10 Video Games That KNEW You'd Try To Cheat
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Reading The Last Page First
On your second playthrough of a game, you'll know exactly where to go and exactly what to do - more so than on your first playthrough - which should give you a much faster completion time overall.
Even better, you might be able to completely skip past certain sections of the game during your second run, using your knowledge from that original playthrough to cut any corners you can. It's actually possible to do this in Batman: Arkham Asylum by breaking up a small sequence in the library, but if you do, the Joker himself will call you out, brandishing your time-saving exploit as shameful.
Midway through the game you'll enter the library, and right in front of you will be a bunch of goons standing on a glass floor. Once you've taken them out, you proceed downstairs to trigger a timer that will release the Joker's happy gas. From there, you grapple up to the top of the room and throw a batarang at a chandelier, which will fall, break the glass floor, and give you a way into the room below.
Alternatively, just grapple to the top of the room once you've beaten up those goons. You'll save time by not going downstairs, and as a "reward" for your cunning, you'll hear some secret dialogue spoken by Mr. J: "reading the last page first? Shame on you!"
Rocksteady undoubtedly realised that a lot of players would choose the "cheat" way of finishing this portion of the game, and put this dialogue in as a fun little easter egg.
