Batman: Arkham City thread

Oh alright. I don’t have to find the costume in the store or anything like i did the Catwoman shit? interesting. Ok thanks Josh.

Been playing Arkham City for a few hours. So far my general impression is “meh”. It just seems more of the same but a greater landscape.
I hope my impression changes, I really do. Cause as of now, it falls way, way under the amount of hype it garnered.

Something I forgot to ask: are there any mysteries like the Chronicles of Arkham last game? I mean those stone tablets you had to decode. I’ve heard of Arkham City stories, but know nothing other than the name.

omg spoiler time, hey guys who wants to hear a spoiler?

I JUST PUNCHED A FUCKING SHARK IN THE FACE! I’M THE GODDAMNED BATMAN!!!

THE GOD DAMN BATMAN FEARS NOTHING!

It picks up once you start getting more gadgets and getting into the meat of the game. They basically start you off with the gear you ended AA with so it’s gonna be the same at the begining, but they build on what they had instead of starting over

I didn’t find anything like these while playing.

Frankly I was rather disappointed at how small a role Sharp played in the game. Maybe I missed some stuff (I finished with only 41% completed) but that little rescue and interrogation being his only part on the story was woefully small considering how instrumental he was setting this whole fucking fiasco up. They didn’t even touch on the fact that he’s completely possessed by the spirit of Amadeus Arkham and completely bat shit insane.

[spoiler= Quincy Sharp spoilers] They did in his bio I believe. It said Strange gave his drugs to make him think he was possessed and made is pretty much black mailing him and made him make Strange in charge of Arkham city. [/spoilers]

Some things I noticed:

  1. How many gadgets are we supposed to be able to get? I have all the ones from the main story but the D-pad layout looks wierd.
  2. Selecting TAS Batman (which looks super cool in this game) also makes you have TAS Catwoman.
  3. The women (or atleast Harley, Catwoman, and Talia) are sooo damn sexy in this game
  4. Dat ass
  5. Catwoman spoilers [details=Spoiler]When jumping up buildings, in the left corner of the screen it actually tells you if you pressed the jump button “too late,” “too early,” or if it was “good” timing. The game mentions nothing about this so I was wondering if anyone knows what it’s for. I checked the map and she doesnt seem to have AR missions (I was thinking there might be an AR mission to practice doing it and earn an upgrade) and I doubt Rocksteady put it in just to see if you’re mashing “jump” or actually timing it. [/details]
  6. Lastly, there really needs to be a way to jump back in to your finished story mode with a undamaged costume. Catwoman is hot but I’m not liking the whole [details=Spoiler]burnt up and cut look from her apartment exploding[/details]

[spoiler= Gadgets] Batarang, Sonic Batarang, Remote controlled batarang, Electrical gun, Disruptor, Freeze bomb, Bat claw, Line Launcher, Freeze cluster bomb, Explosive gel, Smoke pellet, don’t remember what the lower left hand one is.[/spoilers]

The hacking thing (Cryptograhic sequencer or something like that). Thanks though

No me gusta on the last Catwoman stealth.
Also, such a sick ending.
Now to 100% SG+
Also, am I the only one who has tremendous trouble signing in/posting on here lately?

catwoman stealth

Spoiler

yeah, i wasn’t a fan. i ended up just knocking out the one guard on the way to two-face’s balcony, then beating the shit out of two-face, then i crit striked the inmates with guns, back to beating two-face until he was ko’d.

And if you had the paid powerup rewards membership you got the TAS skin.

Kaiten yeah, the Too Soon pop up is for when to jump up buildings with catwoman. Nothing special

Ok, this is really weird. I had pre-ordered with walmart for the aa/ac deal, but saw it wouldn’t deliver until next week and sent an email to cancel. I then see that it shows up yesterday and they didn’t ever charge my card for it. Glitch in my favor? Oh, and I still got that $10 e-credit haha

Thats stupid. Especially since it doesnt even get introduced/explained to you, its just…there.

it’s there to help you time getting up the building quickly. It’s not that hard to figure out. I got it the second i saw it. If you hit it too soon or too late she goes up slowly. It doesn’t sound important till the moment your being rained upon by white hot lead.

U have to enable all training through the menu. Annoying? Quite
