Anyone else excited? Answer the poll to get us started. Who's picking this one up?

 

[used44]

Anybody read the Arkham City tie-in comics? Preeetty good.

 

[danielrbischoff]

Yeah. Much better than I expected. That's Dini for you. Goddamit I love the Animated Series Batman.

 

[WickedLiquid]

ooooOOOooo this game will be awesome!

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Fingers crossed, this ends up being my bday present. I've been reading some Batman comics to gear up. Should probably pick up the tie-ins.

 

[Green_Lantern]

Will wait for either Christmas or it hits at least 30

 

[used44]

The Digital Exclusives are really cool too. Little tales showing what other characters are doing in the new city. The Catwoman one is cool.

Don't you have a little girl on the way? Won't she cut into daddy's game time? And comics time?

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Yes, but I'm having a new baby not moving to a monastery.

 

[danielrbischoff]

Yes, but I'm having a new baby not moving to a monastery.

Why not both?!

Is anyone else going to do a shit load of exploring before diving into the main story? I usually drive around for two hours in the beginning of GTA games.

 

[tinymhg]

Yes, but I'm having a new baby not moving to a monastery.

:? I thought your wife was having the baby.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Dammit, I can't win with you, tiny!

 

[danielrbischoff]

Guys, guys! What about Batman's baby?

 

[tinymhg]

Dammit, I can't win with you, tiny!

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Guys, guys! What about Batman's baby?

Everyone knows that Damian Wayne was a horrible character.

Superheros shouldn't have children.

 

[used44]

Finally preordered. I went with Amazon, because the $10 credit has more value than Best Buy's DLC (will cost me $7 later) and I already had $20 credit thru Amazon from preordering GOW3, so the price was right.

Bonus: an exclusive print version of the previously digital-exclusive Paul Dini mini comics. So yeah I already own them and have read them digitally, but that's still a cool bonus that I actually have room for on my shelf. Here's hoping for a full TPB-quality paperback (dream on)!

 

[daverabbit]

Unless someone gets it for me for Xmas, I'll probably wait for the GOTY edition.

 

[danielrbischoff]

We still haven't received a review copy. Why do publishers hate us?



... maybe it's because we grade lower than the majority.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Maybe they're jealous of how cool you are, Danny.

Also, can I just say how excited I am that Nightwing's existence in this game is confirmed by his DLC.
