Ahhh thanks.
Question about 100% stuff.
Once I activate the Knightfall Protocol, is that like a no going back thing? I still have the watchtowers, bombs, and Riddler to finish up, and I want to get 100%. But I want to see this ending.

You'll get the partial ending, then be sent right back to the post game where you'll be prompted to get 100% so you can activate the full Knightfall Protocol.
I'm restarting the game on PS4 now after having played a couple of hours on PC.
First of all it's so pretty and smooth.....
Second thing, it's really annoying that you can't switch the batmobile setting to toggle until you played a fair bit of the game. Having to hold that button is so annoying.

Mr. Burns must've moved to Gotham, because it's day/night cycle is severely fucked up. This is the longest night in the history of mankind.
Still loving it though. Thanks for the heads up.

I know it's difficult to summarize 115 pages of GAF impressions, but...what's the general consensus on the game?
I caved and ended up buying it because I managed to sell inFamous Second Son and some pet-related items for $35 dollars, and didn't feel like trickling the cash away on coffee or other such random things...so I put it towards the Special Edition Steelbook.
I'm not a huge fan of steelbooks, but this one is admittedly quite gorgeous.
Still need to install the game, but probably won't get around to it until I at least play a bit more of The Witcher.
So what say you, GAF? Will I regret my decision? I was a huge fan of Arkham Asylum, but thought City was a bit of a step down. Origins was okay; I liked the story in Origins more than I did City.
If anything, I want to play this for the apparently gorgeous visuals.

Isn't there a checkpoint
after you destroy the 4 canisters? The part after that is not difficult at all if you powered up the batmobile to max health, you just get in front of the thing and spam bullets and missiles at the glowing part and you'll destroy it with a tiny bit of energy of left.
I was just as annoyed with it as most people were until I realized how much time I wasted trying to do stealth when it wasn't necessary at all.

Everyone agrees it's a good game. It's split about 50/50 on Batmobile and it's usage in the game. Everyone agrees you could see and people did see some reveals coming months before release. Some that lowered their love of the game and some were like meh it's ok.
Overall though if you liked the other games you should like this game.

My roommate was watching me play earlier tonight, and I was doing a chase sequence and he literally said "Are you playing Burnout in the Batmobile?" It's so awesome, probably my favorite part of the game. Just wish they'd focused more on that aspect of the Batmobile and less of the tank stuff.

Oh and wanted to say that I agree without a doubt. I hated it with a passion and also wasn't a fan of
the excavator fight either

So does Lucius Fox have people working at Wayne Enterprises inventing things during all of this? Did they invent like 8 new things in a single night? Is he doing it all himself?

How do you connect the bridge to Founder's Island? Linked with main story? I'm at the part
after Poison Ivy reinforce the ancient plant.

Interesting. It turns out that yes there is indeed a checkpoint after what you mentioned. However, it appears to be glitchy since it didn't register until the third time for me.

Thats appears to be the case. If you recall in Batman Begins he synthesized an antidote for Scarecrow in a night.
Yeah, not possible.
Okay so I was grappling around the city and when I was standing in front of the bridge it randomly decided to show me the cutscene for next part so I guess its working now. That was a weird glitch.
Armoured humvees/APCs are manned, so you need to be in driving/pursuit mode to KO them. You use the immobilizer/rocket launcher. You just chase after them and lock on and take a few hits at them to knock them out for it to count. Tank mode is useless for that.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Ive been stuck on that part for a few days now. Screw it.
Just finished it. Overall I have a lot of mixed thoughts on it. Better than City (which I didn't like) but way worse than Asylum.
Also, did anyone have a hard time getting the combat to really click with them? I feel like with both this and City they added so many extra unnecessary layers to it that just hurts your momentum and constantly trips me up, especially having to remember the different types of two button presses for each scenario. Less could be more in this case.
Batmobile was fun at first but there weren't enough pursuit sections. All of the tank sections were forgettable and borderline frustrating.
WAY too much
in this game. Overstayed his welcome and I was so tired of all his scenes by the end.

Why the fuck are there so many tank battles in this game

yeah, the combat was tweaked in ways that were completely unnecessary. The removal of the batswarm just absolutely SUCKED. Not having that made almost every encounter more difficult. Especially since there were more enemies.

I'm stuck on this part now
So fucking frustrating. I've been really happy with this game until now and holy shit is this part terrible!I'm fucking done for the night, I can't do this. God, fuck this game, fuck the tank.
Can't believe I spent $60 on PSN for this. City was so much better. I'm legit pissed off I wasted so much money on this instead of Witcher 3.
At this point I'm just pushing to beat it because I'm close and want my money's worth. But Battlefield: Arkham gets a 5/10 from me.

Nice to see. I am not the only one who hates them.
What sucks is that I was starting to sort of like the battank sections, but that battle.....just ridiculous.

Just beat it. Loved it. Great game.
Batmobile battle mode, press up on the d-pad for a sonar/detective type mode. They don't open, but prompt a path of green question marks in the area for you to follow.

I'd say like about 75%, but I don't need to say, cause the game has a percentage on the mission wheel. :]

No, that was one upgrade I hadn't acquired.
Prior to the battle towards the end that everyone is bitching about, I actually liked the Cobra encounters quite a bit. I felt it was fun playing a little cat and mouse with them and pretty easily dominated them.
That all went to shit with that final encounter.
I have to say that I seriously pity anybody who attempts to do that last part of the game without upgrading their tank.

At first I loved the batmobile, then I HATED it because it was too hard to use. Then I realized I just sucked and eventually got better at it. Battlemode is MUCH better than the actual driving mechanics.

I feel that Arkham Knight needed another year of development. I am glad that they delayed it for 6 months, but I feel that WB pressured them into releasing the game, which meant they had to cut corners and literally have a single button press to defeated some of the side villians.
The game is still amazing though, but apart from the main story and about 4 side quests. The game feels empty

Awful segment. I didn't like how they just resorted to throwing insane amounts of drones at you in the last third of the game. Not fun at all. Same goes for the melee combat sections with the annoying medics, shock guys, shield guys, and big giant meathead dudes.
Really enjoyed the two boss encounters
. I think I may be in the minority here. I love the Battank too, though.
Those reveals of
felt quite flat, the story in this game isn't very effective. The moment to moment stuff is great, but overall it lacks impact.
I wonder how I'll feel about this at the end...
(cloudburst and excavator)
Those reveals of
Jason and Barbera
I wonder how I'll feel about this at the end...
Though, if you don't like tank battles.
You are going to HATE the last one in the story.
I'm loving this game, but yeah, the tank sections are just so boring. I LOVE driving the Batmobile around the city, the controls for that are fantastic and it's great, but then once you get into tank mode it all falls apart.
I see no scenario where that could have been very fun gameplay anyway, and I don't mind it every know and then but they shoehorn it in so much that it just becomes ridiculous.
Still, I'm enjoying my time with the game very much. I'll do every mission but I don't know if I can do all of these Riddler challenges lol

Finished the
cloudburst drone/tank fight earlier, my god what a bunch of bullshit. It's so hard to get away that quickly, what were they thinking? It's not even a remotely fun or smartly designed boss fight. Really my least favorite part of the game so far.
Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight never really felt like huge threats to me. The overall conflict doesn't come off as grand as they think it should be.

There's a long way to go, and a lot more drone fights, and you haven't even hit the worst Batmobile boss fight. You ain't seen nothing yet.
I genuinely don't know if I can bring myself to finish this game and I have NEVER done that before, it's just such a fucking chore to play.
