I assume it's because of their suits, as there are enemies that are hidden from detective mode as well.


Also, I love the Batmobile.

I love the Riddler puzzles, the tank fights, the races, everything.

Anyone that doesn't like the Batmobile is bad at video games and/or has no taste.

gently caress the Batmobile.

gently caress lovely platforming puzzles based around moving the Batmobile into a place you can easily access without it.

Story spoiler: gently caress Joker showing up every 30 seconds to taunt you. This game has trained me to go "NO. gently caress OFF." every time they appear.

I don't get it. I have not gotten far, but I can't imagine the scarecrow/arkham knight plot ever becoming very compelling, so the joker's antics have been the most interesting to me so far. Mark Hammill's joker voice is cool and the other villains are dorks.

If you mean the upgrade I think you do, it's just an extra bar of special weapon meter that gives you further enhanced effects if you charge it up. (i.e: 7 missiles instead of 4.)

Yeah, it's just extra. So 7 missiles, 3 drones hacked instead of 2, or... I don't know what the effect is on the EMP, actually.

Does the bridge to Founder's Island open up from progressing in the story? I can't continue a few of the side missions without having the Batmobile there. I just revived the giant tree so I wonder how much longer it'll be

I have no idea whats going on.
Just a heads up to those suffering through the PC port as I am, someone just figured out that the ingame AA feature breaks lighting effects and completely removes distant lights, so add that to the list of things that need to be fixed.

Current solution is turn ingame AA off and inject SweetFX for your AA solution.

Comparison Shots #2
Comparison Shots #3

Also as a fun aside, I noticed in GCPD there was a corner where my framerate just completely tanked. Turns out in the corner of one of the rooms there's an Alice in Wonderland book and computers just can't handle it. Somewhere in the game files must be a 40 meg texture of the book cover no one bothered to convert.

Obviously mass refunds aren't going to be a thing that commonly but it's still kinda weird.

They patched the refund procedure to change the amount of time that could be on the game before they'd accept the refund, as cards are 'real money'. They're not that good at modelling corner cases.

drat, that's a vast improvement. I don't remember off hand if the PS4 version has those lighting effects to that extent, hard to tell for sure in the Eurogamer comparisons, but I think so. I'll check that when I get home tonight, and also see if I can find that book and see if it's a problem on PS4 as well. Which corner is it in? Is it easy to find?

I actually got that feeling a few times in the game, even without the advanced aging. In particular the first thing you do in the game is kind of like the inverse of the microwave hall crawl.

How come all of gotham's bad guys chipped in to pay the Arkham Knight to help Scarecrow destroy the city? You'd think Penguin and Two-face would be kind of opposed to be dosed in fear juice. I can understand them paying for him to kill batman but why is everyone helping a two bit plan from Scarecrow? The only reason he accomplished anything was because he had help from everyone.

What? That's idiotic. You could barely get the bad guys in gotham to stay in the same room together without trying to kill the other, let alone somehow fund acquiring any sort of weapons together, especially considering Batman had free reign more or less to take them all out after Arkham City. In fact, why in the gently caress aren't all of the villains from that game still in jail or at Arkham? Why's Riddler not still in jail? I mean yes, this is a comicbook game, but constantly putting the exact same criminals on the street over and over again sort of makes you think the villains are right in calling Bats ineffectual.

Edit: Also, why wouldn't Batman at the ending just put on a mask under his mask or something, some sort of skin graft or whatever, so he could keep his identity secret? Scarecrow doesn't know who he is and it isn't like Robin or Gordon is going to tell him.

Now all we need is a game based off the comic tie-in to the new Superman movie and we can reach the trifecta of awful writing. That or the one for Batman vs Superman.

In-game story says something about the parole board letting all of the criminals walk after the events of Arkham City.

Azrael stays brainwashed, Batman dodges, and then knocks him out and locks him up in GCPD with the other criminals. With Scarecrow, he just patiently waits for you to take off your belt and get into his truck since this is the last moment before the endgame. If you put your belt back on, he's just like "Eh, you'll be back."
