Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
I've been trying to knock out all the side missions as I go to help reduce the "noise" as I go around town (phones ringing, political prisoners calling for help, etc). The problem is that many of them are multi-part, so they never seem to go away completely.

Don't even mention phones ringing! I pick one up to stop its incessant ringing -- surprise, I get an "optional" mission : find the source of this ringing in 120 seconds or lose the game. Gee, thanks for that "diversion", Rocksteady.

I actually thought tracking down Mr. Zsasz periodically when you heard a phone ringing was a lot of fun; it was cool to have to actually race through the city to a destination.

Geez, all you whiners bitching about everything makes me glad I haven't played since the 90 minutes I spent that first night a week ago.
Gaming doesn't sound fun anymore.

I gotta say the game is so huge, it's kinda not fun. Here I was doing a side mission with Bane (find the 6 containers of TITAN)... and the next thing I know I stumbled on a main story mission and I'm totally confused on what just happened.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
That happened to me too, so I decided to play the main story and do the side mission after I finished the game. Besides the Titan containers can only be found while doing the main story.

I don't see how you can be confused. One of the titan containers is in a location where the main story is occurring. So, once you go there, it will trigger that event.

Same here. I had fun. I made most with plenty of time to spare. There were a few where I was gliding down and hit "A" just as time was expiring though. Close call!

It seems like most of the people in this thread bitching are just going off about stupid stuff. Who cares if you hear chatter from the criminals or phones ringing? Is it really so distracting that it effects how you play the game? It adds to it for me I'd rather hear some noise than just nothing.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Some of the chat is actually funny, although I've read most of them online.
So, IGN finally released its walkthrough for the ones interested.
According to it, I'm halfway there. But according to the game stats I'm like 20-30%, they have stats for the main story and for the game completion, for the full game I'm like 7%.

I finally got the game yesterday. I have played for about 5 hours, and so far I like the original game more.
Those Advanced AR training exercises are a huge pain. It took me over an hour before I completed them all. And the reward for doing so? Nothing. You get a grapnel boost for completing the easy beginner exercises, but struggle through the advanced ones and you get nothing. That makes a whole lot of sense.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
I did love the Azrael cameo as the "mysterious watcher", and it is also obvious the killer who looks like Bruce Wayne and wraps the victim's head in bandages is going to be Hush.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened... when you go down the chimney of the steel mill. I was anticipating only getting the TITAN thing and then I was knee deep in another mission. I'm not even sure what the end game of the mission is just yet --- will I get the TITAN container AND complete the main story mission or have to go back in?

I'm a bit surprised by the negative reaction. I love the open environment way more than the first game. I guess it just depends what people like...

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Sure, it's a minor thing in the scope of things in an otherwise great game, but that chatter is incessant. It would be one thing if it were stuff you heard when you were sneaking around behind baddies, but this is stuff you can hear chatting on the street from the top of buildings. Maybe it bothers me more than others, but I'm having trouble tuning it out and wish there were a way to turn it off without muting the game. It bugs me almost as much here as in Ms Splosion Man.

What? I found 4 of them during the main game. Found the last two after finishing the game. Then returned to where that submission began to end it.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Oh I know, I was just annoyed at the one part there toward the end that was a must-do. I've figured it out though. Tricky, but neat.
That's the thing with this game, when I've come across something that drove me crazy and thought I'd hate, I just got back to it and worked at beating that part and appreciated it more later. Feeling rewarded, what a concept!

Oh and thanks for the spoilers. Not all of us know the Batman universe left and right. I had no idea who the Watcher was nor who the fuck Hush is.
