Hmm, looks like according to the predator map video there are 5 big districts or something in the game (at least for riddler trophies). I wonder exactly how much that means, and if we're gonna be island hopping. It seems like most of the gameplay they showed is on only one of the islands. Wondering if that Gotham skyline they keep showing off is accessible or not.

Basebf555 posted:Is that really true? I unlocked a combat challenge last night and I assumed there'd be a bunch more to unlock. They've always been unlockable, never available right from the start. the AR challengers are: -4 combat challenges, but none seem to be waved based (i have 3/4 unlocked) -4 predator challenges - 3 are what you expect (each medal is different conditions) and 1 is purely speed -5 racing challenges - probably a mix of single lap/full race time -4 tank mode challenges - a mix of points or survival (don't get hit once) -6 mixed batmobile challenges - so either combat + driving against time (clear zones) or APC chases or fast cobra clears, etc. The car stuff I think is mostly fine, the combat predator stuff is somewhat disappointing coming from having like 5-7 maps or so and getting extreme variations (more enemy variety) and being able to use modifiers. It's a shame cause this is the stuff I see in the open world late game or in post-game:  -2 regular brutes -2 medics -2 swords -2 stun rods -2 batons -2 guns -2 shields -2 regular dudes That there is easily like wave 4 extreme map kind of stuff you might see in AC or AO (well, minus the guns)

SonicRulez posted:Combat is alright, but I feel like they added maybe one too many enemy types. It's to the point where if a thug has anything I just spam special takedowns on them. Big guys, big guys with electro fists, whatever. Because otherwise it starts to be a clusterfuck. Usually Batman has good tracking and like, if you do a takedown, he'll home in on the biggest threats. But not always. I've definitely done Dual Takedowns with Nightwing on the standard mook standing right next to a big guy. Speaking of, the DLC better include a lot more of that. The fact that you can't replay Dual Predator without replaying the entire story is CRIMINAL. To the point where I'd take an entire Arkham game where you always have Robin (maybe back when Dick or Jason were Robin) in dual play.

SonicRulez posted:Dick is older, his own man, and....better than Tim. Yes I said it. That's why their whole plotline is "You're my favorite son. Go to Bludhaven and be their Batman. I'm prolly gonna die. Love you." Meanwhile Tim is the baby of the family and has had the least training, so Batman is more like "Please wait in this cage while I go do things. Sorry bout Babs." Made sense to me. I wish they'd put more Nightwing in the game. Or you know what? More Batfamily period. I get that it's supposed to center around Batman and him actually having Robin and Nightwing around in Knight shows how dire the situation is, but I feel like it would be a stronger moment if we spent more time with them. In Asylum, it made sense that Batman was alone since Joker specifically forbade any capes from showing up, so all you had was Oracle's voice to guide you. Helped the atmosphere too. But in City I felt like it was a little convenient for Batman to send Robin away for DLC and basically pretend Nightwing didn't exist. Origins went too far back, so there was no Robin at all. It comes back to my issue with Jason. Yes I'm still spoiling it despite the number of people who've flat out said it in the thread. But I think this game (despite being amazing) kinda hinged on me caring about Barbara, Tim, Dick, and really everyone in the Batfamily besides Alfred (oddly). But this is the only game we spent longer than 2 minutes with ANY of them outside Oracle's voice in the past few games. An opportunity was missed. I feel for everyone who doesn't/has never read comics and thus couldn't care about those guys.

Gatac posted:Does anyone else have trouble getting three stars in the Predator challenge Under The Pale Moonlight on PC? Specifically, I can't get the star for taking the drone controller down last. At first I thought it was because I hacked the drone and took it out of his control, then I restricted myself to just blinding it, then the last time I didn't interact with the drone at all, and it still didn't pop. Any clues?

Gatac posted:I actually just got it to work by doing a silent takedown on him when he was the last guy left and his drone had already self-destructed by itself. Didn't otherwise interfere with him or the drone at all. If the difference in scoring really comes down to a silent takedown vs. a glide kick and ground pound, then the requirement really should be clearer, but give a try and see if it works for you.

Knormal posted:Well, one of my Riddler trophies is glitched. No matter how many times I do the tower out in front of the orphanage I never get a pickup prompt when I walk up to the ball. Hopefully a patch will fix this, I really don't want to have to start all the way over just to be able to get the 100% ending. Anyone else seen this bug? I haven't been able to Google up any other instances. Are you on PC? I think I heard it had something to do with unlocking your framerate and the physics going wonky or something? (I personally didn't have any problems on PC, unlocked FPS when I did it at the time). If you're on console then, not sure why that would happen.

l33t b4c0n posted:I'm playing the PC version, collected 100% of the Riddler trophies, gotten all 69 stars in AR challenges, and am just finishing a New Game +. Yes, I am a masochist. The only two achievements left besides the New Game + completion are "A Leap of Faith" and "Blunt Trauma" which are total bullshit since the game doesn't have statistics tracking jumps or stealth finishers. I generally enjoy achievements, but I like to have some ability to track them. I've done at least 30 frickin jumps across at least 12 unique ramps, and the achievement hasn't popped. There also just weren't enough predator challenges or interesting medal conditions. Not to mention you can have so many drat distruptor shots and it basically can do anything in this game, cools down fairly fast, as does smoke (vs. 1 use in AC/AO). I'd just like to see just more predator maps in general and extreme variations of them. The one only timed predator challenge was interesting but I'd like to see all 3 (or 4?) banks each with their own timer as well instead of just the first bank. The layouts of the others are really fun and it's a shame they've gone to waste. I didn't mind some of the batmobile challenges. I personally hated the Riddler tracks. The race across the city and stop at areas to kill drones was probably the best use of the Batmobile. That or the armoured vehicle chase/takedowns as well. Straight up tank combat was way too monotonous in challenge mode and gave you way too little space to work with most of the time, which I think frustrated a lot of people. Cobra maps were okay once you get the lure, kinda curious why only Bleake and Founders and no Miagami map challenge though.

Brightman posted:I think most of the good comics were mentioned already, I really enjoyed Death of the Family, can't get my friend to read it though because he hates Joker's "faceless" design. If you want to follow up on Jason Todd stuff there's A Death in the Family and Under the Red Hood, although the ending of that gets comic book crazy as gently caress, animated film did it better, I think the current story line went with that retcon too. Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is good too, but the art is divisive as all get out in my experience, lot of influence on the first game obviously.

The only upgrades you should only go for when you've nothing else to spend are the disruptor - stun sticks and disruptor - drone gun upgrades. Those should be the last of the last. Especially the latter, why would you use it, except for comedic purposes?

The drone gun distruptor is actually the one for the tanks. 8 Waynetech points. Better just spend those on the Batmobile armour upgrades, roll up and shoot the drat thing instead.

CJacobs posted:Man, going back to Arkham Asylum is such a refresher from this game. Arkham Asylum has, I think, four enemy types. This game has twelve. I really really like this game but they went super batshit overboard with how many gadgets/moves Batman has and how many types of enemies there are and the tactics they require. You can also quickfire REC to disable the stunsticks temporarily. REC vs shield or brute causes them to swipe wildly around them. Drone dudes are predator only. Brutes (the big tall guys) require a beatdown or 2 takedown combos (Y+B/Triangle+Circle). Shield brutes actually need an aerial attack INTO a beatdown. The more advanced brutes are just variations on the same - shield/stun stick/blades. The most elite ones swap inbetween mid fight but have the same methods to deal with. Remember if you use a hard counter against a specific enemy type (aerial attack vs. shield, beatdown vs. brutes) you get invincibility frames, whereas you don't if you just do them on the 'wrong' type. Also to note if you pick up a weapon (bat, pipe, etc.) then you can just basic strike - it goes through all enemy types.

It makes everything look blurry including batman, the focus point of the camera (where there should be no chromatic aberration in the first place if we're pretending the game's camera works like a real-life one) and though it's I guess cinematic that way, it looks like crap. Camera industry spends millions upon millions of dollars to get rid of chromatic aberration; video game devs spend your precious CPU/GPU cycles loving up your screen.
