...Arkham City - several years late but oops it has just eaten the last couple of days of my life... O.o Nothing productive at all has been acheived (yep I am ashamed!)
I feel like a more extreme version of the characters in that web show The Guild. But worse because at least their game involves some social activity!
I've done the main plotline and the majority of the side quests and the game is still only at 57% completion... But it has also gotten to the point where there's not much to do in "normal gameplay" so is a bit boring... Riddler's trophies and the last two Riddler Hostage puzzles being the only thing left now (I mean there's the extra DLC package of Harley's Revenge which I've not finished yet and the campaign battles but hrmm the script for Harley's Revenge has been of ...dubious quality so far.)
Though gods don't even get me started on the treatment of the female characters in the game... Every single female character no matter how injustifiable is either corsetted or semi-naked and every single cut-scene that involves them has long lingering shots of their arses and other assets. And yet there is a wide variety of male physiques on offer generally, ranging from corpulent to skeletal, young to old etc. Once again the coders seem to be forgetting that nearly 45% of the gaming population is female. And in an attempt to be gritty you can overhear the villains constantly referring to them in derogatory terms. Which would be fine, except the language for them is always "this b*tch" and how they'd like to rip off their clothes and do things. And yet the worst you hear about Batman is "freak" ...right because a mad vigilante dressed up as a bat, constantly running around inside a prison and beating everyone up doesn't deserve worse language than those "mad b*tches" that you want to rape. Gods game coders...
