revised ad: ![]() ![]() [Source of both] DFu4ever posted:I just hope they keep the controls as simple as they have been for the first two games. I love that fighting is mostly based around timing your attacks rather than remembering some rote fighting game-esque pattern of button mashes to simply punch a guy. My biggest fear is that some dev will get the idea that making the fighting system more complex will somehow improve the game. "...it was apparent that the combat, stealth, and gadget selection remain unchanged." It would appear that Bullock is going to show up in some way, as well. redbackground fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 26, 2013 |

Dr. Abysmal posted:So I don't pay that much attention to DC comics - Copperhead in this game is a woman and I've read that this is the New 52 version of the character which used to be a man. However in the New 52 Justice League comics I have read, Copperhead is an actual snake man who has served as a jobber villain. Are there two Copperheads or something?

I'm wondering how they get around the ability to grapnel-boost around the city, since that (fabulous and super-fun) upgrade was still a prototype in City. Don't make me regular-grapnel the whole game!

I played a little bit last night since it came out at stupid midnight, and am having a blast so far. Fighting seems somehow more intense and quicker? Countering seems like there's definitely less time to hit that button, but I got into the rhythm pretty quickly. I'm only running a plucky GTX 260 at home, but the game is still running like melted butter. Alfred's textures always seem like they haven't loaded all the way--he looks like a rough draft. :/

I'm only 13% in, but: God why did WBM get rid of one-button quickfires?! I can add a keybind to Q for batarangs like in AC, but I still have to double-tap it and it sucks, I hate it, and it's stupid. Also, all of my custom keybindings were reset the last time I played, so that's even better. God why can't I move around on the map with my mouse?! Moving around with mandatory WASD keys is the absolute worst, and trying to get the cursor to line up with an icon takes waaaaaaay too long as it almost always skips right over it. At least remap WASD to my rebound WERD! Or shoot, just let me mouse-click! I must have spent 20 minutes just messing with 4 goons on a roof, bonking their heads together with the Remote Claw over and over and over again. ![]() I absolutely love just how angry Bats is at all times. Even though the crime scenes couldn't possibly lead you by the hand more, they're still surprisingly immersive and one of the best changes from Asylum/City. redbackground fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Oct 29, 2013 |

TheGreySpectre posted:For example I find that the grapple boost and grappling in general doesn't work as well in AO. The overall mechanic is the same it just doesn't work as well. That is a bad change. You answered your own question! "I find that the grapple boost and grappling in general doesn't work as well in AO." Batman obviously agreed, upgrades and modifies the early-version Accelerator to the Grapnel Boost over time, when it is fully deployed in City!

Ragequit posted:No! I had a chance to do the 4 exotic takedowns and it didn't take. I used gel to blow up a wall and take a guy down, I used a corner takedown, and a vent takedown. For the final one, I was hanging from a ledge and took a guy down that was standing near the edge. It doesn't mean sit on a ledge and take out a guy below, right? It's already hard enough to find a predator room that has a hard wall to break (this was at Blackgate). Why in the world is this Rank 6.

Orgophlax posted:So I'm pretty early into Origins (I'm only going after the 3rd SIM to track down Penguin), but I've been wandering around taking down towers and collecting Enigma packs. So I've done a good bit of combat at this point, but I've never had to double counter. Enemies just attack one at a time like in Arkham. I see they double/triple team you in the challenge mode, so will they start doing so as I progress the story, or did they take that out for story mode for some reason? I'm already on hard, btw.

Basebf555 posted:As an aside, where exactly is that quote from? I know for me personally I heard it first watching an episode of Justice League where Batman is sent an alternate universe where his double is a resistance fighter. He tries to warn Batman about going out to fight crime because "this isn't the world you know" or something like that. Batman's response? "Are criminals still superstitious and cowardly?". ![]() redbackground fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Nov 6, 2013 |

Scyantific posted:The martial artists are easy. If they're coming at you, assume it's a double attack and hit counter twice. If you attacked them first, expect a block and an immediate counter-attack and be prepared to throw up a counter counter-attack.
