General rule of thumb is they can't see you. You can't activate it from the front, or in view of others. And you can only activate it the same way you would a regular takedown.
Yeah I loved that as well. Also,

I was coming in here to post the same thing. It's the one aspect of combat that I just can't get right 100% of the time, and this AR challenge where you have to do 2 of them, kill the medic last, and don't take damage is taking me forever because the Fear Takedown prompt is so random.
Yo that challenge took me forever.
I found trial and error will allow you to plan your moves and you gotta execute them as fast as possible; you don't wanna let the medic revive anyone and use him as your last victim in your second fear takedown.

Think of it has more of a rythum. You don't need to hit the attack button a bunch of times on one enemy unless it is a beatdown. Take you time, press a direction towards an enemy and attack, you will get into a groove and start anticipating when the other enemies are starting their other attacks and counter. Practice in an AR room or just on mobs in the street. When you master that, you can move onto quick gadgets.
Not a high combo, but a simple freeflow with a lot of style...

Question. For someone who's never played (and unlikely ever will) the previous Batman Arkham games is this something I can buy and get into or do I need previous knowledge..? Will it make a huge difference not knowing stuff going in? I loved Infamous Second Son and this looks like a fun bad ass game quite like that.
It looks stunning and as long as it's fun I think I'll get it, just wanting to check though... CHEERS GAF! Does the main campaign and side missions take quite a while to complete?

I miss the challenge rooms. 
DLC pack with them coming? Wish it wasn't so, but that is a big part of the Arkham games.

There's literally nothing there, when I activate the Forensic Scanner in front of the Riddler thing, that is using the Forensic Scanner. I'm too tired now, so I'll probably watch a video tomorrow.
Welp, I literally forgot I had this. I feel at this point the games might have way too many gadgets and techniques to keep track of and use effectively.

Question marks should appear on the floor or on the walls

I just beat it in 1:00.62 loooooool
It should've actually been like 57 seconds, but the clock doesn't stop right away. My 2nd Fear Takedown was on the last guy and the medic while they were on the floor underneath me. I didn't even know you could do takedowns like that.

That's so Batman to me though.....A bunch of cool stuff that can be used in a lot of different ways.

I'm sure the movies got a slight bump in sales cause of this game. I already own all the Batman movies, old and new. Probably my favorite Superhero.

How does one do this? Does it need to be unlocked as well?
Thanks.
I am very much enjoying the game so far. I also have an appreciation of what Rocksteady was able to achieve on the PS4 but at the same time I do feel for all the PC players out there. It truly sucks how awful of a port that it is. With all that said I am only 11% in. Truth be told I only beat Arkham Asylum. All of the other games in the series I played to around 60% and lost interest. I am feeling like the same thing can possibly happen with this game, but we will see. I can say with the utmost of certainty I will never 100% the game. Just no way that is happening. And that is okay with me.

The combat AR challenges are a good place to practice since there's no penalty excpet having to restart if you mess up...also opening up more and more combat skills and special takedowns is helpful to mix things up

I had a hard time with them at first. Each pulse will illuminate Riddler question marks. However they have to be done in order so you need to take it slow and easy and follow the trail.
Press L3 while gliding.

Do more riddler stuff appear after you
free Catwoman?
Okay.
These last two Batmobile (Boss Spoilers)
fights have got to be some of the most non-fun, poorly designed and ill conceived boss fights I've ever had the displeasure of playing. I enjoy the Batmobile, but holy shit these sequences have sucked all the joy out of it.

Holy crap how did I miss this haha it makes battles way more fun.
My combat ability in these things comes from memorization of the types combined with taking them out in a certain order.
Man,
screw the Riddler. I don't know why I thought he'd actually fight me after that instead of that whole "Yo I'm only gonna fight you if you basically 100% the game."

60% story spoiler
Harley Quinn's voice actress sounds so much like Yael Stone from Orange in the New Black
I'm stuck. I'm maybe 75% through the main story? It's where
locks you out of the theater.
Anyways,
Maybe this is a bug and I have to reload?
edit: figure it out. definitely seems bugged because you can't grapple up to one of the enemies at that point so what I did was
. Just in case anyone else has this issue.

Anyways,
You have to find the 3 Joker infected people or whatever. The last one I need to get is the big dude. I fight him and he's knocked out but theres some other enemies up higher and they just throw stuff at Batman and I can't get up there or do anything with them.
edit: figure it out. definitely seems bugged because you can't grapple up to one of the enemies at that point so what I did was
switched to Robin and used his zip kick or whatever to take that guy out

Just finished everything there is to do except the Riddler stuff, which I'm going to do now, and here's what I thought of it:
+ Playground is bigger, better, more detailed and could look absolutely beautiful (were it not for PC texture loading issues and the Normal Textures cap).
+ I already loved gliding in Arkham City, but damn it's really expanded in Arkham Knight. I've glided a looooooooot and it never got old. Jump in the Batmobile and wooosh, into the sky.
+ Extra gadgets and stuff to take out enemies and plan your attacks.
+
hallucinations, those were fucking great. Every single one of them.
+ Scarecrow in general. I loved him in Asylum and it felt good to see he was still a force to be reckoned with. He came back hard.
+/- Not sure if I liked the Fear Takedowns. They looked cool but they always gave your position away afterwards like a knock-out smash, which means it isn't the best option if you want to completely predator stealth yourself through a section.
+/- I liked the Batmobile, gave it a fresh twist on the Arkham City gameplay, but sometimes they really forced it and shoved it down our throats. So I'm not sure what to think of it. I suppose it was okay.
- Very underwhelming story. At first I thought ALL the big villains were working TOGETHER to hunt down Batman, while in fact
.
- The Arkham Knight's identity has been painfully obvious somewhat half-way through, the part where Batman suddenly sees a lot of
hallucinations, which made the reveal much less interesting.
- I really disliked the "super gritty" redesigns in Arkham Knight, I much rather preferred the "comic book realistic" designs from Asylum and City. I specifically disliked the redesigns of Riddler, Ivy and (don't shoot me) Scarecrow.
- Most of the side quests were very uninteresting, apart from that
side quest.
- You're forced into doing some of the stupid collectible side quest to commence
, the game's ending.
- And of course, last but not least, the dreadful first three hours of the PC port. Afterwards it somehow ran better, much better. Ended up playing for 28 hours.
In any rate, it's a very worthy final chapter to the Rocksteady Arkham series, but City is still my favourite, closely followed by Asylum and Knight at a respectable distance.

it's pretty much everyone for themselves and the majority you can knock-out during their little side quests

Are you kidding me. I was glancing at one of the billboards from across a rooftop
Yooooooooooooooooo those after affects. Fucking Rocksteady.
O_O
It had jokers face on it.
I'm like what? I go over to it and it's not there anymore. It turned back into regular ad! Something about fanus after shave get exposed. Before it said fear toxins get exposed. And it had his face there.

You can use Detective Mode to see where the chatter is coming from while they're still talking.
Nice. I'm in line with most of this. Great game though.
I'm playing on PS4 and will play again once the pc version is up to par.
Aside, for some reason I still like the UI in Asylum the best. Maybe its the comic book look and feel of it all.
