Jurgan posted:The Joker fight was so disappointing- he injects himself with serum and turns into a giant monster, and then just stands around while you fight the same mooks again and again. The Joker's pretty hard to design a boss battle for imho, I'm not even sure if he should ever have one. AC and ACO used him much better.

I always liked the Killer Croc section of Asylum because everybody ELSE in the game talks about how scary Croc is, but Batman is always,"Pfft, whatever" about it, and is never for a single moment scared. Also, the zipline means you don't have to walk slowly, you just zip about casually, and whenever Croc shows up you just casually toss a batarang in his face without blinking. Seeing him getting increasingly angry as Batman consistently fails to give a poo poo is great, and the end section where he has set everything up in advance to take Croc out is great.

I just think it was a bit disappointing the way we constantly heard Croc say poo poo like, "I'm going to eat you alive, Batman!" And then you get to his lair and basically hit him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, as if he were a dog. Poison Ivy was a decent boss fight, but they didn't even explore anything new with it. All I did was strafe and throw batarangs. They really should've incorporated the gadgets you just obtained.

It was a bunch of batarangs, gel, sequencer, (ultra) batclaw, and line launcher. By the time you get to Ivy, the newest actual gadget is the line launcher, and you've alrady run through Croc's lair with it.

Meh...that fight pretty much fit the criticism most people seem to have about most of Asylum's boss fights: throw a bunch of guys and maybe a Titan thug or two at 'em! Other than being immune to instant takedowns, Joker was pretty much just another dude in that fight.

There we go, I can claim to be one of those guys who became the night now.  Timeless Appeal posted:While it could have been better, I think that the Joker's small amusement park in Origins was a good boss fight for the Joker even though it didn't feel like a boss fight. I don't think the section was that great, but I really loved the idea of [spoiler]the Joker putting Batman in a position where he for example [spoiler]horribly hurt someone if he failed to do what he needed to save them. I think there is mechanical stuff you can do that might not be particularly amazing, but compliment the narrative stuff enough that it gives it the psychological edge that makes the Joker work. Yeah it wasn't bad. If there was to be a Joker boss fight I'd expect it to be framed more like an elaborate chase sequence with imperiled hostages used to endanger Bats and keep him from catching up rather than a straight up brawl that Joker would just lose at unspectacularly. When I saw the rollercoaster carts and the amusement park, that's exactly what I thought I was walking into at first. It was still good for what it was though.

doctor 7 posted:Picked it up myself. How is all the content? Sidenote: people's complains about the story combat difficulty on hard, they might just blanket put on the tougher/faster/stronger campaign modifier on hard difficulty, which seems to explain all the enemies flying at you or coming at you faster than you realize vs. normal combat challenges, just a thought. Predator mode suffers the same-ish as Catwoman and Nightwing did in AC, as in they don't have glide control after you leap off a vantage point (if it's a crutch, please pillory me, but still) and I don't know why for the life of me there isn't at least a reticule or something for them when you jump off (but not onto an enemy where you will get an icon at least). Luckily unlike Catwoman or Nightwing you have actual (slightly gimped) detective vision for Bruce. Again, real lack of tools don't help in predator mode since you can't lure anyone after they freak out which means you need to reset the map to try again for certain challenges (leaving ledge pulls for last when the AI refuses to climb ladders is not great) and they don't go into detail any non-Batman analogue gadgets work (still no idea how the purple smoke bomb works when you aim it, for example.) Otherwise the campaign pre-bits were okay, a shame it was pretty much just grumpy Asian si-fu balks at you for being non-lethal and ninjas with guns being the funniest thing in predator maps. Too bad they don't have as entertaining chatter as regular street mooks. I do wish Shiva got more of an introduction, but I guess they couldn't get her VO (was in Kelly Hu? I swear it was) to come back for a few lines.

After finally grabbing all of the Riddler drives, I can unequivocally say that Bats should have just left them to be found because there was nothing in there that was going to throw Gotham into chaos and it was all boring poo poo between established bad guys that Batman had no real reason to hide from everyone. Sure the commissioner would have had some dirty laundry aired, but uh, he's dead anyway. Go Team Riddler!

I did all three. I liked the Anarky Tags and the Pinkney Plaques, but the Riddler stuff was annoying. There are less interview tapes than in other games (seriously, over three games Bane still only has ONE tape?) and the Data Handlers would glitch and not appear at times. Or Batman would knock them out instead of interrogating them and I'd have to restart from the last checkpoint. And then there wasn't even a satisfactory conclusion to the sidequest...

Hahah I have to get all 30 balloons in one go in Harley Quinn's revenge? gently caress that. On the plus side I finished Campaign Gold for Batman in AC (All 108 medals in the original campaigns). Now I feel less lovely at predator maps.

I don't mind chasing down all the collectables but I'll be damned if they don't eventually tell me where they all are (I really liked how say Sleeping Dogs gated putting collectables on the minimap). Good luck. Even with maps and video walkthroughs I still can't find that loving balloon. I'm starting to think it's bugged or something.

I got Origins as a gift over the holidays and I didn't see this answered in the OP, but I was wondering if there were any cut-off points in the game for getting certain collectibles/side quests. I seem to recall something of the sort in Arkham City (or Asylum) and just wanted a heads up before I dove too deep into Origins. I think I just IDed the Joker as the guy present at "Black Mask"'s murder by hacking GCPD's network, or slightly after that.

Some of the "Worst Nightmare" achievements are tied to specific predator rooms (which you can only do once per playthrough) so you're probably going to want to use a walkthrough for those.

There are no cut-off points for sidequests in Arkham City, and the same is true for Origins. But, as Phylodox said, it would be a good idea to do Ranks 1 - 5 of Worst Nightmare before the bank since Rank 6 can only be done there.

Have they announced any Harley Quinn's revenge-esque DLC for AO? By that I mean a story mode that isn't challenge maps? Like I am half expecting Long Halloween-esque shennanigans with Alberto Falcone.

I really hope they do something that's considered very close to an existing comic book storyline because there's so many costumes to use and it'd be awesome to feel like they are actually fitting with the story being told. Playing a "Long Halloween" story in the actual costume would be badass.

A DLC where you play as Batman/Robin at Haly's Circus to track down Tony Zucco would be awesome. I get the feeling it's a Joker DLC, though, considering it's called "Cold, Cold Heart", the song Joker sings in the ending credits.
