Hard is pretty easy, so Normal must be super duper easy. If it takes an achievement to get you to play hard, then LOL.
I caved early this morning and tricked myself into justifying the purchase too. You see, I had $3 left over from that free PSN cash a few weeks back. So adding $5 to my wallent was really like only adding $3, $3 which I can then use to......I really just wanted The Animated Series skin for my NG+ run.

You have to do the riddler stuff.
The first hostage shows up story related, the second after 80, the third after 160, the fourth after 240, the fifth after 320 and Riddler`s hideout at 400.

I fuckin love this game. I got my 100% and I'm sitting at 1100 gamer points. All I have left to do now is get the challenge achievements and campaign achievements for Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing. SO GOOD!
Also, I missed
Bummer. I would've really enjoyed that in real time.
Also, I missed
Croc's appearance in BOTH play throughs.
Thanks. I wasn't going to go for the 100%, as I said earlier in this thread, but after I put the game down a couple days and started trying to finally finish Uncharted 2, I kept thinking "I'd rather be playing Arkham." So fuck it, I'm in for the long haul. What made me happiest once I started playing again was nailing the first advanced AR training exercise after only a couple tries (having previously been driven nuts by it). What a pain in the ass that one was.
A pack of seven skins.
To be fair they are all different meshes, you can't suddenly use the Rocksteady Batman model and make TDKR or TAS Batman from that without looking ridiculous. When you say "skin", go up the thread, someone posted a Batman Begins skin, because it uses the Rocksteady Batman but they retextured the costume to the Begins style.
(i.e. they actually put more effort into it than you believe)
I think he said he wanted a new gadget, the
line launcher
Robin himself
There's no difficulty achievements.
Yeah they are worth it for me. I'm not a huge fan of skin packs but I just love this game and actually don't mind paying some extra money for skins I wouldn't have even gotten last generation, plus the publisher gets more money from me which means more batman games. Awesome deal.
Btw I'm using the animated skin right now. Had no idea that this skins also applies to catwoman. I was surprised when I saw her wearing this skin. Looks "sexy".
The skins are delicious teaching a group of punks some manners as Dark Knight Returns old bats is tremendously awesome.
Something about how bulky he is makes him flying round the city more crazy. Batman Beyond is creepy as fuck if i was a thug and i saw that in the shadows i's shit myself

Just finished the game. Really enjoyed it, but the story was not too great. They just kind of threw as much fanservice at the screen as they could.
And I'm sure most people probably know this, but it was kind of cool that the game started the same way that it ended.

I've just spent 90mins installing this friggin' game!
I've bought the retail version and am wondering how i go about updating the game with the new DX11 patch? I know with steam its automatic, but not sure how GFWL works.
Do i download it from a random site on the internet or does GFWL also use automatic updates?
Many thanks.

Eh, most superhero games last generation rewarded you with different skins throughout the game.
More 'issues'!
I've activated my Robin DLC code, but theres nothing on the main menu to say i can use him?
Also, regarding Catwoman, the GFWL booklet that came with the game its says 'to unlock Catwoman as a playable character you must activate the pass card included with the game.' As i didn't receive a pass card am i correct in thinking she unlocks after you finish the game? Theres no option when you go to downloadable content for Catwoman, so i asume she's already in the PC version?
Thanks again!

By main menu do you mean the riddler challenge maps? As thats the only place you can use him currently.
As for the Catwoman thing not sure how it works on PC but on the consoles it would ask you as you started the game if you have a code which you got as a separate card in the box as the first misson in the game is a Catwoman one..
Did your Robin code come with the game?

My Robin code came with the game on a separate sheet of 'paper'. If you can only use Robin on the riddler challenge maps then that answers my question, as i asumed you could use him during the single player campaign.
I didn't get a separate catwoman sheet of 'paper' with a code on it, not sure how it works with her. I 'think' i need to finish her bit at the start of the game and then i'll be given at option at certain points to control her instead of Batman.

It's basically built off the Batman: The Animated Series universe, so presumably some time in the 1990s when the show was airing.
No it's not. It just happens to use a lot of the same voice actors and has one of the main writers on board. It has nothing to do with the TAS universe.
Wow. The counter icons aren't turned off on the highest difficulty this time around?
Any way to do this on the PC version?
It's easy enough to imagine they do however. Not a lot of contradictions and for me personally it makes the games much more special since most of the little touches of the Batman universe did make it into TAS.

They're turned off in NG+, which is the "true" hard mode in this game.
They are on the first time because of certain moments where you need them for player input, such as in the introWow. The counter icons aren't turned off on the highest difficulty this time around?

Except the actual world doesn't really feel very Art Deco to me, which was more of what TAS was going for. This is more gothic (the gargoyles give it away), so I think more like the Burton films or something.

I asked before about the costume pack and steam version, but since the game uses GFW is it possible to buy the pack with MS points and use on steam? Obviously buying through steam would be preferable for compatibility, but i have some points lying around.

Did you get it in game or on Xbox.com? Also, how do you use the costumes?
Asylum has the same kind of QTEs that work just fine with the counter highlights turned off. Just seems lazy. I really hate the look of them. Much rather just pay attention to the animations.
Should have copied your save file over to a flash drive just in case.
I did make a backup a while back thanks to an earlier warning from a gaffer, so not everything is lost. I do have to get some of the medals and riddler trophies all over again though. I don't mind replaying em again, but WB seriously needs to find a fix for this.
I played AA like 4 times, so remind me where there were QTEs to begin with. All the boss fights were Titans with the exception of Ivy. Also, if you got caught by Ivy's vines you had to tap A/space/jump. The button prompt came up yes, but there wasn't anything AFAIK you had to "counter" as part of a QTE (literally hitting the counter button).
Insane inmates also had the button prompt flash come up when you first encountered them.
If you mean just remove the counter "flash" and just occasionally pop the button prompt then yes I guess that is reasonable but other than those above I really can't think of a QTE in AA that required you to mash your counter button.

No. You have to do the Sidequests again towards 100% but if you already got 400/400 you're good.

Does the DLC (Catwomen, Robin, Nightwing etc) count towards the % total completed?

Used a point-card I found in an old pair of jeans to buy the Robin and Nightwing DLC (already had Catwoman).
Looking forward to spending Sunday breaking some faces with the two Robins.
