Plus most games now a days are day one embargo because launch day patches give them more time to fix problems. Publishers don't want reviews of prepatched games.

The reviewers still get the game well before launch day, day one patches don't really affect reviews that much.

Also: Why the hell is Critical Strike now a sidequest reward (and not an immediately available sidequest either)? That poo poo is loving essential.

Really, what I can figure is:

If you prefer story over gameplay, Origins.

If you prefer gameplay over story, Asylum.

If you want a Jack-of-all-Trades, City.

That doesn't really work since Asylum has the worst combat of the three Arkham games by far.

That fight is really easy of you don't try to do anything fancy and just fight like you would fight against a normal group of goons. It's just countering and attacking like always, I got hit maybe once in that fight after I realized that there is no gimmick to it.

How do you dodge the dashing though?

In the same way I dodge all unblockable charging attacks, I roll to the side.

I still think both Arkham city and Origins went to the wrong direction with the riddler stuff. Asylum did those much better, but then again I don't think that open world was the right way to go with the franchise either.

So I completed almost every side quest and collected probably 90% of the Riddler trophies. I get to the final boss battle and I died on my first attempt with Bane almost immediately after he crushes your back. I reload and skip the long cutscene but it ends up skipping the combat and just goes to the next cutscene. After that cutscene loads with Joker grabbing Gordon, it then loads the cutscene of Bane being resuscitated and taking the experimental venom. We fall through the floor and then gameplay begins with a black screen and a prompt to use the shock gloves to save Bane. After the prompts are finished, it loads to a black screen. I can pause the game and see my surroundings but when I unpause, its just black. Restarted from the last checkpoint causes this series of events to happen all over again. I cannot progress and finish the game now. Bane seems to have vanished.

gently caress you devs. I just wasted all that time going for 100% completion.

I just got this same bug. Don't really know what to do.

Steam just downloaded an update and the final boss bug is fixed now.

Or maybe it didn't fix it since it since the final boss doesn't seem to show up at all. Goddamnit.

You can just give yourself all the steam achievements you want with steam achievement manager, if you feel so inclined.
