Oh Batman Arkham Asylum!

Oh, it still needs GFWL. Pass.

(Hate that shit.)

Yep, every time I see it on sale, I flip over to the support threads and see the issues people have. And then never buy it.

Fuck em.

You really shouldn't skip any of the Batman games because of GFWL, these games are absolutely amazing and worth of "overlooking" the GFWL crap. Besides, it seems to work better in Asylum than in Arkham City, for whatever reason. That said, I didn't have any problems with GFWL playing through Asylum & City, it signs you in automatically and then doesn't bother you again. I'm more annoyed with the way Darksiders II handles similar stuff, where it wants me to sign up for a useless account at the beginning of the game every time which I happily cancel every time, but I get re-asked again and again. This is annoying as it takes a lot of time to get rid of the dialog again (and the dialog to show up in the first place), for whatever reason. GFWL on the other hand operates mainly in the background and won't bother you again if you don't invoke it (if everything goes right).

I bought a copy of it from ebay a few years ago for $5 or something. The story is confusing but the combat and graphics were good at the time. The voice acting is bad For $1.25, eh? how bored are you

There was an investor's report the other week, and as of December 31st 2012, it was 9.6 million players. It's a drop from over ten million, but apparently that's mainly in China, and the EU/US have remained pretty stable. I think it peaked at 12m, don't recall when that was, year or two ago?

I've avoided WoW for eight+ years.. $5 is tempting, even if for only 30 days.
