Forums - Microsoft - Batman: Arkham City, Darksiders II in New Xbox 360 Bundle

Nsanity on 28 February 2013

IGN

Starting today, you’ll be able to pick up an Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard drive and two games: Darksiders II and Batman: Arkham City. The Spring Value Bundle will set you back $299.99, and can be bought at most major retailers.

Darksiders II will come as a physical copy, while Batman: Arkham City is included as a digital download code. Plus, you’ll be getting a month of Xbox Live included.

Bought separately at MSRP, the bundle would cost nearly $380.

Obvious direct move vs WiiU.

Problem is both games are inferior to WiiU variants... but it does cost over $100 less this way.

Are the Xbox versions really worse?  From what I've seen Darksiders has more open world detail's and loads faster on the Xbox, & Batman is a bit less glitchy with full anti aliasing on Xbox.  Or were you suggesting that because the Wii U versions come with the DLC on disk they are better?

No, but they are launch titles.

No.


Darksiders 2:

"And so another Wii U launch title arrives that doesn't quite hold its own against the existing PS3 and 360 versions"
"In the final analysis, the PS3 version remains the most impressive version of the game with higher-quality textures in places and superior performance, followed by the 360 release, while the Wii U sits in last place."

Batman Arkham City:

"The overall takeaway is that the Wii U version of this classic title is unpolished and less enjoyable to play than Rocksteady's original."
"It's Arkham City, and by default a good game, but the basic reality is that we'd take any of the older - and now cheaper - versions of this excellent title ahead of the underwhelming Wii U port."

So MS deems these games as threats from Nintendo? I don't know about that.
