Has anyone else experienced this annoying bug where textures are just... randomly low quality and other times not? Sometimes they pop into their normal quality, sometimes they don't. I've had entire rooms just be the ugly-as-gently caress super low quality color blobs and never go to normal quality despite me hanging out in them for quite some time. Like, the firefighter guys are literally always just wearing blue/yellow blobs and then halfway through the conversation boink here comes their outfit. I'm assuming that's the bug Rocksteady talked about in their future patch notes.

It seems to be a streaming issue, but making the recommended ini tweaks did not do anything to fix it.

Yeah. 90% of the textures look great, but sometimes I'll come across something that takes a full minute to pop in properly. I sometimes sit and wait patiently while it finishes making itself acceptable.

There's one firefighter in particular that's surrounded by like 10 sentry turrets, and the sentry turret disarm takes a while and puzzling it out would've been annoying, so i just did the one pointing at the guy and left the rest. Cue Batman saying to stay there and that some GCPD officers were on the way to rescue him. Yeah good luck with that guys :v:

Generally the tackle guys will always back off before coming at you. The game will home in with batarangs so if you see a guy backing off toss a batarang at 'em. Worst comes to worst it'll function like a regular punch instead.

I'm pretty sure the camera doesn't even move anymore so they just bust into me from behind. They're so annoying.

There is something weirdly off about this game's combat that I can't quite put my finger on. It seems like Batman is slower, but snappier. It really threw me off that the camera doesn't automatically center on the action anymore either.

New Game Plus is so unforgiving. I knew this would happen due to how diverse the enemies are. The ninjas and big armored sword guys can gently caress off too. Riddler killed me quite a few times before I made it out. So have some of these towers/checkpoints.

With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

It's nice and all that they included some new enemy types, but I think they might have gone just a bit overboard with some of the fights where you have like two medics, a few brutes (at least one with a shield), a couple of shock stick dudes, three shield guys and three ninjas along with all the regular dudes (who are getting electrified by the medics). Those fights just become massive clusterfucks and I start having weird issues with the autotargeting. I go for a takedown on the brute next to me, and Batman pounces at some random mook or one of the shock stick guys instead.

Yes, yes, git gud and all that.

Also I feel like either me or the game is going insane at this point. I'm getting more and more physics and combat bugs and there were shockingly few before now.


Same as I'm clearing up the postgame. The Riddler trophy on the docks by the ferris wheel where there are two robots you can control, I could infinitely spawn the one with the gun. I controlled him, ordered him to walk to the button, and there would be another left behind that I could interact with. I was really confused how the puzzle was supposed to work.

you said "drop kick" fyi
I got the game for free through NVidia, and it actually runs really smoothly for me. Is there no tutorial though? I got into the first fight, and no command prompts came up. Combat was basically just me figuring out how to punch and hitting one button over and over. I'll work everything out eventually, but it just seems weird that the game just assumes you've played the previous Batman games before.

Don't feel bad, man, I definitely have my issues with the targeting. I'll go for a special combo takedown and Bats will leap past the brute/guy with a gun to hit a random mook. Or refuse to punch the blue Riddler bot to zoom across the map to punch a Catwoman one. It feels like poo poo, because it's only detrimental. There's never "Okay, I'll just go with it," it's always a shock stick or big guy so it kills your combo and/or damages you when it fucks up. Even when I was on regular and not on NG+, there were some fights where I just wanted to tell the game to gently caress off. A big guy who has armor (and thus takes two takedowns or a ridiculously long beatdown) AND a shield? Come on, game. Come ON!

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

I think I busted my save? I was doing a Riddler Challenge where you have to lower the Batmobile down into this giant pipe full of rotating sawblades and when I got down and hit the button, an upper layer had moved on its own, trapping my car in? I can edge the car up a bit to try and move the upper layer by spinning the wheels, but the batmobile inevitably gets stuck on a razorblade and explodes. If I try to restart my save, I get teleported back into the room where the Batmobile is stuck. If I try to leave, it says I need the Batmobile, which is stuck.

Jesus christ gently caress this game.

I need one more trophy for the platinum. The one where you use 15 different moves in one combat combo. I loving swear I've done it several times now but it's not popping. You can repeat moves as long as the combo counter doesn't reset right? Holy poo poo this annoying.

Are you actually doing different moves? I haven't done that this time but if it's anything like the previous games it doesn't count repeats. Like doing two instant takedowns only counts as one.

When you go into combat try to keep track of how many non-different moves you use (in one combo) and then compare that to the variation/gadget variation scores to see how you're doing.

I only just hit the 70% point, so maybe it's explained later, but how exactly does The Joker's blood turn people into aspects of The Joker? That's not how the human body works.

This is a game universe where a guy injects bat DNA into his own and turns into a half man, half bat, a supervillian uses a pit of green goo to come back to life, and the last game ended with you fighting a clay-man, and you think this is the unbelievable part?

You are right about that, but Troy Baker voiced lego batman.

This game is fun, the Batmobile is fun. The remote stuff feels like how I'd imagine a Kamen Rider drive game would play. So if they replaced mopey rear end batman with fun-haver kamen rider I might be in love. That said, I agree that there's waaay too much of it, and it's really annoying how I have to wait for challenge combat maps with that damned season pass. The fighting is what I enjoy the most out of this series and I feel like it's here at a bare minimum.

Roger Craig Smith was Origins Batman but Baker voiced him in the Lego games. He also was Nightwing in Injustice, not Arkham.

Why do people keep talking about camera problems? It controls exactly the same as it did in the last 3 games. Aim at the guy you want to punch. Forward + punch = Mook gets punched. The camera is centered on batman because he is the focal point of the game.

In previous games the camera rotated to at least try to keep all the guys on the screen while you were flying around, so that you wouldn't have to take your thumbs off the buttons to rotate the camera. In this game it does not do that.

edit: Also lol at that logic. "Why have several people mentioned there are issues with the camera??? There's no issue with the camera!!"

One of my favorite animations is when you have an enemy stunned on the ground and you do an aerial attack on a nearby enemy but then jump on the stunned one. It reminds me of the BTAS intro when Batman does something to that bank robber, but it all happens too fast to tell.
