Another thing that annoys me: The Batmobile controls. WHAT THE FUCK? We've been playing racing games with triggers for how long now? 15 years? Why in the world would you take break off the left trigger? Why would you not give players the option to change that?

The Tank toggle should be the square button and it should be just that, a toggle. You shouldn't have to hold it down to engage in that mode. Do correct me if there's a way to do this, but I looked last night and definitely didn't see one.

Open the map and you'll see the cursor has coordinates. Go to those numbers.

Thanks a lot!

I was looking for co-ordinates but I guess I missed them.

Go to Game Options after the first Batmobile section; you can change it so accelerate is on one trigger, and brake is on the other. Tank toggle is on R1.

It's under game options and appears after the first riddler puzzle, I think?

You can actually change it, you have to change it to toggle tank mode in game options. LT becomes your break and you press R1 to toggle tank mode.

I haven't played the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC from Arkham City. Is it recommended that I play that before AK?

 

[Nyteshade517]

I played through the Harley Story and I liked it. Hey style is different (obviously) and it takes a little getting used to. The banter with

Spoiler

Penguin

is funny and hearing

Spoiler

Harleen talking to her as the voice in her head

a couple times is a nice touch.

Recommended? Not really. Sure, it's short and fun but it has zero impact on this game.

 

[Alienfan]

It's really a prologue to one of the early missions in the main game. It makes sense to play it first imo

 

[HTVfanatic]

Sorry if this has been answered before, but is playing the previous games required or strongly encouraged? I've played most of Asylum, but haven't gotten into City very far.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I would say its definitely required, but if you ain't got the time, hit up YouTube and watch a story recap.

I never played Origins though, so I don't really know if that is required to know what happened in that game.

 

[ZeroX03]

Sorry if this has been answered before, but is playing the previous games required or strongly encouraged? I've played most of Asylum, but haven't gotten into City very far.

Answered many times, finish Asylum and City first. Origins isn't necessary.

 

[Haloid1177]

City is pretty important honestly. I mean they explain what happens but I think it adds a lot more to the game to play through it first.

 

[Naar]

right on dpad

ah that? Yea i know about it and i did it many times but the marker wont show up

I have to follow the van, but it doesnt show on map anymore

Can someone at least tell me which part of the map i have to be in and maybe i get lucky and see the van?

Here is my previous post

Anyone can help? I found this walkthrough, which is exactly where i am at

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...e-4012?page=17

But since i died, the van wont pop up for me anymore

So either i try going to the place where the van was or the hideout and hope i trigger a cutscene

Only thing is i dont know where either of those 2 locations are on the map

 

[bananafactory]

Can you continue to play after you complete the main story? I don't want to do side stuff until I'm finished main missions

 

[jbug617]

Just got to the

Spoiler

Stagg Airship

. The tank fights are not bad but I don't think it was necessary for the game.

Spoiler

Also they sort like to do the jump scare thing a lot it seems during the game.

 

[Kurtofan]

Can someone tell me the fuck how to do the commander zone with all the turrets under the bridge?

 

[Hagi]

I wouldn't even recommend playing Harleys DLC from this game lol

Absolutely terrible.

 

[IconGrist]

Anybody tried Remote Play yet? Impressions?

 

[Omega]

not sure if it's the same one you're talking about but you can use the batmobile to pull down one of the walls.

 

[Temidien]

Sorry if this has already been answered (too afraid of spoilers to lurk through previous discussions), but what's the general opinion of the Red Hood DLC? Worth playing right away or is it the kind of thing that can wait to be picked up later in a GOTY or season pass situation?

GameStop is being awful about getting my preorder to me timely, I'm considering just purchasing from the PSN store.

 

[Venom Fox]

Spoiler

It definitely takes place in the past, but you wouldn't realize it at first that's for sure. The oracle did get shot and that was a past memory as well because of the toxin batman is under. I believe that actually happened that way in the comics too even down to what the joker was wearing in that scene. The joker is a hallucination for sure because of the fear toxin batman is currently under

NeoGaf to the rescue!

Thanks guys, I'm playing with my brother and because we were talking and playing I lost the gist of what was going on and I got completely lost on the current plot.

Thanks again guys!

It's two combat encounters and one predator encounter with almost no story, very little dialogue or connection to the main game, and there doesn't seem to be a way to play as Jason in any more meaningful challenge room content. As a free bonus, it's just okay, but I wouldn't pay separately for it; much less hinge a purchase of the game on it.

Gaf to the rescue! Apologies to anyone at Rocksteady who may be reading this. Though it still mind blowing the game doesn't ship like this.

 

[Exploratory]

Hey anyone know if the leaderboards are down? I haven't been able to connect since I got the game yesterday.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm baffled by why it wasn't default. The toggle and change to button layout make the game much more enjoyable in the vehicle sections.

 

[Reule]

Man, I want to keep playing this game but we're having some terrible thunderstorms where I am.

Hey anyone know if the leaderboards are down? I haven't been able to connect since I got the game yesterday.

Down for me as well.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Maybe I've just been lucky but this game hard froze my ps4, first time any game has done that.

My initial impressions aren't very good for several reasons. I hope it gets better.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

The lack of load times is very very impressive.

 

[Fury451]

City is pretty important honestly. I mean they explain what happens but I think it adds a lot more to the game to play through it first.

It's essential honestly. Yeah, you can play this on it's own technically, but this is a direct extension of City, and most of the events in this aren't going to have the same impact without playing that first.

I wouldn't even recommend playing Harleys DLC from this game lol

Absolutely terrible.

It was short and pointless from a story aspect, but her special abilities are really neat. Shame they're barely used at all.

 

[Prototype]

Stuck near the end and it's making me really angry.

Spoiler

where you see batman's dead parents and a seemingly infinite amount of jokers fight you.

I've been killing them for like 20 mins and it's getting stupid.

How do I progress? This is really stupid.

 

[jediyoshi]

Gaf to the rescue! Apologies to anyone at Rocksteady who may be reading this. Though it still mind blowing the game doesn't ship like this.

That's because later on in the game, it makes much more sense to be able to quickly go in and out of tank mode.

 

[Naar]

found the solution!

I found this video and retraced my steps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L19skgIweGI

seems like when i died, it made me die mid mission and when i got to the location, even though i had no mission marker it triggered the mission for me as soon as i got to the location

but it was a hassle....

 

[Marc]

Honestly not enjoying the game so far, the Batmobile stuff drags the entire game down and the constant side characters popping up every 5 seconds is getting old. And ok so you're hard for the Batmobile, at least make it good. Play a racing game, then play with this... thing and its just a horrible attempt. To then use it as the answer to every other question asked of batman is just getting silly. Batman needs to find the bad guy? Use the car. Need to find your TV remote? Use the car. By far the worst of the series so far IMO, hopefully picks up a bit soon.

One thing I am enjoying is

Spoiler

Hamills

performance, look forward to him popping up.

Looks amazing though.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

This is more of a general story question but I'll spoiler it anyway, I'm about half wayish I thin through the story now, does

Never imagined Bruce's cousin Kate Kane actually exists in this universe. Wish they would of allowed her to be a playable ally.

 

[Alchemy]

This is the first game ever to make me feel like I gotta throw up from motion sickness, happened when I had to

Spoiler

tilt the airships for some sliding block

puzzle stuff. Had to stop playing, and now I'm going to lay down. This is some gnarly shit.

Also the Batmobile combat is boring as fuck. *drops a smoke pellet*

 

[Liamc723]

I put some more time into the game since I last posted, and the game's story has got a little more interesting. Everything else is just pretty boring though. I'm looking forward to getting the majority of my money back from trade-in honestly.

What a complete mess this game has been, what with the PC version and many people's disappointment. Thankfully it's the last game in the series.

 

[Zank Frappa]

Is there a trophy or reward tied to defusing all the bombs in the ground?

 

[Venom Fox]

How long is this game?

[PlayALLtheGames]

Depends on the fps.

 

[ShutterMunster]

That's because later on in the game, it makes much more sense to be able to quickly go in and out of tank mode.

I reckon that's easier to do with a tap of R1 than holding the left trigger when my brain is wired to that being a break button. I've already gotten into tons of tank battles. I've taken on 5-10 of them at once with helicopters, I don't know how much more obnoxious that stuff can get.

Depends on the fps.

LOL, okay that was funny.

 

[Future]

Man there is a lot of bat mobile the first third of this game or so. Feels like it tapers off a bit and back to more classic batman. I actually don't mind the bat mobile... It's just that the pacing of every mission including a bunch of side stuff kinda over uses it. It's like it's paced as if you just stopped playing Arkham city and they want to shove the new mechanic in your face

Basically listen for conversations when you're near which tips you off, or more reliable look for smaller clusters of thugs. When they're gathered and just kind of hanging around, that's usually where they have a fireman.

Essentially you just trip over them by accident.
