I think I had the situation in the Clock Tower you were worried about triggering, and if I remember right there's two different buttons to press at the console to choose either the main mission you just started, or the other thing that brings you there. And I agree, the next part is my favorite from the game too.

It feels like the APCs have 3-4 times the health I would feel comfortable giving them to avoid making the thing drag on, though having them take double damage after the escorts are down seems to help. Also I wish we had a bit more of this Two-Face in Arkham City.

Two Face is really good in this game, I think.

Harley looks a lot better without the mask. Also, Batgirl's costume makes me think "GIRL ABS" really loudly.

So far Two-Face has been the best of the sidequests. A time limited predator sequence for all the loud takedowns followed by a nice slow regular one, and no bat-mobile until it's time to drop him off at the GCPD

Troy Baker's Harvey Dent/Two Face is great, shame he's so underused in the Arkham games. I like the how the duality is done in this version. Harvey Dent isn't a good person, but he's more reasonable and articulate than the more violent and angry Two-Face personality. A lot of the time, it's more black and white split, so a Two-Face with a bit more greyness is interesting. OldMemes fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Apr 15, 2016 |

It feels like they're shoving four games worth of characterization into a smallish sidequest, but it's actually good characterization so I'm for it, especially after the "TWO GUNS BITCH!" treatment he got in City.

They'd be fine if they just had the less health that they seem to when you take out all the escorts all the time. If you get to the APC past them then you can finish the mission faster and everyone else scatters since they failed to stop you.

OldMemes posted:Troy Baker's Harvey Dent/Two Face is great, shame he's so underused in the Arkham games. Yeah, one thing that doesn't make sense in some portrayals of Two-Face is that if Harvey Dent is still good why doesn't Harvey turn himself in every time he wins the coin toss? Having Harvey be criminal but with different tactics works a lot better for his character than just having him be a vehicle for the coin.

Probably because even if Harvey's good, just like most good people, he doesn't want to go to jail and/or Arkham. It's not fun, I hear.

That random goon going "Eh, that Arkham Knight guy is all talk." gets it. I feel like there should be a supervillain called The Goon. His superpower is having common sense, which makes him avoid doing dumb things like not shooting Batman when he has the chance. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the common sense to not fight Batman.

So, can you have, say, Two-Face and Poison Ivy in the car at the same time if you time the sidequests with the main story right?

Nope, if Batman has a prisoner with him, he'll just say he has to take them to GCPD when you try to get out of the car. I don't think the Batmobile having two back seats ever comes up after ACE Chemicals. Though I think there's one Most Wanted quest that doesn't require you to get out of the car, so now I'm curious whether that'd glitch out or just not let you initiate the final part.

It's a shame Renee Montoya doesn't appear in the Arkham games, her relationship with Harvey Dent is really interesting when they share screen (page?) time.

You can't have any other characters than Batman, they'd remove the focus from him. Which will not do. In this video, I noticed that our "sane" prisoner has the same chin, mouth (though unsmiling), and nose as the Joker. He's not that well after all, is he?

Is there some villain who's compulsion is to precisely label everything? Cause I noticed the empty cell Batman shoved that one crooked cop into now has helpful signage.

FYI I recorded combat challenge maps this weekend. I haven't even touched the predator challenges or the batmobile challenges yet. It's a work in progress.

He was probably just weirded out that Batman was waiting for him in his bedroom with the lights out.

What was the deal with Jason Todd that made him so hated, anyway? Was it just that he was a new Robin that wasn;t Dick Grayson or was he sort of insufferable?

dscruffy1 posted:Gonna start posting some challenge mode stuff too. Here's a Batmobile challenge! Ep 28 Notes:
Challenge Mode Notes: One big note on early design in AK that I think was the cause of a bunch of problems this time around. I strongly suspect that many of the sidequests and challenge modes, like the Scarecrow Nightmare, were originally developed to be included in the main game. Partway into production, decisions were made about what to keep in the campaign and what to split off. This is why some of the setpieces of the main plot feel arbitrary, and why some of the sidequests are so undercooked. Scarecrow Nightmare was probably originally a bossfight that would come later in the game. It'll be fairly obvious when. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Apr 17, 2016 |

They could have made a larger predator map with two people and up to maybe 20-30 goons, and make it all Arkham Knight soldiers. You start off with a limited amount of different ways to hunt and the pack always learns and defuses the ones you used before. Add some high risk/high reward double stealth mechanics - like say have robin hold a line launcher wire that batman can use as a makeshift above take-down, but if its used too much they will see it coming and gun them both down. Put some actual tension back in the predator sections. They had the pieces they needed to utilize double predator, but they just didn't care to because they decided car was the big gimmick. Everytime I look at this game, I just seem to find new ways to despise the car.
