Was just about to ask this very question. I'm hoping AO is a nice compromise between the (for me) more gripping story of AA and the tighter mechanics of AC. Adam Sessler specifically refers to the story of AO as being worth the $60 pricetag on its own, if that helps?

Can't get any multi going, lobbies are all empty. Had fun this morning though.
Just came in here to complain about this. Really jarring when I first turned the game on. Switch it back!

I really like the game so far. I love meeting different characters for the first time. But I find the weather in the game to be a bit too foggy and snowy, it makes memorising my way around a bit harder than in City.

Playing this game in Parallels isn't fun at all.
It pisses me the fuck off that in every area you have to kill every single enemy to make progress, you can't just sneak by and open the door no no ...you must kill all goons than you can open the door ....so fucking stupid.

Just picked up the Wii U version. I'm so fucking ready to try this out.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
ugh. I'm literally on the fence about this already, but this might be a dealkiller for me. HATE this kind of mechanic
This. I want the option to let all be.
Wasn't it like this in the other games mostly?

Oh wow. Deathstroke challenge pack in the box and blackmask challenge maps for pre-ordering. It warms my heart to see some extra DLC on the Wii U. Happy I purchased the game so far.

Getting this too. Just had to play offline. Yay the future!

Now that is cool, how did you get that? Just for playing on PS3? Sounds so simple. Now I'll have 3 costumes with this an knightfall.

I'm enjoying the game thus far, but the button layout is killing me, and not just in fights either. Selecting and using a gadget in obtain collectibles, only to activate detective vision is getting real old. Also, is there anything in the game equivalent to a collectible map for extortion files, similar to the Riddler maps and Riddler informants in the previous games?
But Batman ain't about that shit. He isn't in the business of leaving criminals undisturbed.

I had fun the few matches that I played. Got to play as Robin and Bane. Playing as the Joker or Bane factions weren't as fun, but I can see myself getting more into it as I learn more and the servers actually start working.

Anyone else got bugged in one of the Enigma's comm stations? The one near the GCPD.
Can't get into a vent, Batman just holds to the edge but doesn't climb.
PS. Steam version.

Same, seems a lot of people have it.
Anyone know how to get the penguin arms cache on the ship? I can't find it.

holy shit deathstroke is hard...
So the Wii U version did end up getting the extras? Nice.
Thanks! I found it. What a brutal bug for an open world game. So far this game has had Bethesda levels of jank. The game itself is great but it obviously could have used more time in QA.
Met Mr. Electrocutioner the second time
Deathstroke was difficult, but only because I missed the first tries, that you can't just clickspam counter and have to be precise in timing. But I really liked the fight, it was positively challgenging. Same for the Bane Bossfight.
Copperhead was easy and was over far too soon. And the fight with Killercroc was just a joke.
wow, he really is blessed with suck. I was looking forward to fight this guy and then just got killed by Joker. Man

I'm getting more and more worried hearing of the bugs in this :/
A lot of people seem to be raving about the story. Plus, someone in the review thread claimed the second half was more AA-like. Very tempted.

I'm still having a blast despite this . That said I'm avoiding the main bug people are complaining about thus far with the vent

Heads up to people going after the control towers. The one in Burnley next to the GCPD building seems to be glitched. The vent inside that you need to go through to get out Batman get stuck on hanging on the edge of the vent. His hands clip through the edge a little (PC Version). Not sure if it can be fixed by messing with the DX11 geometry or something, but as of right now it seems like I can't get through.
Anyone else wanna test this out? Or maybe I am doing something completely wrong. lol.

Yes, it is tied to the

Bowery in the subground level with a crying baby in a stroller, I believe the same spot where/around you first meet Loose Lips.
All you need to finish that sidequest is the Remote Claw.

Wha??? Really? I thought the fight was actually disappointing and easy. Also a Ra's al Ghul fight recycle from AC, just without the flare.

We should have a counter going for how many times this glitch has been posted in this thread. Ha!
The more we complain, the faster WB Montreal hopefully gets it fixed.
Seems like they only did QA on 75% of the game.

Bane
Copperhead
Bane entered the Venom mode, it was next to impossible to dodge his charges and none of the gadgets seemed to affect him. I basically had to wait for him to miss 3 times, do his shockwave attack, and then INSTANTLY start a triple stun to be able to land a beatdown. It's easier when the shock gloves are available, but that charge is just fucking stupid.

Is this a PC only thing, or have all versions the tower bug?
