If they actually meant something instead of arbitrarily unlocking a boss fight and true ending then sure. But man why is batman running around taking photos of random things for the riddler? Shouldn't he be piecing something together and then half way through just turn the table over on riddler and bust his rear end? I agree it's nice that there's so many but I don't want to do a hundred turn grate off puzzles to see the boss fight.

BIG HEADLINE posted:The second Robin, 'killed' by The Joker (depending on what canon you follow/prefer), who hired a woman to lure him away from Batman by posing as his birth mother. Also depending on the canons in which he survives, he becomes Red Robin, who's basically Huntress with a dick, or a varyingly-unhinged antihero/psychopath/sociopath like we kind of see here. Blind Rasputin posted:Sorry, but as someone who's never read a batman comic book in his life, who is Jason Todd? Jason is best known for a call-in vote DC held in the mid-80s to determine if he lived or died. The Bat-audience voted thumbs down (by not tooooo wide a margin), and so the Joker received his Boy Blunder gamer achievement.  Jason was not well liked as Robin, and even killed a dude by dropping him off a balcony.

The photo hunt ones are clever most of the time, but still totally dumb. I'll grant you that. Never enjoy clicking Detective Mode forever to get the perfect angle. Everybody posted:Jason. Why not just tell Under the Red Hood? Sure we would've known the twist, but I don't see how that devalues it. We all knew Batman was never in danger of dying in Asylum or City, but still stuck around for the ride.

So I'm well into the game and don't see any suit damage... someone said a ton of pages ago that switching up the costumes even once resets the damage. is this true? On the ps4 if that matters. I'm about to go to wayne tower to try and find a certain someone...

In other words what you're doing already.

I just wish the ones locked behind puzzles were more fun overall. Some of them are neat and fun. Some are boring or frustrating. Some of them will break and require a reload such as the one near the orphanage. The photo challenges waste a lot of time.

The "CSI stuff from Origins" is already in the game. Also, again, the number of items in Arkham Knight is fewer than those in Arkham City despite being in a significantly larger area, and it actually ends up making them feel somewhat sparse and far-between at times.

I've enjoyed the hell out of almost everything here, the racing (these apc and firefly chases are not hard What are you on about), the batmobile puzzles, the usual batman stuff, I even like the tank combat. There's just so, so much of it.ImpAtom posted:"The same puzzle over and over" isn't an accurate description at all. (And yeah, there are some which are just 'pick this up' and those ones are boring.)

Those games didn't ask you to complete it all to get the proper ending though, which is a pretty significant point to me. Some of the puzzles are also much more elaborate and time consuming with the vehicle switching. I do enjoy it, but last night I set out to do a bunch of Riddler stuff, did about an hour, then looked at the stats and saw I'd done a whole twenty three. It's going to take forever to do this, and it's just too much given that it's already starting to feel samey. ShineDog fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Jun 26, 2015 |

The best thing for dealing with tank combat is the drone hack because your hacked drones prevent enemy drones from spawning. It also works on cobras which kicks all sorts of rear end.

There are a finite number of gadgets in the game, and a finite number of ways they can be used. Just mixing and matching them isn't making new puzzles. It's all the same puzzles that they've been making since Asylum but in slightly different configurations. Some of them exactly so, like ones where all you have to do is freeze a pipe to get to an area. There was a neat one with monkeys in the airship, but then on the other side of the same room was another version of the same exact puzzle. The amount they reuse stuff is ridiculous, especially when it's the third game where they've been doing it, and it stopped being fun sometime about halfway through Asylum.

It's really fun to actually play in, but having a goddamn 60mm-equipped tank in a Batman game goes against a lot of what Batman is about, and I don't know why movie directors and game designers want to put guns on all his poo poo.

It's pretty funny how much they try to keep who the Arkham Knight is a secret. The game actually blocks the stream off for the fight with the Knight. The only other time that I think it does this is the endings.

The best part about the character of Arkham Knight is the first time you run into him you are like "drat who is this cool badass?" Then he starts talking and sounds like a petulant child having a tantrum every single time and its like welp.

What are all the takedowns I need to do for the trophy/achievement? I've done the following: From a grate, from a vent, from a ledge, inverted, fear, corner, from above on a ledge, collapsed wall, through a window, through a window in the ceiling, exploding a gas tank with the hacker, with a drone hacked drone. What's left to do?

Anyone else having trouble with missions not starting? I have a couple where I go to the marker but absolutely nothing happens except the marker disappears, only to reappear when I get 10m or more away. So far it's happening on the second serial killer mission and second Azrael mission and a restart hasn't fixed it. PS4 copy.

Sometimes, if you're headed to a marker for "intel" you won't actually get to start the mission when you head to it. You'll have to look around; for the burning Bat symbol if it's Az, for the opera music for that guy, for a tower or an APC or whatever. Then, after you actually find what you're looking for, the actual mission starter will be available Pwnstar posted:The best part about the character of Arkham Knight is the first time you run into him you are like "drat who is this cool badass?"

Yeah his identity is pretty obvious the first time he's like "WELL I KNOW YOU AND I'M BETTER AND I'M GONNA GET YA BECAUSE YOU'RE OLD AND STUPID AND I HATE YOU" The helmet is cool though. Could prove a decent alternative to the eternal question of "How the hell do you make the Batman Beyond suit work in detailed artwork?" I really wonder what Rocksteady's next project will be. I think they pretty clearly have what it takes to do an original IP, but as a publisher-owned studio the pressure might be on them hardcore to adapt a pre-existing IP with a built-in audience. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up having to do a Batman game again in a Kojima-esque fashion.

Do you have to use the Batmobile to chase down Firefly? I've tried twice now, and I lose sight of him almost instantly, smash the Batmobile into every wall trying to follow the line leading to him, and then lose track of him entirely. And then, adding insult to injury, I cant even try again without waiting 5 minutes for the quest to turn back on and then flying randomly around Gotham to find another smoke trail. I have been enjoying most of this game on PC despite the graphical issues, but good god was the Batmobile a huge misstep. I haven't played a GTA title since Vice City because I just cannot stand this sort of gameplay. I love the combat, the predator rooms, the puzzles, the flying, virtually everything else, but I don't know why on earth they thought making a third of the game car chases or tank battles fit in with what fans expect from an Arkham game.
