Finishers.
They're just environmental takedowns essentially, but specific to oracle and the gcpd roof.

If you get close to the fences and various pipes the object and person nearest will light up blue and you can do an instant takedown. X and Square on Ps4 i believe.
Aww come on, they're fun distractions!

I'm sure Rocksteady at this point doesn't want to see Batman ever again, cool as he is. They have been doing all these games for what, close to 7 years?
I really hope they tackle TMNT next.

Am i the only one who feels like the enemies are a lot more passive and slower to attack compared to the previous games? I play all the Batman games on hard.

Took me a while too.
I had to look up how to slide. This was, as far as I know, the only instance it's required, and you do it differently than previous games.
For those who don't know, just tap l2, not a hold as in that past games.

Oh my God, I've been stuck on that riddle since the beginning of times! Thanks, man!
This battle near the end is breaking my spirit.
Any tips?
GCPD parking garage fight. Flashing red lights are making me sick. Can't tell who's who if I stick to detective mode. Guys with stun sticks keep killing me. My armor is fully upgraded and I'm making use of the Batmobile takedown shots...
Maybe sure you take out the biggest guys with the environmental takedowns first before trying to take down anyone else.
Just keep dashing to an environmental takedown location until the prompt appears on one of the more powerful enemies.
EDIT:
Wait, I thought you mean the
rooftop

I had a bit of trouble with this, retried a few times until I noticed the batmobile was right there, begging to be got into...

Any chance that Rocksteady might allow a patch for players to option back the old gadget format from Asylum and City? I hate the new radial format. It really takes you out of the mood and disrupts the flow in predator challenges.

I don't remember that part of the game.
Yeah, it really impact the flow of the predator sequences for me.
The amount of times I've pulled out the mission selection menu trying to select a gadget, man, so annoying.
I don't know what they could do.
I just face-palmed myself so hard. I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think of that. I even acknowledged the Batmobile was helping me with the takedowns. It never even occurred to me to go inside the Batmobile. XD

My God, the sheer enormity of the sidequests is staggering and I'm debating just spoiling myself on the other endings via Youtube.
They could have cut down the firefighters/roadblocks/tower missions by half and there still would have been too many of them. I still haven't even scratched the surface of the Riddler trophies!

The primary villains of this game are definitely better than just Joker in Asylum and Ra's/Joker/Strange in City.
Arkham Knight and Scarecrow along with
feel like far more dangerous and effective villains than the previous ones.

Oh, yeah, I had the same reaction. Lol
Good luck on the next bit, by the way. I hated it and spent almost 2 hours retrying over and over. Persevere!

I'm no game developer, so what would it require to remap the control scheme? I know alot of flack is coming from the PC crowd, but I have to assume there are alot of people annoyed by this. Bioware was forced to do a mea culpa after the Mass Effect 3 fiasco by offering a dlc ending, iirc.

Having almost gotten to the end of the game, I think a lot of complaints were completely overblown. I'm really enjoying this one.

So is the bit in
the bit that everyone hates? I found it fine. Maybe it's because I've done all the available
but I actually quite enjoyed it.

I fully understood the tank complaint by the end. You know the fight.

I literally beat that on my first try on hard mode, and it was super intense and fun. I died at the actual boss fight after what seemed like forever, but then I realized I was approaching it the wrong was and immediately beat it lol. That was the moment that convinced me that people who don't like the Batmobile aren't bothering to try to get good with it.
None of this stuff is any more annoying that harder predator sequences (stuck on a hard one right now), just different.

I think I'm around the end. Had to lower difficulty from normal to easy so I didn't throw my controller against the wall on some parts. I wish there weren't so many upgrades. I don't know where to spend my points and I don't use any of the moves. Bleh. I think they made the game more complex than it needed to be. Overall I give it a 3 out of 5.

Oh man, congrats to you, I was a full tank supporter up until then. Loved the ar challenges and the virus uploads, but that fight was just too much. Eventually just upgraded my last armor during the middle for that HP boost, and went all out on the final phase. Satisfying finally winning though.

It's always been this way, they give you more tools than you need, but you've always been able to get away with just utilizing the ones you use personally. I don't think I've ever touched a destructible wall to use for takedowns in predator or used explosive gel mid combat in any Arkham games.
Nah, fuck that excuse. I was fully competent in its combat through the entire game and still hated it.

Does this game block recording and screenshots during cutscenes? I'm going to be annoyed if that recording has been blocked/unblocked notification pops up every time I enter a cutscene.

Not every time. Only in one stretch, during a particularly revealing segment.

Only ones that come to mind are the scenes preceding and encompassing the last story mission in the game. There might have been 1-2 more I'm not remembering.

I thought the
fight along with all the stealth
sections were pretty easy.
I had the upgraded Batmobile weapon that distracted enemies by firing it. So I just fired it at a wall, dodged behind them and took them out. Upgrade made it ridiculously easy.
The
fight is a joke too in difficulty once you realize that you aren't constrained to a small area. So you just shoot him once and book it so far way that he simply can't catch up to you.

It may be restricting, but I couldn't help but get excited when I saw the "this scene is blocked" message on-screen. It's like a hype delivery machine. And it delivered.
Haha alright well thank you, either way.

UGGGHHH. F these riddler trophies. 243 really? 100 would have been more than enough.
No reason vent animations should feel so good, but Rocksteady's animation team and presentation goes above and beyond in every aspect.
I was wondering if I was the only one that REALLY loves these. So good.

I believe you. After 73 percent completion of the whole game, I'm convinced much of the hate is overblown considerably. The only weak point has been the straight-up drone combat when it's drawn out, particularly during those bomb diffusing sequences the cobra drone fights are actually intense and interesting in that they require some tactics. I read a reviewer talking about how infuriating the car-stealth sequences were. Upon playing them, all I could this was "that's it?" I completely understand why some might think people complaining about the tank segments just suck at them going by that review.
It's a distraction at worst, and it's a bit baffling to see it be a notable hangup for people. There are a lot of predator sequences in this game, even more than in Asylum, and there's definitely no shortage of straight-up fights, especially if you indulge in the side missions. There's been no tank part that seems like a brick wall worthy of note. Getting three stars in the AR challenge, sure, but nothing in the main game.
