Oh also I stupidly bought the 360 version instead of the PS3 version, meaning I won't be getting the Knightfall DLC pack. Is it really worth it? If so, maybe I'll try trade in my copy for the PS3 version, but that's kind of a hassle.
It is just a skin and three challenge maps. Hardly worth it. Same goes for the Deathstroke DLC. Two challenge maps and the character. Great as a pre-order bonus but hardly worth 5$
Just finished the game not fully complete yet but man this story and the gameplay to me GOTY. That last section dear god my heart was pumping like a madman. Now to complete all the side mission and getting Enigma. After that going to do New Game+ played all ready 20 hours and keep doing those challenge maps i love them.
Forgot to say this,still a better port then AC and looks phenomenal with a nvidia card, one of those games put to good use with PhysX it just added a extra layer of a big city coming alive.
Finally finished and went back through the thread.
My guess would be:
With Rocksteady taking Batman to next-gen, WB Montreal will next turn their attention to a Suicide Squad spinoff built upon what they learned making Origins.
Initiation will follow Bruce's efforts to prove himself to Kirigi, the ninja that taught ninjitsu to both Bruce and his enemy Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins. Initiation will be the first event within the Arkham series to use a setting outside of Gotham.
I have to say I was overall happy with the PC version in terms of bugs. I had two crashes in my complete playthrough. Not great but certainly not a disaster. Otherwise I didn't have any issues. Oh besides maybe the fact that my installation discs did not work properly, so I had to download everything from Steam. XD
Prolly not. My game froze twice at the bridge and corrupted my save each time. Putting auto save in an unstable area...brilliant! I've had numerous other freezes but the game never auto saves anywhere except the bridge thank god.

The auto save feature I hate. It does it way to often, and when its saving the FPS plummets. I always stand still waiting for that shit to go away before I glide off into the city. If it doesn't get another patch, I'll try and finish it casually, then trade it in. No where near polished as the rocksteady games.

Nope, don't worry too much about it.
It's rather obvious and gets revealed not so far into the game.
Oh god, thanks a ton. My copy just arrived today from Newegg and you just saved me from a ton of aggravation. I've had a really bad year with spoilers... I've had GTA V spoiled to me (I still have finished it yet), Bioshock Infinite, and Far Cry 3 (I know, the last two didn't come out this year but I didn't play them until this year) to name a few.
Yeah i was up to 19 hours or so when i finished the main story, but i never did all of the wanted villains missions. I have plenty still to do, but it was funny still having a "bounty" on my head despite the story finishing - clearly i should have done the missions while the story was stil; in progress, now it is out of sequence.

Well, the ordinary thugs still think that Black Mask is the bounyman. And since he is not in jail, they may think that they can still get the money. Or for that matter, a mob boss like Black Mask is not restricted by being in jail.

fight, and I am having a great time. I'm doing every side activity I come across first before I go to the next story mission. It actually made me a bit OP early on as I unlocked all the melee armor very quickly. Anyway, I'm really digging the story because rough ass Batman is dirty and I loved the
twist that the Joker was Black Mask.
The music and atmosphere are incredible. No glitches outside of one freeze during a challenge map.
At this point, its my favorite Arkham experience. I hope it keeps getting better.
Experienced my first real glitch on the Wii U version this morning. I was clearing out the network relays in the Diamond district, and died after getting #9. After I respawned it still appears on the map despite not being there. Hopefully this didn't break the quest progression.
There's a post-credits scene. The OST is ok in this game so it wasn't a pain to let it play in the background while I did something else. But damn, I think this game beats out Splinter Cell Conviction for the longest credit roll I've personally seen.

I love the music, but yeah that's a lot of it to listen to!
If you just want to make sure you get all content, listen to the Jack Ryder show then skip the credits. You still get the post-credits scene if you skip. *beaten by a hair!
I had absolutely zero issues with the PS3 version glitch and crashwise and this was with the 1.02 patch. Even the Burnley Comm Tower worked.
The framerate was godawful at some points though and that was it. After I pulled a 92 hit combo, the stuttering got so intensely bad I thought for sure my PS3 was going to break. I literally had to pause the game for a minute or two and let everything catch the fuck back up before becoming only marginally better.
This is indeed my favorite of the Arkham games. The moodines, more aggressive enemies, angry Bats, the Alfred convos, the BATCAVE details, the Deathstroke and Firefly fights, Bakers acting, the Beethoven Joker scene. Everything was fucking glorious.
Hold the phone. I always use the Steam beta update, you're telling me I've been playing DX10 even though I have DX11 effects supposedly enabled in options? Haha, jokes on me.
EDIT: I believe I read that wrong, DX11 works fine in the Steam beta update, it just has issues and may not launch? I played last night with Steam beta, will try when I get home.
Just finished this. I absolutely loved the Fire Fly fight. But the quick-fire hint was just plain wrong. It told me to press the left and right trigger simultaneously but shit didn't work, and I thought there was something wrong with my controller. You actually had to press the right trigger twice. They need to fix that and a LOT of other things
I also somehow got the rank 15 shadow vigilante thing without fulfilling the requirements. I'm pretty sure I didn't achieve a x15 variation when I unlocked it. Man, this game is buggy as hell.
Anyone else find the predator missions easier than the fights? It's like the complete opposite of Arkham City.
Thanks, I found it on Steam Forums shortly after my post, forgot to update here. I just opted out of the Steam Beta, restarted Steam, and all is well.
The other bug that I experienced (which totally sucks) is that I finished the Worst Nightmare Challenge of finishing a predator encounter while being unseen, let it save, then quit. I started it back up, and that challenge shows incomplete, and no matter how many times I do it correctly, it is not giving me credit for it anymore. :-/

Not really worth it. The skins don't have much of a chance to shine since there's barely any close up during fights (the camera draws back so much you are barely able to notice any difference) and aside of some Most Wanted missions all of the narrative parts of the game are shown with pre-rendered cut-scenes (even more then Asylum and City). There are so many back and forth from in-game engine sequences to pre-rendered videos that I would almost (almost) suggest people not to play with alternative skins.
The character looks awesome, the skins look awesome, and contrary to what is shown in its very promotional trailer he has lots of new animations LOL. The Robin motions are still there but very few in number. I think that once the game got bashed for its cut&paste animations they removed a lot of Batman attacks from Batman and a lot of Robin attacks from Deathstroke.
Last but not the least, Deathstroke 100 to 1 map is A BLAST! That's one pack I would recommend to get. Only sad thing is not hearing him go "you're getting annoying" from time to time.
So yeah. Haven't chipped in too much around here, but I'm loving this game. Think I'm probably about 50-60% through the story, can't remember exactly what it was from the stats.
The Joker just met Harley for the first time and I'm about to go back into the city as Batman
I've actually been a big fan of the story so far and I've liked the FMVs. I think I prefer Origins over City, though I do tend to get a little excited, and perhaps some time after I finish the game, I'll change my opinion. But I think for now I'm AA>AO>AC.
I do think the series needs a shake up though, as the general gameplay is merely a small evolution, which isn't particularly bad, but I don't think they can get away with it again. I've enjoyed the changes there are though and I've really liked most of the bosses so far.
So yeah, nothing too insightful to say at the moment, but It's a good game in my opinion and probably deserving of better scores than it's received.
At least it's not as bad as AC3. There's a game I genuinely thought I was beta testing. Mission markers never appearing, locked out side missions, npcs disappearing, crazy sounds, wonky animations, missing characters in conversations and the megaton of graphical glitches that spark throughout.

I've seen a shocking lack of polish on a number of Ubisoft games over the years. They're fairly inconsistent for that. Assassin's Creed 3 definitely took the cake though.
Im playing through the game for the second time now....The camera is one of the biggest culprits for making combat in this game feel like a cluster fuck. Good god, it seems to go out of its way to not show you who is about to attack and turning off the "camera assist" doesnt seem to do jack.
How they messed this up so bad when it wasnt even an issue in AC is beyond me.
Has this game been patched on the 360 yet? I'd like to go back and mop up the Riddler stuff and other side quests but I don't want to risk losing my save.
I'd also like to see if they fix the Deadshot glitch.
Here's a nice glitch for the Wii U version: Just beat the game and now I'm back on the streets cleaning up my loose ends. Except whenever I get to the point where I can "interrogate" a suspect I can't. He gives himself up but I get no button prompt and nothing I do will let me finish him off. Before the end of the game I never had this issue. WTF.
I unlocked it a couple of minutes ago. Like you said, it was definitly over 20, but since I got it, I am ok with it.
So far I also very happy about the fact I didnt run into any bugs or freezes in about 15 hours of Gameplay. Still, every time I start the game I am afraid I lost my savegame, to often I heard about the corrupted savegames.

Check for random thugs on nearby rooftops. I had that happen too, turned out there was a gunman on a roof that was considered part of the mob and once I beat him I could do the interrogation.
