Can't decide whether I will pick Flying, Speed running or Acrobatics. Flying looks epic but acrobatics unlocks gliding and hovering that almost looks like flying plus they have a class grappling hook to scale buildings. Then speed runners can run up buildings and shoot off the top of them and glide around! Game looks so class.

If you're ranged get flying and if close combat get one of the other 2, i plan on getting acrobatics and had a evil batman with it.

But just making the hero you want rather than trying to make a perfect character is fine with this game, as you can always reset points(can't remember if you can change movement).

Ya I was thinking a batman meets punisher character with dual guns. If you pick dual guns, can you switch to dual swords for melee? Gonna go with a cap as well but the wings look class as well. Although, depends when this comes out in October as I will be spending a lot of time on Arkham City.

quite a fun game when i played it, teleporting people to me without their permission as i am mid air :pac:

Thanks Varik. I'll contact them and see what they say. Is it just me or everyone and their Mother a GL now?

How can I fulfill the find and defeat 5 new enemies missions? This one is a bit confusing.

You can unlock a second weapon skill later in the game (about level 15 I think) so yeah you could switch. Now if this is the kind of thing restricted to "Premium" accounts......anyones guess.

Im getting a massive download time. Its been half an hour and all that's downloaded so far is 4%.

Zero-Cool

Jaysus!!! This will never be downloaded since the downloader pauses when you are playing other games. Ah I will prob get it sometime next week. Batman is keeping me going with those riddler trophies for the time being.

Yeah, I gave up and started playing Arkham city instead. It's probably the better game anyway. I was looking forward to the character creation in this though. Might try an overnight download.

Gunmonkey

Its a big game alright, but almost all the main quests have full voice work so that fills up a lot of room quickly.

Been looking for an MMO to play on the side, and really enjoyed DCUniverse but wasnt enough in it to pay a sub each month.

Started downloading mysel at about 02:00pm. Only 4gb out of 14.3gb complete. Should be complete over night I guess.

Played this at Beta and quite enjoyed it but did not want to commit to sub at launch.
