I finished Batman Blackgate last night. Took about 8.5 - 9 hours. I am guessing it will be 11 maybe 12 for full exploration completion. Overall, I liked it a lot, definitely worth playing. Cool ending too. Some of the coolest and most memorable bosses on Vita I have experienced for sure.

I've read your impressions, so question: how did you find the combat ? I've read some negative stuff about it, mainly using Btman console free flow combat on a 2d plane. I'm thinking of either buy batman or renewing my PS+ subscription ^^.

In other news, vita made a hold in sales. 24K(last week 25k) . and this

11./10. [PSV] Dangan-Ronpa 1-2: Reload (Spike Chunsoft) {2013.10.10} (¥5.229) - 10.459 / 96.162 (+10%)


The combat is fluid and fun and comparable to the console games.  My 2 issues with it: 1.  It is really easy.  The fact that Batman adjusts to the "depth" of the combatants puts them at a disadvantage.  it still feels crushing and has multiple fight moves and combo linking just like console Arkhams.  2.  There is simply not enough of it.  They really should have employed randomized or respawning enemies in a 'hard" mode with the game.  I felt the same way about the console games regarding it being too easy however.  If you like the Batman games for combat only I would suggest renewing your plus.  If you like the exploration elements I talked about in my impressions foremost over combat (as in Metroid or SoTN) you will like the game alot.  Overall I enjoyed combat but there certainly should have been more fighting on screen at once and more fighting in the game overall.  Other elements of the game make up for it, including the bosses.  There are 4 main bosses and 3 sub-bosses.  Replay value is moderate.  I couldn't see playing completely through it more than twice without a long break after before possibly more simply because of the backtracking without enemies.  Also, once you get to the end it does not let you re enter the prison I am pretty sure.  I think you simply have to start a new game.  It gave an onscreen warning about it.  Need to confirm this 100%.
