Sorta tying with ImpAtom's post, adaptations tend to not use him because he doesn't really have a reason to exist unless Dick Grayson/Nightwing and Jason Todd/Red Hood also both exist, and most adaptations don't "get that far".

The DCAU skipped Jason entirely, and just had Tim as Dick's replacement. I'd assumed that's what had happened in the Arkham universe, until this game.

Random afterthought, but Joker mobile and the rest of that ending was awesome, and the white and orange Batmobile sucks, how do I get rid of it?

I still can't buy this on steam since they took it down. Anywhere else online selling it? Is it good? Is it fixed?

Change the skin of the the Batmobile the same way you change Batman's skin.

There are other resellers, but I'm not sure which are the best /cheapest. It's good (and has some great bits), but it's a bit too padded and the Batmobile stuff never completely justifies its existence. It's largely fixed.

It's one of the main menu options. Gallery? I don't remember, been a while since I booted it up. Anywhere it's where you go to look at all the different skins. You can set which one you want to use from there.

I bought it off cdkeys for 17.50€ in the premium version (Harley DLC and season pass included) three weeks ago or so.

I don't know what system you're on, but when you're on the screen with all of the Batsuit headshots in a grid, move to the one you want to play as and look at the onscreen text at the bottom to choose the one you want to pick. It will say "Select Skin", I think. Do the same from the Batmobile list. You can't pick the Jokermobile, though, unless you haxx0r the PC files.

Looking forward to using Red Hood in challenge maps at least. His attacks have a real sense of weight behind them, even if some of the counter moves are a bit sluggish.

Guessing the rumour of Aslyum/City HD updates never came to anything?

Came back to the game after awhile to do some of the AR challenges and this happens:



One dude materialized outside the blue walls and there was no way to get him, and he just hung around with his arms crossed. I had a big-rear end combo multiplier that was going to kick in too. :argh:

edit: stuck it to the man by shooting a remote batarang straight up and turns out there's an upper limit to the walls. Went up and over and all the way back down, tapped the goon with it which caused the game to glitch him back inside just above me on the corner posts. Tossed a batarang at him and he went down, letting me complete the round.

Oops, my mistake. I misinterpreted a Blue's News post about both the PC version and the DLC, I guess they're not related. PC version's still apparently still in the perpetual "next few weeks".

I think I've written the season pass off as a loss. I preordered both the game and pass before I decided to stop that, wish I had learned my lesson earlier.

Season passes are "deals" in that they are cheaper than buying all the DLC piecemeal. But in every season pass I've ever seen there's at least one thing that I would never buy so buying the DLC I actually want piecemeal works out to be cheaper.

Yeah, as someone who bought the Season Pass I have no sympathy for anyone who bought it. :v:

Figured I might as well spend the extra cash for the "final" dollop of Arkham but yeah, just pick and choose what you want. The pass is too expensive for what we've gotten I think.

What we have gotten? You are not PC masterwaiting race then.

I only paid 17€ for game + season pass and while I enjoyed the game and "only" have to solve riddles now to complete it, I still think calling it a season pass is a joke, judging from what I so far only read about hopefully-at-some-point-coming-to-the-PC DLCs.

I paid 25 bucks for nothing so far, basically. The PC release of AK has just been hysterically awful.

There's a walkthrough video of the new Nightwing DLC on the youtube.

16 minutes total, and the same setup as the Red Hood stuff (combat room, predator, combat room)

I figured it'd be short, but...

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Looks like if you got a refund from GMG, Steam are finally revoking the games from your library.

Though, judging by how poo poo the season pass stuff is, I don't even think I'm missing much by not having it in my library for the eventual pc release (which may be soon if they're revoking access I guess).

Maybe I'll pick it back up again in next year's Christmas steam sale or something.

I get that it's not going to be as long as the main game, but if you look at DLC for other games - even other Arkham games - it tends to be a little longer than 16 minutes. What did it take to beat Harley's Revenge in Arkham City? Like an hour? If you can't even stretch it out to that long, what's the point?

Harley Quinn's Revenge was about an hour, Cold Cold Heart in Arkham Origins was maybe 90 minutes. In spite of having money thrown at them the only campaign along those lines we're getting is Batgirl.
