Oh my that driving.

Oh yeah, no, I don't think you can position yourself to have him not see where you hit him from. You just need to boost away and try not to hit anything. I did a lot of the APC Pursuit missions beforehand so I got lots of practice in but I can see how it would be frustrating.
yeah that's my frantic driving down a tunnel I didn't think he could go down and having no place to turn since it's A TUNNEL.

You can't strategize, you have no time to flee, you can't drive and you can't dodge attacks = you're screwed.
There's only one option here. Why get indignant when someone states the truth?

you can't seem to understand frustration and bitching about a part of a game. I've played hundreds of games to completion. I'm not giving up, I'm venting.

Fuck the Riddler events. Fuck everything about them, they are horrible, and slowly kill what joy the game has for me.

Gah it is so frustrating when the game locks up! I've had it happen to me 3 times so far on XB1. Latest time I was in the middle of a mission and brought up the upgrade menu, which of course caused the game to shit the bed. At least the checkpoints are usually forgiving.

I'm sorry but that was absolutely hilarious. Don't drink and drive the batmobile.

It looks like you're going to stay here all night and try and convince everyone that the batmobile is the greatest thing ever.
You gotta admit that clip was pretty damn funny.
seriously the driving controls in this game just suck. It's like driving on ice while drunk

But yeah, try first person and predator awareness. I had the same issues you did, but I almost always escaped, just not without damage.
after I finally got the 4 vents, the second fight took two tries - 1st was just to figure out what to do. Done.

Dude has tossed aside every bit of advice given to him all night, and just wants to vent. Are we not supposed to reply to him?
I kinda want to discuss the game, including the Batmobile, and it's all anyone seems to want to talk about.

Well, this isn't Spring-Loaded's thread. If you find what he's posting so heinous that the best you can come up with is "You're screwed, just give up" maybe reevaluate why you feel the need to respond to him rather than everybody else.

Have you ever played a game with a car in it before?

Your advice for that fight is to revert the controls back to where you have to hold R2 to stay in tank mode and turn off predator awareness.

Yes sir.
And the other advice to pay attention to the radar, then attack.
There's not much to the fight beside knowing how to drive. If that's not possible, what else is there to say?
JohnnyFootball

Yes and I mostly hate them, which is why I don't own games like Twisted Metal Forza, Turismo. GTA games are an exception since I can use Franklins ability.

Remove the tank sessions from the game and it's easily 10/10 but instead it's a 7.5 for me.

City's main screen theme was incredible. There was nothing close to that in AK unfortunately.

I think what's there is fine, but yeah, it's mixed too low in most cases. Origins and (especially) City generally blare their music - most notably in predator encounters after Batman takes down the first enemy. Just the way I like it.
Loading up AK for the first time and seeing the main menu gave me a rush of disappointment. I love the game, but the title screen isn't a quarter as good as City's, which has to be one of the best ever. Fuck tanks and AR challenges, this is the real problem right here.

I may never finish this game. I'm near the end and I keep trying but I can't play it for more than 30 minutes without losing interest.
Arkham City Theme
Arkham Origins Theme
Both pretty fantastic. Knight's soundtrack is just a quieter, less bombastic version of City's.
And yeah Knight's title screen is a total snooze compared to City.

This was Origins' title screen theme, actually. Though the main theme you posted is also incredible

I don't mind AK's main menu (though the all the other menu being contextualized, rather than some abstract posing, was great) or its theme and didn't want to directly compare it to previous games, but it is a bit basic.
Even still, no themes in the game stood out to be whatsoever, which was weird after the previous games were pretty strong in that regard.

I can only recall what basically serves as the Batmobile theme. Think they threw in Arkham City's main theme somewhere.

Yeah, I replayed City just before Knight and definitely noticed some very similar tracks during the predator sections. The old composer was co-credited for the soundtrack, I don't know if that was that because he made new music or because they reused his themes.
I'm almost sure this track is in the game in some form:

"Invasion" sounds more like a more interesting remix of the AC main theme anyway.

There was one spot where it happened to me over and over again. I had to mash the grapple button. About the 4th time it happened I got luck and was able to grapple out. I then went and collected a random trophy to force the game to save at a new spot. Seemed to clear it up.
i got back up but everything was empty and the the texture turned super low quality
i actually was able to glide under the map to the city area outside of gotham

Is this on the PC version?

This track from City also played for me during the final firefighter rescue mission (predator encounter). Arkham Knight probably has a great OST, but it's often mixed too low to stand out, I think. Maybe it's tweakable in options. City's went loud and heavy.

You know what is funny bout this? When I was at this part and did this same thing, the hilarious thing is that the tank never, and I mean NEVER followed me in the tunnel. It would try to shoot me in the tunnel, but then just turns around and drives around the street trying to follow me.
This happened to me. Everything turned extremely low resolution and as I grabbed onto a side of a building I fell through the world but could still glide around.
which version?
Yeah, a lot of that is just ... searching. Alfred points out some spots, and you'll see "Intel" on the mission select screen.
What I did, mostly, is climb atop a building, enter detective mode, and look for a group of yellow silhouettes. That's usually indicative of a mob for the firefighter missions.
Yes. Xbox version for me.
PS4.
is this a smart ass question? if not, then yes. Many, many. Burnout series, NFS series, Forza series, and even things like Blur. AK's driving SUCKS
Everything.
Damn lol, I am tempted just to skip the Riddler stuff, and get the good ending only, then just watch the true ending on Youtube.

What was the Batman theme in the Rocksteady Arkham games? Until Arkham City, I always took the end credits theme from Arkham Asylum to be the Batman theme for the series until Arkham City rolled along. It almost seemed like Arundel decided to gravitate more to Asylum's minimalist score from title screen in Arkham Asylum. Alot of what I'm hearing in Arkham Knight sounds similar, but I think that AK's signature theme is probably the "Evening the odds" arrangement, Arkham City's Protocol 10 theme seemed to be the prevalent theme used in AC, but you hear traces of the Asylum theme as it kicks into a more soaring, triumphant tempo. I can't really link anything from Asylum's theme into Evening the Odd's though.
I really liked Asylum's end credits theme, and was disappointed that it ended up being demoted to a cameo in Arkham City. I've pointed this out over the years, but no one else seems to have noticed and have accepted City's as the Arkhamverse's official theme.
AK driving is perfectly fine until Rocksteady decides that for the hardest part in the batmobile lets change how the controls work. It just throws everything you have learned about the batmobile out the window.
It's easy to see why they did it, going for that cinematic feel and chase cam, but it just doesn't work very well.
Not sure if you passed that part yet but I highly recommend you do it in first person view. I did on NG+ and it controls way smoother.
The pulled out camera is unwieldy as fuck.
Do it. You're literally only missing like 1-2 min worth of extra cutscene footage. And, you can always go back after and collect all the stuff to see the full ending.
