    It's been a couple days, so I don't remember for sure, but I believe if you go into the menu in Arkham City and look at the actual game statistics, it will split up the percentages and show you the actual percentage of the story that is complete, the percentage of side quests, riddler trophies, etc. and then total completion. I thought that was a pretty nice touch.

    Right now I've mostly been just wandering around the city looking for riddler trophies, destroying Tyger security cameras, and beating the shit out of some thugs. Nailed a 50+ combo the other day for an achievement.

    No kidding. Seeing how Arkham City is going so far, I don't even know if I'll be able to get to Uncharted before Skyrim comes out. I've already warned The Girlfriend but I don't think she fully understands how much that game will consume me once it's out.

    No shit. I just saw that and came here to post something about it. Deus Ex, Batman and now this, with Skyrim just around the corner, plus Dark Souls and AC: Revelations in the background along with BF3/MW3. It's a good time for games.

    Maybe the best time ever. I'm so excited about everything I could pee. I'm so happy about the amount of vacation time that's available.

    360 degree BF3 simulator that allows and tracks full actual motion and shoots back.


    I shouldn't need to say anything else.

    Got it last night. God damn this game is awesome, way better than the beta let on and none of the retarded bug issues either. The single player sucks, but who gives a shit?

    Maybe the Xbox version is different, but I got bored after 2 hours and turned it off. Running three minutes to get into the fight only to get shot in the face by some camper halfway across the map? No thanks.

    I'll be selling my copy of BF3 tomorrow. November 8th can't come fast enough.

    You also getting CoD? Playing with you made BO enjoyable due to all the random shit you'd shout into the mic. November 8th can't come soon enough now that my girl is losing her mind. I can't wait.

    I've heard nothing but shitty reviews from friends so far on BF3.

    I'll be picking up MW3 on it's release date, playing it hard until AC:R comes out, and then back to it once I'me done with Ezio.

    Fuck what ya heard man, BF3 is BOMB. Dogfighting. Base jumping off a cliff to your next objective. A bipod that is an actual bipod, when you deploy it on a window you become a beast, until a rocket blows the wall to shit. Running like hell to defib an engineer teammate, because theres a tank rolling up and only he has the rocket launcher to take it out. And thats just the first map...

    I don't know why everyone is hating on Battlefield 3. I loved the beta and the retail version, despite being the buggiest game ever, is a lot of fun. I can't fly any aircraft for shit but the LAV and tanks are amazing if you run engineer and have a competent machine gunner. Then again, I may only be having this much fun because I've been mvp with a minimum of 20 kills a game for the last 4 hours. The only downside to PS3 (the version I got it on) is that its 24 player maximum... kind of small for these huge maps. It especially sucks having played Caspian Border on the PC beta with 64 players.

    Add me on PS3 if you wanna play with some squadmates that aren't retarded. The squad system is really bugged right now though, teams get split, put on opposite teams or even in different games. Additionally, sometimes we can even hear each other talk.

    I picked up the PS3 version of battlefield today as well. Opened the box to discover I get early access to the Mass Effect 3 Beta, and then started the game to find there are dedicated servers. Nice.

    Did anyone else spawn in a jet, turn on the engine, and then crash before you even left the ground? ...I need to practice before I join games with anyone, but I'd definitely up for it in the future.

    I really want to finish Dark Souls before Skyrim comes out so I don't have any conflicts. I'm through most of the game but am kind of dreading the Duke's Archive and Crystal Caverns. I'm actually going to try to get the Moonlight Greatsword from Smeag but I have a feeling it's going to be a bitch as a spear using sorcerer.

    I just finished that area. Duke's Archive isn't that bad, it is the fucking invisible walkways in the crystal cavern that can suck my balls. Especially the one that circles around and isn't just a straight path. What level are you? I can head back that way and help you out if we're near the same level.

    I'm right around SL 70. I've already done the Tomb of Giants and Lost Izalith and was planning on this area before hitting up New Londo. Probably not going to play again until Saturday though.
