Got the new MK 8.28 Batsuit and beat the Ace Chemicals section…
On the trail to save Barbara…and ah shit Gordon knows that she has been working with Bats.

It’s going to be like that BTAS episode, when Scarecrow gassed her.

Finally had to deal with Riddler, and he’s got Catwoman under his thumb thanks to a bobby-trap cat collar on her neck.
Ran into Man Bat and damn near shat myself.

encountered Azrael for training…or something[/details]

Loving the Batmobile, the new upgrades, and game overall.
I feel for the PC users, missing out on this. Strong…strong contender for GOTY!!

Spoiler

one thing that scares me still is when I’m grapneling to a building and joker just shows up at random

1003

Damn I hate the Batmobile…

Everything else about the game is silky smooth, tho.

1005

Like a Boss

I only like diving in and calling in the batmobile. Shit looks so badass

too much tank play

1006

Made it to a certain part of the game…

Spoiler

RIP BABS!!
THE O.G. and ONE TRUE BATGIRL…!

Scarecrow is going to get his!!
Props to Rocksteady for having balls to do that in the story.

Damn I was not expecting to be able to

Spoiler

Play as Azrael

but it was a pleasant surprise. I wonder if there are traditional challenge maps like in city. It would be a shame if I couldn’t pick a character and start beating heads when I wanted to with all these options…

How far are you guys in story? Are you guys doing straight story or are you guys doing side missions

1011

I’m doing side missions. I so far completed the Penguin, Two-Face, Firefly, a few of the militia ones, [spoiler=]Man-Bat, Professor Pyg and Hush. I don’t know how to get the Deacon Blackfire side missions[/spoiler].

1012

Holy hell this tank mission is fucking hard

1013

I’m about 50% done overall, trying to do just enough story so I can hammer down the side missions. Trying to complete the random Jesus bodies one as if it is who I think it is, I will be supreme hyped.

Happy to have my freeze grenades back as well. So much fun.

1014

What? I’m at 91% completetion and I have no Freeze grenades.

1015

Freeze grenades are in the place where all the jokers are held up. It’ll be next to where the empty cell is.

This is the one, true GOTY. Best the game and most side missions. I love batmobile now. Took a while to get used to but I got it now and it’s fun as hell. Pusuit missions are cool as hell even though I got mad cuz they would get away. Then I stopped following the arrows and just went straight after their image.

Tank missions are fun but tough sometimes cuz there’s an assload of tank and copters running around throwing shit at you. But once I got the hack upgrade, I hack two big tanks, and things get much easier.

H2H fights got tougher and funner with the vast variety of people you fight against. Big dudes with hand blades and shock gloves. Adding a medic is cool as hell (not as brilliant as adding them to predator mode but still good). Picking up weapons and using them is a godsend as my favorite move when I’m surrounded (bat swarm) is gone. Tag teaming is cool too.

I love predator way more than before now. Adding a medic is fucking brilliant. Sometimes the medic will even ask for cover while he heals somebody. Fear takedown adds some much needed freshness and excitement to predator too. Only beef is the glitch if I try to take out the big dude with the chain gun without a lot of space. The animation won’t start up and keeps going back and forth and you’ll lose life and time.

Only done 6 AR missions. Maybe doing those will open up my beloved challenge maps.

[spoiler=]i was hoping Jason wasn’t the AK but whatever. The boss fights vs him in the escavator and cloud burst are really cool and frustrating.

Deathstroke takes over after you beat AK. I should be facing him soon. Gotta beat all the side missions featuring the army.

Only at 40% of the riddler trophies but I freed catwoman. Idk if I can meet up with her later.

Hush had me like “wtf? Is this more joker bullshit?”

Chased down man-bat. I like that you had to chase him by flying alone and didn’t punch him a lot.

I kept fucking up the firefly side mission cuz I was trying to catch up to him. I just needed to dodge the fires first then catch up. [/spoiler]

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Need more of the Red Hood story mission. Too quick for me.

1016

[spoiler=]pretty sure you have to talk to jack Ryder to make it start up. He’s in the interrogation room at the GCPD hq [/details]

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

I LOVE spinning out the other tanks in pursuit mode. That shit gets my dick hard.

1017

[spoiler=]I knew AK was Jason the moment you meet him. Only Jason would act that smug and have that intense hatred for Batman while knowing him that well. I’ll say that the game did a better job of giving him better motivation for him being a villain than Under the Red Hood. Poor bastard got the Return of the Joker treatment.[/details]

1018

Not counting DLC and challenge maps,what other characters can you play in the main story/campaign?

Thank you.

1019
Spoiler

Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, Azrael, Joker(ish)

All to varying degrees but the ability to play as the last two were the biggest surprises.

1020

I’m disappointed with the use of the Batfamily in this game. Rocksteady should have given them a larger role.
