One thing about this game that drives me CRAZY? Ok, nerd mode activate -- Batman would never allow his team to use their real names on the radio, yet Oracle refers to Batman as Bruce, and Bruce calls her Barbara repeatedly. Batman don't get down like that. Nerd mode.....power down.

Those clues are AWESOME (especially D)! I missed a lot of that stuff. Good finds.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
is there ever a use for the techniques they want you to learn in advanced augmented reality training. seems like one of the most pointless parts of a game that seems big for big's sake. wish the side missions had a few more ties into the story, instead of just introducing random villains.
feels like infamous in the batman world. although infamous had much better controls.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Finished the story proper last night. In the end I think it's all over the place when compared to it's predecessor. Still really well done, a bunch of fun, and some really neat aspects, but nowhere near as cohesive or enjoyable as a whole experience then Arkham Asylum for me. (And the Catwoman forced integration sections were pretty terrible IMO.)

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
I usually want to know how far in the game I'm in. But yesterday I got stuck really early in the game, trying to find Mr. Freeze, basically I didn't remember a move I was suppose to do in those situations. I'm playing FIFA, Gears and B:AC at the same time, so I forget some moves some times.
Already Google it but couldn't find anything useful.

That always bothered me in the original game too, especially with how Riddler was listening in. In the comics though, Riddler does know Batman is Bruce
Wayne, so I guess it wasn't a huge deal, but if Riddler was listening in who knows who else might have been as well.
Also how about the beginning of AC when Bruce is kicking all kinds of ass while handcuffed. Okay we have a rich spoiled playboy and he is suddenly kicking all kinds of ass in Arkham City moments before Batman appears, and nobody is suspicious?

I'm the same way. I'm quite a few hours into the game, and I believe it shows my progress at about 30%, but I have to think that's 30% of all of the unlockables/items/etc.
I just beat Mr. Freeze and am on my way to The Joker to save Mr. Freeze's wife, but I have no idea how far along I am in the storymode.
Overall, I love the game. The only downside is that the game is so huge that I easily get lost when I'm trying to get from Point A to Point B.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
for those that finished, what is the % complete of story mode or everything that can be done and found prior to doing challenge maps?

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Is there any way for the game to show you how many hours you put into it? I looked at the stats and save file, but haven't seen anything like that yet.

You have to walk around on the ledge for a few seconds before Batman actually mentions that they batarangs can hold an electric charge. Same annoying 'walk around and wait' while trying to identify firing positions for Deadshot.
Also on the ending: Tonight I noticed ...

to get the final riddler hostages, you have to get 400 of the 440 challenges/trophies, right? i assumed it would open up when you got all the batman trophies, but no dice.

And just an FYI, I really like the redesigns of most of the Batman characters, but they made Deadshot look like an idiot. His redesign was totally unnecessary.

I realized that the Augmented Reality Trainings had only 8 total and not the 32 I was thinking..lol...when I heard there were 8 total, I thought each one was made up of 4 tests..I thought they would be hard, but besides one, I was able to do the final 4 first time....one of them though, took like 20 times...

Drats. Looks like this might be the last game in the franchise. Arkham Asylum has only sold a measly 2 million copies in its first week of release. What a letdown, Rocksteady. How about you guys try harder next time.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Just finished up the last riddler hostage thing. I think I'm done. I don't have much interest in the challenge maps. Probably time to sell this sucker back to Best Buy and get like $45 in trade in value.
