I really don't care if the main story is garbage, so long as there are a lot of side missions that let me Batman around, catching villains and doing (fake but cool looking) detective work.
I just finished listening to the VideoGamerTV youtube review, and they pretty much say that that's exactly what you will get.

I think Riddler is down to 200 collectables this time from the 440 in City. Apparently they're supposed to be more unique this time, or something.

That first Batmobile chase was some of the most embarrassingly bad videogaming of my entire life :negative:
(in that I was shockingly super-terrible at it)

Also, all this motion blur is absolutely killing my poor machine. Low settings for everybody!

I only had a few minutes this morning before I had to leave for work, but I knocked the Maxfps to 120 and put that post-MotionBlur setting to 0.000 and the game was definitely running smoother (I was having major tearing and stuttering just trying to grapple earlier), so that's a start. If anyone has any good tips on Batmobiling using a KB/M, let me know (I beat all the other games using KB/M, I'm not switching now--all that muscle memory is locked in.). I basically turn into Drunk Batman once I start driving.

The dialogue scenes seem so sleepy and there's always unnaturally long pauses after sentences, like there's a laugh track delay, and Gordon's new VA is not an improvement.

Countering a car headed towards you is always good fun, if you haven't tried it yet.

Looking forward to any and all patches that are in the pipeline.

Terrible question incoming: When Batman is hanging from a ledge or whatever, does LCtrl not drop him down anymore? What are you supposed to press to drop him down a level? I was hitting everything and he just hung there.

It's broken anyway. It will show FPS over 30, but (if you don't muck with the .ini) the actual game will not go above that. It literally provides no useful information.

I have textures on low and it looks fine, so there's probably also something else going on.

I think it may have been more of a streak of textures literally loading the barest resolution possible for way too long a time, and things just looked like a cartoon. I remember seeing a car pic on the Neogaf forum that matched the look, I'll see if I can dredge it up.
