, get it, i'd rate it a good 8/10.

Mini review coz I just finished the scenario 10 minutes ago) :

- Excellent game.

- Minor flaws here and there

- Excellent graphics

- Excellent use of all the batman's gadgets.

- A lot of "ZOMG! moments"

- Scenario a bit short

- Excellent game !!!!11&!!! (ok , I said it twice :) )

- A lot of background infos ( find all the tapes, it's really worth it )

- Top notch voice acting ( all the original english cast is here : Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Ron Perlman ... )

- Worth buying without a doubt !!

the poison ivy boss fight reminds me of the mother hive fight from prototype...i.e tedious and boring, not to mention hard. why they had to put this in an otherwise very intelligent and smooth game is unclear to me. could have made it more interesting, at least.

Mother Hive was ridiculous though. Doesn't compare to the Ivy fight.

yeah in the end it wasn't as tough, and the joker fight was a touch more fun. not really a fan of prolonged, overly-big boss sequences, they're not fun to me because they break the flow of the game. but forgiven in light of the scarecrow parts, textbook example of how to do a boss guardian.

I'm pretty much at the joker fight I think...I'm currently at the part where you fight his two big venom powered beast guys along with an army of regular goons.

It's an excellent game, it's just I regret playing on Normal difficulty as Easy would've been a breeze to finish :p

How PhysX Makes Batman: Arkham Asylum Better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcWJLLwyAxQ.swf

Now that many of us have experienced Batman: Arkham Asylum on the console, let?s see if it was worth delaying the PC version to add support for NVIDIA?s PhysX technology.

The verdict? While it certainly doesn?t seem to effect the gameplay, little touches like the flowing of his cape, the swirling of debris, and the way those banners flutter when you toss a batarang through them should help make the experience just a bit more immersive. Is it worth a three week delay? I?ve a feeling that once PC gamers have the game in their hands the delay will be completely forgotten.

The paper on the ground looks cool as!

This game seems like the game you would play on PC with a controller f:p sure :p

I finished it this past weekend. I liked it. The Joker fight wasn't as satisfying as some of the other boss battles. I think I played the "Running from the Croc level 20 times before I finally got past that. I love moving from Gargoyle to Gargoyle and invertedly taking down baddies from them. Anyone figure out that you could use your batclaw to pull baddies down into the abyss? (in the corridor where you use your vertical bat-gadget to cross the abyss, after I believe you leave Ivy's lair and they are waiting for you out there?)

I did notice that some bad guys were left out (Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Riddler, Catwoman, etc). Maybe they'll show up in the sequel? The Scarecrow scenes were interesting, but I thought they could have left them out. I didn't care for those types of levels in Max Payne.

All in all, I was impressed.

I just finished it again in hard, but I didn't get the different ending. I got the same Joker ending, still good though. :D I just need about 100 more riddles to do and then I am done with those. :D

How the hell do people get 35 seconds on the silent takedown challenge?

This game seems like the game you would play on PC with a controller for sure :p

damn.. I thought the console versions have physx. Don't they?

I got another question.

How do you take down the titan infected guys without a baterang? It is a trophy. :p

What I did was once they're close to the wall I tried hit & run tactic. Also I concentrated on one rather then both of them, after one of them is dead the use baterang on the other.

Also hunker down if you’re trying it on hard, it may take a while.

I am stuck.

After escaping the sewers and going back to the Batcave, I am now trying to get back into the Botanical Garden. I am outside with those three pillars. I found the Riddler's "?" but I can't figure out for the life of me what to do on the 3rd pillar to get back up. What am I missing?

Nevermind....I was blind (as a bat). :p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
