I haven't played the game either.
 
Waiting to see if I get it for Xmas.

He mentioned that he's started playing it in this week's Bombcast.
 
Carry on.

Hold on, you complained about how Batman should of won GOTY awards over Uncharted 2 and you haven't even played it?
 
Ok now i understand.

Yes, but Batman isn't gimped. 
 
And I am planning on playing it.

What do you mean gimped? "

I seen the game is only $35 used at Gamestop now.  Maybe I will get it some time after Christmas.

I can tell you haven't seen his posts in the other threads. "

I will never play that game, looks really boring.

I am being serious here.  Either this guy is like 11 years old, or he suffers from some sort of mental disability.

Some people just apparently live to troll. I have not said one bad word about this game, in fact I think it should be GOTY (that or Demons Souls)  What the hell is your problem? "

Umm... the fact you feel it deserves GOTY and you haven't even played it doesn't strike you as odd? Well I suppose it wouldn't or you wouldn't be thinking that in the first place. Hence the notion that you're 11 years old or suffer from some sort of mental issue.  I think Halo Reach deserves GOTY, myself. I haven't even watched the trailer and I don't even like Halo, but someone I know says it looks siiiiiick. "

I cast my vote for Duke Nukem Forever as GOTY...  *Dons sunglasses* ...Forever.  YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! "

I rented Arkham Asylum from Netflix. Even though it is definitely a great game, I just don't think it's as good as InFamous, MW2 or Uncharted 2.

Arkham Asylum is the best comic-book based video game I have ever played, and that's including MUA, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc.
 
I don't think it's GOTY material given the quality of other stuff in 2009, but considering what I EXPECTED it to be, it was fucking incredible.
 
I replaying it on hard now because it's that awesome.

In before purposeful discussion.

"It deserves GOTY because it's a complete game, not a half-assed release with unncessary modes or an incomplete release with half the game as DLC.  *That* is why it deserves GOTY.   And using "sick" as an adjective makes you sound like a retard. "

Uncharted 2 deserves GOTY because it's a complete game, not a half-assed release without any sort of competitive or co-operative multiplayer.  *That* is why it deserves GOTY.  Oh, and "sick" is an adjective even when you use it the "proper" way. Not knowing that makes you sound like a retard.  See how easy it is to make stupid arguments? "

what does gimped mean?

Let's pretend you have a sandwich.  That sandwich comes with a pickle.  The pickle doesn't even touch the crust, there is no pickle taste on the actual sandwich.  The sandwich is awesome.  The pickle is also good, though you don't like pickles so you can't appreciate it.   
 
Does this a) Make the pickle + sandwich combo a worse meal than an equally good sandwich by itself or b) mean that both of these options have, at worst, equal utility to you? 
 
I made this analogy about food because I realize fully that I am feeding a troll.

It depends whether the pickle was supposed to be in the sandwich while it was being made and whether I am charged for that pickle or not.

" It depends whether the pickle was supposed to be in the sandwich while it was being made and whether I am charged for that pickle or not. "

If the restaurant wants a returning customer, they should all they can to make them feel appreciated. 
 
Nickel and diming them for condiments and garnishes is not going to do that.

But at the end of the day it is the restaurants choice as to what is included in the meal - saying that you deserve something to be included in the original is NOT how it works, and if that's how you view something as trivial as games- you are gonna shit yourself in the real world matey

Considering what we're paying for games now $60 in US - *$70* in Canada - it is not too much to ask that a third of the game (or more) not be DLC.
 
That is really not unreasonable.

but its not a third of the game 
 
its a third more added to 100% of the game

Um -
 
Dragon Age Origins?
Fallout 3?
Prince Of Persia?
Assassin's Creed 2?
Resident Evil 5?
 
Those were not complete games. 
That was stuff that was either deliberately held back or locked on the disc (RE5)
 
There is no good reason for those sorts of shenanigans.

All of those gb's of data i downloaded from fallout 3's DLC- was already on the disc?

Death Tank on XBL, play it.  GOTY

" Um -  Dragon Age Origins? Fallout 3? Prince Of Persia? Assassin's Creed 2? Resident Evil 5?  Those were not complete games.  That was stuff that was either deliberately held back or locked on the disc (RE5)"

Fallout 3 had ending changing DLC. That game was not complete.
 
Assassin's Creed 2's DLC is coming out at such a short period after the game's release, there is no way that it is not content that has been held back.
 
Those games were incomplete.

• Just cut the content.
• Release it as DLC.

Of the games I have played this year I would give AA the nod for GOTY. It tells a great story. The atmosphere and visual style are spot on. Overall the experience beats any Batman movie I have seen by far.
 
And then of course, there is the game play. Which is just, for lack of a better word,  tight. And fits the theme of the game perfectly. 2 examples
Batman doesn't kill - check
Batman needs a button mapped to "jump" like super mario -hell no
 
InFamous was a good game. I still play it from time to time, but come on. The game play and especially the combat is nowhere near Batman level. Actually I wish they had pvp in AA. That would just put it way over the top.
 
Uncharted? Meh. Played the first. Got bored. Too mainstream Hollywood. Zero attitude. Doesn't interest me and is too run of the mill to deserve GOTY.
 
Demon's Souls? Yum, my personal fave of the year, but a niche product and way to hard effin core to play with the big boys.
 
So Batman AA seems like an edgy enough choice with lots going for it. I would have liked to see it win.

He thinks that just because they had multi-player in Uncharted 2 the single-player campaign was gimped somehow. I don't agree. "
