Yeah I figured. Not the biggest fan of that stuff but we will see.

Was this game supposed to come with a manual? I didn't have one in my package.

I bought mine new and it came with a two page pamphlet that in no way resembled an instruction manual, and some sort of catalog offering game-related swag. And some codes.

Maybe they figured if you really wanted instructions, you could always just FUCK YOUR OWN EYES or something. But shit, there was some other game I bought recently (also new) that didn't have an instruction manual...can't recall what it was offhand.

Same here.

Manuals aren't really needed anymore since every game has a tutorial when you first start playing.

Luckily, it hadn't been that long ago that I'd replayed Arkham Asylum, so I remembered the important controls.

I thought that was where they put all the legal info for the game and begged you not to steal it?

so you actually use stuff like the remote-controlled batarang in the second game?

Because i bought that early thinking it would be useful, but I never once so a reason to use it. Same with the sonic batarang.

Yes to the Remote Controlled Batarang. There's a few sequence where you absolutely need it. And one still took forever to get right. :smt013

I don't think I've ever used the Sonic Batarang except in the stealth challenges.

For reasons I can't entirely define, whenever I hit someone with the Remote Control Batarang, I laugh uncontrollably. Like, you throw it, and then hit the accelerator and WHAAP. That ragdoll shit takes over. Knock dudes over ledges and down staircases...and it's best when they know you're there, because they try to run towards you, talking shit. And in the midst of their promises to do horrible things to you, BLAMMO, right in the sack.

I don't know why I laugh every single time, but I do.
