The Harley Quinn DLC, as a piece of DLC, is pretty shit isn't it. In itself it's fine, but it's like 10 minutes long with zero replay-ability.

If I buy the season pass right now will I unlock any more character or batmobile skins?
Or are none of them available yet?

I think the second is when the Joker appears in the same way as Man-Bat as a joke. I totally didn't expect it.
You're playing a Batman game but don't wanna do Batman things. I'm confused.

Only been a few hours but I feel bitterly disappointed too, something just feels off about the controls, the Batman games always felt intuitive despite the wealth of combat/traversal options, this time I'm running into way too many times where the game isn't doing what I want it to do.

I really dont understand how you could love one and hate the other...but its got a lot more in common with City than Asylum so far. What exactly did you hate about City?
Also, if you have a PS4 you could find a friend willing to let you do a shareplay session so you can try it for yourself.

Great game so far, but much more like City than Asylum.
Absolutely. It's quite punishing, especially when compared to the previous games. Everything I've read so far makes me certain that people who don't enjoy the batmobile actually do so because they are bad at it and not the other way around.

Holy shit, the stealth bat tank sections are awful. They go from annoying to terribly boring. This part really overstays its welcome.
It has way less gameplay variety than the foot sections do.
It's more that the tank (stealth and combat) isn't very fun in the first place and by the tenth or twentieth iteration of "take down enemy waves", you're just going through the motions.

They've said no loading in the game, but I've run into two instances of loading icons while just driving around into different sections of Gotham in the Batmobile on PS4. :|

The Harley one is literally 10 minutes long and is basically 4 challenge arenas with a story to them.

how come I don't have the Red hood stuff? I bought the season pass. (X1)
Despite the Batmobile being really wonky to control (the driving controls are so loose and floaty, it's hard to believe this passed QA at all) I actually find it much faster to get around Gotham that way than by gliding and grappling. At least so far -- I'm only a couple hours in and haven't had much reason to scour the whole city yet.
On PC, but I found it odd the default costume wasn't accumulating damage over the course of the main story. It would show up in cutscenes (which were all in game) and then disappear after I got control back.
Even in the showcase menu the default suit at the end of the game it's all messed up but if I select it and start up the game, I have a pristine suit. (Which is funny because they give you a fresh version of the new Batsuit at the post game)
Also I kinda wish you could switch costumes without having quit out to the menu.

You're getting it when the store exclusivity expires, in September IIRC.

Are you trying to change the controls for the batmobile?
I think there is a box in game options that says "toggle battlemode" which will change your controls to L2=brake, R2=gas, R1= battlemode.

Both Harley and the Red Hood DLC are pathetic.

Are Trophies decently easy to get?
The Batmobile definitely overstays it's welcome and I'd say there's probably like half a dozen too many mandatory tank segments.
Also if you blitz through the main story I would say that's actually the harder way through the game as xp between levels balloons pretty quick, you can't get xp from fighting thugs in the open world anymore and most (or easier) upgrade points are locked behind Most Wanted sidequest progress.
I'm crying. You obviously don't know how to play the game. Have you ever tried the combat maps in Arkham asylum or city?
I obviously do seeing as I completed both Asylum and City, and I haven't died once in this game either.
What difficulty?
you caught me before my edit!. Have you ever tried the combat maps in Arkham asylum or city?
Do you have any resources that would explain the complexity of the combat in more detail?
Nevermind, you edited.

Same, the last thing I ever upgraded was the combat stuff. The combat is already "easy" the additional combos and gadget uses etc just make it "easier".
Through multiple play throughs of the previous games all I did was attack attack counter attack attack attack counter. Maybe throw a batarang or freeze blast on occasion to trip a dude up.

You have to beat the first batmobile challenge to unlock the toggle. Yeah, it's ridiculous.
It requires skill and timing. How isn't that fun and rewarding?
I mean, if someone who says the batmobile sections are bad could upload a clip to show and prove that they are good at it, I'd certainly be persuaded.
I think people just get frustrated with it and since those parts of the game aren't as immediate as the combat, they mark them as badly designed or just plain boring, instead of pushing through and enjoy the tank sections for the challenge and the chasing sections for the elating feeling of pure overpower XD

I had this question too. The toggle option only shows up after you progress in the game. I believe it shows up after you complete the first Batmobile training exercise, but if not then keep playing to the point where you can choose your Missions and it will be available.
No, they are super short and unoriginal. Not as good as Catwoman in AC. Maybe $5 total if you are really into the world and/or want all trophies.
I haven't had that at all. The game has been running very smoothly.
Which is a race track of all things :lol

Why do people do this? There is no context to what could be behind this spoiler tag. It could be a game ruining spoiler, it could be a new car, it could be the cure for cancer, it could be your reasoning for being inconsiderate. Who knows? The choice is yours!
Have you tried new game plus?
You definitely need to be more combat proficient to get 3 stars in them.
I only played through the games once, I rarely re-play games anyway.

i just cant get a good handle on the bat mobile.
trigger being accelerate and x being reverse is so weird

Anyone else feels like Batman's lines are so generic ?
A character could have a great lengthy dialogue and Batman will answer it with a generic "I'll handle it" / "Anything can happen" etc. Basically one liners that feels like they were voiced out of context but used here just like that.

Yeah but that's exactly what I don't get. So this sections make the game harder: what's wrong with that?
Change it then. Left trigger as reverse and x as hand break.
I was hating the driving before i switched to toggle mode.

Ever since earing about the Adam West Batman skin (which I don't have, boo), every time Bat's says something I try to imagine Adam Wests voice saying it.
And the topic of voice acting, every time Scarcrow says something I picture Walter from Fringe. It's very distracting for me.
