Uh well Joker said he's going to take out those sentry guns for me so I'm waiting to see what he does.

I legitimately died in that section the first time because I wanted to see if/how he'd do anything. So I was standing in the open when the sentry guns opened fire.

It would be cool if when Lucius Fox is explaining all the features of the new high tech Batsuit, it spent a few minutes explaining where all his poopoo and peepee goes with slow-mo zoom ins and x-ray shots of Batman's catheter and waste dispersal mechanisms.

"Alright guys, lets do it! Lets kill Bruce Wayne!" "Batman sounded cooler.." "Yeah.. it did.."
"I think it's a really noble thing he's doing. Helping out, changing things for the better." "Did you forget what side you're on?" "Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna kill him"
"I thought Bruce Wayne had nothing better to do than waste his parents inheritance. Guys really gone down in my opinion."
"Can't believe the losers in this town have been getting the crap beat out of them for a decade by Bruce Wayne. I could take him easy!"
"Hang on, hang on. It Batman is Bruce Wayne. Who's been playing Bruce Wayne all this time?

Hahaha, to get the REC device, there's no scene of Batman coming up against a situation that needs it and calling us Lucias and getting an air drop or anything like that. You just go into GCPD, smash the glass it's behind in the evidence room, and take it. I love it.

I think my favorite part of this is that if you listen to the Cash recording, Cash is like, it sure is nice having one of batman's gadgets around, I really hope he doesn't ever take it back.

I think you're supposed to hack the drones' optics using the remote hacking tool to slip past them until you get to the switch in the room with four of 'em all facing different ways.

Only if there's a building filled with celebrities that you manually scale with a rope instead of the grapnel

There needs to be one scene where you're tied to a bouy with a torpedo incoming and a dolphin heroically dives in front of it at the last minute. All off screen of course, so Batman has to explain to the audience why they're tied to a bouy and then in the next scene, he and Robin are happily driving away in the Batboat.

Ugh, I'm stuck at that Riddler challenge where you eject-into-glide then hit a pressure pad. Took me at least 15 tries to get the first one, then the second one is "do it again with a 180 degree turn."

How much more failure do I need before Eddie gives me a smug gimme?

I don't think he ever gives you a gimme, and the third pad is the worst. I spent a decent amount of time trying that one, myself.

It's been said, but no you don't. They spend AGES teaching you the fact that you can blind drones with the remote hacker and thats exactly what you do. It's like a fleeting easy stealth section followed by some tank combat to clear them out.

This might highlight one of the biggest faults of this game. They only really build on Arkham City and there are a loving overwhelming amount of options and states and nuances to the controls. I love it but I imagine its frustrating for most people playing this game.

I loved this. Was just meandering about the city when a group of thugs wanted to fight. A charging thug appeared as the Joker to my fractured bat-psyche and I thought it was a neat glitch. Turns out it was intentionally neat.

Oh, and my 6950 HD seems to run this okay on low settings, even though it's a family below the minimum requirements. I did some tweaking to the ini file, and I'm also using RadeonPro.

I understand that was a low end number, but even being realistic he has ~12 minutes of dialogue in Asylum, as well as City, even counting all of the interview tapes. I don't know how you could say anyone in any of the games has "hours" of dialogue. Obviously more than that much work goes into producing it, but my point is just that that's obviously not nearly as bad as having to roll up and deliver a similar performance as part of your day job. It's also notable that the game with the most Joker talking of them all is Origins, where he didn't do the voice work. So that limit might even be part of why he comes back.

He has a lot more speaking bits in this but they're easy to miss. Pretty much any loving time you do a thing he'll be on top of a nearby building waiting to rattle off about 3 lines. Hell he is often just on top of buildings and things at random, I swung over to the ferris wheel on the boat near WayneTech and he was in that. He'll keep saying stuff and when he's done he'll disappear as soon as you take the camera off him about 90% of the time.

It's been said a bunch but I had been wanting to mention it but yeah, I have no idea how you managed it without turning off their optics. It took me 2 tries and only because I hosed up using corner cover on the second one.

The first few times this happened I barely caught it and legit thought I was going crazy. Like Joker, most of these things revert to normal after you move the camera off of them, so this was done really well imo.

It's less obvious in play, at least at first; what you're seeing/hearing in the thread is what it's like in the end and it's more obvious in static screenshots. There's definitely a progression, though, one that makes sense given events in the game.
