Big Fresh Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If they had left it to only Pursuit mode, I think everyone would have loved it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Less than 20 riddler trophies left, I know where they all are. If I can get past the (hopefully) final Cobra Drone fight, I will actually get an honest to goodness 100% on this. I didn't think it possible when I first started this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 ALL side missions DONE! All Riddler trophies DONE. Whipped his smarmy ass and I loved it. Now time to finish this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basara Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 ALL side missions DONE! All Riddler trophies DONE. Whipped his smarmy ass and I loved it. Now time to finish this game. Nicely done. I've not played much in the past couple of weeks, still got a ton of Riddler trophies to find. I'm tempted to drop the cash on the season pass now though since there is actual content out for it.

RandomAct Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Finally beat the game. Ending was a little flat. I'd hate to see what the "incomplete" ending looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think the incomplete ending is just Batman turning in Scarecrow and telling Alfred to activate the Knightfall Protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 After a little bit of frustration, I was able to beat Mr. Freeze this weekend. The first 3 takedowns are pretty easy (Silent Takedown, Grate Takedown, Explosive Wall), but those last two were pesky because it was tough to get him into position. I lucked out the last time and was able to get him close to the generator (which he hadn't for any other playthrough) and found him standing close to the ledge. I am going to get myself sidetracked and do the Mad Hatter side-mission and find Batman's parents achievement before heading to finish this bad boy off. Reading elsewhere suggests that the last stretch of this game with the snipers and the helicopter is going to add to my frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The snipers are cake really. Nothing to worry about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Finally finished Arkham City (well, still have the Two-Face battle for Catwoman left). The story took some interesting twists, and I thought it was a good enough game but I am honestly in no rush to play Arkham Knight. I may snag Origins on the cheap at some point and play it first.

Jiji Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 *drools* I wish we could get a full game in that universe. Keaton doing the voice and everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 That was my takeaway too, but I kinda feel like it's because it doesn't have the weaponry of the main game model. Also, it looks like the controls are different too. As long as the 89 suit is available on the main map, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 August DLC drops today for Season Pass holders. Some clarification: You CAN use the io Batmobile in the main game but only once you've finiahed all the drones and Cobra tanks. Because there's no combat mode. In addition to challenge maps for Batman, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Robin the September DLC will include the Tumbler from The Dark Knight as a skin and a Nightwing story mission set after the main game.

Big Fresh Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The challenge maps for Nightwing, Catwoman, and Robin interest me. And the Nightwing story DLC is more interesting than the Batgirl stuff, since I'd like to see how the Batfamily is handling the end of the game stuff.

TheVileOne Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 You can use Burton Batmobile in free roam, but only after you've destroyed all the tank drones. Looks like the Tumbler is the next Batmobile skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 So, it's decided: the next Batman game must be set in the Burton film universe at Christmas and feature Michael Keaton and Michelle Pahfeiffer. Speaking of which, has Warner Bros mentioned anything about future iterations, obviously without Rocksteady? I think now that they've learned from the issues with the Batmobile, the next game could be like an all-time great and surpass City as the best of the franchise. Just don't rush it!

Probably because Rocksteady is still doing stuff with the DLC and season pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The 89 Batmobile actually handles pretty great. Did a couple of the time trials in the city and the only problem is that since you can't go into battle mode, it's not as easy to maneuver around if you fuck up a turn or something.

TheVileOne Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Shots from Batman 1989 recreated in Arkham Knight using 89 Batsuit skin and Batmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The 89 Batmobile racetracks are the only races I've actually had fun with in the game. Then again, I've enjoyed the Batmobile more since it stopped being mandatory. Also having one that doesn't look like total shit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just read the recently released Challenge Pack is character specific unlike in Arkham City when you can play them with the character of your choosing. Why change the traditional Challenge Mode/Challenge Maps in Arkham Asylum/Arkham City? Leave what works well alone. With this change and the repeated usage of the Batmobile, I don't feel as bad missing out playing Batman: Arkham Knight as I did on release.

The Unholy Dragon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I mean I've enjoyed the game enough not to feel ripped off by full release price and season pass but at the same time, I think you're safe to wait for a price drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I haven't played Batman: Arkham Knight as I don't own a current gen console so my opinions are based on what I've watched/read online. What were Rocksteady thinking when it came to Batman: Arkham Knight? I'm referring to the character designs (that depends on your taste), Batmobile overreliance and the removal of the traditional challenge maps/mode. In Batman: Arkham City, you could play the challenge maps/mode with any character. However in Batman: Arkham Knight, its AR challenges specific to certain characters only. All Rocksteady had to do was follow the template they'd established. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Well, they wanted to do Batmobile because Batmobile. The problem is, the glide system was so efficient it's typically faster than the Batmobile so they needed a way to force you to use it. Honestly though, after time I think a lot of the problems with the game come down to singular or lazy work. No haracter choice for AR missions? Very few AR missions anyway? No character select freeroam once the main story is done? Not even at 100%? Super repetitive side missions most of which are just against militia? Unnecessary repetition of side missions to stretch length ala Firefly and Man Bat? Batmobile boss fights like the Arkham Knight x2, Firefly, and Deathstroke? This isn't even getting to story stuff like the gross sexism all over it, weird decision to write Tim as skinhead Dick, Arkham Knight repeatedly being like "I'll kill him now. Or not.", and the fact that Scarecrow is some kind of weird preening villain who somehow knows Batman's every move...he's Joker. He's basically written like boo scary Joker. I mean, I enjoyed it on virtue of always wanting more Batman games using this engine/system/world but uh. It's pretty clearly the least of the series. Including Origins. And that's not down to the Batmobile alone. (Which for the record is a lot of fun when not being forced on you) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
