Finished up the Riddler stuff earlier, was disappointed when no trophy popped up... and then realized there never was one for getting them all. D'oh. Oh well, all that stuff is knocked out for NG+.
Started it up and WOW... this is what I'm talking about!! I hate counter icons, they're too distracting. I find myself having a much better time with fighting without them, because everytime I see one pop up I'm tempted to press Triangle, even if they're out of range (which means the end of a combo if they're out of range). Without the icons, it's easier to gauge which hits can actually hit you and which won't, and figure out whether to press Triangle or disregard it.
