Hyped by W3. However the lack of gameplay footage up to this point is upsetting. Don't think they have the confidence to show it just yet, just tiny bits and cutscenes.

BW has done a good job so far in getting a clear feel of their new game for the public.

@GreySeal9: Then why do you find GoW boring? its just hack'n'slash with great graphics&cheesy greek story.

@cooolio: He's talking about circa:2007 when it was released it was really overrated and i agree with him... i am guilty of overrating that game but can you blame me? it was kinda unique for its time.

Left 4 Dead, at least the console version anyway. It only had like 3 short missions and that was it, not worth $60.

Halo ODST was the same way, I don't understand how it got such high reviews.

The first Assassin's Creed game and GTA 5 were also overrated IMO.

BioShock Infinite, good gameplay but the story line was a mess and none of the choices you made had any real impact on the story. It's the same ending every time regardless.

Yes I will buy Metal Gear 5 The Phantom Pain when it is released in Dec 2014. I have a feeling that this game will end up being delayed until 2015. But I will buy it, even if this ends up happening.

@MirkoS77: Who's being punished? I've said this so many times, the publishers are the ones who get paid by the sale- the devs are paid for their work. And after single handedly minting a whole new genre(or at least revolutionizing an old one), and regardless of how Arkham Knight works out, do you think they'll have any trouble getting signed on with any publisher out there?

Y'know, though, now that you mention it, there is a reason I have to be tired of the Batman games- you know I'm not a Batman fan, right? Never have been, at least not more than watching a movie and worshipping the old Batman: TAS when I was a kid. No, in all of the Arkham games to date, the story was always the weakest part. It was always a nuisance I put myself through in order to unlock all of my superbitchin' moves.I've got near 3 hundred hours in the game and only ever completed one play through. The problem with AO was that it was AC all over again, but 90% of the changes were bad ones and it was executed so poorly that even the combat from AC wasn't enjoyable. And the the new martial artist enemy(the one good addition to the franchise), it really should have been.

@MirkoS77: I'm not laying the blame at Rocksteady's door; I'm putting it on WBIE. They were the ones who felt the need to pump out a half assed sequel rather than letting Rocksteady complete their work in peace. They knew that the Arkham name would sell megabucks and, I'm assuming, counted on the Rocksteady name to recover the series' rep after the debacle. For you and Coolio, it seems to have worked, but it won't work on me. Now, I'm not saying I'll never buy it- what I'm saying is that it won't induce me to buy a next gen system just to play it. If I had been starved of the series since AC, I absolutely would have.

As far as my interest in the series, I will admit that of all the different permutations of the combat system I've played since Arkham Asylum, the Arkham series is no longer top dog. But that doesn't mean I'm tired of it- I still keep Arkham City on my standby list and play it every month at least.

I find it just as confusing that you don't feel that it harmed the brand as you do that I think it did.
