Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY edition outed by BBFC listing

HAHAHAHA

Why so serious?

831 Son = very fucking witty!

@Ben

Just tell them they won't know the difference and to get the cheap one. Leaves more for us anyways.

:-D

...was the year before.


There, I finished that for you.

I agree completely. Fallout 3 GOTY add ons were as big as the actual game. Of course, this is a Bethesda crap engine game, designed to make additional missions very simple to program in, so of course that game would have tons of additional missions. (not a knock on fallout 3, a fucking good game).

A couple of little maps ain't gonna compete.

I will say this, I never buy games when released anymore. Didn't buy Oblivion or Fallout or Burnout or several others, and I came out way ahead by getting the GOTY.

I get the impression that a lot of games are deliberately cut short (such as Fallout 3's amazingly short main mission that actually renders the game unplayable after winning... unless you pay IRL money). That sucks. No way around it... that sucks.

They said FFXIII has had much of the game cut. Perhaps half. Will there be a GOTY version? I'm going to have to wait it out.

@ Gimboa: I never had a problem with the "ending" of Fallout 3 before broken steel. The game is not linear...if you don't want to die, you just avoid doing that mission!

Definitely sucks about DLC now. Chances are if you buy any DLC for a game (i.e. SFIV, Oblivion, etc.), it will end up in a new version a year later for the same price.

How does it not having as much DLC make it not a valid GOTY edition? They're completely different types of games with completely different types of DLC. Every game isn't going to follow Fallouts blueprint.

petebot,

I didn't know that because I don't spoil games. It was genuinely a very lame moment when I realized I would never get to see what happened in the world of fallout after I cleaned the water.

This was an obvious part of the main game that was left out unless you bought the add on. I had the GOTY, and realized I was OK, but for a sec there, I was pretty annoyed. I'm think fallout 3 is a great game, but the main mission was very short and ended the game. That's simply the truth. Sure, avoid that mission, in a very strange and distracting way if you think about what the character would do, to avoid the game ending.

It made the game materially different on the PS3 for quite a while. It's unfortunate that these strange deals are interfering with game enjoyment. But I'm not really complaining about Fallout. I am just noting that this trend will keep me from buying this kind of game until the GOTY pack is released. Obviously that worked out for me in this case, since I wanted to play the game without googling what would happen after I did this or that mission. If someone bought Fallout 3 on launch, and bought DLC at launch, how much was that game? $100? Let people who are willing to pay that, pay it, and I won't.

Fallout 3 is already a GOTY.

It wil always be a PS3 exclusive and it's free to download so I doubt it will be on any GOTY discs.
Sony paid for that the same way Microsoft paid for the GTA4 Liberty City Stories.

I think that was included with all PS3 versions as a Sony exclusive, so presumably it'd be on the PS3 GOTY, but not the 360 GOTY version.

The Joker levels might make it to the 360, as it was "exclusive DLC" on the PS3, but if it were on the new GOTY, it wouldn't technically be DLC.

I effin hate those fight challenges! Predator challenges were fun though.

yeah, i'm stuck on getting the last fight challenge, shock and awe i think it is? i can get the necessary points i just cant defeat everyone in time. its really annoying. :/

I feel for you mate, Shock and awe extreme is a royal pain in the arse and nearly sent me loopy. When I finally did it I was a happy man.

Keep trying and you'll get there!

Yes, what a great plan. Come, friends, let's all not buy games when they come out in the slim hope that one of them will be good enough to be Game of the Year and we'll get a super package 6-12 months later and pay the same price for some incidental DLC!

Well...

You can install and uninstall at will without downloading, It's yours forever, you can sell it if you want, no licenses to worry about, if there is a bunch of DLC for the game buying the brick and mortar version is almost always the same if not cheaper than the DLC if you bought it separately (Especially in Fallout 3 and Oblivion's case where you can find the GOTY edition 30-40 bucks). Also a disc; did I say disc already? Yeah there is a disc, sometimes 2.

Tep, he said GOTY (Game of the Year) not GOD (Games on Demand).

That said, there IS no point to buying single player games on release day unless the CE/LE has some awesome bonus (like with Blazblue). In 6 months/1 year the game will still be as good, but half the price and (possible) with new features.

It would be the same game as the original as there are no dlc trophies, and the trophies would be the same. However, when playing the game it would say Batman Arkham Asylum: GOTY edition, or something fancy like that.

They do lower the price. You get the game and all addons released for it for the original price of the core game, while the original game's price drops like a stone.

All the add-ons are free....

F yeah! I second this!! I had the stupid thing paid in full before they even mentioned they got rid of the mint metal one!! Jerks.

I got my collector's edition for free doing that viral marketing thing. That was awesome :D

Fuck you guys I can't afford that.

yea I'm still pissed about that "Batarang"
