So where in the timeline does the Red Hood DLC take place? Are we not meant to really think about it? And how in the gently caress is Harley able to take down Nightwing and a group of other guys with literally no help?

It's okay. They were... rubber... walls?

It's funny how Batman's takedowns look more lethal than Red Hood's.

After the story, I guess.

And she can because... reasons. I dunno. I'd believe if if she could beat Robin in a solo fight, but no way should she be able to beat him.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

A DLC where Superman becomes Batman for a while would be amazing. Give him an 'intensity' bar so you'd have to really tone down your attacks, or you might end up accidentally killing someone.

I like how Scarecrow tells Batman to put his utility belt on the table and you can take it off.

And then immediately put it back on.

And Scarecrow's just kinda like "Oh. Well, you'll be back. Eventually."

Between Origins and Knight...I can use a walkthrough to grab some missable collectibles, but no walkthrough can make those drat tank missions enjoyable for me. Passable, maybe, but definitely not enjoyable. I wish I could just download a 100% story 0% side mission save and run around and do all the varied side poo poo (minus the tank stuff) because I keep running into more tanks and it just feels like a slog even with an upgraded Batmobile.

I've run into several Riddler informants where I'll take out everyone around them and interrogate the informant, who then says some version of "screw you Batman!", at which point they get taken out without revealing anything new.

This has happened several times in a row, so I'm wondering if this is just random, or if it's triggered by certain areas or game progress or something.

if it sounds like they're about to resist the interrogation just mash the counter button and Batman will throw them on the ground and ask them a 2nd time.

Also just beat the game, I really enjoyed the whole ending sequence. The "Joker Takedowns" at the end were incredibly brutal, it was weird but also kinda cool seeing Batman lose it for a bit

Tons of little details in this game. The game calls back to a very minor action you can take in the first moments of the game an hour or two later.

If you don't shoot anyone as the cop the police watching him are amazed he held it together as well as he did, as opposed to if you shoot people they're horrified at what Scarecrow did to him

This is a thing? I need to test this now on a different profile, drat!

Has anyone had an issue with Harley's mission wherein right after she puts down the jack-in-the-box in the second room, you uh, can't move towards the grate so you just get shot each time? It's getting frustrating.

Did they remove suit damage? I'm pretty drat far into the game and the new suit is still brand new looking.

I heard that loading a different skin causes the suit to reset, not sure if that's true though.

Naw, I didn't run into that one. Speaking of, the Harley DLC is actually really sad given the implications.

It definitely gets damaged as the game progresses (so does the batmobile's armour), but because it's mainly metal now it gets heavily scuffed rather than torn.

Have you switched to any of the dlc suits at all? There's a known glitch where doing so removes the batsuit damage for the Arkham Knight 8.0-whatever suit you use in the main game. I tried on the Justice League 3000 suit, screwed around a bit in free roam, and switched back. Now the damage only shows up in cutscenes for me.

EDIT: So yeah, I can confirm the different skin thing is an issue.

You solve all of Riddlers bullshit, and it comes time for the final confrontation... and he fucks off down a hole until you collect all his bullshit trophies.

gently caress that, rot down there. See if I give a poo poo. Least in City he was straight up torturing people and you had somewhat of an incentive to find the things. I've literally beaten up everybody else in the city, I just don't give a crap about him.

I can also confirm that you don't even need to bring the suits into free roam for this glitch to occur. I spent a few minutes tooling around in the AR Challenges with the Adam West suit and then switched back to the normal suit before going back to free roam and now my suit is shiny and new all the time.

Asylum was the only one of these games I actually bothered to 100%, mainly because there weren't a million collectibles and the ones that were there were pretty easy (and generally fun) to find. I tried to grab all the collectible poo poo in City as well, but there was just too much of it.

At this point I think I'll just do all the other missions in AK and watch the 100% ending on Youtube, if I want to play a collectathon I have several N64 platformers for that. Or I guess I could outsource the collecting to a friend of mine who loves that kind of grindy poo poo.

Switch it to toggle mode for the tank stuff, and it makes left trigger into your brake. If you have to take sharp corners, slide into tank mode, make the turn, then go back into car mode.
