Batman: Arkham City thread

I think they were fine in the context of this story. You essentially have a Bats centric story that’s playing out like Dead Space 2. I’m not seeing how Robin, Nightwing and Oracle could have fit in there more than they did.

The selling point of the game was “Be The Batman”. Not “Be The Batfamilia”.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Although… We may see something different if/once the challenge maps are released.

I don’t buy that shit. If this was like the Nolan films where Batman was the only hero around I would have accepted it but the Batfamily exists in the Arkham continuity. The entire city gone to shit and Rocksteady doesn’t use this as an opportunity to make use of Batman’s supporting cast of heroes? Bullshit! Robin got sidelined into a subplot disconnected from everything that was happening which ended up being a waste of time. What they had Tim do could have easily been given to Alfred. Nightwing the only one who told Bruce to go to hell and they didn’t have him do anything outside his side mission. Knowing what went down in Harley’s DLC they could had him assist Bats in taking her down. Azrael could have shown is worth by actually helping instead of having to prove himself against VR thugs. So disappointed on how poorly everyone was used.

Finished the main story on Sat and…

Well I’ll be damned!!
I tried looking for them Evidence lockup after I got Electric REC gun, but gave up. So I just kept waiting to get some point in the story to get them. That shit could’ve been useful for the final fights of the game.

But yeah this is the true-GOTY!! The Batmobile was an AMAZING addition to game.

For style points, slap on the 1966 Batmoblie skin and just gawk @ the badassness.

The people crying about it are the ones that lack driving skill …or just suck!! Though I’ll admit the cock-screw, loop turns in the Arkham Knight/escavator boss fight and some of the Riddler maps are a bitch to maneuver in.

the poison ivy plant defense one with like 40 tanks?, yeah, my batmobile is to weak for that because I spent all my points on higher flight speed

fuck riddler challenges…

I HIGHLY suggest not activating the Knightfall Protocol until you’ve finished everything.

Cool thing I noticed today… Apparently you can counter a car trying to hit you on foot. Holy shit is that counter amazing.

Is it the stealth tank one with the 6-7 Cobra Tanks plus the Arkham Knight’s personal tank!!

…yeah that one is a bi#%h!!!
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU. :confused:

So far I caught o I need Penguin, Firefly, Professor Pyg…crazed up fruit loop azz

[spoiler=]
Deathstroke taking over Jason’s army was fucking surprising as hell!!! :o
Bruce cannot catch a break. And I hope the boss fight is going to be like the Origins one.

And I have to collect all 240 riddles just to finish the final fight with Mecha-Riddler!!

…FUCK NIGMA!!!

[spoiler=]the last battle with deathstroke is disappointing as hell. It’s basically like the battle vs AK with 4 cobras and the escavator. [/spoiler]

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Only thing left for me are the riddler trophies.

Unless new story + holds some good shit of course.

It was the mission after [details=Spoiler]saving Oracle from the scarecrow[/details]

I have a bunch more side missions to deal with.

:38 Wasn’t even aware that was a type of counter. I want this challenge map DLC, STAT.

That challenge is one of my favorites. It’s the one I play when I want to perfect my freeflows.

I haven’t . Done any of the challenges but I’m still wreking…anyone know where i can find the freeze grenades?

Someone data mined the pc version and apparently

Spoiler

damien wayne campaign or he may just be a skin for robin’s campaign, theres a bunch of skins coming as well

In the place with the multiple jokers. To the left of the empty cell it’ll be on a table.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Sitting at 96%. Only the riddler trophies left.

encountered a part of the game missing or at least no collision detection on the roads in a tunnel, I think its near the police station but ill double check later, (ps4 version)

riddler trophies are all I have as well but I don’t have the patience for it

ill pick up the DLC once it goes on sale overall I enjoyed the story for what it was, bat fans be damned but if you are somewhat familiar then J as the knight should be no surprise

This happened to me today

I traded this in today. I didn’t use my DLC codes, so here they are (Playstation 4):

Scarecrow Nightmare Missions - NRAJ-33NR-9QPP
Harley Quinn Story Pack - RDQF-9ENB-CA8D
Playstation Exclusive Skins Pack - FDAM-BENH-5P3H

So I got the Batgirl DLC last night. It was ok. Obviously longer than Red Hoods.

Spoiler
  • She’s basically like arkham asylum batman when the game begins. Only about 5 weapons. Batarang, explosive gel, line launcher, grappling hook, and hacking device. Line launcher is still pretty worthless.
  • Hacking device is what you’ll use the most in predator.
  • It seems like her Silent Takedown range is farther than batman. The prompt pops up from quite a few characters away.
  • H2H, she uses lots of kicks.
  • No exp points. No fear takedowns.
  • Unlike Red Hood’s DLC, you can get 100% by running around and kicking and bataranging joker teeth and joker boxes.
  • Final battle is batgirl and Robin vs joker and Harley+ a neverending hoard of thugs. It’s fun as hell. Harley has the big mallet and unblockables. Joker switches between his pistol and his switch blade.
  • The dlc is about as long as Robins DLC from arkham city.

About to go through the game on new game +.
