Don't floor the right trigger. They're pretty easy if you're not going max speed.

Holy shit, I just managed to get 65'500 points on the Slumdog Billionaire AR Challenge. Anyone who's played it will know how much of a bitch it is.

Nice job pairing the open spoiler with a creepy comment lol. Thanks bruh.
But anyway outside of the major spoilers, I think Harley is barely in this game because they realized Tara Strong sucks at doing her voice.

Just finished everything and got the Knightfall protocol with 100% completion.
I can't wait for Rocksteady's next game. Probably won't be Batman (or JL since for the same reason) but Nightwing would be GOAT.
Batman faking his death seemed like the obvious conclusion to that, there was no way he could live as Bruce Wayne the rest of his life, not to mention all the legal crap and the threats and everything that would head his way. The extra part with the fake Waynes was weird AF, I'm guessing the thugs were injected with fear gas somehow?
Shit, sorry, messed up the spoiler tag.
Also, my comment was a joke. It felt pretty uncomfortable for me and I really wasn't expecting it.

Haha I figured. It's cool, honest mistake 😁
About halfway through. I am at a point where I feel like the Batmobile IS used too much, but I don't personally mind since it's so fun to use. But, yeah, I get why some people are disappointed. If I had played the other Arkham games, I would probably be somewhat disappointed.
So between the bunch of Queen Industries easter eggs in Origins and Blackgate, the Queen Industries Gotham HQ being in this game, a board member of QI being a character of note in this game, and Jack Rider
We're totally getting a Green Arrow game from WB to cash in on the fanbase Arrow has built up right? I'd love to play an Arkham style game for Green Arrow. Please don't be empty hype leading to nothing and disappointment like the Suicide Squad teases
talking about the opening of Q-Core and that the guy in charge must be a "real sharp shooter"

Is it me, or does the combat not feel as smooth as in the previous games? I can't put my finger on it, but things don't seem to flow as well, and my combos are broken much easier now. Maybe I just need more practice, but it definitely feels a bit off to me.

I'd say it's the opposite if anything. Counter times are really lenient now.

Don't click unless you're about halfway through the main story.

The Joker shows up on random buildings and areas just to say a few words, and even now shows up as a random bully when in fights.

Wow. Just wow. It's so complete and utterly obvious that Rocksteady didn't bother to playtest the sequences involving the batmobile that take place at the end of the game.

I'm past the point of getting upset. I am just shaking my head and laughing because I am just in complete and utter disbelief at how badly designed these encounters are. It's just wonderful having to navigate these tunnels with all these obstacles with this big ass light blocking your view so you can't see the obstacles.
Wow. Rocksteady just wow.
just now got to the excavator fight

Okay, question. I'm stuck on the last Riddler trial

But when do I get it, and how specifically?
Riddler room
I when try to enter the room, Riddler stops me and says I'm not prepared and makes a reference to electricity
a gizmo I get further on in the story, probably the electric thingy in the GCPD evidence room.

I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying the Batmobile stuff, I went in expecting to hate it and while it has it's problems it's still really fun.
You get it in the story mode eventually, but you can go straight to the GCPD evidence room and get it whenever you want by breaking the glass.
It's not. The game's magnetism toward enemies is off and you often end up attacking immune thugs even when there's a normal enemy right next to them. It needs some tweaking. Nowhere near as bad as Origins but not as tight as Asylum and City.

No it's not just you. I find my combos end up broken far more often than they ever did in the previous games. The counter windows are a tad smaller than they were in AC. The camara is a bit more cramped and far too often it will adjust itself to a running thug which can disrupt your flow. Removing the batswarm changed everything for me.

You can grab it at any time by breaking the glass and taking it.
Aren't all of Green Arrow's villains part of Batman's rogues gallery? Wouldn't we just end up playing another Arkham game?
Just keep playing story. It will lead you there eventually
Although if you look hard enough..... You can get it earlier I believe

I always ask people this when they say they like the batmobile:
How far are you into the game? If you're not more 74% done then just wait. You just wait. We shall see if you are still singing that tune then.

GCPD
Multiple people have told you that you can, why ask if you really can instead of just trying it yourself?
There is a prompt later in the game when it becomes necessary for the story. Getting it early is just a nice hidden perk.
I really didn't have an issue with that section at all...You can even drive down the path to see what you need to do before he "finds" you

It's just that games don't usually let you acquire things like this early, as it's often tied to points in the story. I was just surprised is all.
Arkham games give you all the items from the beginning on NG+. They're designed around players being able to have items early and stop unnecessary sequence breaking as a result.
They picked the wrong Breaking Bad actor to voice Gordon.
was awesome.
tbh I didn't think Cranston was all that good in Batman: Year One but he certainly suits the character more than Banks
I am vengeance!
I'll lay off the gas more I suppose.
Feel like the screen just gets too noisy sometimes with all the debris and the neon lights.
I don't really get the bat mobile hate. I thought it was a lot of fun throughout the game the only time I ever had a problem with it was the
I actually enjoyed the cat and mouse parts, I found it a lot of fun to switch between being a tank for maneuverability and a car for speed. I do agree that there was an over reliance on the bat mobile though.
defense of the GCPD building.
Yeah, this too. Can't believe I'm saying it, but Conroy is getting a bit tiresome and also seems out of place here too. Specifically, the lines he says when he breaks the guy's arm in the beginning seem mismatched with his performance.
Craig Smith's performance from AO might be more appropriate here I think.
EDIT: ^Actually scracth that. Dude sounded waaayyyy younger than i remember.
That section was awful, until I realized that you can actually back out into the alley way to the left of the entrance and funnel in enemies 1-2 at a time. It was slower but it made it incredibly easy.
But it wasn't bad.
I've heard him do it better.
Just 100% the game. My take:
Presentation - 10/10
- Visuals (graphics, character models, rain and lightning effects) and audio are top notch. Gotham City is beautiful with tons of easter eggs. Perhaps the only game with insane detail both vertically and on the streets.
Gameplay - 10/10
- Lots of variety with predator, freeflow, environmental puzzles and Batmobile that mesh incredibly well. I know a lot of people have gripes with the car but after a couple hours I could handle it pretty well and loved it. Also didn't mind the "tank stealth" sections since it actually involved looking at the radar and approaching combat differently.
Story - 8/10
- The weakest part of the game for me. Starts out really well but kinda starts to disappoint with the predictable AK reveal and sort of generic ending. It really shows that Dini wasn't involved this time.
Overall - 9/10
- At this point I'm still kinda torn which Arkham game I like the best. AC is still my favorite cause of that replay value but that could change in the future with AK.

I've just helped protect Ivy's plants at the Botanical Gardens and beat the Arkham Knight tank battle, after going into the tunnels and bringing the long lost tree back to life.

There are riddler trophies/puzzles that require the sonar from the batmobile
I follow the trail and always hit a dead end (usually a wall)
Any tips?
Also im just collecting riddler trophies, but it seems that there is a weapon in my weapon wheel that is missing? top left side. did i miss something?
