How are critical counters supposed to work? Do I tap counter a second time before Batman hits the guy back, or just wait till the last second before the thug's initial hit would have landed? I've unlocked the ability and tried both ways, but I can't seem to figure it out.

How do I fix the camera? It keeps swinging the wrong way. But if I change it in the menu, it also becomes convinced that it's opposite-day when in first-person mode.

So far this game is great, it's clearly a rehash of Arkham City with a little more room and a bit more freedom of purpose, but they've added a lot in many subtle ways. I'm not sick of it at all. The (first real boss fight) Deathstroke fight was awesome, felt fast paced and fluid, even if I got the 'you pinned me to a wall' maneuver about 100 times. There's a scene later in the GCPD building over the SWAT team where Batman says basically 'I can't take all these guys' and advises you to sneak around all 20 odd guys half of whom are armed, did anyone else just dive in and kick all their asses anyway? I know I did

And I just ran into the bug. How the hell this got through QA? I notice that batman's hands are clipping when he holds onto the vent. I'm noticing certain animations get stuck if there is something in the way. I almost couldn't finish a fight because of the goons got stuck behind the chair and wall.

I know I'm going to get hit hard for this but.. I don't really like this game. Hell, I think I hate it. Part of it is the keyboard controls but another part is that the PC port is kind of poo poo. I also hate how finicky combat is. I keep trying to disarm a gun wielding dude but I end up punching the guy next to him. Basically as long as there is a gun in combat I'm hosed. This brings me to the next point. The skill point system. I hate how so many useful abilities are locked behind other less useful abilities. I don't want gobs of health when I know disarm and destroy could solve half my problems with the game. I also feel like there are too many gadgets in the game. What's the point of concussion grenades? All they do is make enemies fire their gun wildly. Why would I use that? There's also far too many enemies in the map. It gets to the point where I'm just running from combat constantly because of how boring it is to fight through a bunch of trash mobs to take down a transmitter. I never thought I would get tired of Batman's combat system but this game absolutely pushed me to my limit as to how much I can take. I just don't feel like Batman. I feel like I'm stumbling through every encounter fighting the lovely keyboard controls (I really should buy a gamepad at this point, shouldn't I?) and wandering around stumbling over poo poo. The camera flailing everywhere doesn't help either. Maybe it'll click at some point. Maybe I suck at adapting to the changes. I really hope it's just me though, it feels like a good game is underneath all this but I can't seem to get to it. I absolutely adored Arkham city/asylum and 100% both. I had hoped that this one would be just as good and didn't care if it was a re-skin and whatnot. Now I'm not so sure. *edit* Just remembered a question I had. Does anyone else have a bug where they cannot counter martial artist enemies? Every time I click the right mouse button I just go into batarang aiming mode and get hit. It's only these enemies that cause this glitch to happen. Red Mundus fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Otherwise it really sounds like a gamepad might solve your problem and the PC port is a bit poo poo which is unfortunate.

The keyboard controls were never a great fit for the arkham games. Sure, they worked, but they weren't a patch on the pad. This remains the case. Haven't seen anything beyond keyboard controls thats a PC specific fault. Runs great, looks great. Seems a solid enough version. (With the Physx stuff looking great, I'd say definitive version)

I know this is, and always will be, the right answer but it always irks me that developers will release a pc game with poo poo keyboard controls. At the very least let me bind things to the extra mouse buttons I have!

What the hell? I'm trying to unfuck the radio tower near GCPD, and once I hack the terminal thing, Riddler locks the window, so I pull down the grate above with the batclaw, shoot a line up there... and Batman suddenly forgets how to enter a loving vent. What the gently caress do I do now? Nothing makes him actually loving get into the god damned vent, and that's the only loving way out. EDIT: Specifically this loving one. He won't go through into the vent. loving nothing I do gets him into that god damned vent. The only thing I can do is grapple up there, and drop back down. Batman went full loving retard.

So how big is this game compared to Far Cry 3? And besides the radio towers, are their "fortresses" or some kind or another to take over and then they stay yours? That's the kind of poo poo I love in games.

I'm trying really had to love this game and it keeps doing things to change my mind. I had to install it to my 360 HD because it wouldn't start at all, then it crashed on me twice. Now I just finished an amazing boss fight, after several tries, and the game crashes on me again. It's so drat frustrating.

Samurai Sanders posted:They never had radio towers to hack either, and that's apparently a feature all games made in Montreal have. Another such feature is forts to stealthily kill everyone in and then they're yours, so I wondered if that was here too. Yeah no territories to conquer in this game. The Radio Towers are basically because of a certain villain.

Gunder posted:Found a show stopping bug in one of the side quests. When you're sorting out the radio tower in the same part of the city that contains the GCPD building, you enter a small room, the only exit from which is a small vent high up in the ceiling. After bat-clawing the vent cover off, you grapple up into the vent only to find that you can't actually make Batman climb up and into the vent, instead he just clings uselessly to the outside of the vent like he's hanging from a ledge. Tried reloading the game several times, same result every time. Luckily, it doesn't checkpoint you as soon as you enter that room, other wise i'd be stuck in that little room until they patch the game. As it stands I was able to reload the last checkpoint and just continue on with the main story line. MrBadidea posted:Just got hit by this. I spent about 10 minutes farting around checking the keyboard bindings trying to see if I was missing something obvious. Then I spent another 5 minutes wondering if this was some rear end in a top hat anti-piracy showstopper, like what was used in Asylum, and the game was flaking out thinking my legit Steam copy was Quoting this from a few pages back because I just ran into this one, in case anyone else does and is wondering what the gently caress Batman's problem is. Fortunately you can fast travel to get out of there. edit: derp beaten two posts up

Based on what I've heard from reviewers, it seems like they literally took Arkham City, changed the name to Arkham Origins and made absolutely no other changes, but called it a different game. Is this what happened?
