Good news? Steamworks is infinitely better than GFWL.

For you maybe but not for everyone who games on the PC just like GFWL/Origin/Uplay are not for everyone.........

Just out of interest, those who have pre-ordered from GMG, do they take the money right away or on release date? Thanks

Arkham City - Robin Edition - only available through Game. Here we go again with Store specific deals :/ Are there any other special editions?

Yup:

Collector's edition
A collector's edition of the game is scheduled.[37] The collector's edition includes a Batman statue by Kotobukiya, a collectible art book, a digitally acquired music album "from WaterTower Music including original songs by hit artists", the DC animated film Batman: Gotham Knight, as well as additional in-game content such as an exclusive skin from The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel and an Iceberg Lounge challenge map.

Not sure if the shop you mentioned is the only one selling it though.

EDIT: Collectors edition is available everywhere.

I really dislike store specific editions - will be waiting for a month until this is less than half price

Jed Shields · 6 Sep 2011 at 16:48

Sorry I meant store specific editions, like the debacle with DA and DA2. Game is the only one I've spotted so far.

I know there's a Collectors edition, but that's way too much for me to contemplate.

Will pre-order the robin edition I guess. For the same price as standard you cannot complain.

You get to play as Robin! But only in the challenge maps.

Jed Shields · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:29

Yup, new skin and some Robin specific gadgets and moves. I've pre-ordered the standard edition for £21. The Robin bit isn't worth another £8 to me. Unless Game have any codes that will bring the price down between now and release ...

dante6491 · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:31

Hnmm. Never mind seems they are out of stock. Already, before it is released. Will go in store tomorrow I guess.

Rocksteady claims the world is five times the size of its predecessor. Mr Freeze looks cool in the vid

GFWL for the PC version, not the best news about a sequel to a great game.

You know what's funny...

The original also had GFWL.

Game looks ace. It's not using Steamworks by the way. Would have been known ages ago if it was. Apparently the game is around 40 hours of gameplay. 25 hours main story. 15 hours side quests.

kedge · 18 Sep 2011 at 14:57

Deadshot. Love the originals haha!.

Lol.

PC version delayed till november http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-20-pc-batman-arkham-city-delayed

ic1male · 20 Sep 2011 at 15:19

Hopefully it's to get rid of the craptacular GfWLive and add Steamworks.

Confused · 20 Sep 2011 at 15:41

That will potentially harm the chances of it being in a Steam sale (assuming [hoping] it will be released via Steam, even if it's still a GFWL game, which will be OK to be honest)
