Infamous + a good Batman trade

**ZarakiKujata** · 2009-09-03 16:45

That's a tough call to make, I think if I was only able to get one I'd probably spring for Infamous, its a much longer game, and imo the story was so much deeper and varied based on your actions. This is not to impugn AA's story as it is really enjoyable too, just more linear since you can only act like Batman would. Also, imo inFamous had some of the most epic adrenaline pumping boss fights evar.

I keep hearing that this game has fantastic game play but lolbossfights. Should I rent or buy it then as I am interested in giving it a play through.

As much as I like this game, I see it having a shelf life of less than a month, and that's 100% on my first file and restarting it on hard just for the trophy. I think it's a really fantastic game, but unless you're obsessed with leaderboard scores I don't think you'll hang on to it for more than a couple of months.

They are supposed to release DLC for this game. Not saying that will greatly increase it's game life but it should justify keeping it longer. Hopefully it's a couple missions and not some more challenge modes. Heres for hoping we get to fight Mr Freeze!

Two playthroughs are what I'm giving this also but I definitely do not regret the purchase at all.

**Auspice** · 2009-09-04 19:10

They're releasing 3 challenge maps but 2 are exclusive to PS3. Bad news about Joker too; he's going to be exclusive to PS3 forever, it's not a timed exclusive. :/ They partnered with Sony for all kinds of extra bullshit on PSN so it'll never come out for 360.

So I'm about to head to the party after making sure I got all previous riddles solved, any tips to get any medals?

DO THE PARTY POOPER TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT BEFORE ENTERING THE BUILDING.

I had to get that one on a subsequent playthrough 'cause you only have one shot at it. It's also a good spot to get the Freeflow 40 one, too.

THIS!

I gave up after dying half a dozen times and didn't feel like replaying the entire game just to get the achievement. Meh :/

Scarecrow mind fucks were amazing. The Morgue had me nervous for a second. Headphones with suround sound with a bunch of voices yelling/whispering at you in the dark. Not fucking cool =\

Great game, was annoyed the joker fight was complete shit tho -.-

**ArchDizzle** · 2009-09-07 09:14

Really great game, took my time with it and just beat my first play through on hard. Loved pretty much all of it, third scarecrow encounter was awesome, and I thought the Joker fight was the way it should have been, not like going toe to toe with Joker would have been a fair fight. Now just need to get the last 30 something Riddler challenges and beat a few more silent predators.

I've been taking it slow through the game so far. I just left the cave and reinfiltrated the asylum. You guys weren't kidding when you said that the thugs with guns will jack you up quick.

It has already been fixed. Don't feel like looking for it though.
