*** OFFICIAL Batman: Arkham City Thread ***

I played a bit more last night and tried to relax into some of the side stuff... I finished off the AR missions (glad they're over!), did a bit of the Bane stuff, some of the Riddler puzzles.

Thinking about it, I think the problem I face is one of writing, not one of content. The side quests are generally good, the main story is good, but the two seem at odds. If more of the side stuff were integrated into the main quest, so it didn't feel so much like taking time away from the main quest, or if the main quest were a bit looser so you had to explore more and would run into side quests more organically, then I think it would feel better. As it is, doing side quests feels like compromising the main story.
 
I've buckled, I honestly didn't want to but I did... Traded up some games, got the game for £9.99 in the end with trade up and tonight I'll fire up the PS3 and have a go..

I really shouldn't have got this, but I loved Batman AA way too much and just want to play it, if its not that good or boring I'll trade up for uncharted 3 next week..!!

Least I can have a go for myself..
 
PS3 version has some noticable screen tear in places, which I'm sad to see and at first I was really confused as to what I was doing as the game is a lot more open then the first game...

First game was gentle and eased you into Arkham, this is full on from the start, however aren't the graphics just amazingly good in places... The whole skyline is just awesome to look at and the fighting is just as good as before.

first impressions where noticing the screen tear in a few sections, but overall this isn't a bad game at all... Its just got a lot to live up to with Batman AA and this isn't easy.. Side missions do seem a distraction, however I like how you can roam around and do or go where you want.. Voice acting is superb as before.

I'll be ok with this, I'm enjoying it and can see me getting a lot out if it - shame about the glitches as I do notice screen tear, however its not a deal breaker..
 
What's the story with some of the Riddler's trophies then? Anyone worked out how you do the six question mark one? Or do some of the ones where the pressure pads are mounted on the sides of buildings? Or manage to throw remote batarangs at three targets in 5 seconds? Exceedingly tricky to my mind.

I have a guide to all 400 if you want it, constantly being updated...

I didn't bother in the end so just picked up 60 or so easy ones before I sent the game back.

The ones on the side buildings you have to glide into them, then glide to another one usually.

The ones where you have a really short time limit are usually explosive gel ones (just set it on the 3 targets then explode) Sometimes you can do it with remote control batarang though.

The 6 one.....I still haven't worked it out. You might be able to do it with 3 of them being explosive gelled then batarang the other 3 but it seems a very tough one if that is the way.
 
There's 2 with 6 "?"s isn't there ? one under a bridge 3 on each side and another with 6 on a flat wall with 3 in cages.

done the second one the way shamikebab said , gel the 3 in the cages and batarang the others, havent figured out how to do the other one yet though
 
The problem I have with it is it seems so fast paced especially the way you cab zip line all over the place vast distances.. Seems like batman mixed with the action of COD all though that feeling may be exasperated by the fact I'm coming out of Dark Souls.

Ah the one under the bridge can be done just with baterangs, just 3 quick ones, turn around and three quick ones.
 
Trying to post here without seeing any spoilers so apologies if this is already mentioned.

I'm about 1-2 hrs in, but are there no riddles where you have to look around for specific stuff? Like "Gotham's greatest family towers over the city" and all of those like that. I loved them :(

Pretty sure you dont even get the luxury of a trophy/achievement for getting all 400+ of them do you?
 
How many Catwoman segments are there in the SP game? I think I have played as her twice so far but it has been ages in the game since then. I have just got the Ice pellet weapons from Mt Freeze. How long till the next Catwoman part and how long of the game left in total?

Also, when I did play Catwoman I noticed little ratings appear as I was climbing objects. Stuff like "too early", "good", "too slow" etc. Does this have any significance in the game?

Finally, I have just started using L2 to scan Riddler locations, to come back to later, but earlier on I was not scanning them. How will I relocate the ones I did not scan?

You play as her four times. You are probably about half way through now, I guess.

I was wondering the same thing. I dunno.

Well they will all be revealed later when you kill the Riddler's goons.

There's a experience unlock thing for doing 8 good ones in a row up a building, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it
 
I've played a few hours without downloading Catwoman, today I found a riddler trophy but couldn't collect it because it said I needed to download the catwoman add-on thing
anyway, i've downloaded it now, says to access the catwoman content through the main screen bit as story is in progress or something....

what i wanna know is if I have missed out on anything by not downloading it straight away ?

if i had downloaded it from the start are you made to play as catwoman when playing the main story (career) ?
