Go to Options, toggle battle mode so that R1 toggles battle mode and L2 becomes brake.
I found the second part of the opera quest through listening to the radio from the helicopters flying overhead. Told me where to look (only if you don't want to know where the second one is):
One of the helicopters said they spotted a body at the Gotham Herald building. I went over to it and heard the music and found the second body.

Might not be the one you're thinking of. It's the one where you have to
use the Batmobile's momentum and eject into a glide to land on wall pressure pads

Then it probably isn't time to continue that quest. You'll know when it is because the quest icon on the mission wheel will be pulsing. It will then give you an approximate location of the opera music. Or you can listen out for audio cues from thugs and police chopper chatter.

WHAT
Been playing for 40 minutes or so, PS4 disc version without the patch installed. When on a rope you can drop to line launcher and there is an hilarious bug.
Right now I am getting pissed off with this game because I am playing from a DISC, and after doing like 3 missions I am stuck waiting in front of a door while the game says
PLEASE WAIT WHILE GAME DATA IS BEING INSTALLED
Seriously wtf is this shit?

PSN down? Perfect! Just as I was punching in my DLC codes. Probably lost those now then. Awesome.
EDIT: Ok, got them. But hey, here's a really stupid thing: I entered all three codes at once, without starting to download any of them, and guess what? There's no way to get to them again! On the PS4, that is. There's no way to access your download list. So you actually have to go do it at a computer via the PS Store site. Come on, Sony...
(Ok, found out you can just enter the same codes again to get to their download pages, but still. Pretty stupid. Why did they remove this useful thing the PS3 had?)

Side missions are tied with story missions. If you don't advance in the campaign you can't beat all the side stuff. You can learn how many missions are currently doable trough quest list (right on the d-pad? I don't remember)

I got the maximum Batmobile eject upgrade and holy shit it launches you so high and so far. I love it.
About Knight...nothing that you already don't know.
It was so obvious....they could have been a little more creative and let Todd be a red herring instead
I have to say I'm really impressed by the length of the main missions so far. I feel like I've been playing it for ages and I'm only 70% of the way through it. I've done most of the interesting side missions so I'll probably focus more of my concentration onto finishing the story now.

When did "play for a few weeks" become not good enough to justify a full price purchase? Is the standard no longer the quality of the experience, but instead the overall quantity?

Major surprises left.

And why would I want them?
My man. thanks for posting that, was having the exact same issue. The default controls are kinda fucked

Thanks, that's a useful tip! I can't get used to L2 not being reverse.

I don't remember which pre-release review mentioned doing those, but i made a mental note to do it as soon as i could when i started and I can see why the reviewer made special mention.
Witcher 3 got people spoiled bruh

Why people hating on the Batmobile? Looks amazing.
Cause they suck at it. The AR challenges are fucking amazeballs.

How long does the game install? I can't reach the first area to investigate the riddler because it's still installing..

WOW. Variety's twitter just potentially spoiled the ending of the game to all of its followers, including myself.
If I wasn't mad about this game already...

Kevin Conroy's voice acting in this game makes me cringe. Sorry,I know I'm going to piss people off by saying this.

Soooo my LE PS4 copy arrived today from Amazon as they promised. I was surprised by the size of the box and really think it's one of the cooler LE sets I've seen and own especially with the surprise light feature of the statue. Also Microsoft charges like 300 bones for their Halo 5 CE with a statue and steel book but no physical disc and Batman gives me 2 cases for my disc including a steel book. lol
The game though...holy fuck...Be the Batman indeed. Even though I've seen the intro and "evening the odds" it doesn't compare to actually seeing and playing it on your console. I have 2 friends who I was hyping this game up to and they said they'd get it eventually but I had to show them just how good everything looked so I share played with them. As soon as they saw me jumping off a roof and summoning the Batmobile with one button press and then taking off to find and fight crime, they left Share Play and headed to GameStop to trade in some old games and came back with Batman. lol

Yeah, it can be incredibly cheesy and off-putting at times.
I don't think he does a very good "angry batman". Ezio from Arkham Origins did a far better job.
However, when batman is more calm and talking himself through situations and detective mode and the like, i think conroy is perfectly spot on from what i expect. His voice is more fitting for a more calm, subtle, collected batman

Pretty much this. People who were worried about the batmobile I think knew how bad they were at driving in games. Hey, at least they can drive through most shit. lol.

Avoid Variety's twitter account, they just spoiled the game, lol. Not sure if they deleted the tweet or not.
Edit: I see someone's already mentioned it.

After reading the 1st part of the article, it seems like he's more talking about the beginning of the game
where Gordon says 'this is how the Batman died'.
Still unsure, and don't want to know, quite honestly.

Yeah, it does look amazing, until you realize they've reshuffled the whole gameplay loop in favor of it. That basically means less flying around, less combat and less predator.
I don't find it terrible by any means and they had to mix things up to keep the game from being Arkham City 1.55 but I can't say I find the races, the car puzzles or the car fights more interesting than their pedestrian equivalents. So it's a bit of a mixed bag IMO.
I'm finding the predator gameplay to be very weak so far, the encounter design is very ho hum for it (so far).
I believe it's because it's forced a lot into the game.
I pretty much avoid using Batmobile because I am already sick of the mandatory tank battles and I don't want any more...there're only so many that you can do before you get bored.
Pursuit mode is ok and fun...but in all honesty the car is used a bit too much for missions.
Disregarding other's opinion by saying they suck at it when the complaint could be about something else completely.

Amen. I'm grateful anymore when a quality AAA game can be completed (albeit not to 100%) in less than 12 - 15 hours. With a deluge of games and limited time I simply can't devote months to a single title anymore.

This was bound to happen. There is an entire journalist approach to video games now and it isn't from the person who holds gaming near and dear to their hearts. It's the crowd that wants to know everything with little to no surprises.
I agree. I feel comfortable with it because I didn't master the controls in two minutes. It gives me something to improve, which use to be fun. Give me something that I can't do blindfolded.
How is that stupid? I think they expect that most people will open the entire package before freaking out.
His VO has been spotty in all of them.

It's Batman for the masses. If we universalized Batman we'd have a talking robot with a cape.

question about one of the first sidequests you get:
I found the first firefight but where are the rest of them? I know they were seperated but there's no quest marker.
Nope. It is because they force it on you unnecessarily and they add whole load of tanks on the ground, make it annoying when you want to go from point A to B.
Also I am good at driving games fyi.
Batmobile aside, the graphics are excellent on PS4 and the story seems to be shaping up nicely I just reached the
second Island, hopefully there is more interactions with other villains to come.

He has like no emotional range in these games. Voice actor for Origin was better in that department.
