Anti-Hero posted:Curious how the PC port is going to turn out. I didn't get the ports of AA and AC until many years after release and they seemed to be pretty solid. Did they have all sorts of bugs at launch or was it smooth sailing? Can't decide if I should get AK on PS4 or PC, leaning towards PC. I didn't play Asylum on release, City seemed fine though.

Fulchrum posted:Yeah, but I think maybe Pyg is a bit too obscure. Maybe it's also the fact that he feels less like a Batman villain and more a character from season 4 of Hannibal. He's one of the more memorable Batman villains created in the past decade or so (along with the Owls and Doctor Hurt), he's just not had much exposure outside the comics. He couldn't work as a primary antagonist (in the same way that Hatter couldn't), but he's good for this.

Sinners Sandwich posted:For as terrible as Batman Hush is as a story, it's a really loving good showcase for new readers, got me into it. Perry Normal posted:If you like the villains more than you should check out Brian Azarello's Joker graphic novel, Ed Brubaker's Man Who Laughs, Matt Wagner's Faces, and maybe one of the old collections of Joker stories so you can read Joker's 5-way Revenge and The Laughing Fish and some others like that. And the aforementioned Long Halloween which is a drat good Two-Face origin. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell was also mentioned, which you'd probably like too, Batman's barely in that. It's mostly villains, inmates and asylum staff. Also Tales of the Demon for some Ra's / Talia stuff.

TASTE THE PAIN!! posted:I've been staying outta here to avoid spoilers, not playing much on PC so I can wait for patches. Do we figure another one might be coming around the time of the DLC release on the 14th? They've talked (vaguely) about the PC version being out again in the next few weeks, so I'd figure they'd have fixed some issues by then.

seravid posted:Speaking of comics, are there any good ones with the Batfamily working together (not just special guests for one issue or whatever) ? I remember someone said something about "Batman: Accomplished Father" a million pages ago and that seems like it could be an interesting take on the character compared to the (admittedly few) comics I read as a kid starring Lone Wolf Batman and the occasional, mostly unwanted/unappreciated appearance of Robin. No Man's Land is one of the huge Gotham-wide storylines from a few years ago. A series of disasters (natural and otherwise) leaves Gotham a wreck, and with the government not helping it's up to Batman and his friends (and foes) to keep order. It's one of the main influences behind any story where Gotham is semi-abandoned (like Arkham Knight or Dark Knight Rises).

Fargin Icehole posted:Isn't it kinda hosed up that batman's students (like, say robin, batgirl, nightwing) would...uh study under him for an indeterminate amount of years and all of a sudden this dude who comes out of nowhere prior to city, who knows how to make fiery bat-shaped crop circles...is able to be the successor? Bane breaks Batman's back, Batman appoints Azrael as his successor, Batman realises it's a loving huge mistake, recovers and then fights Azrael. E: The two more recent times Batman has been replaced it's been by Dick Grayson and Jim Gordon, but in both those cases Bruce wasn't around to make the choice.

theflyingorc posted:I don't get the extreme love for the dual predator bit. It felt like one of the least robust features in the game. It's got obvious potential, works thematically, and wasn't driven into the ground with overuse. The one instance we saw was very straightforward but it's not hard to imagine how it could be expanded.

SonicRulez posted:Fun Fact: I thought they just made up random names for the islands in this game, but Miagani is name dropped here in the New 52. I'm re-reading the volumes I have since I'm gonna go on another comics spree here soon. I definitely plan on Year One in print and the Batman trades on Comixology. What are the recs on the other Bat-Family books? I have all of Nightwing and a couple volumes of Batman & Robin. I've heard good things about Grayson. Batgirl? Jason? Tim? Batgirl after the (soft) reboot is fun. Incorporated is great, but it's at the end of Morrison's run and isn't really a good place to dive in.

AmbassadorFriendly posted:Just to mix things up with a few lesser known stories, Black and White are a bunch of short stories but are really good, Gothic is a good early Grant Morrison story, The Cult is the Deacon Blackfyre story and it's good, Shaman, The Man Who Laughs, Venom, The Black Mirror, Son of the Demon, and Destroyer are all good. Yeah, Legends of the Dark Knight is a really good source of deep-cuts for Batman. Also I'd really recommend Batman Confidential #49, except it's pretty annoying to find. It's a single issue story about what goes through Batman's head while he's investigating a relatively ordinary crime. It totally nails the detective aspect of the character in a way that very few other stories do, and looks great while doing it.

Funky Valentine posted:They backtracked on that real quick and the explanation now is that Joker edited himself into old photographs to gently caress with Batman. I don't think they backtracked on it per se, I think Snyder always intended to have that kind of alternate explanation there. He's done that kind of ambiguity at the end of almost every one of his arcs too, right back to Black Mirror. Fonzarelli posted:He cut his face off and now he wears it as a mask? Thats like, a permanent thing?

MeatwadIsGod posted:It makes sense when you're in the bigger world of the Justice League since it justifies him being there. Batman being the master tactician among a bunch of gods keeps him from falling into the Hawkeye-in-the-Avengers pitfall. When you're just dealing with Batman's world without anyone else from the wider universe, I prefer him to be a masterful detective who is fallible and not an 11th dimensional chess player. In the Arkham games he seems like a cross between Morrison's BatGod and Miller's brutal-as-gently caress Batman. One of my favourite Batman bits is from Time and the Batman (written by Morrison) where you're hearing his internal monologue about all the loving crazy poo poo that goes down during Final Crisis, and how he's just a man in a world of mythology, trying to keep up. Then he tries to punch an alien in a nerve cluster she doesn't have (because she's an alien) and gets his arse handed to him. He comes to the conclusion that he's so small he can slip through the holes in the plans of gods, and decides that by becoming a part of that story he can win.

Techniichan posted:Do side missions not provide waypoints to objectives? I just picked up Arkham Knight (never played any previous games in the series); I think I've been spoiled with games holding my hand. Some will (you'll get a notification about having Intel, and get directed to the location). A few of them have clues when you're in the area, like hearing opera music or radio chatter with thugs threatening someone. Some you just have to find.
