What's the difference between them?
EDIT:
Sounds the same to me from that.

messed around with detective stuff yet? Heard there is a bit more than AC in terms of you have to go back to the batcave to do csi stuff too.

They look different
Apart from that
They sound exactly the same from a gameplay perspective, so people are freaking out there over nothing.

Does anybody know what the Cobblepot Packages or whatnot from the mobile game do at all in the console game after you link them together?

How are boss fights? Better than AC?

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Shit, I had a lot of fun with those in AC.

hmm, it's very linear until now. I don't know about going back to the batcave during these missions. Maybe later in the game?

It's pretty much the same but they are not well hidden imo.
Only had one boss fight so far. Nothing special, I will post some impressions after the next fight.

Launch trailer was nuts. I was getting a little worried because of the review embargo and all the skepticism, but early reports from players are mostly promising. As long as it's still a "good" Batman game I couldn't be happier. $37 on GMG so not a lot to complain about either way. Already activated Steam key.
Edit: I'm kind of expecting DX11 performance to be crazy shitty again, but I don't really care that much.

Are they actually little puzzles like city to obtian, or just pickups to find like in AA. I'm actually kind of more torn up about the lack of scan riddles, I love all the little references worked in with those.
Super excited overall though, all the stuff I'm hearing is music to my ears. Obviously I'll be expecting Rocksteady's next batman to be a real revolution, in terms of engine, features, story etc., but I am more than happy to get Arkham City 2.0 in just 2 years, with fresh environments etc. Exactly how I felt about Bioshock 2, and that was GOTF.

There's a full walkthrough on YT now if anyone doesn't care about spoilers.
From the looks of it, it took about 9.5 hours to finish.

Anyone get the PS3 version early can tell me if it comes with a code in the box for knightfall? Or is that preorder only?

What was his percentage when done? I guess I could do the AC story in that time, maybe even quicker. My actual playthrough last week took like...20-22 hours haha?
I'm at 26hrs now, trying to work towards 100%, at 76% right now. Riddler's revenge and new game plus are being chipped away at slowly. Finished everything in the regular playthrough though.
That's arguably one of the best parts of AA/AC. I'm assuming there's something in place of them to unlock the challenge rooms and other stuff?

Most of them are just pickups :/ Maybe all of them
EU version here but yes, kinghtfall code is in the box
@ Derrick: Yes!

Yes there are still collectibles to be found.

You guys know what would be awesome? If Batman was the one who shoved that beer bottle monocle in Penguin's face.

Beating up penguin was the most satisfying part of AC. So hope so!

Holding off on the console version until I feel safe enough that a next-gen version isn't coming but my Vita copy of Blackgate should be shipping soon.

They are not trophies now, they are various objects, it's the same shit, only that it's not a green question mark now.

I was. Fun distraction. Kinda getting bored trying to grind for infamous suit.
Do you really think that would be awesome Or are you just dropping spoilers out of a snarky discontent with the story?
I genuinely don't know
and apologies in advance if it is the former and I am reading too much into your comment.

Not sure, I sort of just skimmed through a few videos because I have no self control and wanted to know the plot.
As for as the main story goes, it certainly doesn't seem as dense with content as AC.
The big twist is actually pulled off better than I expected and this portrayal of the Joker is actually pretty awesome, although their interactions remind me way too much of The Dark Knight.

IIRC it was from an old bar brawl,not Bats. I think they went into it a bit in City in Penguins story files.
Alright I can deal with that.

It's the former, bud. I'm just speculating.
I really hope they nail the story, but the AC clusterfuck has me with lowered expectations.
Considering how heavily Nvidia has been using it to sell new cards, I'd be kind of shocked if they didn't send an engineer or two to iron out problems.
Speaking of which, I wonder if Nvidia folks are getting deathstroke DLC.
No worries then.
I just wasn't sure if you were just expressing general disappointment with the story or spoiling specific disappointments.
Pretty sure it's multiplayer stuff.

That launch trailer was awesome, could get this tomorrow afternoon, but will wait till midnight for those stupid pre-order bonuses.

Lol where are the boss fights?
Side missions are comparable to Arkham City (but I've only found three side mission characters so far so it could change)

So game is huuuuge then? how many assassins have you eliminated so far and what's your playtime?
please answer in spoiler tags, thanks.

Still can't decide if I should get this for PC, PS3, or Wii U...
AC's side missions were unbelievably shitty so that doesn't sound good.

I'm really not sure because you may fight some assassins a second time (I beat two of them). My playtime is about 4-5 hours. I did some side stuff, too.

I'm going Wii U/3DS, but I don't know which to play first. I know the 3DS version is a sequel to the Wii U version, but I'm more excited to try a nice Batrioidvania.
I'm one of those weird people that likes Asylum better than City too...

I dunno if this has anything to do with it, but the 8 assassins aren't all a part of the main story, some are a part of side missions, that's according to Eric Holmes.

Watch you just fight all the assassins at once in the end. Get full combo for achievement!

Someone in this thread said he watched a walkthrough and it ended 9.5 hours in, don't know how many side missions that person did though.
