Heh. I already knew about imaginary Joker from casually looking at the internet too much, but that reveal was loving excellent.

Knormal posted:On a related note, was there any trick to knowing where the drill tank was in the bossfight right after that one? I died in that fight a bunch because I'd come around a corner and drive right into the front of that thing. Unless I was missing something, they really needed to make it show up on the mini-map. I literally parked myself in front of the bomb tunnels, and waited for him to show up. Usually I'd have to shoot him to get his attention. I hated that boss fight. The predator section after that was only a tiny bit better. I wanna chase people in the batmobile, being chased ruins the magic. Mogomra fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jun 27, 2015 |

Knormal posted:I made it through that bossfight in one try without dying, and I still hated it. You can dislike something without being bad at it. The driving sections are well done, but not what those of us who don't like driving games wanted from the Arkham series. I honestly just waited at the entrance to the explosive tunnels for him to run perpendicular, and then I'd pop out and lead him to destruction. Seemed pretty straightforward to me. E:fb

Corner of the screen there's a little distance indicator telling you how close you are to him. When he spots you, he does show up on the minimap

I'm not really worried if anyone thinks I'm bad at the game. I'm reporting (and corroborating) the issues I've come across. Also: I think it's a stellar loving game and have never claimed Rocksteady made a lovely broken game. It's not above some criticism and observation, though, you sad white knight. Sorry you're offended by it.

The driving is pretty functional, seeing as how they built so much around it. I think it's moreso panned because of its abundant inclusion. If it were relegated to a choice in the campaign or just side missions, I don't think anyone would outright dislike it as much. EDIT: Turn "Battle Mode toggle" on in Game Options, if you didn't. Should've been that way by default. void_serfer fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jun 27, 2015 |

It's not terrible but it's merely passible in a game where almost everything else IS excellent and you have to deal with it to get to the better parts. It's like the Werehog from Sonic the Hedgehog.

The driving bits murder my performance and turn the game into a stutterfest and I've only played for a couple of hours so far so I haven't really had too much time with the Batmobile. I could see the Batmobile being more fun if as you said it was more a choice than a railroad.

So far I like it when it's used cleverly as an extra tool in the arsenal, like switching to it remotely to ram/shoot/pull something and help Batman from a distance. The driving and vehicular combat are already stale as gently caress.

Yeah, the Batmobile As A Gadget stuff is cool. It effectively gives you a more limited secondary character who you can use to solve puzzles which is fun. Frankly though I wish it had been treated like Nightwing/Catwoman/Robin/ect and been area-specific instead. And then they used those guys and the double-team stuff more. The double-predator segment is SO FUN but you only do it once.

Either your game install is broken somehow in a way that is fundamentally breaking things or you're exaggerating flaws. Let me ask you... Does a bug exist only if every person experiences it? I have a video I posted of winning an APC chase when the APC just fell forever under the map and died. If you play the game and never have anything fall into the world, does that mean that that's not a bug? I'm having a hard time accepting your definite absolution. Some other guy corroborated that he had it not save when it should have. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it's helping anyone or anything for you to assume you have an impenetrably certain view on things. Also this discussion is way past tired. I'm gonna just leave it at that.

There's a significant difference between "I fell through the floor" and "the save system is literally not working." You're making claims about the save system which can only be true if you game is fundimentally broken in a way that is kind of absurd, which is why I mentioned that maybe your install is screwed up.

Feenix posted:Yes. A thing you refuted initially. No i didn't. You claimed the game wasn't saving after sidequests. Feenix posted:While I'm kvetching about Batman, I really hate how the saving operates. Do a couple side missions... have a bunch of skill points. Allocate them. Die on a side mission... redo all those missions and have to reallocate all your points. That is very very different from having to allocate points again if you die mid-mission after allocating points.

There's a glitch concerning the outfits. If you change to a DLC outfit and back to the default batsuit you won't get all the battle damage and wear back. Assuming you care for that stuff I mean

You can literally see onscreen when it is saving, as well as check how long it has been since the last save. It saves after every sidequest or significant event. So your game has to be broken in a way where it isn't saving when it is supposed to save. Since you're the only person reporting this, as well as reporting a lot of other issues, that is why I suggested perhaps something is hosed up with your install. That would also explain things like the APC falling through the floor which isn't an impossible glitch but could be the result of something being wonky with your game and might explain why you're encountering things that seem at-odds with other people's experiences. Arkham Knight isn't a flawless game but you're encountering a far more buggy and odd version of the game than anyone else I've talked to. Infinitum posted:http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support-for-PC/June-27-Update-on-PC-Version-of-Arkham-Knight/m-p/581700#U581700 That's pretty good at least.

Steam redownloading the game when I verified it probably helped, to be honest. I reinstalled the game and updated my Nvidia drivers and was able to beat the main storyline over a few days without any serious issue. The first night the game was nearly unplayable though. The Arkham Knight reveal was pretty dumb and bad because it was so predictable and they spent so much time lying about it. Even worse, it ended up feeling like a very rushed story arc that was much worse than the original storyline it was remaking. Which is a shame, because the overall concept could have made it far better than its source material. The Riddler stuff probably means I won't 100% this game any time soon or at all. I haven't found any of his stuff all that fun. That sucks for me, since you need to 100% the game to get the full ending, but whatever, I can google it later. The tank combat was fun until the devs decided that the only way to keep challenging the player was to start spamming tanks and drones at me. Then they became tedious and boring. Cloudburst fight was boring, and the second phase is literally just hold reverse and spam your guns into the glowing target until it blows up. Scarecrow's performance was the best thing about the game probably. If it weren't for that, I'd say that I probably enjoyed Origins a bit more.

I was disappointed by the Scarecrow honestly. He doesn't... do much that is particular Scarecrowy.I wouldn't want a rehash of Arkham Asylum but at the end of the day the things done by the Scarecrow could be any villain on the planet. He isn't bad as a Generic Villain but I think he was better handled in Arkham Asylum.
