Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Ah gotcha, thanks for the info. Yeah I am at about that part in the story. It just seems weird, since I'm not interested in that storyline, I wish they gave the option to skip it if you redeem mid-game. Or maybe I should have redeemed the code after beating the game. Not a huge deal though..

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
I swear some of the side missions I didn't get to complete before beating the game glitched after the credits ran and now I can't do them. The locations of a few are marked on the map but I've searched those areas very carefully and I can't find anything to move those missions along.

If you're talking about Nora, she's a PITA to find and not near the marker at all. or at least not where you enter the area.

Spoiler:
The freeze weapon...forget what it's called is still doable as well...but not marked.
Spoiler:
And Nora is there...just tricky to get to, as mentioned above.

What bugs me is that Robin's DLC is nothing but challenge maps. They could easily have added a story with him that occurs either before
Spoiler:
It would have been a great way to bring in other villains like Firefly.

I really enjoy playing as Catwoman. I agree that the story isn't all that great but if they came out with a full-blown Catwoman game like this, I'd be all over it.

I actually enjoyed playing as her. She's essentially Spider-Man somehow in Arkham City.

or after he and Batman part ways.

I played her story bits and tracked down most of her Riddler trophies, but that was it. If a Catwoman trophy was any appreciable distance from where I was, I would often find a place to switch to Batman to travel there and then switch back. I found the mechanic of smashing into walls and hopping up them that annoying.

However, it irked me that she'd drop to the ground after a hanging takedown for no apparent reason.
You can switch between them on the fly?

I actually enjoyed using her whip to swing across the city and I also enjoy crawling over enemies for stealth takedowns. And I never got stuck in any fire escapes.

I thought she played just like Batman except without the ability to glide or grapple, both of which made the world fun to navigate, and with this awesome tendency to get stuck in fire escapes and such.

I finished the main storyline last night. I also finished Catwoman's storyline (I hope they find something more compelling for her to do in the next game). Overall, I enjoyed the game but I have some reservations about the story.
At least one of the those glaring plot holes could have been fixed with story based DLC for Robin and/or Nightwing. Instead we just get more challenge maps.

It seems Game + mode sort of resolves a certain dangling thread:
Haven't played Game + yet but I'm glad to know there's a bit of payoff to that revelation.
Now the question is

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
This may or may not be a stupid question but do you first get "Nora" for Mr. Freeze and then go after Joker or vice-versa? I have the "Joker" primary and the "Go Find Nora" as secondary.
And yea I've kind of looked around the area for Nora and haven't a idea. The building right next to the water has a locked door (double-doors) which also has the breakable wall down by the water (?)

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
I'm stuck at a place where you have to use the remote batarang to unlock a panel. It's the one you do after you've been using Freeze's device to make little ice islands to navigate through Gotham's pipe systems. Basically, after you defeat Freeze and have to look for Joker. I can't seem to get the batarang to hit the device correctly, even when it seems to hit it directly. If anyone knows how to get past where I am, please let me know.
