Pierson posted:EDIT: I've been hearing from friends the only part of this game that doesn't measure up might be the Batmobile itself. Any truth to this? Literally every review of the game is explicity saying this. Great Batman game, probably the definitive Batman experience, Batmobile sections are repetitive and boring and they keep making you do them.

You could open the vent to enter, but the game didn't recognize it as a grappel point, so you just couldn't get to the room you needed to get to.

evilmiera posted: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? Comic book villains, dude. poo poo, just within this single franchise, Scarecrow has been both a whiny-voiced dweeb and a grizzled visage of fear. His motivation is To Be A Bad Guy.

Kin posted:Ok, so a quick one, if i'm looking at the overall map and i can see riddler challenge counters in the bottom left, they're counting the ones that should be remaining visible on my map right? No, they're counting the ones that should still exist in that place. They're invisible on the map itself unless you find a Riddler informant who will fill them in on the map for you. If there aren't as many things on the map as it says in that counter, it means you need to find more Riddler informants to reveal them. Or just find them yourself, of course.

Flytrap posted:Other playable characters is definitely something that needs to be patched in at some point. Heck, the Batfamily all pretty much have the same movement options, we saw how Catwoman can move in City, and Harley could move around similar to her because of that concoction Ivy made for her. Yeah, I loved freeroaming as Catwoman, and considering I love this game's portrayal of her much more than the last one, I'm even more disappointed there's not currently any challenge maps or freeroaming with her. Sounds like they'll add that down the line, possibly, maybe, but dammit, I want it now.

Sure, but considering every single character in a Batman game exists to wait until Batman does the thing, I'm just happy that I'm not cringing every time she opens her mouth in this game.

The worst thing is ENDING SPOILERS he busts his rear end pumping out all these top-tier new gadgets. The disruptor and the second Batmobile are still prototypes at the start of the game. And then at the end of the game, his big thanks is Bruce Wayne exploding himself and ostensibly closing down the entire company, which I would imagine leaves Lucius out of a job.

CJacobs posted:The fact that the twist itself is built upon the fact that Bruce is a human being and has the capability to be wrong despite being Batman makes it way less bad than it would be otherwise imo. Also, I don't think it's fair to call it bad if you're one of the people who knew what the twist would be going in because of how it plays out in the relevant comics. Batman cannot possibly have the same information that you, the outside observer, do because he's part of the story and you're not. Some people in this thread have been doing that and I just don't think it's really a fair judgment. I just think it was a bad marketing call. They name the game after him, they plaster him all over the ads, they make him the center of the entire campaign for this game, naturally people are going to try and solve the very flat mystery while they're waiting months for the game to come out. If all we knew of the Knight before release was seeing him like standing behind Scarecrow in a trailer or something, just a little tease here and there, we wouldn't have had months to spoil it all and it might actually work. Basically marketing is the worst and ruins everything. The game's marketing was detrimental to the story of the game itself. Maybe they were trying to do a misdirect so people would be talking about the Knight as opposed to certain other characters who make an appearance. I dunno. But I think a better ad campaign would have been to focus on the full campaign of "Oh man, it's all of Gotham, and all of Batman's worst enemies are on the loose!", but then that's pretty much exactly Arkham City.

blackguy32 posted:A lot of stuff feels kind of half assed. The Line Launcher feels like it doesn't need to be there. Yeah, I think there's legitimately one time outside of a Riddler puzzle it's even useful, and then it's just to save you from having to grapple back up to the other side. Which ends up making the Riddler puzzle drat near impossible to figure out because it requires you to use a gadget you barely use, and a special feature on that gadget that has pretty much no other reason to exist.

Aquasnake posted:People keep bringing up Camera changes in the Batmobile boss fights, but I can't remember a single one of these, I don't really remember any part where the camera was out of my control, and if it moves the just put it back, If you accidentally went to the wide angle Batmobile view just view change a few times until you go back to whichever mode you prefer. I will say the first person view is superior for any ceiling driving though. Uh, no, the camera most definitely 100% pulls back super far in both the parts where you're being directly chased by the Excavator, as well as whenever you shoot the Cloudburst and it starts chasing you around the streets. It's not accidentally switching the view setting, it is moving the camera back into an even wider angle to show more of what's going on. It definitely happens in at least two separate occasions in the game, both of which have it happen during actions you need to do repeatedly, and there's no way to just keep the camera at a normal user setting for those points, outside of maybe doing it in first person mode. It didn't give me any trouble, but I distinctly remember both times it happened, because I thought "Man, this is gonna gently caress things up for a lot of people."

Kilometers Davis posted:Probably buying this on the PS4 today. I was going between this and The Witcher 3 but considering I'm 100% fiercely addicted to ESO right now I figured I'd grab this now and buy TW3 later on when I need another fantasy fix down the line. Anyway, I was wondering if I should know anything about the DLC situation before jumping in. Is there anything I should buy early or is it a play for a while then buy whatever appeals to you kind of deal. If anything I'd probably be mostly interested in skins because I actually only play games to dress up my dolls. There's one free skin pack that's been released, and beyond that nobody knows, except that the season pass is like 30 bucks.

Steve2911 posted:I must have driven/flown around Miagani Island a dozen times and I can't find the last Militia checkpoint. Is there one in a really obscure location there? Use your detective vision to look for big groups of thugs standing still, that'll help track them down. Also keep an ear out for helicopter chatter, sometimes they'll spot a group and radio it in, and you can pinpoint which heli is transmitting in detective mode, and then see where they're shining the spotlight.

Aquasnake posted:Anyone found a consistent way of hanging from the police helicopters? In detective vision is says they're a good place to hang, but you can't grapple to them while you're gliding, and if you just try to glide into them you get turned away, I think maybe one time I was able to grapple up to one from the roof of a building but I was just trying it again for several minutes and it didn't want to give it to me. I managed to grapple onto one once. Only one time. If there's any special trick to it, I've yet to find it. I've tried it from the ground, I've tried it from the rooftops, I've tried it while gliding, but as far as I can tell, it's just hosed.

Aquasnake posted:Its a good vantage point for you to detective mode like, most of the island below you. Yeah, if you're trying to track down, say, firefighters, you can just hang off a chopper and look below with detective mode until you see a large group of thugs standing around, or listen to what the helicopter radios in so you know what it's looking at. But considering how extremely difficult it is to latch on, you're better off just gliding around at high speed.

All equipment is kept, but not necessarily all the "upgrades" to them. So, for example, you have to activate the terminals to tilt the blimps and stuff like that, so there's still all the usual storyline gating.

Speedball posted:While I appreciate them making Scarecrow more visually scary his TV rants weren't quite the right touch. The problem with him as a villain is that his power is to make Batman the villain. Like, his whole schtick as a villain requires him to step back everytime he does something to let the story focus on Batman's inner demons. What they could have done is have Scarecrow work against Batman externally. Batman's untouchable, but his friends aren't. Subject Barbara and Gordon and Tim and everybody to their worst fears. Have them turn against Batman somehow. Basically what they did with the Arkham Knight, except not stupid. It even thematically ties in.

I feel like I remember hearing way back, like when they first introduced the dual fighting mechanic, that they were gonna include more stuff for other characters down the line. Although the shortness of the DLC so far doesn't give me huge hopes, but at least some more challenge maps or something, hopefully. It's pretty dumb that they give you skins for characters you literally can't even see once you've progressed far enough in the game.
