Rirse posted:Should I bother to finish Arkham Origin before this comes out? I still debating if I want to get this right away, but I never finished Origins which I was given for free on the PS3 with the season pass. Last time I played was after beating Deathstroke. I'd say it's worth finishing - there's a lot of excellent set pieces and it's not a very long game if you're not trying to do absolutely everything.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Another gameplay demo. They're throwing these out like candy lately. I like the changes to investigations, the gradual narrowing down of who the victim is in particular. Batman's stunning ability to identify literally everyone in Gotham City within 5 seconds of scanning their face, even if they had died in an explosion, was sort of weird. Even if the timetable is still unrealistic, it feels better for Batman to go "well okay I don't know who this is but here's a list of all the people with this deformity, we'll cross reference with people who had hip surgery, then with a list of idiots admitted to the hospital for swallowing their wedding rings, and here, this guy matches all criteria." Also I'm really glad they showed off using battle mode in the Batmobile to do more careful maneuvering because I have no doubt I would have spent many stupid, fruitless hours trying to navigate narrow ledges in the normal driving mode and gotten very angry. net cafe scandal posted:(Heath Ledger Joker voice) It will be awesome, to boldly reveal the identity of the Arkham Knight and to cause true chaos for the bad Games posters... indeed chaos is the only way. 0/10, doesn't read like Heath Leader's Joker at all.

net cafe scandal posted:Some guy beat an early copy of Arkham Knight and said that the Arkham Knight is Robin whatever that means (dick? tim? jason? damian?) and that the Joker is in the game. We've pretty much guessed that Joker would be in the game in the form of a fear hallucination for as long as we've known Scarecrow was the main man. I'm not even going to spoiler that because I don't know if it's true or not but we've been speculating that for literally more than two years. As to the other thing, I don't know. It just feels like the most obvious set of guesses.

None of the Arkham games have been well written. Some have been more well written than others, but that's like saying that the flu is better than dysentery. I don't mind the bad writing unless it's outright offensive, but I guess I am a little disappointed that Rocksteady couldn't resist the single most obvious plot twist in the world.

That is true of many comics as well (starting strong but ending weak out of a lack of desire for real, permanent change) so it seems like a valid point.

Aquasnake posted:Hey does anyone know how common it is for gamestop to let you pick up a preorder the day before, like I know someone earlier in the thread said they could pick it up at 9pm. I have no idea what the line is going to be like at my gamestop, I showed up to the Origins release at like 12:05 and they were closing their doors because they were already done. I figure Arkham Knight will be a bit bigger than that, but I have no sense of scale. And if I could just pick it up during the day, well then so much the better. Probably highly dependent on your specific Gamestop and the people who work there.

I got stuck in a grate during the fear multi-takedown tutorial. Couldn't move, couldn't leave the grate, couldn't do anything. Fortunately hitting restart only reverted me as far back as before I jumped in the grate and the second time I jumped in it went fine. My usual solution to that kind of problem is to fast travel somewhere though - is there fast travel in this game or are you just expected to Batmobile your way around?

So I'm increasingly glad I refunded my Steam preorder months ago and got this for PS4 instead. But regardless of whether the game works or not, I am very very bad at it. I mean, maybe it's because I haven't played an Arkham game in over a year but lord almighty, I am gettin' boned. I did so badly at one Riddler challenge that he took pity on me and gave me a shortcut  Riddler felt bad for me, that's how loving badly I'm doing at this game.

Kin posted:What do you mean by shortcut? Because that's sounds cool. It was a puzzle where, after having to launch myself out of the batmobile a few times, I had to get through a ring of spikes like the ones you line launcher'd your way through in City. I attempted to line launcher my way through and it just kept automatically killing me. In retrospect, I suppose it still wanted me to glide through them with a good launch but I was so sure that I needed to line launcher that I died several times. Then, after god knows how many deaths, when I respawned next to the Batmobile, there was a lit up green question mark button that hadn't been there before. Hitting it lowered the wall next to it and let me finish the puzzle. Riddler was very condescending about it but I guess at that point he had a right to be

Saint Freak posted:I just did that one. You actually end up with too much air once you get through the tunnel and have to drop a fair bit to hit the last sensor Yeah, like I said, in retrospect it probably wouldn't have even been that hard to do correctly. But I only realized I was supposed to just glide through the tunnel as I was typing the first post. Dear Rocksteady, don't include obstacles that have always had one and only one solution in the past if that isn't a viable solution now! I played Arkham City! The rotating tunnels of saw blades have ALWAYS meant "Line Launcher" in the past! And if I'm good enough to get into a position to use said line launcher and I've actually got a clear path through it, then loving let me do that! Don't have Batman just randomly let go of the goddamn line in the middle of the tunnel!

net cafe scandal posted:They paid him. Vows aren't real, and Baker doesn't really compare to Hamill. I thought Baker sounded great as a young Joker, before he really hit his stride. Hamill does sound better as Older Joker but that's probably because he's been playing Joker for so long that his voice has genuinely aged for it. Hashy posted:The Harley Quinn "Story Pack" is like 5 minutes long and terrible. Is the Scarecrow one any better? The code for that in my PS4 copy was already used and I'm trying to get it resolved but if it's as bad as Harley Quinn's 4 Room Romp I'll just forget it. Yeah I was really loving disappointed with the Harley DLC. Especially since there's hints in the DLC that more interesting stuff is going on with Harley - She's talking to "Harleen" in her head, there's a couple of writings on the wall with her pseudo-detective vision that are along the lines of "What do I do now?", and she's afraid of Scarecrow (sort of interesting in and of itself since in the comics and the cartoon, she was one of the few people who got along great with Scarecrow) but otherwise not really interested in working with the other villains beyond killing Batman. The Red Hood DLC is also awful, it's just two combat rooms and one stealth room, and the only story is "gently caress Black Mask".

Basically she sounds more normal (no put on high pitched whine) and reminds Harley that Joker is very dead and she's tired of doing this stuff. Harley responds by threatening to get a lobotomy. Then they just drop the plot thread

evilmiera posted:So his big plan is to basically nuke a quarter of the US, but then his big plan is to mess with Batman for a bit, but then his big plan is to just nuke Gotham, but when he's done that his big plan is to reveal to the world who Batman is after he catches his ward. When did Scarecrow become either a massive ditz or supercompetent or both? I mean what is he hoping to accomplish with this? The only motivation he's ever had as far as I remember is to experiment with his toxins and become rich from doing so, not gonna be a lot of money being made if he's basically wiped out the world economy from such a massive blow to the world . What is he hoping to do after he's done? Scarecrow doesn't care about money. His research and his toxins are the only things he cares about. There's no end goal after "flood the entire eastern seaboard with toxin" unless it's "flood everywhere else with toxin". This actually gets specifically brought up in the airship, in Simon Staggs audio logs. Stagg says that he would be willing to pay Crane outrageous amounts of money to work for him, for his chemical expertise alone, nevermind how much money could be made off his research, but Crane doesn't give even half a poo poo about money.

Fulchrum posted:But the Supervillain alliance are all dead broke. Riddler's obsession deteriorated to the point he hasn't done anything that isn't to do with trying to gently caress with Batman for years (and Scarecrow only asked that he try and pull his Riddle challenge the same night as Scarecrows stuff, he didn't ask for an investment), Penguin is down to one gun running organisation running out of Bludhaven as his entire enterprise, and Two Face has to go back to ripping off mob money. I'd be highly surprised if any of the villains didn't have as much money squirreled away in offshore accounts as they could get. I'm sure any one of them could retire comfortably if their various psychoses allowed it. But it's always easier to just go rob a bank and immediately turn around and use that money than it is to dip into savings (especially when doing so might get them traced). Where supervillains get their limitless supplies of cash is something I've always just accepted as handwaved away, in much the same way that I don't ask how Riddler built all those underground racetracks in under a year and nobody in Gotham noticed.

I don't think anybody involved the in plan other than Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight knew that the bomb was meant to affect the entire eastern seaboard. I doubt even the other villains were in on the sheer scope of the plan, nor do I think they cared beyond "Batman's gonna die at some point".

I had actually been spoiled on the subject so I can't tell if the scene felt off because I knew about what was happening or because there were genuine clues. I mean, in a game with Scarecrow as the main villain, you kind of can't take any bad thing that happens at face value. But... based on their past treatment of female characters, I was completely willing to believe that Rocksteady would off Barbara just for the drama and the "LOOK HOW GRIM AND MATURE OUR GAME IS, THIS IS WHY THE GAME IS RATED M" thing. Now I haven't actually gotten to the point where the reveal happens because I've been dicking around doing a bajillion sidequests (I'M GONNA GET YOU PYG)That said, it's not really hard to figure out how Scarecrow knows what Batman saw under the effects of fear gas - he almost certainly rigged things to lead Batman to see exactly that. Barbara was probably genuinely in the room, genuinely under the effects of fear gas, and there may have been genuinely a gun in there. It was probably just loaded with blanks. Barbara wouldn't even have to actually try shooting herself for Batman to see that. He only has to know that she has a gun and hear the gun go off. It's only a matter of Scarecrow knowing what's most likely to scare Batman and if Scarecrow couldn't guess that, then he wouldn't be very loving good at his job. Barbara helpless + gun + sound of gun firing = ? Bats isn't going to be afraid of Barbara firing the gun at him, especially with the glass in the way, so what's the only possible thing Barbara could do with the gun that would terrify him?

This is probably going to sound crazy, but if anything I think the game could have used MORE Riddler stuff to do. In Arkham City, there were 440 and yeah, that was a little much but with the size of the game, you were tripping over Riddler stuff on every building you walked across. Arkham Knight has half the Riddler stuff to do, but in a city that's like five times bigger. poo poo's hard to find and that makes it more frustrating.

I didn't like the Deathstroke fight but it's hard for me to specifically define why. All of the things I don't like about it are things that I've been fine with in other boss fights or are things I understand to be basic facts of video game bosses. Like, my top complaint about the fight is how repetitive it feels (especially if you keep getting close to walls and you have to watch that loving readjusting animation over and over again) but I can fully acknowledge that Firefly is an equally repetitive boss fight and I loved the Firefly boss fight. And boss fights are usually repetitive anyway. Maybe it just bugs me that Deathstroke apparently can't dodge the Batclaw at all but common street thugs can.

Alright, there's a Riddler trophy outside Panessa Studios that I'm too stupid to get - There's three question marks that need to be hit to unlock it and there's an electrified ceiling. I can EMP the ceiling to shut it off with the Batmobile, but doing that also shuts off the question marks. I can get a remote batarang up there and just hang out til the question marks come back on, but then I can only hit one of them that way and using the EMP again on the ceiling resets it. What am I doing wrong?
