Can't wait!

Beernf · Oct 13, 2011

Most anticipated game of 2011 for me. Cannot. Fucking. Wait.

rikichi · Oct 13, 2011

So gooood

sixteen-bit · Oct 13, 2011

Nice reviews. Can't wait for the GOTY release.

Snuggles · Oct 13, 2011

This game is gonna be terrible.

Luken · Oct 13, 2011

Batman Forever ! I've pre-ordered. Can't wait to play as Batman, Catwomen and Robin !

Darklord · Oct 13, 2011

Is there a date for PC yet? I want this game noooooooooooooow. I can't wait a few more weeks. ;_;

chickdigger802 · Oct 13, 2011

Knowing Jeff, 70% sure GB will be 5 star. 30% 4 star.

LiK · Oct 13, 2011

good scores altho not surprising considering no one in reviews sites can keep their mouth shut on how much they loved it already, lol

Salsa · Oct 13, 2011

9.2?

PRE-ORDER CANCELLED

sajj316 · Oct 13, 2011

This and Uncharted 3 are my most anticipated titles remaining this year. Very few day one purchases compared to previous years so the hype meter is reaching SuperPS3 levels.

Mr. Sam · Oct 14, 2011

Reviewers are a cowardly and superstitious lot.

RPGamer92 · Oct 14, 2011

I have a feeling one of the big places (IGN, Gamespot) will end up giving it an 8.5 for something really stupid :/

Mush · Oct 14, 2011

Damn it, I was hoping I could get away with renting it like I did for Arkham Asylum but this just looks like it's gonna be too good for that.

8.5 is still a great score at Gamespot.

The_Monk · Oct 14, 2011

So far so good, will wait for the next reviews.

For me, it is incredible how much I liked the previous game since I've never been a Batman fan. That only shows how good that game was. Hope this one to be even better!

Ill raise that and say 95% 5 star 5% 4.

There was a rumor floating around that IGN was going to give it a 10.

~Kinggi~ · Oct 14, 2011

The onslaught is coming soon and the fury will be great.

ratcliffja · Oct 14, 2011

I got a free download of the PC version with my new graphics card. I have yet to play the first one despite owning it on Steam, as I had a fairly crappy PC for a while. However, with my new computer, I should be able to play through the first game just in time for the PC release of the sequel in November.

Derrick01 · Oct 14, 2011

Tomorrow isn't going to make my ~1 month wait any easier that's for sure.

iNvid02 · Oct 14, 2011

expect great things

I expect nothing but the best from this outing. Rocksteady is ridiculous.

You and me both, buddy.

Stupid PC delay.

Angry Fork · Oct 14, 2011

Dear Rocksteady,

PLEASE DO A SUPERMAN GAME.

razgriz417 · Oct 14, 2011

Good looking reviews

Maybe I shouldn't have sold my PC copy voucher...

Grisby · Oct 14, 2011

Good. Good.

Superman not as cool but I'm sure that they could come up with something.

Damn, good scores. This just skyrocketed to my must buy list for the season.

Mooreberg · Oct 14, 2011

It will be interesting to see if a lot of the reviews are like GI's, and if so, where that puts the game in top ten lists at the end of the year. I'm glad somebody is focusing on campaign instead of bolted on multiplayer. But then again there are going to be a few games that do both very well.

Combo breaker? We already have a Killer Instinct thread bro.

Can't wait for that embargo to be up, I need my hype pumped up to earth shattering proportions.

HawksWinStanley · Oct 14, 2011

I'm a huge Gears and Uncharted fan and I still think this game will be my favorite game this gen.

Brazil · Oct 14, 2011

Just Platinum'ed Arkham Asylum in anticipation. This one's looking good.

RPGCrazied · Oct 14, 2011

I expect close to 9.5 all around.

You've got to be joking. That has be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

It might be hyperbolic, but I'd rather have them saying it about a fuckawesome action-adventure game than the next bloom'n'brown military shooter.

Just a flashier way of saying the bar has been raised which isn't a crazy thing for a critic to say.

Angry Fork · Oct 14, 2011

GeoramA said:
Rocksteady: No

They're right, but still... =( Just put limits on the abilities, have the storyline say the sun is dying and only at 1/10th capacity as it usually is or something and therefore Superman's abilities are only 1/10th what the comics/movies say they are. Then build a game around that. Make his flight slower etc. all that stuff.

HTuran · Oct 14, 2011

Vire said:
umad?

No, I'm really looking forward to playing it. I just can't wrap my mind around how to judge, say, a non-third-person action game against this. It makes no sense.

Can't wait to see what Eurogamer/Edge/GB say.

hosannainexcelsis · Oct 14, 2011

So much hyperbole.

Hyperbole is the native language of gamers. Both your post and the quote you responded to prove this.
