OK, I got suckered. But we shall see, we could get lucky and its just six predator rooms and lasts 20 mins.

I would be genuinely okay with 6 well-thought out boss battles but I don't think that will happen considering that over the entirety of the Rocksteady Arkham games they've had... 2 well thought out boss battles? Maybe 2.5?

Also given the amount of DLC you get every month, I highly doubt you'd get actual long lasting content like Seasons of Infamy. loving laughable.

Mr. Freeze was the only great fight in the Arkham series. I enjoyed Ra's al Ghul, Solomon Grundy, and Clayface through. They weren't anything special, but they were 3 out of the 4 real boss battles in the series.

I remember people saying they disliked Clayface's fight, but I thought it was pretty cool. The only bosses I remember from that game are him, Freeze and Solomon Grundy (and Penguin if that really counts), but they were all pretty fun.

Considering the source of that DLC list seems to be "some random guy on the WB Games forums" I'm not putting too much faith in it.

redbackground posted:What made it more fun for me than anything is that I had no idea it was coming. Clayface being introduced at point blew my mind and it's a pretty energetic little sequence there. It was a good night, that. The coolest thing about the Clayface fight was going back and noticing all of the hints they gave you that Clayface was playing the Joker half of the time. Maybe Clayface should be considered a real boss fight just because you had to play through a second time to appreciate the build-up.

They kind of cheat by having Clayface not be negatively affected by the Freeze Blast when he's pretending to be Joker, too. But it was a great reveal overall. Clayface should've been in Arkham Knight. Or at least referenced in some way. I kinda hope that Clayface ended up being the Bruce Wayne and Alfred that blew up at the end because that whole "Next I will become you, Batman" game over quote and his plan on playing the role of a lifetime seem like it'd mesh well there. It'd also be a decently humanizing moment for a villain in the Arkham series.

Harley pretty much ruins the twist in the steel mill when she straight up says "Oh, Mr. J you look much better-- Oh but it's not you is it" or something like that and then the Joker's like "QUIET HARLEY  ". And I guess it's in character that she'd blurt it out like that but it did basically spoil all the subtle hints immediately, at least for me.edit: It's so jarring that I remember when it happens, too. It's right after you return to the big main room with the REC, after you jump up to the double-doors only to get smacked back down into the pit. That they did something so obvious that early on in the game kinda sucks imo because they did so well with it otherwise. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Oct 8, 2015 |

You try to get up, she shuts the doors on you, and then you talk to home base for a bit. Then Harley says her bit but you can skip it if you enter the door to the next area too quickly. Then you go get the REC.

I think the player is meant to assume on the first go around that she's so ditzy that she's talking to a cardboard cutout or a poster or something. You don't really get a good look at that room until the return trip through the Steel Mill so there's nothing to show she wasn't and by then you've probably forgotten the line.

I always thought the clues about Clayface joker were a nice way to let people know something's off without shouting it out. So you get to actually feel smart when you turn out right. In discussion of boss fights I actually really like Asylum Killer Croc. As long as you only play the game once it's a fairly nice reversal of the usual predator section ideal and works quite well as a tense atmospheric moment. Doing it a second time is the absolute worst though.

The first time through I actually tried to make sure I moved as slowwwwwwwly as possible because that was what the game said (to some effect). Next time through: " Ah, gently caress it."

Also, for the person who asked about the PC port, don't be so impatient. Its not even six months since it launched! E: its 5.2GB. Should be done by breakfast my time. I didn't go thought that Redditch post but all characters are available IF you have their story (ha) pack installed. So Bats, Robin, Az,Rightwing but not batgirl, Harley or Red hood. There is talk of Joker, but I dunno. He has been modelled and all tat, why not? Trickjaw fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Oct 13, 2015 |

Some things to note: Only Batman can be used in Catwoman's challenge map unfortunately. Looks like Red Hood's bullets can also remove electricity. Catwoman has new animations so she isn't ripping dude's heads off. Also it looks like Harley is hard-locked to x8 for her takedowns instead of x5 but she has the super mode to make up for it.

Everyone who isn't in the main game still has no armor and no special combos. I'm not really surprised by the lack of combos but not adding any armor is kind of lame.

Just downloaded the 1.09 patch and the only difference I saw was the Extra Gotham's Greatest Points added next to my total AR challenge score. I guess it's now kind of useful for keeping track of the DLC trophies, but that's it? It's good to know my 5.2 GB went to one new (kind of bullshot generator) function.

I just watched the first 2 Nolan movies for the first time since they came out and I never realized how heavily influenced Arkham was by them, beyond the aesthetic similarities. AK is has a really similar story to Batman begins and detective mode was straight out of The Dark Knight. Not that it's a bad thing it's just interesting to see.

Chasiubao posted:Is that what it was? I went back to Origins and was getting beaten up by every random thug. That's a loving terrible reason to mess with the game's timing Were you playing on pc? Something is very off and different about combat on pc origins, and I'm of the opinion it's something to do with framerate or vsync, and yeah its not present in challenge maps. This isn't a change to make batman less experienced, they even said they tried that at first and it was a horrible idea.
