Yup, 3 ?'s on every combat/predator/campaign challenge.
I won't ever get 100% because the campaign challenges are bullshit.

For people with the 360 version, are other profiles locked out of the Catwoman stuff?
There we go. I got 440/440 riddles and completed all the side missions. Finally got that last AR mission.
Yep, I'll never get there, and I'm good at combat, but not quite that good. I should be able to average 2 medals all around and get the two bronze trophies for regular/campaign challenges.RyanardoDaVinci said:

The Combat Challenges are a breeze compared to Asylum, thanks to the new superfocus mode or whatever it's called; it's the Campaign Challenges that are a ridiculous requirement, as there are 12 missions, each comprised of 3 of the previous combat/predator challenges strung together.
I expected a lot more from "Campaign" Challenges; like, doing certain parts of the actual campaign with restrictions/requirements/modifiers etc.
Not a mash-up of already ???'d challenges...

If I choose to
will I still get to collect any of the relevant trophies I may have missed? Or will I have to wait for new-game plus?
Edit: Nevermind.
take the money and run as Catwoman
Edit: Nevermind.
Welp. I haven't tried it an it seems like I'm screwed :\RyanardoDaVinci said:
As I have said before I can't play as Catwoman yet, when I am able to how much gameplay time should I be expecting as her?
BIG SIDE QUEST SPOILER
Azrael part was FUCKING AWESOME TOO! Just like Hush, sets up another plot perfectly. So it seems we have another game after this one fellas. Was a bit worried there after the ending.

At what point can you no longer explore the city and collect trophies, riddles and side-quests?
I don't want to get into new-game+ until I find all that stuff, and I'm nervous about missing a point of no return without warning.
Don't worry about spoilers (in my case, block it out for others obviously), I see where the story is going.

Thanks for the quick response at this time of night dude.
I thought I was the only one up at this hour playing videogames and surfing GAF simultaneously!

Is there a way to trigger side-missions?
It's a little weird that I'm already going into Strange's tower, but the percentages for the Serial Killer and Identity Theft side-quests are only about 40% (so two alerts?)...

In the case of those 2 it's a bit random. It took a bit of gliding around basically and I got them. It won't take too long in either case. Serial Killer side quest is great btw.

You have to find the next body, it doesn't randomly show up for that one, its just in one spot. The phone one is random, as is saving the citizens from thugs one.

Catwoman stuff is very short. First chapter is literally like 2 minutes and takes place in a single room. The other three chapters range between 10-20 minutes a piece, total playtime is definitely less than an hour. IMO it was the weakest part of the game too, not terrible, but not up to par with the Batman stuff.

The city is pretty much open during the 2nd mission, I leveled up quite a bit before going off to faceSean said:
Ivy
MINOR MUSEUM SPOILER:
Is that supposed to be Kitana from MK from the booth in front of the first cope you save
I died before I got the intro for the Shark. I thought the death scene was supposed to be funny
akilshohen said:
Yeah, you can squeeze more playtime out of the Catwoman stuff if you go after her trophies and level her up and such, but that's not really necessary at all. I completed the game without upgrading her once.
Her campaign is pretty weak IMO when you think about it.
Episode 1 -
Walk up to the safe, then beat up Two Faces thugs. All takes place in that one room and lasts two minutes.
Go to apartment to get equipment (she jumps in and out of a window, can't even look inside her place), then go to Poison Ivy's place and beat like three waves of thugs.
Walk literally one room over, pickpocket the two guards, then beat up the guards inside the giant safe.
Two Face "boss" fight in the museum. Nothing really involved, just beat him up and don't die.
Even Batman's side missions are far more involved and larger in scope than those episodes.

Can you switch freely between Catwoman and Batman after you finish the game? Or will I have to jump back into new-game plus in order to collect the remaining Catwoman trophies that I can't access (cause I need Batman to glide/line-launch into some panels or whatever).

Thanks.
Yeah, I was disappointed in the Catwoman missions too.
When Rockstead said that Catwoman would be stealing from the villains in Arkham City, I figured she would be looting people like Two Face, Penguin, Riddler, Joker, etc while they were occupied with Batman.
So you'd have different interactions with those characters, different traps to negotiate or what have you.

yeah I finished mission 2, it took me a long time because the "LEVEL UP" text was blocking the compass. I was a little upset that youSean said:
you don't get to explore her place at all

Honestly, I feel the same way about this game as I did Resident Evil 4.
I know I'll look back on it as an incredibly satisfying experience in a few weeks, even months. But at this point, it's crossed that fine line from incredibly satisfying to 'just fucking END already'. Like it went 5 hours or so past the point of 'leave the audience wanting more' and into 'the audience wants you off the fucking stage, NOW'

Finally beat the game.
Jesus that story was a mess compared to the first game.

Been putting some good time into my copy for the past few days. Picked it up Friday night from Walmart for that bundle with Arkham Asylum. Originally the plan was power through the first game and jump into Arkham City, but the new game just kept calling out to me! Put a good 15 hours so far into it and loving every minute of it. Had to wrestle the controller from my BF who kept playing it this weekend while I was napping or eating. He's almost up to where I'm at now, though at the rate I'm going I'll be done with the game in a few days lol.

I am replaying B:AA on PC while I am waiting for B:AC to release and love all those little Riddler challenges. This time I will even complete every challenge map.
Wow... 400 Riddler challenges? Oh, how I look forward to these

Enjoying the game, but I think I prefer Arkham Asylum at this point. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic game, but it just doesn't feel as focused as the original. I almost feel as if there are too many features for its own good.
Each of the main story missions are well done for sure, but something about them isn't appealing to me as much as the original. The city is well done, but again, I actually kind of preferred the island environment.
Anyone else feel this way?

I finally got to dig into this heavy yesterday. Restarted from scratch, and got up to
.
Fantastic game, though I'm horrible against enemies with guns.
Also, took me about 50 tries on the advances AR training, until I figured out the trick. Completed all of those last night, so I'm hoping to start digging into the sidequests tonight.

I tried clearing the system cache... doesn't work. This appears to be a common problem as well going by the Arkham City boards.
I'm not touching the game again until there is a fix for this.
Yeah, going through that thread on the Arkham City boards. Quite a few are experiencing corrupt data like I am.

I need help with a couple riddler trophies.
Damn, I only have the Nigma's sidequest up to 40%.
6 questions marks in a cage like room, 3 on the top and 3 at the bottom. Then there is one with nothing but ocean at your feet and a cage hallway, I can zip line and zip line again but its just a dead end and I fall in the water. Another is two plates on the wall of a building, and on the other side of each other.
