... yet I'm on the verge of cancelling my pre-order for the CE because of all the DLC-milking that's already been announced.

I think I'd probably be better off with buying a bunch of other games from the bargain bin (AC Brotherhood AND Deus Ex 2 AND ICO/SoTC AND some XBLA/PSN games), instead of wasting a small fortune on the CE and then having to spend even more money on all the DLC.

I think I'll wait for a GOTY-edition or at least a severe price-drop.

omi25p4639d ago

I was getting the CE for £37.99 But decided to cancell that and get the Robin edition for £16 just because of all the cut content. I wish i had done the same with Gears 3.

Don't say such things at arkhamcity.uk.co cause they'll beat you for such words. Oh wait I think you already did. And I agree with you.

Yi-Long4639d ago (Edited 4639d ago )

... but so far, the response has been OK. Luckily. :)

Not that I would have cared much if they had attacked me over it, cause I can handle that, but I'm glad the discussion hasn't really gone down that route... (yet?)

Some will agree with me. Some won't. That's never a problem.

WANNAGETHIGH4639d ago

This article is pointless. We alerday know the game is AAA qualiity. Best superhero game ever,I liked the spider man games on PS2 but this is the best.

TheFirstClassic4639d ago

People who don't keep in touch with most gaming news might not know much about it. Someone might just hear about it, get interested, and google it to see if it's any good.

UltimateIdiot9114639d ago

Me too, I really really want to buy it Day 1 but I couldn't justify with all the DLC milking. I just can't put my money down on something like that even if it is Batman.

Bruce Wayne would be disappointed at this kind of business model.

I am going to wait for the GOTY edition for a more complete experience especially since in the next 4 weeks, I'm going to be get 4 different games.

Pintheshadows4639d ago

Deus Ex 2 should be really cheap. It's been out for years.

Being a huge comic fan and big fan of the franchise, it's the top of my list.

Rampaged Death4639d ago

I can't wait for this. It's an open world kick ass super hero game and it's long too.

lance424639d ago

I wanted to hate this article because I saw it was from IGN...but it's so well-written and I agree with most of it. I think Nolan's Gotham is awesome though, just because it is supposed to be a more realistic Gotham, not the one from the earlier Batman films.

LarVanian4639d ago

Nolan's Gotham in Batman Begins was the perfect Gotham in my opinion. It had the big, dark, dirty, gritty and corrupt look and feel needed for Gotham City.
I'm not sure why he did it, but for The Dark Knight, Nolan turned Gotham into a big clean utopia that looked almost identical to Chicago. It pretty much lost most of it's identity from Begins.
That said, I'm looking forward to seeing how Nolan will portray Gotham during winter in TDKR.

Biggest4639d ago

To be fair, Batman was kinda kicking ass in between movies. Furthermore. . . Chicago is hardly a clean utopia.

LarVanian4639d ago

Well I didn't directly say that Chicago was a clean utopia. In certain shots, such as the aerial views, Gotham looked quite a lot like Chicago, and in other shots the city looked near spotless.

Pintheshadows4639d ago

A lot of Gotham in the Dark Knight was just Chicago. They hadn't even attempted to disguise it.

On another note I hope they have a mode that, whenever you hit someone words like Sock, Kapow and Bash appear the screen.

Bought a second GTX 580 the other day and got a Steam code for this sucker with it!

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

RaidenBlack251d ago

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

anal_vegan_moans250d ago

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

GhostScholar250d ago

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

Ezio2048251d ago

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

Tacoboto251d ago

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

darthv72251d ago

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Zeke68250d ago

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv72250d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.

GaboonViper251d ago

And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.

BehindTheRows251d ago

From the same folks who gave it a 10/10 no less.

Aloymetal251d ago

You know that train is never late.

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 358d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama358d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto358d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius358d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012358d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda358d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
