So I only have 2 things left to collect to open the real ending. One riddle and one trophy, both on founders island. Not inside anything but the island itself. The problem is that I have no markers for them and it is not spawning any riddler informants. This is bullshit.

It was too difficult to control the Batmobile in that sequence. I aced the cloudburts section because it didn't require precise movement. This tunnel bullshit? Total bad idea.

Anytime you had to precisely control the Batmobile it was best to go to the first-person view, which seemed to give you a lot more leeway in terms of avoiding obstacles you might hit. Still annoying though.

I have to say I was so excited once the Batmobile was destroyed in that sequence, thinking I wouldn't have to deal with it again in the story missions. Once the backup showed up, I was like :()

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

As someone who doesn't usually enjoy racing stuff I'm surprised at how much hate the Batmobile is getting. I drift into corners, use battle mode to make small course corrections and simply tap the afterburner to keep speed up on the straights - not using it before I turn. I'm genuinely unable to understand how people struggle with the thing. :saddowns:

Play good racing games with good controls and non lovely schemes and you'll figure out why it sucks so much

Also, sometimes the game will spawn a riddler informant on a totally different island for stuff on the island you need. Grabbed a guy on miagani who unlocked the last bomb rioter I needed in chinatown and showed trophies in panessa studios.

And holy poo poo, the PC version won't be up and running until the fall? Christ.

I mean, at least Assassins Creed Unity started running patches around the clock. Granted the game was complete poo poo, pre or post-patch. But at least they threw in some extra stuff for fans.

I'm waiting on the season pass. For a sale. Definitely.

The very least they could have done after that was give us a, somewhat, different Batmobile. Like it's nice that they unlocked a bunch of upgrades, but it's the same drat car with a worse coat of paint

At the very least, the Riddle you are missing is very likely the Batmobile. Just scan the Batmobile. Unfortunately, even if we saw a picture of your Riddler grid to see which Trophy you don't have, someone would have had to actually mark which trophies went where to help you with it.

If its not the car, load up one of those GameFAQ-like walkthroughs, then compare which of the Gothan Stories or whatever they link to. That helped me out a few times.

You can also load up a Trophy Map and laboriously visit all the locations.... Ugh.

You can tell what riddle you're missing by going to the riddle screen and highlighting the one that's not checked off, it'll tell you the clue.

For the trophy, short of using a guide to revisit every site I don't know what to tell you. You have finished the main story and all the other sidequests, right? Some of the trophies aren't accessible until you get to a certain point in the sidequests.

This whole debacle is some serious bullshit, and it really is the type of thing that ruins my trust in companies. I'm probably the most forgiving person there is when it comes to poo poo like this, and even I'm seriously considering never buying a WB game again on principle. I'm holding on to some small hope there is compensation for the Season Pass I decided not to refund because the game worked for me, and I somehow trusted that WB would still release the DLC for PC even if the main game was yanked from sale. Overall I'm just... disappointed with the game on so many levels.

I bought it prior to the release for the sale price, and I got the base game free with a new video card. So I'm not going to complain about the base game, as I spent no money on it. But when I buy something that is still on sale that explicitly advertises "new content each month for the next six months" and I don't get that...

That's why their refund policy states you can't get a refund once they've sent you a code, I don't think they have a way to revoke steam codes you've applied.

Nothing, just bad luck. Rocksteady and NRS are both good studios that got hosed by WB and bad testing, similar to how ubercool Avalanche Studios may get hosed over by WB poo poo for Mad Max later this year.

The fact that they didn't just throw out a simple "Yup!" is pretty telling as it would ease everyone's minds, and a simple "Nope!" would in fact cause a shitstorm they don't want to mess with right now. By saying nothing, they can at least push this down the road a bit further.

It's a nice change of pace from regular predator because christ did I get bored of predator in this game. The only things I remember doing in all of arkham knight was predator-batmobile-predator-batmobile. Oh no, now there's titans time for the batmobile to be a predator! foot combat is the stuff I really enjoy in the arkham games, and it felt like for every one combat section i got, I got 5 predator encounters. at leat dual predator was fun, and hell anytime you spent with a partner character made the game alot more fun in general.

I think that's a bit more trickier to take off copies off a game with a graphics card. The card comes with a steam code (I had the graphics card that came with Arkham City) , so pretty sure NVIDIA bought codes off WB to promote the card and game. There isn't much WB can do with that.

I got the game for free when I bought a gfx card to get ready for Witcher 3. And since there were so many issues with this on PC, I've just kinda let it rest there until things work themselves out (if ever). So does anyone have a breakdown and whose fault it is for the PC version. I heard it was done by another company and that Rocksteady had almost nothing to do with it but I don't know what's true or not. I'd like to think that a company that obviously put a lot of effort in this game from how the PS4 version plays wouldn't be happy with a poo poo product that is the PC version, but nothing would surprise me.

Alot of times it's out of the developers hands. Publishers tend to have the last word most of the time in terms of the decision of when a game should be released. I"m pretty sure Rocksteady knew how bad the PC port was but it was out of their hands.

Pretty much WB's fault. I think Iron Galaxy who handled the port did Arkham Origins PC as well. It was pretty buggy at first, playable but buggy. I guess they decided that IG could do it again and booooooooy did that bit them in the rear end.

I hate to sound like a cynical rear end bastard but publishers tend to have that mentality of if it doesn't break the game ship it and just put a day one patch to fix the problems later. Of course with this game it ended up horribly that not even a day one patch could fix it.

I say from experience developers would like to keep a game until it's finish but again, publishers tend to have the last word.

Why is that being a cynical bastard? Day 1 patching, whether you like it or not, makes perfect sense since it allows you to send a game to gold faster and then allows the developers to make a patch during the approval process and gets the game out quicker, thus cheaper. It's been a policy for years now all over the industry.
