The Arkham Knight is Bruce Wayne's fractured psyche after being exposed to fear gas prior to the events of the game, nobody but Batman will actually see or interact with Arkham Knight and this will be the big reveal like 90% of the way through the game. A split personality of Bruce Wayne's is firing up the drone factory and hiring merc squads.

Anyway, this'll be proven wrong when Two Face or somebody talks to the Arkham Knight in the first 10 minutes of the game.

My first thought was that it would be something like this, I hope it isn't actually this lame.

I might be wrong but I think you get the Beyond skin just for having it on steam. Harley Quinn was the preorder bonus, and she'll show up in the season pass eventually if you aren't too worried about having that right away.

Does overpowered matter in a game where the combat consists of mashing one button over and over again and occasionally pressing one other button?

If you're playing on hard you will have a bad time just striking and countering. Its pretty much required to use gadgets and special takedowns. I'm really liking the refinements to the combat. My only complaint is there don't seem to be any challenge maps like the older games that let me use all the characters. Maybe I'll unlock some as I progress.

I've almost gotten 100% on the story mode, this game is great on ps4 and it's been a treat playing it on my 51 inch tv with my gold headset. But I need more challenge maps or this will not have much replayability for me. 4 combat challenges is not nearly enough, and the gimmicks some of them have are lame. I did get a 230+ combo with azrael though, that was pretty satisfying.

10 minutes is generous. Red Hood was so fun to play as to be limited to more like 5 minutes.

Also, a record should be set straight. You can see the "true" ending without getting all the Riddler stuff. It just measures how many Most Wanted missions you've completed. I was prompted to do it before I'd taken down Riddler. So as long as you do everything else, you aren't obligated to do Riddler. Enough with the hate on Rocksteady for the misconception that they gated an ending behind Riddler.

That's still not the "full" ending, supposedly there is more to it but I'm trying to avoid spoiling myself on it. I activated knightfall protocol with everything but riddler done and I got the cutscene and credits, but it dropped me back into the map after and said to bring in riddler to activate the full knightfall protocol. I plan on clearing out the riddler stuff this weekend.

MASSIVE END GAME SPOILER HERE


Bruce flies the batwing to the mansion which is surrounded by press, he enters the mansion and it explodes. That's about it, it cut to credits after that. I'm assuming he was faking his death and the full cut scene expands on what happens after that.

Also, something that's been bugging me: One of the cops in GCPD is highlighted green like he's a Riddler informant. Is that a clever Easter egg to remind you there are dirty cops or can I do something with that?

Please don't spoil this for me but:

Everybody talking about the two endings, can you rush through the main quest for the "incomplete" ending, then do everything else after that and get the "complete" ending later?

Yes, you just get an incomplete ending if you bring in everyone but Riddler, after the credits it will drop you back into the map to finish up.. Collection everything is tedious but the lass boss fight with Riddler is pretty fun and he has some good dialogue as you solve the last ten of his riddles and he realizes how close you are to kicking his rear end.

Controls Chat time, I was slightly incorrect earlier in the thread when I said a hanging ledge drop was Shift+Middle Click, Turns out it is just middle click. Nightwing's Ranged Projectile quickfire for dealing with charging thugs is mapped to 7,7 for some reason. Also after using a controller for a short bit last night, it would seem that drifting doesn't kick in right away when you just tap X/Square, Pursuit/Battle Mode feel almost completely different because you are switching between using the Trigger as your Go forward for Pursuit, and the Analog Stick for Go forward for Battle Mode, whereas on KB+M, W is always go forward which makes for slightly less jarring transitions between the two. Also the Special Combo Gadget takedowns are a little easier/not as bad on a controller, because you are just holding the buttons for quickfiring your gadgets, so to do the Batclaw Combo Takedown you fire the quickfire batclaw which grabs someone, and continue holding, and it transitions nicely into the instant takedown. On KB+M you hold down the gadget button, which does not quickfire the gadget and you stand stock still for 3 seconds hoping to not get punched in the face, and if you don't get punched, the takedown happens. I have tried double tapping and holding the second tap so that it goes from quickfire to takedown like with a controller, but it does not work, and only quickfires the gadget.

tl;dr: I sperg about batman mechanics.

I don't know how anyone plays this game without a controller. Even on the PC versions I played before this I used an xbox controller.

Is it just me or is the game harder? I got wrecked a few times by brutes, probably intentional. Everything seems to move faster too but this could be because I've spent almost the last year playing a poo poo ton of the last three games so I've gotten used to their timing.

It's definitely harder, I had gotten to the point playing on hard in Arkham City I was barely even touched in combat. A lot of the combat encounters in Knight wipe the floor with me. I think I'm going to hold off on starting New Game + until there are more challenge maps so I can refine my skills and timing.

It feels like the thugs attacks much more frequently than city, and it feels like the critical counter is super important as it's free crowd control

The throws are an awesome addition to combat, and I don't really miss the batswarm. I also appreciate that the other characters had special combos tied to every button combo, it really helped the flow of combat in dual play for me. We really need more dual play challenge maps, and at least one dual predator challenge. That segment with robin is probably my favorite one in the game.

I was really surprised there wasn't a map with catwoman and the riddler bots, I really liked that it force you to switch between characters a lot. And if you enjoyed that section, you should definitely take the time to finish up the riddler stuff at some point because I thought his boss fight was fantastic.

Multi-batarangs might make things easier with some trophies, but you definitely do not need them. I thought you needed a 5x fear takedown to take out the 5 riddler bots in the movie studio, but the other day I saw a video of a guy doing it with just the 3x takedown and being really fast. They did a pretty good job of giving you multiple ways to deal with some of the riddler trophies. You definitely need to have all your gadgets but I don't think any one gadget upgrade is actually required for anything except a couple of the AR challenges.

I can't figure out these stupid sonar-activated follow-the-path-Riddler trophies for some reason. They always seem to lead up to a point where I either have to get out of the car or go the long way around in the car or make a jump in the car and then at the other side, there's no trace of the drat path or the drat trophy!

You can use a custom way point on the map during these challenges, and it helps a lot. Especially the one in founders island that goes through the manhole.

acksplode posted:

I think we're talking about different puzzles. The one I remember was very simple: three question mark switches in a row, and you had to activate all three simultaneously to get the trophy. I definitely sat there for a minute, trying to hit 2 and quickly follow up with the last, but as soon as you hit one switch, the rest would deactivate. They need to be triggered at the exact same moment.

I'm almost positive you can just do the rapid fire batarangs for this one.

So what was the 100% riddler ending? It lingered really long on the staff photo after the credits that i thought i had to press a to continue and i think i might have skipped it.

It was everything before the credits. It appears there was a bug that let some users see the full ending without getting 100% completion so that might be why you didn't see anything different. In the not 100% ending the cutscene ends after wayne mansion blows up.

I thought I could just EMP the force field and get up there with a remote Batarang,but that only hits one target and using the EMP again resets it. Any advice from Goons who have done it?

Do the EMP, then eject from that car and do the line launcher perch so that you stay above it.

If you mean the slot machine you just need to match up the symbols. It's a bit tricky getting the timing right. I got it on my first try, I think matching black diamonds. I don't know if you can just match any symbols or if it has to be a certain set.

You've gotta shoot it in the order B -> C -> A. That's how I solved it. I don't get how I did it or what it means, but that's what you do. You have to hit the thing when the spinner passes over the letters. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Ohhh, if it's this one you have to spell out "bat". It's really convoluted because you have to use the batarang to keep switching directions. And you have to stop the spinner while the arrow is over a letter for it to register, and if it goes over that reset it will wipe out your progress.

Marvel on the other hand has some pretty convoluted continuity, since they don't do hard resets in the 616 universe, and aside from the occasional soft reboot a character, continuity sticks. Like how Jubilee is a vampire or Doc Ock is Spiderman.

They's why marvel has always been ab it easier for me, but that also probably comes from growing up reading every marvel book I could. DC's resets always confused me. The only DC books I've really read have been self contained elseworlds stories and the big batman stuff (Year One, The Long Halloween, Dark Knight Returns, etc) I guess Marvel is finally doing their big continuity reboot by merging the mainline and ultimate universes.
