The extra ending is just a cutscene 100% it doesn't net anything beyond that, except for shutting Riddler up.

They're a pain to do, but I would hold off on these challenges until you upgrade the boost on the batmobile to the max. Otherwise they're near impossible to get 3 stars.
And that is primarily why I did that. His constant babbling over the loudspeaker was really starting to grind my gears in the end. He is by far the most annoying villain in the series.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
That was worth grinding it out for all those collectibles for. Fuck that guy.
Oh, I didn't - I blasted everything from a nearby road. Once this thread told me that the Batmobile was used for the drone/heavily armed roadblocks, I took the rest down pretty quickly.
I never think to use the Batmobile (except for the blatantly obvious parts like using the winch) because I'm so used to the previous games in the series.

You can clear just about every checkpoint without it too. Probably my favorite parts of the game. I'd love for a mode that repopulates those checkpoints, or challenge maps set in the open world with different scenarios and Batmobile usage.

The "Use _ amount of moves in a continuous Freeflow combo" trophies have gotten easier and easier for me in each successive game. I think it's probably it's hardest in Asylum, since the Batarang is the only quickfire combat weapon in the game, whereas in every other game, Batman's arsenal and moveset are far wider.
For those of you with the Season Pass, I was wondering how it works.
Is it like the last-gen style, where the content you buy is pulled through the game itself, and you have to be careful not downloading it again from the store, because it's a separate license?
Or is it that you're just buying licenses in the store, that you can download again directly from the store, and the items are individual pieces in your download history?
I'm thinking of one of the Saints Row's specifically in this case, but I couldn't download the content from the store.. I had to go into the game, choose "DLC" or something, then install it from there.. and there was no way to install it from the web store or anything like that.

All DLC areas auto link to the MS store now. You download normally and it knows you already own it.
Thanks, Chitown..
That makes the Season Passes a little more bearable if you like the price. That Batman '89 skin and Batmobile are EXCEPTIONALLY persuasive, I'm both happy and embarrassed to admit.

how long is it taking some of you to beat the game? I rented it and got to 32% and want to buy it, but i'm thinking about buying bloodborne and get this later. Should I buy it or should I wait?

sure thing. For instance the x360 Borderlands season pass stuff was really annoying, so I'm glad they worked it out this way now.
Finished with what I am assuming is the most basic ending. That was absolutely amazing, the ending sequence was inspired, and just overall I am very pleased at this as a send-off to the trilogy. The Arkham Knight identity twist fit in well with the story and themes, although my slight issue with it is that ARKHAM KNIGHT IDENTITY SPOILERS
I especially enjoyed all the encounters towards the end of the game which felt sufficiently more difficult than anything in the previous games, in particular with the introduction of the medics. Batmobile stuff did not get old for me - I loved that mechanic, although I did take the advice in this thread about upgrading the double boost which made the battles a little easier.
Time to wrap up the side missions and the riddler trophies - and to see what this final ending is all about.
it does require some knowledge of events in the Batman universe that do not happen in the games, if I'm not mistaken.

I can't upload videos to YouTube with my PS4 anymore. Each time I try, it tells me to sign in. I can sign in as often as I'd like; as soon as I try to upload a video it tells me to sign in again.
edit: After entering my credentials, I was presented with two.. well, two what? Channels? There were two options; both showed my YouTube username, but only the first showed my email address. That's the one I tried before. So this time, I chose the second option, and it worked. Not sure what this was about.

Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with the ending.
I feel like as much as I love the Arkham games, (and they are on my list of absolute favourite games.) they really let them selves down in the story a lot of the time. I feel Arkham City had a similar problem where:
So I activated Knightfall prematurely and it said I had to 100% everything to get the full ending. Why didn't they just lock all the cut scene behind the 100% completion, since now that I have finished everything, I have already seen half of what I have worked towards.
On top of that, I kinda felt the full ending was a bit lacklustre. Jason Todd just kinda turns up, frees batman and vanishes earlier on, so I was half expecting him to turn up in the 100% cutscene to show where he went. Also thought out the story I was wondering, if he does die, who will end up taking over, because during the story you have:
Nightwing
Robin
Red Hood
Azreal
Who seemed to be hinted at taking over the Batman identity, but in the end they don't even go explain who has taken over if anyone. I was hoping for maybe a poignant red hood moment where he and bat man make up in the ending cinematic, but no.

Ejecting at full speed + boost will give you more than enough air to get all the way through it. That tube of spinning blades can be tricky though.

So close to the platinum that I can almost taste it. I just have to complete New Game+ and it's mine.
I found these to be fairly easy for 3 stars. It was some of the tank battles that needed high scores that pissed me off, like the one you cant get hit on.

I was on that for half a day until I realised that launching from the Batmobile gives you enough momentum to glide upwards for a short while.

For the PS4, you need to get 69/78 stars. On Xbox One you need to get all 69 stars since the Scarecrow DLC is PS4 exclusive.

Those are some fair points. I actually really liked what they did with
Arkham Knight, but I found the reveal was too late in the game. I would've loved an earlier reveal, a reluctant team up followed by him rejecting to join Batman and/or turn himself in, then becoming Red Hood
They can do the "man behind the man" story without shafting the initial "man."
Also thought the teases as to
who would succeed Batman were going to go somewhere, but it's left a bit too ambiguous with no indication for the fate of those characters. It would've been cool if specific game choices led to different characters taking Bruce Wayne's place.

So does anyone have a good online resource for completing the side challenges once one has done the main storyline?
I just beat the campaign a few hours ago, and honestly I have no desire left in me to do the rest figuring it out on my own. So any good guides or sites that point one in the right direction of how to do the remaining stuff to initiate Knightfall would be greatly appreciated.
I basically have the weekend to do so, I just submitted it into Amazon for $27.19 trade in credit. Figure it was best to get what I could while I could, as once this weekend passes, I will never touch the game again.
I actually really enjoyed my time with the game, it just is not a keeper IMHO. It definitely got pretty damn repetitive, but I really liked the overall dark tone of it all, and some of it was definitely enjoyable. I also happened to like most of the batmobile segments minus the few that have already been discussed. Just time to move on and definitely no season pass for me.

That one is a pain in the ass. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of trial and error. There is no hidden win-strategy, no secret line-launcher option. It's just trying 50 times.
Remember that after the blade tunnel is another sharp turn to the right; the blade tunnel is not the final part.

Been enjoying the game so far, even bat tank, but the
was pretty annoying. The Batmobile is a nice break in short bursts but that section is much too long and should have had an on-foot section to accompany it. Was so happy to just

Yup. I actually thought there would be more to the fight after the tank battle. The boss battles were pretty lackluster.
I can't believe there wasn't a boss fight against
Arkham Knight... Yeah I know there was the Predator section but it wasn't enough, I wanted a hand-to-hand fight against him ala Deathstroke but better... sigh... this tarnished the game for me quite a bit.
And they could've added the Scarecrow DLC boss fight as a part of the final confrontation against him, but I guess people would have said "BATMOBILE AGAIN ?!" but I would've liked to see it implemented in the main game.

How is the performance of the game on XBone compared to PS4?
Spoiler tagged, but is just an answer to your question:
Dont worry, there are no branching paths, just successive endings depending on how much of the game you've completed:
There's an end of the main missions, which could be considered ending 1. You are then back in free roam, and if you complete most secondary missions you get to see ending 2. Ending 3 is just ending 2 + a few extra scenes, and it is unlocked finding every riddler trophy.

Does anyone know if the game auto saves at certain points in the tunnel section of the game with the batmobile and excavator? Or do I need to get into all three areas without dying? I just need to know so I can decide whether I should just look up the ending on YouTube.
I love 99% of the game but this section is absolutely destroying my goodwill and patience.

It auto saves after every section (i think). I was loving this game up until that spot. absolutely terrible section which brings the whole game to a screeching halt.
And that's what I was trying to upload:

About 70% throughout the whole game, will probably be the first game I platinum that isn't a Telltale game.
And I still have to buy the Season Pass, so there's more!
And I'm so pumped about Batman that I bought The Court of Owls + Mask, The City of Owls and Volume 3 (forgot the name) + Mask.
Never read Batman before, and it's amazing so far.
Next month I'll grab The Killing Joke and the Halloween one (the complete edition) since Year One isn't available at Amazon BR atm.

Totally agree. I just finished the game myself (sans riddler stuff - gtfo with that, I just watched the 100% ending on YT) and I agree with all your points. Liked it quite a lot, I hope we'll see some worthwhile DLC.

Everybody that hates the batmobile sections, did you switch the controls? I did NOT like using the batmobile until I switched the controls. The Riddler sections are much easier as well if you switch to first person.
My only big complaint is there wasn't any boss battles but one and the rest of the "boss" battles were in the tank. THAT was annoying. I think if they changed that up and then didn't have the side missions where you used the virus on the mines then the Batmobile sections would have been less grating on people.

You sound like me. I've got bat fever! Never bought a comic in my life but I've been checking online for these same comics
I need one more trophy and I don't think I can do it. Brutality 101... Any tips? I must be terrible at combat
By switching controls you just mean switching to first person right, just getting that clear for me. I agree with you, I race way better in first person than in third person, which is kind of weird because for most games it's the other way around.

I assume not. There's an alternate control scheme where you no longer have to hold R2/LT to activate battlemode. Just tap R1/RB and you stay in battlemode. R2/LT then works as brakes.
Hmm, might have to try that. Braking with the square button is weird.
