It's coming out in a month. So it's probably going through cert right now. But perhaps we'll all just receive a gigantic day-one patch.

Did I see Batman straight up throw a dude like 100 feet in the air?

I guess he essentially flew around in fights from the other games.

I still kind of want a Batman game where you're expected to solve mysteries as the player without Batman giving you the answer immediately.

Not physical puzzles. Actually mysteries. Kinda like in the Miles Edgeworth: Ace Investigations games, where the characters collects logic pieces and it's up to the player to put them together.

Not in a AAA-game. It would just frustrate everyone. A shame, really.

Those animations don't look very fluid, unlike the rest of the arkham games except Origins.

I've been replaying the Arkham games, and only just today did I notice that Penguin in City has a tracheotomy, but somehow a completely normal voice. Which must have been a late-in-development decision, because I can definitely imagine a voicebox turning out very penguin-like but hard to understand.

Why do they bother having other characters to play? Nobody gets a Batman game and then doesn't want to play as Batman. It's like getting a TMNT game and not playing as Raph.

It's just a shame that we never got a co-op Arkham game. Although trying to imagine how to make it work without two players constantly screwing up each other's combos is mind boggling.

Assault on Arkham is apparently canon, according to the Arkham Knight comics. King Shark's son shows up at one point.

Well canon according to the comics, and probably not within the game itself, considering that Deadshot's characterization is pretty damned different? Unless I am remembering the games wrong.

"Cool", level headed, not really villainous at all. He's literally the hero of the story and portrayed as a bad rear end who isn't really afraid of anything, not even Batman, IIRC. I only saw it once though. To be honest, I wonder if they originally meant for Deadshot to be Deathstroke in the movie. I should watch it again and complete this recent play through of City.

Is Origins canon or what?

Firefly is showing up in Arkham Knight, but that's not exactly concrete proof on its own.

Not sure if Origins is canon, but that seems pretty in-line with his characterization there - Deadshot's something of a fatalist who isn't scared of Batman (and outright says this to the guy's face with a completely calm heart rate) and doesn't seem to care whether or not he dies, if not actively suicidal. I can't remember how he was in City though, so :shobon:

He's def not suicidal in Assault. What with the whole daughter angle. He's pretty much flat out a hero. I feel like I remember him barely being an anti hero. Especially with that ending. It reminded me of the Wanted movie in a lot of ways actually.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So it's a bit of a moot point because i can pick it up at any time but is it possible to pre-order the season pass on steam even though my pre-order of the actual game is over at GMG and I wont be able to register the base game until the day of launch?

Basically, I'm wondering if steam will let you buy the DLC for a game if you don't have the actual game.

Origins is so far back timeline wise(year 2) that it doesn't matter really, but the second electrocutioner shows up for about 5 pages before getting his poo poo kid in then later iced by Arkham Knight in the new arkam comic plus i liked origins, despite its problems. but Assault on arkham was dumbshit though.
