And be real careful getting on that thing because if you dive into the water and have to restart it'll probably gently caress up again. Physics! Already tried that, didn't work. Guess I'll try a couple more times before giving up entirely. They better patch this poo poo soon.

Gonkish posted: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. You can fast travel out of the room after hacking the tower. Still, it's a pretty glaring bug.

Zsinjeh posted:Thanks man! And yeah, the camera thing is really loving bugging me too. I feel like I'm getting a hang of the combat but then someone just pops out of nowhere with a 60 feet bat swing and clocks me because I couldn't see him coming Early on it annoyed me but otherwise I was okay. Later though, when enemy types really start to amp up it will absolutely push your resolve to the limit. I ended up rage-quitting when a group of gun-toting enemies gunned me down because I couldn't even see them. I have the same problem with heavy dudes clocking me unawares.

I just beat it. Had tons of fun. It really has the best story of all the three games, but it will be appreciated most by comic book fans. The references to The Man Who Laughs, Killing Joke and Year One are really elegant and well-done. I think the story was so strong because it was pretty simple, they didn't try to force as many twists as they could like in City. The voicework is also top notch. I like pretty much all the stuff they added to the gameplay. The fights are way tougher than they used to be. You WILL be tested on your skills with clearing larger mobs. Predator stuff was mostly the same but the maps were fun. And boss fights are fantastic, nearly every one is memorable. I didn't care for Riddler collectibles and the lack of puzzles to scan. These were really fun before but I guess they'd be kinda difficult to do in origins story. There are still technical problems, glitches, bugs. The camera doesn't work as well as in previous games, there's some texture pop-in. The changelog on the first patch will be huge. Skill tree is bad, locking the most valuable upgrades behind secondary ones. And Mad Hatter side mission was just awful, terribly designed and with poor controls. Judging by negative posts here - if you didn't like previous games that much and are not a big Batman fan don't even bother with this one. It is much more difficult and sometimes even skims on the tutorials. Terminally Bored fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Every single combat mechanic unlocks an optional tutorial at the Batcave once you unlock it, the game even tells you about them and pretty much every gadget requires you to use it to leave the area you get it. I'm honestly not having the camera problems which may be PC related. I do hate the skill tree though. I sit on upgrade points because I can't unlock the stuff I want to unlock which isn't a fun thing to do

It pretty much is PC related. It gets in the way of certain boss fights which causes my death and it is a bit frustrating. Spoiler for a boss fight Especially Bane. Goddamn did the camera piss me off. YES LET'S make him charge you automatically. WHAT'S that? Hugging a wall? Camera is going to gently caress with you and you can't see the angle of the hit. BULLSHIT

Just encountered a big PC bug concerning Riddler trophies. If you collect one in new game +, the progress won't register in your normal game but the trophy will disappear. A map icon will still show up but it leads to an empty spot. I just screwed myself out of two data packs and won't be able to collect everything unless this is fixed.

Which tower is it you're supposed to avoid in the PC version until we get a patch? There's a tower just outside of the Penguins boat that i cleared the thugs from. Riddler started yammering away and I punched a glowing green box just to the side of it. Riddler said "well that's one way to do it" but the power was still on the gate and I couldn't open it. I couldn't see any wires or boxes with detective vision either. Was the power supposed to go off once I smashed that box?

This game is really fun! I think it's probably my favourite too. Only bug I have encountered so far on PC is every now and then there are thugs that are supposed to be KO'd that are still standing up, which ruins combos you can't actually hit them. Here's an example:

I really wish that punching shields and armored enemies wouldn't stop your combo dead. It wouldn't be so bad if they wouldn't stand right next to other enemies, making it impossible to choose which one gets hit. City had the same problem and it drove me goddamn crazy.

Rookersh posted:I'm pretty sure this is the best Batman game. Agree with all of this. Origins > Asylum > City (imho of course). So far I've enjoyed the boss fights (leagues ahead of anything in the previous two) Bane particularly felt brutal and the Joker red hood sequence was imaginative/cool. The combat does require more thought and quick fire gadgets seem pretty eseential. Looking forward to NG+ on I am the night mode, never played either of the other two more than once.

For those of you on NG+, do you start with all upgrades/gadgets? How about challenge completion? Can't see myself getting 15/15 Worst Nightmare on this first playthrough unless there are a hell of a lot more Predator Maps near the end.

So how many graphics does this game have? I've just ordered a shiny new gfx card and it comes with Batman. Is it Arkham City quality? That looked stunning with PhysX enabled even with a slightly older card.

NaDy posted:So how many graphics does this game have? I've just ordered a shiny new gfx card and it comes with Batman. Is it Arkham City quality? That looked stunning with PhysX enabled even with a slightly older card. It looks as good as Arkham City, with no noticeably major enhancements over that. The Physx stuff is a bit better, with snow simulation. However, despite being technically equal to AC, I'd say that AO is a less impressive graphical showpiece, due to the heavy use of pre-rendered cutscenes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the previous games had very little pre-rendered CG stuff, but AO is chock full of it. Every single major cutscene is CG, including most of the cool non-controlled fight scenes. I seem to remember that stuff being in-engine previous. The CG looks nice, but I'm really not impressed by CG at all anymore and I think it would have been cooler to have that stuff just be in-engine. The cinematics in AC were awesome because they pushed the graphical engine really far with them, and that game turned out to be easily one of the best looking games out there. AO is unremarkable because they don't push it at all and rely on the CG instead.

THE CHORSE posted:"I won't stand a chance against that many armed men." I'm guessing this will get patched next week right? There's no way that they'd let a bug this big go on for long. How did this even slip by QA. I mean if it happens 100% of the time on PC then surely it should have been picked up? The only bug i've come across so far is pulling someone through the floor into the grate when i tried to do a grate takedown. Instead of popping out and pulling him in, i got the animation for regular silent takedown but whilst glitching through the floor.

I think this might be my favorite Arkham game. It's balls-hard in places (not being able to cancel into counters makes the fights a lot more difficult for me than they used to be), which I like, and the story is simple and well-executed enough to give it more impact than Arkham City's constant "now things are even more serious than before!" twists. Like, to provide sort of a frame of reference, the shootout on top of the hotel, with helicopters and bombs and Bane with a rocket launcher as everything burned, or the entire final level for that matter, had much more of a 'holy poo poo, this has escalated so far' feel to them than helicopters roaming around and literally blowing up Arkham City did. (major spoilers here) I was disappointed at first when the Joker hijacked the plot again, but they did such a good job with it that I did a complete 180. It's weird, his segments have everything I dislike about Joker stories: insane sky-high body counts, 'why don't you kill me Batman' conversations, and moments where everything everyone does is somehow feeding into his big retarded supervillain plan...and yet I really enjoyed them. Go figure, I guess. I also liked the boss encounters a lot. Do you guys remember when Arkham Asylum came out and it was amazing and felt like it did everything right, except the boss fights? Seriously, they were awful. With the exception of maybe Poison Ivy they were pretty universally bad, just an unoriginal, lazily-designed slog in the middle of an otherwise-pretty-great game. Playing through fights like Deathstroke, Firefly, and the final boss (man that was tense), I was amazed at how far the series has come in three games. The large-scale melees are better, too; there's a sequence towards the end where you fight like 30 guys and it is glorious.

Anybody mind telling me what Batman says at the end of the Lady Shiva fight? e: Like I got most of it he told Alfred to tell the GCPD about the bodies, one alive, one dead. Alfred said something about him being ok, Bats said the night isn't whatever, and I accidentally cut him off at that point by hitting the B button. Was trying to clear the flashing combo meter on the screen, but it also dropped the call. I was also in the midst of getting bombarded by popups/upgrade/level up/achievement notifications. Just want to make sure it ends on "We've got a hell of a lot more night Alfred" rather then "We have a hell of a lot more night Alfred, oh and also here is plot relevant stuff."

If you're having PS3 frame rate issues then save and restart. There's some bug related to using the fast travel that causes massive slowdown currently. Also Adam West Batman 66 is the best skin.

Solomonic posted:the final boss (man that was tense) The final boss made me feel more like Batman than any other moment in the series. Having to stalk around in the shadows, taking Bane by surprise, was great, and he was legit loving scary. Also, tip that I didn't realize until just before the final boss: If you run and slide into a vent grating, you'll go straight through it instantly.

I didn't realize you could slow down remote control batarangs until about 20 minutes ago. I got all the collectibles in Asylum, City, and am halfway done with all of them here. I just had to retry 50+ times for the remote control trickshots, and thought they were supposed to be tough.
