Update: 10/28/2015 Batman: Arkham Knight has returned to Steam. It still probably doesn't work.Star War Sex Parrot posted:It's back on Steam. The next Batman installment, Batman: Arkham Knight, is out NOW for current gen consoles. It is also returning to PC on October 28th, 2015. It's more Batman and you all know the score by now. The game takes place after the events of Arkham City so prepare for spoilers if you haven't finished that yet. Wikipedia posted:...the game's main storyline follows Batman as he confronts the Scarecrow, who has launched an attack on Gotham City, causing a city-wide evacuation. Aided by the mysterious Arkham Knight, an original character created for the game, the Scarecrow unites Batman's greatest foes in a plot to finally kill the Dark Knight. The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration. Arkham Knight also introduces the Batmobile as a playable vehicle, which can be used for transportation or combat. The game expands Batman's arsenal of gadgets and combat attacks and offers a more open world structure, allowing the player to complete side missions away from the primary storyline. This post only has like a 50,000 character limit or something so that's not enough to cover all of the DLC, season pass, and pre-order DLC for this game. I encourage you to investigate them on your own if you are so inclined. Some notables that may be worth mentioning are playing as Harley (pre-order), playing as Red Hood (Gamestop pre-order) and playing as Batgirl (season pass), as well as the usual abundance of skins, batmobile skins, races, and challenge maps. Season Pass owners will eventually receive any retailer specific DLC once it has left its exclusivity window later this year. Here is a list of what has been released so far and what is coming up http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Batman-Arkham-Knight-General/NEWS-Full-Season-Pass-Content-Revealed/td-p/836047 Arkham Knight is rated M by the ESRB (whereas the others were T) for blood, suggestive themes, violence, and language including use of the word 'gobshite'.

Veotax posted:I imagine that Batgirl is the only significant piece of DLC out of those three. I think it's supposed to be a mini-campaign like Harley Quinn's Revenge and Cold Cold Heart. Yeah, Batgirl is the only one that's actually costing you money through the Season Pass so it's probably going to have a big content disparity.

Batgirl: A Matter of Family An all new prequel story expansion in an entirely new location where you play as Batgirl for the very first time in the Arkham series. The Season of Infamy Play as Batman in all new story missions featuring legendary super-villains invading Gotham City, with new story arcs, missions and gameplay features. Gotham City Stories Play as Batman’s key allies in narrative missions extending their storylines, from both before and after the events in Batman: Arkham Knight. Legendary Batmobiles with Themed Tracks Drive the most iconic Batmobiles from Batman’s 75-year history, on custom-built race tracks, each themed to that Batmobile’s specific era. Every Batmobile will be drivable across every race track. Crimefighter Challenge Maps Engage in a series of new challenge maps utilizing the unique play styles of Batman and his allies. Character Skins A variety of skins from across the eras for Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman. Is all that worth the price tag? Who knows; probably not.

I am really appreciating that they they just said 'gently caress it' and gave you a bullet time suit and a rocket launcher and a tachikoma and a half-dozen gadgets and the ability to shoot yourself into geosynchronous orbit in the first 30 minutes of the game. Also the remote-controlled batarang lasts an entire minute now and you can crash it into poo poo and it just bounces off and keeps going.

"You can't save all of her since I already killed half!" is a pretty good line. I enjoy what they are doing with him so far. Who knew the best use of the Joker would be having him off to the side telling jokes like some kind of, I dunno... jester.

ImpAtom posted:I can't think of a single pinpoint-precision thing I've encountered so far. The only thing close are the ramp-jumps and those almost entirely just let you aim, hit afterburner, land exactly where you need. I think that's probably some people's problem. The game already compensates and corrects a lot and it's easy to end up 'fighting' it.

Feenix posted:The Tank Mode is definitely not what the developer intends as a brake. They intend for you to powerslide, brake and reverse with square. The fact that many hours later my hand STILL goes to tank mode when I want to slow down is testament to how bad this was as a choice for them. Not only that, but the entire control scheme for movement changes momentarily when you tap tank mode, so you'll spin. I do not recommend anyone considers quickly flashing tank mode as a means for slowing your speed in a race. I'm surprised you find that tolerable at all. Did you try the alternate controls for it? I think that might make L2 a proper brake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3i9Pqwxwos Here's a pretty good show of how often/when you should be boosting I guess. The guy nearly wipes it once and sideswipes a few walls, but 2 seconds under isn't a bad finish. Saint Freak fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jun 24, 2015 |

Feenix posted:Such a thing does not seem to exist on PS4. Controls section only allows you to look at what the controls are. Game section only allows you to invert sticks for flight modes and such. Its not in 'controls' its in one of the other things. It might even just be called options. Not home to check. Edit: I'm going to put it in the OP later I think once I see exactly where it is because it seems a lot of people might actually prefer that way.

CuwiKhons posted:It was a puzzle where, after having to launch myself out of the batmobile a few times, I had to get through a ring of spikes like the ones you line launcher'd your way through in City. I attempted to line launcher my way through and it just kept automatically killing me. In retrospect, I suppose it still wanted me to glide through them with a good launch but I was so sure that I needed to line launcher that I died several times. Then, after god knows how many deaths, when I respawned next to the Batmobile, there was a lit up green question mark button that hadn't been there before. Hitting it lowered the wall next to it and let me finish the puzzle. Riddler was very condescending about it but I guess at that point he had a right to be I just did that one. You actually end up with too much air once you get through the tunnel and have to drop a fair bit to hit the last sensor
