Saruman will win this one.

Riskbreaker
Detective mode pretty much breaks the previous game in many ways. If they fix that, and improve the combat system from the clunky button mashing it was this could be truly a great game.

SDAusmus
They've already said that Detective Mode will be altered/limited. I'm very curious about multi-player and co-op and how they would work in this type of game.

IrishWhiskey
I didn't mention the button mashing combat because I thought of that as a flaw that works as a feature. Having the combat suck encourages you to use stealth tactics and ambushes, which is the real point of the game. If you mess up and end up having to brawl, you should be punished without having to die and start over. Still, they could just improve the combat and up the difficulty, and have the same effect.

Riskbreaker
But the game do makes you fight multiple enemies at once. So it's not really an excuse.

Seriously, combat was clunky? Did anyone actually try to get an endless chain?

Riskbreaker
It was nothing but button mashing, the only strategy was pushing triangle here and there to counter.

drcrypt
"Button mashing?" What complete rubbish. Arkham Asylum has one of the most nuanced and sophisticated fighting control mechanisms ever. Just because you didn't bother learning how to do anything besides button mash doesn't mean it wasn't sophisticated.

Riskbreaker
You can't input specific moves, you just press the attack button and Batman thros whatever the hell he likes. Is 100% senseless, i felt the game had potential, but detective mode and the combat kept it from being way better.

Riskbreaker: You are wrong about the combat, you just never learned how to play the game. It's worth going back and actually paying attention when the game explains these things to you, you'll have more fun.

drcrypt
You're completely wrong. It's almost the equivalent of someone saying Street Fighter IV doesn't let you control the moves. You just don't know what the fuck you're doing.

CornOnTheCabre
That and the fact we all know Crazy Quilt is going to be the main villain in Dark Knight Rises.

StanleyPain
Hugo Strange seems to be the strongest contender since Nolan said no Riddler and none of the other more "cartoonish" villains. I can't see who else he can really pick apart from Hush, whose backstory is ludicrously complex for a movie.

Merzbau
He could pick Black Mask, but, well, he fucking sucks, let's face it.

garcet71283
Zaz was already introduced, so there's that.

Actually surprised to hear that Nolan said no Riddler. I thought it would be awesome to see him re-imagined as a serial killer/terrorist type that leaves riddles as his "thing".

cognitivedissonance
The big irony here is that Lex Luthor, as a villain, makes a hell of a lot of sense within Nolan's self-imposed "reality" rules.

But his bullshit falls apart the second the viewer recognizes that Superman also exists in any continuity where Batman exists, barring an Elseworlds scenario.

Harveyjames
If I ever meet Christopher Nolan I'm gonna call him out on that BULLSHIT

But seriously, what happened to this place

cognitivedissonance
JOCKS LIKE CHRISTOPHER NOLANNNNNNNNN BULLSHIT

But seriously, folks.

So, so lame.

spikestoyiu
I also hate fun

Riskbreaker
REAL HARDCORE GAMERS DON'T PLAY FOR FUN!

fluffy
Yeah fuck a game based on how a pre-rendered cinematic trailer looks with absolutely no gameplay footage involved (except that the cinematic was probably made using the same source art assets as what were eventually used for the real time engine).

poorwill
All I'm saying is that what I saw looked like embarrassing crap. Maybe the game will actually be better, but I doubt it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go play Truxton II. See you LOSERS later.

poorwill
:3

Hooker
Wait. I voted based on what this video is. What should I have voted based upon, fluffy?

Hooker
Also, I just want to say that I love voting something less than five stars and leaving short comments, as the things poeTV invariably reads into those comments are bizarre and incredible.

garcet71283
You look really lame!

Harveyjames
Having played the first game, to me it feels like 'fun' was like thing #4 on their developer's checklist after 'allow neckbeards to really play as real Batman from the comics'

fourthguy
Eh, I guess. I've never really cared for Batman or superhero comics in general, but I thought the game was really fun.

Also, Hooker, if you think this looks lame, you must be one really jaded motherfucker.

Hooker
Again, I'm not rating this game. I know nothing about it and care less. This VIDEO is very lame.

oddeye
Although I can't stand comics or batman the video had some pretty effects so 3 stars.

Xenocide
Should have sprung for the limited edition.
