A ton of people make the mistake of chasing after the Knight rather than sitting by a tunnel and shooting at him for attention.

Yeah, if you do this, you practically can't make a mistake.

Yeah, I mean it's stupid that you should have to change modes for it, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker for most. It is bad design though.

Edit: Oh and also that if you die you have to sit though like a minute and a half of taunting and reloading instead of just dropping you right back in like with the Riddler races.

Strange, I didn't have any problems with that fight at all. And the fact that you have to sit through a minute and a half of dialogue is new to me so I guess that means I just didn't die in my standard or NG+ run through.

Just how are people dying so much in that fight? See the tank, aggro the tank, drive through corridors, lather rinse repeat.

I died a couple of times in the southern tunnel. It seemed to have more serious obstacles than the others. Wasn't especially hard though.

It's easy to get slightly disoriented during the chase sequence when the camera pulls out to a cinematic view, you can drift too far off the line, and you will gently caress up an obstacle and die. I think the jump is the worst of it, because unless you hit the jump going dead straight, you will either clip the ledge and get caught, or miss the jump and get caught.

I saw on my box that the PS4 version comes with some sort of Scarecrow DLC. I can't find it anywhere. Someone online said it should be on the wheel with the other AR challenges but it isn't. Anyone had this issue or can help me anyway?

The Red Hood DLC is frustrating because Red Hood has an interesting gimmick of basically all his moves setting up his wacky gun-fu combat style. He feels a little unpolished but it'd be real easy for him to get polished or even thrive in challenge rooms but instead they're just gonna stuck him in a 5 minute long DLC.

The ability to do long-range beatdowns alone is really fun.

Whichever tunnel was just a series of jumps was the worst in the drill fight. Still didn't take me too many deaths to figure out.

The greatest crime is they gently caress with the camera so you suddenly get disoriented when any mistake will kill you. That's actively bad design.

I guess I didn't have any camera problems because I'm playing with keyboard and mouse, so when you're controlling your own camera constantly it never gets moved to somewhere you don't expect. Explains why other people found first person may de so useful, didn't make much difference to me.

The problem is when there camera pulls out it also loses connection to the direction the car is going, leaving you to have to make a mental adjustment about driving the car at a crucial time.

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

Joker OD'd on Titan, led to him getting Titan Immunodeficiency Syndrome (TIDS), which aggravated his chronic Jokephillis and put him on deaths door, infected bats, who got the cure for TIDS? And the Five Jokesters all "Got the Joke"?

Is that a decent summary as of where I am now?

Ahh, Arkham Knight. The gift that won't stop giving.

So I grit my teeth and finally decided to go slog through NG+ for the final trophy... and it loads me into my first save file. I exit, thinking maybe I hadn't moved down to Continue Story+. I load in... and it's my first save file. Again. Just before Knightfall.

Anyone have any loving idea why this is happening outside of Rocksteady being completely inept these days? As much as I don't want to keep playing, it's the last thing I need to do to put AK to bed.

It isn't going to force me to download the last big update for the DLC I didn't buy just to access my loving new game+ save, is it? I don't use cloud saves for AK, but who god drat knows this with turd.

E: Looks like downloading the patch is the solution. Apparently something hosed up somewhere since it's 5 gigs. I've played through a few patch downloads, this one shouldn't be this big, should it?

Yeah, making him Not a Kid is lame, because by the time he would be even Tim Drake's age, he'd already be more than qualified to be a full-fledged crime fighter. Damian is probably the most skilled of any of the Robins because his whole childhood has been Sweet Ninja Training.

Ya'll missed the point. Skipping a bootup screens is so monumentally simple that including it in a list of things that they are 'continuing to work on' only illustrates their incompetence.

Of course it's likely they just included that in the list of things they were working on to make themselves seem more busy or concerned with customer feedback, so I shouldn't be surprised at how stupid that statement was.

I know they aren't, but they shouldn't have bothered to include him in that case. He doesn't look significantly different from Tim, especially with both of them sporting stupid shaved heads, so it really just looks like a costume redesign for Tim. If the picture didn't tell me that was Damian, I wouldn't have guessed it was him at all.

You're not cute.

If they figured out how to fix something people were complaining about and then put it on the list then why is it such an issue regardless of how small it is? Why do you read so loving much into it? People in this thread will look for any excuse to say WB hosed their dog. Which is weird, because it's not like you need to look hard.
