I you go up to the bars and push the attack button you grab him by the back of the head and slam his face into the bars. He then falls on his back, out cold. You can do that again later and Batman doesn't hit him and he still cowers back.

We will sort out the bill later but since we didn't notice the fire for 6 months my manager will sort something out (maybe).

I have a 200% save on the PC with all non-DLC achievements and that slot is still locked. I'm one of the suckers that never refunded my Season Pass since my game did work alright. I understand the PC port is really broken, but to say less than a week before the first DLC is set to be released, "Oh, uh, yeah that Season Pass you bought isn't actually going to get you the stuff promised on time" is pretty lovely and downright false advertising.

I mean the game worked nearly perfect for me and I got my money's worth (40% gmg discount) for the number of hours I've put into just doing the normal mode, but it would be nice to get the DLC in a timely fashion because it's part of the package you know.

Ahahaha, if you keep loving up the Panessa Studio password lock puzzle Batman gets angry and just smashes through it.  Oh, and if you visit Barbara before the Arkham Knight's HQ the Joker will be sat in her wheelchair taking the piss out of you, and Batman will comment on how Gordon must have retrieved her body. I'm not sure if these are NG+ easter eggs or what, but there's a fair bit of detail in the game. poptart_fairy fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jul 11, 2015 |

Yeah, Asylum has only just started to show its age graphically. Arkham City probably won't start to look genuinely aged for a very long time.

Now we've all got beefy as gently caress PCs, you should go back and play Asylum with all the PhysX poo poo turned on. 7 years on it still looks great.

Every single part inside my computer was made after Asylum's release and all of the relevant parts are Nvidia and I still drop to like 25 fps when I turn on physX in that game. PhysX is just so universally awfully optimized, it's a shame because it looks great.

One for graphics and one for physX. I've done nothing to test or research my hypothesis.

I honestly think the PhysX effects in Asylum and City are visually better than what was offered in Knight. If you didn't have them on when you first played, and have upgraded since, you should go back and give them a shot.

Nah it's just meant to work on the higher end cards that can handle both workloads. You can have a separate physx card but it's generally pointless and less stuff seems to be coming out for physx. Also I have a 780 and the only gameworks poo poo that doesn't work is the smoke, which I think is jut currently hosed. Also I just played through City again and the recommendation in game for "high" physx is a 9800 gt so whoever's card can't handle that today needs to get their poo poo together.

I'm playing on hard, and I have found it pretty easy up until now where I'm stuck on the part after Arkham Knight shoots batman where a bunch of sword guys and a couple of the big dudes attack him. Is there something I can do to make this easier or do I just need to get good? I've died like 15 times.

The sword guys are tricky without counter prompts as it's difficult to tell if they're just doing regular attacks or preparing for a combo. Big dudes will be beaten a single use of the environmental takedowns though (two normal takedowns will take them out of a fight also) so if you can dodge around and try to lure them in range of one - it's a big, big amount of pressure off you in a fight when they're not stomping around. Although in NG+ you can often get three or four in a single fight.

Yeah I think Arkham Knight's PC version is giving people brown-colored glasses for the first few games because Asylum and City had great PC ports. I ran Asylum on all max settings at 60fps with a 9800gtx and City on max 60fps with a 560ti. Well, for City I turned off the DX11 stuff, but that stuff is universally hosed considering I replayed it before Knight came out with my current 770 and it still chugged. Origins, as much as I poo poo talk that game, didn't have a particularly bad PC port outside of its bugginess either, it's pretty well optimized unlike Knight. It's also maybe the best looking game on my PC.

It's not a problem with Arkham Asylum, it's a problem with proprietary poo poo like physX. With physX off I never dip below the 60 fps cap in either Asylum or City.

I got up to 460 hits on the Azreal AR challenge and it ended due to a timer running out. That rather defeats the purpose of a challenge that ends when you get hit

Yeah, that's the one and only challenge I've maxed out rivalry points with, haha. I really miss the challenge system of City and Origins now, gotta admit. The AR system is decent but it feels like a big step down in terms of "load up and punch dudes for twenty minutes".

poptart_fairy posted:Yeah, that's the one and only challenge I've maxed out rivalry points with, haha. The big problem with the Knight system is this: The original games had a Wave-based system. Every wave had a specific number of enemies. This lead to an interesting balancing act. You could go for long combos to increase your multiplier but you also wanted to string together as much variation as you could for bonus points. Since there was a limited number of enemies, the variation points were significant and so you had to try to keep stringing things together and getting hard-to-get moves and trying to balance high-point moves with low-damage. There were flaws here but it made sense. Each wave had its own independent scoring system so you could keep it going. Here? Nope. Variations are now only barely worth going for since you're only graded at the end and while they add to your score it's a much smaller amount. There's no "well, I screwed up this round I'll do better next round." It's only perfect freeflow or nothing.

Just finished the game save for about 100 Riddler trophies. I'll grab those later. Gotta say it was a good game that could have been outstanding if they hadn't fluffed it out so much. Cut Riddlers from 250 to 100 or so and cut the mines, towers, apcs and stuff down about 80% and all of a sudden you have the exact same game only about 10 hours shorter. Probably more.

Ignore variants, because all the combat gadgets are stupid, basically only do beat downs and counters, break every weapon in the room, perfect freeflow, win games.
