Just beat the game. Have avoided this thread because I was worried about spoilers. drat that was good. Went in expecting to hate the Batmobile but came out pleasantly surprised. Still hate the tank battles though. I admit the AK's identity was a complete surprise to me because I thought I'd read somewhere that it wasn't who it was, so yeah :downs:

Question: Is there any way to pick the white / gold prototype Batmobile you get after the AK's drill thingie eats up the original? The Batmobile went back to the original black after I switched Batsuit skins and there's no way to get the other one back :smith:

If you're like me, that slowdown was always happening and you're only noticing it now because it finally matters. This fight is all about being able to make a safe getaway after taking a shot. Take out a side, speed down a long stretch to gain distance, and then go tank mode and start zigzagging through a more mazelike part of the city until the Arkham Knight loses track of you. Do that 4 times without taking much damage and you should have enough health to take on the last stage of the fight.

Any time I went straight the tank was always right on my rear end, so I could never avoid him that way :( I ended up cheesing the fight by jumping into the canals because the tank takes a long time to get down there, and you can burn off a bunch of the meter.

How the hell do I get the Riddler trophy at Osamu Tower on Bleaker island?

There's some numbers at the top, but I can't figure out what to do. The elevators at the bottom don't work.

They should be map coordinates that lead you to a winch point you charge up, and then have to race back across the city under the time limit to get the trophy. The winch thing isn't usually at those coords exactly, but should be viewable from them.

Ohhh okay I was wondering what I was missing. I did see the winch point. gently caress I hate time trials.

Yeah, Asylum has only just started to show its age graphically. Arkham City probably won't start to look genuinely aged for a very long time.

On PC, I'd agree. On console, it just looks muddy, compared to Arkham Knight.

Also because I prefer the Bonetroller over the 360 controller (I'm a monster :smith: )

OK so I'm heading to bed and will finish the DLC tomorrow morning but so far it doesn't seem that bad. While it's probably not huge (I think I'm about halfway through after a couple of hours or so) there's a decent variety of combat and predator encounters. The "hacking" gimmick Batgirl has was way overstated, mostly amounting to remote takedowns and distractions and so on, but she feels different from Batman - quicker and much more nimble but she also requires special abilities and gadgets to put enemies down with any real speed.

Dialogue between her and Robin is fun if a bit cliche. Goon dialogue is amazing though and you have to let them talk uninterrupted, especially in a certain predator room where a hostage is strung up. :allears:

As a minor aside the problems Arkham City had with Catwoman aren't there. I haven't heard any goon taunts refer to Batgirl as a bitch (I haven't died though...) and the only vaguely sexual thing I can recall is a couple of them mockingly talking about how they won't bite unless she asks them to, an attitude that's quickly replaced with pants making GBS threads terror as you beat on more of them. :v:

Because I play videogames for pretty princess dress up, what skins does the DLC come with?

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 game) stole the combat and stealth (poorly) from Arkham. They even stole the 'your suit gets trashed over time' mechanic.

Yeah, making him Not a Kid is lame, because by the time he would be even Tim Drake's age, he'd already be more than qualified to be a full-fledged crime fighter. Damian is probably the most skilled of any of the Robins because his whole childhood has been Sweet Ninja Training.

Isn't he dead before he's Tim Drake's age?

I gotta admit, the DLC being so absolutely pathetic makes my decision to buy the game up front instead of waiting for an inevitable GOTY edition acceptable. On Bone, mind you, so it was absolutely fine the whole way through.

I mean, of course there'll be a GOTY version, companies are shameless, but it'll come off as rather tasteless if they release it on PC.

I feel bad for anyone who spent a penny on this game. It's a shame that the season pass was handled so poorly too because there are developers who do them right.

The base game, at least on console, was pretty great and overall I enjoyed it. I'm with you on the DLC though, its an absolute poo poo show.

The one time that really ticked me off was when Bats is tracking AK's radio signal or something and it shows he has to get underneath Not-Grand Central Station or whatever it was called. Of course there are like 30 tanks stationed in front of the entrance. I honestly thought I would be able to, as All Other Standard Batman Protocols dictate, just sneak past them with some clever disrupting/Bat-distracting and they would never even know I was there. Nope! Buckle up, buckaroo, gotta shoot up half the island instead! :bang: I felt extremely un-Batman-like at that point.

If they just put the Batmobile in without the stupid tank combat, I'd have enjoyed it so much more. Whatever person came up with tank combat to justify the Batmobile is a monster.

Jumped back in to actually do the Knightmare New Game+ mode, and I found something out: If you have the Elite Controller, the Power Winch charging thing is trivial. If you flip the switch to use short-throw triggers on RT, you literally cannot pull the trigger enough to push the needle out of the zone :v:
