I recall Joker making a couple offhand references to it. In one of those moments where you can go into the area with the Joker TV ahead of schedule, he mentions Robin. Could be Dick, but since Barbara is already Oracle, it's more likely Tim. Though, granted, it honestly could be Jason. I think it makes more sense for it to be Tim though given the space between Asylum and City. Beef Chief posted:That would actually clear up most of my complaints since the character wasn't just established literally this game and wasn't a narrative rear end pull. That being said it still begs the question of why they didn't go with Red Hood, but hey you gotta market a game and need thing to pull people in once in a while and while it is the exact same thing except Arkham Knight looks cooler, I can maybe get over the fact you wasted this cool design on this lovely character. Well they REALLY needed to get Arkham in the title some way.

I really really wish they'd gone Arkham County, Arkham State, Arkham Country, etc. because that would have been hilarious. That one thug in Arkham City had such bright ideas, he didn't deserve to be locked up

Which would explain why Batman seems completely unwilling to put him in dangerous situations.

ImpAtom posted:There are a couple of references to Robin in Arkham Asylum but they're generic Boy Wonder kind of stuff. He isn't really shown or clarified until City, so it could have been Dick or Tim. The one I remember most distinctively is Joker asking Batman how he punishes his sidekicks with the joke being "isn't that outfit you make them wear punishment enough?" Even through "The Batman" was overall okayish, it did just that by having Batgirl exist before Robin.

Anybody on PS4 still not able to connect to leaderboards? I don't really care all that much but I figure there's something wrong because its a week after release and its still saying it can't connect to PSN. My connection to PSN is fine, I use it for other games without any problems.

The best is when you're on chat talking to people playing Arkham while you are and you're just like "bad news guys, I'm not on PSN, I'm a ghost. lol"

I think they might just be getting overloaded or something but they haven't worked at all for me. Hobgoblin2099 posted:What's the difference?

He asked Dick to keep helping him and basically treated Tim like he was going to die the second he got out of Batman's sight. And then Dick gets kidnapped AND Tim gets kidnapped so good job Bats.

Of course the fact Jason was held captive somewhere within Arkham for more than six months is a bit absurd given Batman could build an entire batcave underneath the place but couldn't find a trace of Jason.

I wonder what the fallout of Bruce being unmasked was for Tim and Dick. I mean TIm seems to be getting married to Barbara so good on him but I'm pretty sure people would have noticed that Wayne had two/three dark-haired kids hanging around him and nobody knows Robin or Nightwing's identities.

I recall Joker making a couple offhand references to it. There's a DLC challenge map for Arkham City called Joker's Carnival, if you play it as Robin one of the opening lines Joker can use is something to the effect of "didn't I kill you?" I'd assume Jason Todd was Robin during Asylum and Tim Drake was Robin during City. I back this up with Red Hood saying he was tortured in the old abandoned Asylum, so presumably it takes place after Asylum and before City. Not to mention the Robin in City is clearly Tim Drake.

Wasn't Scribblenauts DCU like the first time she was ever acknowledged after she got killed in the comics? DC hates her. Still they could get two Robins out of it VA wise if they add her and Carrie Kelly.

I don't know if I've just gotten lazy and bad since City, but this time around I'm spending almost every stealth section jumping down on someone, punching them repeatedly until they're knocked out and zipping away. Rinse and repeat. It's even simpler in the big outdoor sections since you can just fly off and come back in 20 seconds. I'm not feeling encouraged to use the environment, even though the same tools are available to me. I didn't feel like I could get away with being so poo poo in the previous games I guess.

It was everything before the credits. It appears there was a bug that let some users see the full ending without getting 100% completion so that might be why you didn't see anything different. In the not 100% ending the cutscene ends after wayne mansion blows up.

Speaking of which: Is it me or is the way the Freeze Grenade is included in the game tremendously half-assed? It feels like they couldn't come up with a new gadget and so they just kinda tossed it randomly in.

the predator section enemies are much slower to take away vents/gargoyles this time around from my memory of City. I think i only used it one time in the whole main story.

blackguy32 posted:A lot of stuff feels kind of half assed. The Line Launcher feels like it doesn't need to be there. Yeah, I think there's legitimately one time outside of a Riddler puzzle it's even useful, and then it's just to save you from having to grapple back up to the other side. Which ends up making the Riddler puzzle drat near impossible to figure out because it requires you to use a gadget you barely use, and a special feature on that gadget that has pretty much no other reason to exist.

The Line Launcher I can at least see considering the size of the predator rooms since it lets you make more paths and poo poo. Freeze Grenade is just like "it was in the previous game so... eh?" I mean it works fine and is a good item it just is so lazy. Both feel pretty half-baked though. At least the REC Gun gets some fun puzzles.

Man, I know it's probably to make the 100% factor a little less irritating, but I do love how the Riddler isn't counted as one of Gotham's Most Wanted and doesn't need to be caught for Knightfall to take effect.

The tie-in comic has Batman run out of Freeze Grenades shortly after Arkham City, so I'm assuming the gadget wasn't always meant to be in the game.

Just need to get one more challenge to unlock (destroy two drones with sequential perfect strikes) and then try getting all the stars in them. Is there a place i can go to try that unlock (like one of the other challenges) or am i stuck trying to do it in new game+?
