I really enjoyed the visuals, and almost everything about the demo, except I found the combat akward. It might be because I just completed Arkham Asylum (a little behind on my batman gaming) and got used to the extremely fluid combat mechanics...I just found myself getting hit whenever I wound up an attack...is the final game the same, or has combat been tweeked?
I've no issue with online pass; if I buy a game used the developer doesn't just lose a couple dollars; they get nothing while the retailer pockets $30 or more. And if a game is sold used more than once that's multiple sales the developer loses out on.
Support your devs, buy new or buy online pass. Otherwise it's just going to get more expensive for newer titles.
I think the big problem is that many people misinterpret beta as 'demo' or 'preview' not a testing piece. I do wish that EA/DICE had made that more clear in general.
That being said, I'm glad this article was posted; the things it says are cleared in the final release are the exact issues I have with the beta!
