I hope they announce some story based dlc soon. I want moar!
Some of these riddles are friggin hard. Thank goodness for the informants.
Who was able to figure out the pressure plate puzzles on their own? Solution:
. I caved and read about the pressure plate puzzles online and I doubt I ever would've figured it out otherwise. But I remember feeling like a god in Asylum when I figured out the "unique perspective" puzzles on my own...

You've got to hit them all in succession without touching any ground (other than the plates themselves)

Few interesting easter eggs:

Sadly, some of them can only be accessed at certain points, which is f**king annoying.

Especially as I would have loved to see Croc again
Since the update the only problem I have is that during the challenge rooms, the game tends to freeze for a second then runs normally. Also, has anyone else been stuck at the 84% mark for the side mission Acts of Violence on new game+? I've been roaming the city for quite a while, and I cannot find/hear any assaults going on.Tsukumo said:
So I am playing...
Going to Steel Mill for second time...close to the back door... Awesome music starts. Full blown choir. Just perfect. I am looking for the name of this score... it was just amazing. I was picking up bad guys with amazing graphics and a fantastic score. What more can one ask from a game XD!

It opens at 400 trophies total, of either type.Dan said:
Hey, that's right, the PC crowd is gonna join the fun soon!Sober said:
Of course, man. That way, you can get help from the people who already played it on consoles (should you want it) and, who knows, maybe you guys will discover some new stuff. I would definitely be interested in that.

My biggest disappointment of 2011.
Solid game all around (graphics, audio, voice acting, etc), just didn't "wow" me like I was expecting. I spent a couple hours doing side missions / collecting Riddler trophies after I finished the main story, but that was it. Catwoman DLC was kinda boring (not worth all the fuss, afterall), and I wasn't interested in teh Nightwing DLC. So, I already traded it in towards Zelda.
It's kinda odd because I do feel AC is a better game than AA though

I really feel the Asylum was more memorable than the city, maybe I have to explore more, I didn't see that ending coming, I had planned doing all the riddles and side missions before finishing it.
I expected so much more
The funny thing is my brother was waiting for me to beat

Does the game's ending change if you play New Game Plus?
I just finished the main game, and while I really enjoyed it, I'm not really motivated to complete the challenges and side quests. I don't know what it is; I got 100% on Arkham Asylum, but I'm just not feeling it on Arkham City. I figure I'll send it back to Amazon while they're buying it at a good price if there isn't any true content left to experience.

Yes, its a riddle. Something about being on the loose.Melchiah said:
You have to scan the picture and desk area. I found that place by accident.
Anybody jump when you try to leave the sewer the way you came in? And
killer croc breaks through the wall when you try to open the gate.
Came out of nowhere.

What were people's problems with the ending? I thought it was kind of perfect.

I agree completely. I wanted to 100% Arkham Asylum like you wouldn't believe, and the entire thing was enjoyable. 100% AA didn't feel like a chore at all. I haven't even wanted to 100% AC. Which sucks. I may go back to it when I can download some skins and things like that, do new game + and see what's what, but I feel like AC was a huge step forward and also a huge step back. I also feel like the controls were a lot more complicated this time, and that marred my enjoyment.divisionbyzorro said:
The final conflict especially was such a let down.
Anyway, I still LOVED the game, but the game feels like chunks of the story were cut out from the main game and didn't feel like a total experience. Maybe that's the drawback of going open world.
I also feel like my experience as a whole was fucked up because of the Catwoman DLC debacle. I don't like the feeling of being nickel and dimed, and I really felt that way when it came to this game. The nightwing DLC, the Robin DLC, the skins etc, on top of them cutting catwoman out and sending out games without codes, that really fucked up a lot of enjoyment for me.

I stay at the main menu and listen to this for awhile
It sounds alot like hans zimmer and james newton howard's work from The Dark Night. Theres another track i like that plays at wonder city when your scanning the robots for the video. Can't find it but damn it sounds good.
I don't understand why some don't really like AC. Its so much better than AA in every way. The atmosphere of the world is beyond amazing. I enjoy this game so much that i take my time with everything. I sometimes walk to my destination, and explore the city, instead of flying across rooftops. I play the game for about 3 hours then turn it off. I had the game for over a week now. I don't want it to end. Haha.
My main story complete says 56%. I finished the part where you fight freeze. Im now doing the side mission where you find his wife. Do i still have a ways to go?
I don't really want to know to be honest

Amazing game, just finished up the story this evening. (fuck you Australia I'm not paying $90 for a game, I'll get it from overseas thankyou)
Final boss fight was underwhelming but overall an incredible game. Haven't even delved into the challenges yet, looking forward to that and looking forward to finishing the side missions and being the goddamn Batman.
Woops, forgot the soundtrack. Yeah, they nailed that shit.

So, PC releases will start coming on Tuesday for North America.
Don't think there will be a preload on Steam because it's not Steamworks retail-support enabled; only the Steam version of the game takes advantage of achievements and cloud support.
I've been pretty much in the dark since the console release but console players, I am interested in what the challenge maps have come out to be, so I have a few questions:
1) Combat/Brawl maps - are there any endless maps? Or are they DLC? (I got the impression that the Carnival or the Iceberg Lounge was in that vein)
2) I've seen videos of custom challenge maps where you can use different modifiers? I think I saw "regenerating health" and "low heath" as options, but what else, and what unlocks them? Riddler trophies?

Delete and reinstall game data. Worked for a friend.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I'm really wondering whether to get this on PS3 for the 3D (really loved it in Uncharted), or PC next week (HDTV/360 pad setup). Does the PS3 have any big problems?
Save data as well? Or just the install? I've generally enjoyed WB's releases this generation but this Arkham City issue makes me want to go fight old people in the street
Not the save data.
So I finished the story. Pretty good, although the end was a little disappointing. Cat woman seemed shoehorned. Slightly integrated to make people buy it, but not enough since some won't buy it.
Side missions make the game though, from the larger ones to the small happenings and riddler trophies. As to riddler trophies, how do you do the pressure switch ones? Do you have to weigh them down, or is it a certain order? I cant seem to figure it out.
