[xxANTIMONITORxx]

Not gonna get this game for a while, but happy my expectations are being checked. I think I'll still really enjoy it, but I won't be caught by it's apparent weaknesses.

Speaking of weaknesses, I've noticed a lot of people complaining about the weird/bad control of the Batmobile. Could tighter or adapted controls be patched in by Rocksteady to improve things?

Ok, so I'm like two hours in:

Spoiler

The Joker...AGAIN! I mean it's nice that he's still dead and it's nice they actually got Hamill back (Was he making up the whole feud with WB?) but I was kind of looking forward to a game without him at all to be honest.

Also, what the hell is with the idea that Joker's blood "turns other people into the Joker"?? Joker's still just a regular guy.

Spoiler

I was very annoyed by his presence at first. But i'm kind of liking him now. He is inside bruce's head. So he knows everything about batman. Some of his commentaries are pretty good.

And about the blood. Well, yeah it's silly. But ... comic books. Silly stuff like this is not unheard of.

I dunno. If they could patch in a sensitivity setting I'd be happier. I can't find one and I've searched though the menus. Just seems that the sensitivity is too high for my tastes. I found the Batmobile better once I found the toggle setting. Played a bit better that way but still too damn sensitive when in non tank mode.

Any of my PS4 fam know where to play the Scarecrow DLC?

Just change battle mode to toggle instead of hold and you're good to go.
I just had this huge chase with everything breaking and crumbling around me. So badass. And the controls were fine.

 

[BD1]

Enjoying it, but (I never thought I'd say this) too much batmobile!!

Urgh, its not overly satisfying and the drone combat ain't so hot.

 

[mujun]

Wow that's interesting, there was so much lashing out against gamespot for that rating before the game released.

All the answers are in your post

 

[Angel_DvA]

The PSN is dying, 93h for the first 16Go... Is Iron Galaxy manage Sony servers or what ? I want to play this game so much lol.

As to the

blood

keep in mind the plot of Arkham Assylum and Arkham City, it ties back into those so it's not normal

Joker blood

but rather

titan mutated Joker blood

 

[GavinUK86]

I can do the side stuff after blitzing through the main missions right?

How do you change the battle mode to toggle? When I go to controls it just shows me the button layout, no option to change anything...

 

[SargerusBR]

Game Options -> Battle Mode Toggle

L2 to transform your vehicle you mean?

 

[HeresSomeWeapons]

Everything is a problem. Couldn't do anything in the game because I got a "game data is still installing" message wherever I went, even though the game was already fully installed (with the update). Deleted it to try again, but this time without downloading the update, but then I couldn't do anything because my save file was from a more recent version. So now I have to wait for the 4gb update to install again before I can even play. And then on top of that the WBPlay account system is all sorts of screwed up. Apparently I already have an account linked to my PSN, but because of that I don't have a WB password so I can't log in to get my anime Batman skin.

What a mess.

 

[DangerMouse]

Can't freaking wait for my copy to get here.

I really, really, really, really, really hope you can unlock the Arkham Knight suit for personal use at some point in the game. It looks so much cooler than the suit Batman has.

That would be awesome as heck, the Arkham Knight suit looks completely badass in all the videos.

You have to play the entire first batmobile bit first, and then it unlocks the option for some stupid reason

 

[shinobi602]

Game Options -> Battle Mode Toggle

You sure? All I get in Game Options are these:

Edit: Oh...well, there it is lol. Weird.

 

[krypt0nian]

Good god this game......glorious

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Spent a few hours with the game, really liking it so far.

 

[N° 2048]

This game beats Bloodborne for graphics IMO. WOW. PS4.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Any of my PS4 fam know where to play the Scarecrow DLC?

It's the last option under the AR challenges menu.

O my god, seriously?

There are some bizarre design choices in this game.

Doing a side mission early in the game, I done the first part of it

where you have to examine the body with your tissue analysis device

Now what do I have to do next, it says I have to find the killer by

Anyone else getting wierd bugs and glitches like when I am fighting a group of thugs...instantly getting teleported away?

 

[StriKeVillain]

It's stupidly good looking. I'll need to compare it to The Witcher 3 when I get around to playing that (IE: when it's on sale).

 

[ultron87]

You guys think Bruce put a light in for the Batmobile trunk seat? Is there somewhere to plug your phone in back there?

 

[ironcreed]

O my god, seriously?

Indeed. I cannot remember the last time my opinion changed so fast on a game.

 

[perineumlick]

The verbal and psychological abuse Batman takes is pretty damn brutal lol! Some of the stuff that is said to him had me shaking my head like, "Damn, that's fucked up!" lol.

 

[Hysterical]

It's the last option under the AR challenges menu.

Ahh there it is! Thank you!

 

[perineumlick]

Make sure you check your messages at Wayne Tower, after the Ace Chemicals mission.

 

[BokehKing]

That's not saying much, is it close to the order or superior to witcher 3?


Not that it matters

 

[ironcreed]

No way.

 

[Grisby]

So yeah, the graphics are very nice. Super atmospheric.

No way points for the side question is a little off, but I guess that means I'll just have to dive more into the city. So far I don't have too much of a problem with the BMobile controls. It's just that shooting the tanks wasn't very much fun as their AI doesn't seem to be too good.

 

[gameoverbro]

Harley is technically prequel DLC so I personally think that should be played first before the main game. I don't really know where Red Hood lies within the story, but I ended up playing that one right after Harley. Both aren't really that long, and that way I get them out of the way so I can just focus on the main game.

Awesome and thank you!

 

[zychi]

3/4 of the way the story gets awesome. I love how they switched it up a bit

I think it looks better than Witcher 3; not TO of course.

 

[lovely ladies]

Crap, just had my first crash, sound died and the screen went blank. Had to hard reset and everything.

 

[Soothsayer137]

anyone having issues with the ps4 version, a buddy just called to let me know the online challenges were logging him off. although first day problems are the norm now

 

[Reule]

Anyone get a message on a leader board saying a connection to the PlayStation Network couldn't be established and other such information. Definitely was connected to PSN so did their servers take a drop for a bit?

Edit: Guess others are having the same issue!

 

[CosmicQueso]

If there is one thing I hate this generation is patches, holy shit. Sometimes I wish we were back in the PS2 days and what you get on this disc is all you need.

And gas used to be a dollar and I never had to take my shoes off at the airport.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I was doing some AR missions about a half hour ago and for some reason the leaderboard wouldn't work because it said it couldn't connect to PSN, even though I could look at my friends list and go on the store.

Outside of that it's been flawless.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

So are you just not allowed to do the Batmobile slingshot eject until a certain point? Cause it's not working for me.

 

[StriKeVillain]

This might be one of my favorite posts in a while. We could use a couple more on this site.

 

[Blitzrules240]

SWEET JESUS!


The part where

Spoiler

you're playing as Gordon looking at the people infected by the Joker's blood and GODDAMN BATMAN IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

I never screamed louder in the game so far. Well it was more of an "ahhh why would you do that lol" but yeah, got me good.

Crap, just had my first crash, sound died and the screen went blank. Had to hard reset and everything.

Yeah, I'm going to report an issue as well. I had lost sound at the start of the Ace Chemicals mission and I was like "Huh, guess I'll restart". Application wouldn't close, PSN told me "please wait". Screen went pitch black, system wasn't responding, disc wouldn't eject, power button did nothing...

I was so afraid I was going to kill my PS4 by using my killswitch but it just hard reset, I lost no progress and all my data was fine. Just a fair warning if anyone has this happen to them.

There is a point pretty early on where it lets you do a bunch of tutorials, you learn it there.

Thanks. The menu makes it seem like it's already unlocked.
