12 Minutes of Arkham City, Happy 4th!

Arkham City Gameplay Trailer

This is a few days old at this point, but a twelve minute gameplay trailer for Arkham City was released.  Generally, it looks FUCKING AMAZING.  While not perfect, Arkham Asylum is my favorite game of all time. I'm hoping in Arkham City, there is less of an emphasis of crawling through air conditioning vents.  Time and time again, one finds themselves crawling through vents.  The whole "sneaking through a vent" thing is horribly cliche and lazy.  I can handle it one or two times, but after the 20th time, it gets a little stale.  I also felt some of the "rhino charge" style boss fights were uninspired.  Other than that, its a fucking amazing game!

From the video, my one complaint would be a kind of lame one.  I feel the dialogue, particularly Catwoman's is really cliche.  I understand her character is a "bat-the-eyes," frisky type, but the whole "nine lives" thing pisses me off for some reason.  They can do better, I know they can.  The game is going to be awesome though.

Happy 4th!


My life is a piece of shit, hope yours is better!
