Oh boy, dat cover :lol

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Not a surprise, but I traded in my PS3 copy months ago. Will totally grab for PC.

Edit: Wait. WTF at that cover art.

 

[SykoTech]

Being cheap and patient pays off. Glad I waited.

I hope FFXIII-2 gets a complete edition as well, because there's no way I'm gonna buy all that DLC otherwise.

 

[Brazil]

They're kidding, right?

Were they trying to top Arkham Asylum's GotY cover? 'Cause they did it.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Final chapter? Seems like they aren't going to do more of these story DLC's. The rest is just challenge maps and character skins. Look at that cover! Wow, of course they are going with sucky box art to begin with.

 

[NeoUltima]

Is that box art a joke? That can't be real...

 

[Oni Jazar]

Not a surprise, but I traded in my PS3 copy months ago. Will totally grab for PC.

Strange the ad doesn't even show the PC version or GFWL logo.

 

[Revolutionary]

Holy shit at that boxart. I made a GOTY edition joke mockup a few months ago and aside from the font color, it seems I wasn't that far off.

EDIT: http://i54.************/xn51kj.jpg Seems tiny pic.com (no space) is banned now, but if you paste it in there in place of the ***'s you'll see it. But yeah, I should have focused more on review quotes than content; I would've been spot on.

 

[Veelk]

The Harley stuff will come out as DLC, right?

 

[chubigans]

Absolutely loved Asylum...one of my favorite games this gen.

But for some reason City did absolutely nothing for me. I stopped playing a few hours in for no real reason and haven't gone back since. *scratches head*

 

[Pyccko]

jesus mary mother of god that cover is beyond ridiculous
Do you think they purposely tried to outdo the AA cover?

 

[Orcastar]

That looks more like a magazine cover than a game one.

Hope the European version is classier.

 

[kurahador]

why does the cover...WHY!!!!!

 

[RoboPlato]

Ahahaha. That boxart is atrocious. When is Harley's Revenge out for those of us that already have the game?

 

[SuicidalSteve]

hahaha They must have done the cover art on purpose seeing as though how popular Arkham Asylum was XD

 

[massoluk]

Hahahaha, the box art got WORSE than Arkham Asylum's.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I literally laughed out loud at that boxart. Oh boy.

Will buy for PC though.

 

[SykoTech]

Trying not to look at too much of the trailer just in case it's too spoiler-y, but it looks like all the character DLC and pre-order skins are in. Score!

I see they still haven't learned how to make good GotY boxart though. Goodness.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Absolutely loved Asylum...one of my favorite games this gen.

But for some reason City did absolutely nothing for me. I stopped playing a few hours in for no real reason and haven't gone back since. *scratches head*

I blame it on the open city. Batman's story is best suited in a linear game.

 

[TP]

I'm excited but that was a bad reveal

No PC logo and no info on DLC or price =/

 

[M.D]

Being cheap and patient pays off. Glad I waited.

I hope FFXIII-2 gets a complete edition as well, because there's no way I'm gonna buy all that DLC otherwise.

Sort of.

It sucks that you have to play by yourself, and that the community & discussion around the game are usually dead. This sucks even more when you talk about online centric games.

What's the price on these editions?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

:lol :lol

Strange the ad doesn't even show the PC version or GFWL logo.

I'm hoping it's just something they missed. If not, then I don't mind getting the PS3 version again.

 

[Moaradin]

Holy shit, that box art is like Arkham Asylum GOTY all over again, but WORSE.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Absolutely loved Asylum...one of my favorite games this gen.

But for some reason City did absolutely nothing for me. I stopped playing a few hours in for no real reason and haven't gone back since. *scratches head*

it severely lacks the Metroidvania in 3D feel that Asylums more intimate interconnected environments delivered, but its still a good action adventure game beyond a slow start.

I assume the Harley Quinn's Revenge stuff will also be DLC rather than having to buy the game... again..

 

[udivision]

Sort of.

And people are gonna care less about spoiling games that have been out for longer.

 

[Sendou]

First box art to make me laugh for a while... Seriously there is a limit on how much text you can put on a cover until it becomes ineffective even from a marketing point of view. And it looks absolutely ridiculous.

 

[90sRobots]

Hahahaha that box art is so sensationalistic. Looks like an ad for a well-received movie in the newspaper.

 

[Plasma]

Will be picking this up on Steam once it goes on sale, got the original on the 360 and have been holding off buying the DLC because it was inevitable they'd wrap it up into one package eventually.

EDIT: Or maybe not, no GFWL logo, hopefully they just forgot to put it on there.

 

[The Hermit]

They're kidding, right?

Were they trying to top Arkham Asylum's GotY cover? 'Cause they did it.

 

[BD1]

Good lord, that cover!

 

[TheBioLover]

Will the new DLC be available separately?

 

[Kinyou]

They're kidding, right?

Were they trying to top Arkham Asylum's GotY cover? 'Cause they did it.

lol, they really did

^that thing looks subtle in comparison.

 

[The Elite]

Wow, they're almost trolling with that cover art after what they did with the first game.

Also, it wasn't GOTY.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

What the fuck is that box

 

[RPGCrazied]

Thank god I have the original release/cover, clutter free. I have no desire in challenge maps, since it adds 0 to the story. I'm almost positive they will release the Harley episode by itself, they would be pretty stupid to not sell it on its own. I'm guessing $9.99.

 

[Stallion Free]

What the fuck, I was expecting some episodes, not just a single DLC expansion. I wanted more content to ease the pain of waiting for a sequel

I'm super hyped for this stuff though.

Man watching that trailer brought up so many great memories of playing through that game.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm so fucking hyped for this. I'm about to pass out.

STORY DLC !!

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Fuck, I just ordered Arkham City for PC off Amazon 4 days ago!

 

[glaurung]

Fuck, I just ordered Arkham City for PC off Amazon 4 days ago!

I just bought the PS3 version when it was on sale.

*throws stuff

 

[Tenck]

Will buy on Steam, so I don't have to look at that cover. *shudder*

 

[Gravijah]

playing through aa for the first time right now. i wish it had that harley quinn.

 

[raphier]

Not a surprise, but I traded in my PS3 copy months ago. Will totally grab for PC.

Edit: Wait. WTF at that cover art.

Note: No PC logo or cover shown at all.

 

[Kinyou]

What the fuck, I was expecting some episodes, not just a single DLC expansion. I wanted more content to ease the pain of waiting for a sequel

Yeah I was hoping for that too. Many of the story archs seemed like set ups for a DLC.

Now we'll have to wait a year or two for the sequel :/

 

[Rahxephon91]

Well I don't usually buy GOTY editions, but this game was so good I may think about it. Especially if the Harley Quin stuff is worthwhile. Hope it has more Catwoman.

 

[Moaradin]

Note: No PC logo or cover shown at all.

The game is already on PC. The only thing that isn't is the new DLC, so they would be pretty dumb not to add that.

 

[MikeE21286]

Have an unopened copy for 360 I bought last week.

Might just wanna keep it and buy the DLC instead of having that absurd box art...

 

[Stallion Free]

Note: No PC logo or cover shown at all.

Literally every single piece of content for Arkham City has been released on PC thus far, I see no reason why this would suddenly change.

 

[Struct09]

Holy crap, they managed to outdo Arkham Asylum's GOTY edition box art

 

[Sojgat]

Is the DLC on a disk or is it just packed in codes?

 

[Haunted]

I can't tell what's behind all that text on the box art. Seems like... some kind of mask? A masked person? Hard to tell, really.
