you have to bounce off the walls and hit them in succession without touching the ground.
basically find a high vantage point, glide to the one that is higher on the wall, it will light up then bounce off the wall with a button press as prompted glide across to any other plates and repeat that button press to glide off the wall again and finally land on the one that is typically situated somewhere on the ground next to the actual trophy.

For those curious, it's not a peel off sticker for the NOS code, you have to actually buy one. And my god is this shit disgusting, the things I do for anything Batman related.

just played couple hours last night started in hard. man i got my ass kicked. so i went to the challenge maps to hone my skills and picked robin. wow, i didn't expect robin's combat to be so different. love his counters and double kick take downs. some of his moves are really slick. though now hearing the guy who sold his robin for $24 on ebay, maybe i couldve done the same lol.
this game is freaking awesome. so much content here. i love games that really match the worth of $60 and beyond. this game is just that, and doing it all in single player. i've questioned how they are going to top AA but they did it. i have no doubt they will do it again. though the only way to top this will have to be online coop. either as batman + robin, knightwing, catwoman, or batgirl.

Goddammit, I started the game while it downloaded, since I assumed it was optional side shit instead of integrated into the story. God DAMN it.
Awesome news indeed.I'm four hours in, playing on hard and taking it slow, but did they really leave in the counter reversal notification when playing on the highest setting? I liked not seeing it in AA.
Also, the hand holding this late into the game is beyond unnecessary. I understand how to run and climb; I know to hold X to glide; I can figure puzzles out on my own! How do I turn this type of shit off?

Do the random thugs respawn throughout the map? I took out a bunch near Joker's hideout, and it's so quiet there now. Even when I went to the other side of the map and back, there was no one there.
(I guess maybe it's to prevent farming goons for XP, but I don't want to clear the city out.)

Beat the game once. You can use them in challenge maps. I see no option to change the difficulty in the options.Cheska said:

Here is a video of the wings in action.Carbonox_Ratchet said:Sorry, I meant, when you glide with this skin, does his red wings pop out like this:
Or does the standard Batman cape pop out (which obviously isn't part of the Batman Beyond character).

Played the catwoman missions. Totally disappointing. What the hell was that? Really short...felt like a cheap DLC.
Good: You can free-roam with her after finishing the main story. And combat is also great.

Nope, I got the game a lot earlier. If anything I was a bit slow, so much things to do in the game!Mindman said:

holy shit i love the slide takedowns!
from a ledge, and when the bat sign comes up on a thug, press x to initiate the takedown.. but instead of gliding, dive towards the thug and batman will do a "slide" takedown and it's awesome.

Catwoman stuff makes sense to me to be in the beginning. It explains why Batman has to find her to get info on what is going on in the city. She has been there longer then him and knows about the different factions inside the city.

I finished the game a couple hours ago. I'm currently doing the side quests now. I loved the game. Definitely better than Arkham Asylum. I really liked all the thugs dialogs. Their reactions to things going on in the story. Nice touch. I have a few questions about the last quarter of the game.
I really liked the clay face reveal, but what was the point of it? The joker had the cure to begin with, why didn't he take it? Why pretend he took it?

I've been playing a lot but I'm only 49% percent in the main story apparently.
Dang.

Sure, but I feel like the game would be better without that first Catwoman scene. It's super brief and it's bad for the pacing of the game's opening.keltickennedy said:

Is there any way to reenter the steel mill? I missed a few things in there and I can't find a way back in.

It depends how far in the game you are, but here's my list:Anabuhabkuss said:
strike
counter
dodge roll
cape stun
combo takedown
combo bat swarm
combo multi-ground takedown
combo weapon destroy
batarang
batclaw
explosive gel
lightning charge
freeze grenade
jump attack*
The * denotes thing that I'm not sure if they are included in a variation bonus. They are both followups to stunning the target, beat down being mash the strike button and jump attack being jump over a stunned target. There's also a variety of interesting moves you can perform as initiators from high places that I don't think count either.
I actually like it from a gameplay perspective because they occupy less of the screen than his bigass cape does.DrBo42 said:

I wasn't crazy about the pacing in the opening anyway. Seemed like a lot of crap happening really quickly. I prefer a more measured approach.

I would prefer something somewhere between the opening of Arkham Asylum (which was like 9 minutes of dawdling through the front door of the Asylum) and the opening of AC (which was like 5 minutes of HOLY FUCK). I kind of wish there had been a bit more of a recap built into the game of the shit that was apparently in the comics explaining the origins of Arkham City in Gotham.TangoAlphaLima said:
