Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Looks like they Dark Knight-ed the Batmobile. Kinda bummed. Was hoppping for the classic jetcar/wing look I was hoping when it was announced that it would be the one from Asylum. There are supposedly a bunch of Batmobile skins that look like the other versions of the car for the campaign. This is mostly just paint on the same tank model but I've read, haven't confirmed yet, they actually have different Batmobile builds for the separate Batmobile races and challenges and stuff that are more like the different models instead of the tank models. They just couldn't get those different models to fit into the campaign because of all the weapons needed and stuff. It would take a lot of extra design time to add those and make them all fit. However, it wouldn't surprise me if it's just skins all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 GameStop is officially rolling out their retro games trial they started in April. Starting today, you can trade in NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PS1 and Dreamcast games and consoles and they will sell them too. I'm really interested in seeing this take shape as I would love to get my hands on a good SNES and N64. Hopefully the price is right but it's nice to have a national retailer doing this insyead of searching through Craigslist or hobby shops trying to find these systems and games.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 On the other hand, I would totally nerd out of they tossed in a skins DLC pack for Arkham Knight that included 89 Batman, BB, TDK suits and a few others. I loved the different suits they included for AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I desperately wanted to like the skins in AC, but I could only halfway like the early 90's golden belt version. Was never a fan of the old school blue version. Since this is the last Arkham game, I wonder if there will be a Bat Exosuit skin.

Zazzaro703 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I considered the 980 but because I was a beginner I decided the 970 was perfect for me. And honestly it's been awesome. Alien isolation looks amazing maxed out. I want to give DayZ a try but people are just hammering it now. Have you played it at all? I have it but nah not in awhile. I like H1Z1 better at the moment anyways and it has a kickass battle royal mode where you get parachuted into the map and have to scramble around for supplies against like 150 other people. Check it out on twitch if want more info but its pretty awesome. Ark is really good too, same survival concept except there are dinosaurs that are the NPCs that you fight and can even tame and use them as mounts. Only problem is all these games are early access so I tend to get them and not play for awhile coming back after a few months so patches and content are added. Rust is another that is good but again, early access. Sucks all the survival, build you own base games are all early access but man are they fun especially with teammates.That retro thing from GameStop sounds awesome. I had quite the collection of NES, SNES and Genesis games back in the day but when I discovered you could trade in for credit, my jobless early teenage self jumped all over it probably getting ripped off. So bummed about that. One of the things I would do if adult me could advise younger me would be to not trade in your damn games, keep them so can enjoy them on the actual systems later. I'm guessing I'm not alone when it comes to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 So played for a couple hours last night. It's an impressive game. Visually outstanding. I'm still getting reacquainted with the Akrham combat and world. Combat feels like it flows differently than City but it's been so long since I played it I might just be rusty. The intro to the game was really cool as it emphatically squashed one theory. There are enemies everywhere too and it seems like every time you turn around a car full of thugs is trying to run you over. Couple of minor issues, I've already noticed two awful clipping occurrences where a goon got stuck inside a car. I skipped the Day 1 patch download so maybe that has something to do with it. Some of the AI for the baddies is odd. It didn't wow me off the bat anyway. Also, the Batmobile is kinda meh in the first few minutes. I think part of it is because the big gameplay stuff they showed last year is literally the first 10 minutes of the game, so I have already seen it before. At least that means 99% of the game will be fresh to me. I'm still not finished with the hand holding tutorial part though so once the world opens up a bit I'm going to really give it a go. The city isn't as large or as "downtown" as I was hoping it would be. It still feels like the AC kind of area just bigger, with skyscrapers still looming across the water oddly. It's been a really good start though. Nothing like being the Bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Picked up the PS4 Bat Bundle last night. Went to two different Wally Worlds looking for the steel grey version & neither store got it in. At 1:30am I said screw it, save 50 bucks & got the standard edition. Beautiful game so far. Non of the training stuff the last 3 games had, this is straight into the story/game. Currently have the Batmobile stuck on a roof trying to power up an antenna... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Game stop employees persuaded me into picking up the season pass (dudes are pushy as hell lol). What does a season pass do? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My man TK getting his Batman on. Nice job, that's a sweet system, I can see why they went fast. One of the better game edition consoles of the past several years imo. Playing the game more today. Love it. There are so many little details that I didn't pick up at 2:30am lol. The BatMobile is also infinitely better playing today then it was in its first segment last night. The tank battles aren't special but they mix it up enough to not be a pain at this point and incorporating the BatMobile into the combat or for some stylish entrances into fights or going on a chase is fun. Like the previous games but to a much larger degrees, this is just a very well realized Batman world. I like the way you keep up with missions, there are ton of upgrades in combat, gadgets and the Batmobile too. I also like the story synopsis that you can review and it even shows it during the loading screen when you boot up your saved game. Speaking of loading, seamlessly going into buildings, starting cutscenes, ending scenes, leaving building/missions etc without a single pause or skip In the action to load is amazing. It really stands out how seamless and easy it is and makes me think it's going to be a suffer to go through games with loading screens for these same scenarios after playing AK for long. It's too much fun right now and I haven't done a lot of story stuff yet Game stop employees persuaded me into picking up the season pass (dudes are pushy as hell lol). What does a season pass do? Lol Lol they can be. The sesson pass is pretty much just paying for all DLC upfront. You will end up getting it for a little bit cheaper than if you bought it all when the DLC drops and you get access to some things like exclusive preorder bonuses ahead of time too. You still have to wait for all the DLC to release but when you do you already are good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks man I've been out of the gaming loop for last 4-5 years. I want something that I'll play and play for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something that I'll play and play for awhile This should be a good year for that. AK looks like a fairly massive game you can spend a lot of time with. The Witcher 3 is the same. Of course Fallout 4 coming this November is a massive time sink game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always tell something is amiss when reviews come out for consoles, but the PC reviews are held back until release. They are getting flamed over it too as they should regardless of how good the console versions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybrant Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My wife and kids are going to the beach tomorrow morning through next Tuesday. I couldn't get the time off work so I'm going to get a hell of a lot of gaming in this weekend. I'm not really looking at this one as a loss lol. I have my already paid for copy of AK sitting at Gamestop but I haven't picked it up yet. Trying to hold off until tomorrow evening. You guys are making it a little tough.

Pick6 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I was bummed because I didn't get a chance to play any AK last night. Luckily I did get all the launch DLC downloaded and the Day 1 patch (took about 40 mins). If you go to the game page on your PS4 there is New 52 skin pack you can download for free.

Fan since a Fetus Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Picked up my Arkham Bundle yesterday. Long story short, Best Buy owed me some money but they gave me too much. I didn't complain So, my PS4 only cost me $180 after tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yep, wasn't going to say anything especially after it took me 40 minutes to trade in the PS3 and pre-order Arkham, then another 15-20 picking up the pre-order. I was a little ticked with all the time I spent there, but it paid off. I have only played an hour of Batman, but I am really enjoying the Batmobile at the moment. It takes a little bit of getting used to. I would prefer different controls, but it is enjoyable. Quick question since my PS4 manual is in the attic. I have PSPlus, so my games are saved online. Do I have to tell the PS4 it to save online like I did on the PS3? Each time you started a game on the PS3, it asked if you wanted to store your files online, but it hasn't asked me on the PS4. Thanks Oh yeah, PSPlus users get Driveclub tomorrow finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have just delayed the game, tons of people refunded on steam already. I haven't gotten it yet, I saw the smoke from a long ways off. They ****ed up Mortal Kombat port as well. Steam just had their summer sale and I picked up 5 games for I think $27 so ill be busy until they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
