Agreed, dont care at all about the car. The fact that Bats seems to be able to straight up fly infinitely now should have been enough to take care of the much larger area.

To be fair the car's the newest, shiniest thing in the game. There's probably only so much they could squeeze out of new challenge maps and so on when it comes to advertising.

Grey Fox posted:I was glad to see the Batmobile not getting hung up on little pieces of the environment (that corner of the fire escape that breaks apart rather than snagging the car), which was probably one of my biggest concerns. It's super friggin annoying to be driving a tank or other large vehicle in an open-world game where your size is more of a disadvantage than anything else. The Batmobile has two modes: A car mode and a "tank" mode. In the tank mode you basically have shooter controls. You swap between them at a button press. At least as of a year ago the movement of the tank wasn't an issue.

Dapper_Swindler posted:tell us more please. if you dont mind. how were the controls. They were okay. It wasn't my favorite part of the demo but it wasn't bad or anything. You basically have "shooter' style controls and you move around quickly, including having a dodge. You've got a machine gun and a big cannon (weak and strong attack) and basically have to weave around enemy attacks avoiding damage while hitting them. Once you do enough damage without taking damage yourself you get a takedown and can missile enemies for an instant-kill. Get enough and you get a missile swarm which is hilarious. It was less fun than on-foot combat but it wasn't bad or anything. It just didn't have the same cool flow. It felt like it would be fun enough to play in short bursts but I absolutely wanted to get back to being Batman ASAP since the new combat moves were fuckin' awesome.

Everyone's bitching about Knight's DLC, but Arkham City was pretty gnarly with crap too. I remember buying the game new and spending like two hours downloading the robin and catwoman packs. I later threw money at them to play as nightwing, and then waited months later for the short and rather disappointing Harley Quinn's Revenge. I drunkenly picked up arkham origins season pass while on sale, but need to rent the game again before Knight comes out. I heard Cold heart was decent.

A question for people who know more about the series than I do, which is admittedly almost everyone: I have the GotY editions of both Asylum and City on Steam. However, I have a shot at the PS3 of both for very little money, and I am really keen on the idea of playing them on my big telly. Despite quite a lot of searching, I have not been able to fully answer this question: Is the content for the PC GotY editions of Asylum & City the same as the content for the PS3 versions? If the PS3 GotY editions have the same content (or more) than the PC versions, I am probably going to get them on the cheap. Thanks in advance for letting me know.

For me the coolest thing is being able to bust into interiors with no loadscreens. If they can make smart use of that throughout the larger map, I think the difference is going to be extreme. I think that's the real missing piece to the whole puzzle.

Sweet. Got it. I was definitely not cool with paying $40 for a season pass, but with GMG, I'm only paying what I would have for the base game anyway.

Making Gotham big and seamless is the most exciting thing to me. I don't plan on using the Batmobile much for navigation on my first playthrough. I want to really take in the environments, look for interiors, and patrol the city rooftop-to-rooftop as much as possible. Hopefully the goon dialog is as good as previous games because that was a big incentive to explore every nook and cranny of Arkham City.

GMG isn't that hard to get refunds for on pre-orders. Just buy the whole premium bundle with the 40% code and contact them on getting a refund for the original vanilla copy. You'll have it within a week. I did the same thing with PoE when they offered the Royal Edition later on.

That would certainly be a lot easier. I am curious about a lot of these achievements, particularly the one about the Cloudburst. Some possible bosses in the game seem to include Man-Bat, Deacon Blackfire, Hush, and Ventriloquist.

If you have the PC version there are mods to put the Joker back in. He's also in the Mac version, because I assume whatever contract they signed with Sony just said "This content cannot ever appear on Microsoft platforms."

The Achievements don't seem as spoilery as the video makes them out to be, can't really ascertain any twists from the titles.No references to the Court of Owls or Thomas Wayne Jr., who I have pegged for the Arkham Knight. Cloudburst is probably some plot thing to do with releasing gas over Gotham. Unless of course, Cloudburst the character is in the game because he is the Arkham Knight!

Maybe it means across the game and not all in one go. I really have no excitement to play with the Batmobile. It just seems like it'll take away from the whole "running across rooftops" thing that I really enjoy about Batman. Hopefully I'm wrong though. That Ivy segment looked short enough to not be too painful.
