Like it but not as much as the first one![/quote]
I prefered AA over AC. I liked the "main-story" in AC more but I guess I like linear games more then open. Everything felt connected in AA.

Exactly what I was after, I mean I to prefere linear games much more then open ones.
It's easier to feel conected to the game for me that way as else I just keep running around and feel lost.

I wasn't implying that it was 'worth' anything - other than my time. I reformat and upgrade often enough to make it a royal pain in the butt to re-download games every time. There are certain ones that permanently reside on my system. The Arkham series are some of them. I prefer the CD install times to Steam's 8 hour downloads if/when I need to reinstall.

I'm surprised that the value of actually displaying the box (and having one TO display) was not mentioned. My audio disk library covers a shelf or two as well as the DVD's, 3DBluerays and then there's the stack of disk cases for the PS3, PC and stack of boxes/holders for my portable gaming systems.
I guess its a different mind set - being able to glance at a bunch of physical games and decide on which one to play before turning the gaming system on.

Having a boxed game make it less depressing when you see game on a steam sale for like $10 X months later.
Its kind of funny because there was a period of 10 years with like no batman games or at least worth mentioning. Now we have Batman AA/AC/AO / Batman lego / Injustice [Has more batman characters then any other by a lot].
If you guys like AO and don't mind fighting games should at least keep an eye on Injustice if it has good 3D [Prob will]. Got a sweet story line.

You don't even need to use Steam backup. If you've reinstalled Windows, you can just install Steam over the top of the old install and it will pick things up. There may be subtleties (google before trying), but it's much faster than backup/restore.

I actually thought this too on my first playthrough. I did a second one for both games. This time i really connected to the arkham city world, did all of the side missions too. Anyway the key to liking city more was not to rush the main campaign missions, it made it feel "less connected" like you put it.
Of course i can only speak for myself, but rushing the story was my poison.

I also can't keep everything on my boot drive because it's SSD and smallish. I move games in and out of cold storage as the need arises. For games that I don't care about loading speeds, I install them directly on the HD.

Ah. I install all my games to my 3tb (I have an SSD system drive as well), and for games with longer load times I cycle them on and off my games SSD (old system ssd). You can cut/paste them, and just drop a symbolic link in the Steamapps folder. Works like a charm.

I use an OCZ Synapse SSD cache drive with my 1TB WD Black HDD for my games, that way I get the best of both worlds. A huge SSD would still be a slightly better option due to it being slightly faster and taking up one less SATA port, but I just cant bring myself to spend loads of money just on storage.
I used to like having all my games on disc, but in the end they took up far too much space, along with 300 DVDs and 50 blu rays. Eventually I shoved them all out of sight in my spare room, and started buying all my games digitally. Plus, I like to think that its slightly better on the environment not to have boxes and printed manuals that I don't need.
