yes, this is awesome, this is definite gold man, you should permanently set this on classic radar when it gets a month old

@LawlingLobstaFTW I assume you're being sarcastic, so did you not notice the large "SPOILERS AHEAD" graphic with bold exclamation points at the very beginning of the article?

LOL @ Brooks comments. I take it you all read the first paragraph. Yes, I'm not that into them. Sue me.

Paul Ryan, writing from beyond the grad school grave!

Haha, no, you're completely entitled to your opinion. It divided the office a little too - I was more critical than most.

A whiny fanboy, me? That's a first! I think I explain well enough how the combat and co-op are entertaining enough to make it a solid, fun game, which deserves to be called "great," but that I didn't find it mind-blowingly compelling. lol lets flam war.

How tiltillating.

"Hmm. Being an Australian gamer, I would have rather you said the Australian Government is backwards, not Australia."

Hyperbole for comedic effect. ;) I also believe that the US is incredibly backwards in many areas. In fact, I think we're full of stupid over here. No offense intended.

I really like Fable. That may partially be because I hadn't really heard much of Molyneux's hype about it, and just liked it for what it was, rather than what it was supposed to be.

The idea of an isolated area similar to the first game is probably necessary, but I really want to see Rocksteady's take on Gotham City, so I would love to see at least part of the game there. Even if it is only an intro fight or final boss fight, it would be nice to see the Dark Knight in his element.

As far as villains, they really do have lots of choices that they set up in the first game. Personally, I could see Two-Face, The Penguin, or Scarecrow being the main villain, with lots of minor villains similar to the first game. Scarecrow would actually give the developers an excuse to have a portion of Gotham "quarantined" which would be the isolated area they need to have the feeling of the first game, but with a new setting. Also, seeing as how Batman uses fear so much, he makes an interesting villain to play off of.

An entirely new villain created for the game would be interesting as well, though I don't know how well that would tie in with all of the existing villains sure to show up.
