Not going to get it because they've delayed the PC version.

Do you mean because it comes out one week after Skyrim?

I'm thinking I might consider picking it up at some point in 2012.

No because the console version gets the game first and that is very selfish of these game producers.

And if it came out you'd complain that it was a console port. Give a break an extra month means there putting more effort into the PC version.

Looks like I'm not getting it period cause I waited for the mail to come and no check.  I worked last week for free it seems.

I'm enjoying the game so far. I didn't expect the Catwoman missions to be much more than a gimmick. Maybe they aren't, but I think Catwoman is actually more fun to play than Batman. Takes a bit more skill to get around quickly, but she is seriously good in a fight. First time I got a 50+ combo was with Catwoman. Maybe I am imagining things, but it seems like her extra speed helps a bit. I don't know when the third mission will come, but I'm hoping for the opportunity to explore more and get some more of the purple trophies.

I'm struggling with the AR missions. I want to finish them, but they are just incredibly annoying. It's just trial and error nonsense when you can't even see some targets before you've failed a jump or two, or twenty. They should have taken some ideas from Red Dead Redemption's much more varied challenges. Some of them were a bit diffcult, but really they were all quite fair.

- New Game +. So we can only play with the additonal outfits in New Game +, where there are no counter symbols? Not cool Rockteady. Combat is hard enough with the counter symbols, it'll be downright frustrating without them.

Wow, that sounds massively disappointing. Currently I'm not finding the game all that difficult, but then again that's on normal difficulty WITH the counter symbols.

How does new game+ work anyway? You keep all your upgrades I suspect. Can you pick up the same Riddler trophies again? And why on earth do you not have counter symbols, I thought that was for the highest difficulty setting.

I actually wonder how much money they will lose by releasing it a month later on PC and days after Skyrim. I know at least a dozen blokes  who have cancelled their preorder as they wanted it out of the way before Skyrim landed. Im doing the same i will pick it up for 10 euros in the summer sale next year suppose.

Catwoman's fun to use, but I still prefer Batman, as he has much better crowd control skills. Selina also doesn't have those nifty smoke pellets Bats uses whenever guns come into the picture. Trust me, when the enemies get more numerous and difficult, you'll be glad for Batman's arsenal.

Rocksteady mentioned it months ago that New Game+ would have you play Batman at the beginning oh the story with all his upgrades., at the cost of no counter symbols and higher difficulty. I've not played the Hard Mode either, but from what I've read that has the counter symbols as well.

I'm on the third Catwoman mission now. I see now that she hasn't been as finetuned as Batman. The controls for climbing walls aren't always perfect (for example, there are ledges you sometimes can't reach for no apparent reason). She's still fun to use, and a bit quicker than Batman.

That said, Batman of course has all his gadgets that you can't use anymore. He should be best in a Batman game I guess, and he is.

I still think I would buy more Catwoman missions if they made them.

I see. Well, maybe I won't play New Game + much then. Still plenty of the normal game left though.

There is a trophy/achievement for beating NG+ and doing all the side stuff.

 I got the game just yesterday. Gotta say I found it a bit underwhelming given the reviews. It definitely feels like Batman. But the combat is bad. It basically consists of button-mashing which makes the game less engaging than it should be. Controls are also a bit iffy. The AI is ****.

I just hope the story picks up.

You don't know what button mashing is if you think this is.

Nah, it's button-mashing alright. Sometimes you're in areas where stealth is required, but when you're up against a hord like the one you face in the Museum(whether you're playing as Batman or Catwomen), mashing random buttons is pretty much a requirement.

How odd because when I button mash i get killed.  Its about rythm and timing.... which are the oposite of button mash.  If you are honestly passing big groups of enemies by just shoving your fingers at random buttons than there must be a super easy casual mode because this isn't Diablo.

SPOILERS



Everyone I talk to says the same things "I didn't see the twists coming". Ra's was pretty simple...it was kind of obvious. I didn't see it coming until Strange said something about having a master, and then you go, "oh, his plan is to kill people for the sake of the lawful...who does that remind you of?" It was kind of needless as well...nothing at all was gained for having Ra's be responsible instead of Strange.

Clayface...you didn't see coming because it didn't make any sense. Ok...so, Joker hired Clayface for...what exactly? To merely play his double? To what end? Joker didn't really know WHEN Bruce Wayne was coming in...which means that for months CF had been posing as him. Ultimately, it still didn't matter if he had known...there was really no reason for Joker to need Clayface...considering how everyone was always talking about how sick he looked.

And I still don't understand how Harley got tied up in the Steel Mill. I guess Talia was responsible...presumably she ambushed Harley and took the cure, so that Joker never got it. If that's the case...then why didn't Talia wait around and give it to Bruce when he came by? Why did she disappear, and wait until the final showdown to cure him? She had 2 other opportunities earlier on...either by Harley or when she intervened with Joker.

It's definitely not required and can in fact get you killed. First of all, if you time your strikes, you cause more damage and get twice the multiplier (assuming you were smart enough to buy Critical Strikes). If you go into freeflow mode, everything gets easier, so it's well worth it to carefully counter, dodge and strike accurately.

I have finished the main plot now, and some of the fights would have been extremely difficult without freeflow, and without for example using the batclaw to rip weapons out of people's hands and all the other little tricks that Batman has.

Does anyone else find the Catwoman sections to be oddly one of the best Spiderman games they've ever played?

Button-mashing is tapping the buttons of the controller rapidly. You can still follow a rythm while doing it as long as your still tapping them repeatedly.

You talked about mashing random buttons. Normally when people talk about button-mashing, they don't mean pushing buttons in a particular rhythm, they just mean pushing buttons wildly in no particular order.

But yes, the controls are a bit iffy sometimes, I can certainly agree with that. I think the problem lies mainly with the navigation and not the combat. Sometimes there are just ledges that you can't reach for no apparent reason. It's worst with Catwoman.

Now that we are talking about problems anyway, the last Catwoman mission had one annoying fight where enemies respawn, but this is not explained. I guess I see why now that I finished it, but I hated it when I found out, particularly because the obvious reaction to a room full of armed enemies is to take them out quietly, one at a time. When you start doing what you should be doing, the game doesn't give you as much as a hint that it's the wrong approach, it just quietly respawns enemies.

I agree with this assessment. I too played Arkham Asylum and I thought it was unremarkable as well. It wasn't bad...I saw quality in design and what not, but it was very boring.

On the topic of Batman, I just got through re-watching the Under the Red Hood short film. Absolutely spectatcular and makes playing Arkham City all the sweeter.

Wrong. The game does give you a hint, that Two-Face will keep getting reinforcements, and you should focus your attacks on him.

Yeah it gives you the warning on the retry screen after you die. Which isn't the most helpful time to give you the info.
