The second half of the game really finds its own groove compared to the first half, where I was kinda forcing myself to play it. Now I had to force myself to stop!

The hype for this game snuck up on me with a quickness so I got the Wii U version today. I've played for a bit and it's pretty good! I do miss the GamePad features from AC, though. Strange that they dropped them, but it's ultimately not a big deal.
The sound is no fucking joke with my surround system, which is nice

I don't really pay attention to those kind of things but the game does run pretty well so sorry about not being helpful on that.

This might sound dumb, but I have no idea where I supposed to be going to advance the main story. I just left
The map says the main objective is to locate black mask, but there arent any indicators for where to go or what to do. i have about 15 of enigmas guys with markers on my map and thats it. Is that part of the main quest? I only ask because it feels like an extended side quest. I feel bad for being lost in a batman game lol.

Yeah, this game really steps it up after (mid game spoils)
This game is surprising me with how well the narrative is turning out.
the joker is introduced. I'm now playing through a simultaneous joker origin/adaptation of mad love. Really well done series of scenes, and troy is really shining as joker here. Very very pleasantly surprised that they wrote joker well without dini involved.

I wonder how the Wii U version compares to the others (360 and PS3). I played the first two on 360, but would consider going Wii U with Origins if there was compelling reason to do so. Everything I heard about the port of Arkham City was that it was pretty awful. :-/The hype for this game snuck up on me with a quickness so I got the Wii U version today.

Can someone pretty please tell me (who is finished the game or pretty far along the tech unlockd) I am trying to unlock critical strikes in combos but cant see where to do it. I suspect it might be in the tech tree as a "play the story to unlock" square but just want confirmation. Pretty annoying as I cant get further up the vigilante tree until it unlocks. For reference I am up to the point in the story where you are trying to apprehend

steel mill.
OK, for all of you that wanted a Mr Freeze style boss I have to say that they gave us one. It's the
fight and it's so good. Now it's not exactly a 1-1 thing, but it's the same idea in that you can't keep doing the same sort of things and expect it to work.
If you're on the PS3 there is apparently a faulty patch that is causing a lot of problems. Try deleting it. I found some bugs in the Steam version, but nothing that would cause a lockup.
I just finished and frankly the game was worth it for the story alone. It managed to cram a lot in there and it was great. My only complaint was I thought
would have been more prominent considering the chatter by Bane's henchmen.

how do i get out of enigma room? I went down an elevator, reached a deadend (seems like i need do stuff). but i can't seem to ride the elevator out.
There is still a few hours after that.
then why does it say 90%
then why does it say 90%
Because there's only a few story sections left, but they are fairly lengthy ones. It won't take you all day, but it's gonna be more than 20 minutes.

If this is your first Arkham game, you'll probably really like it. The biggest complaint about this one is how stale the overall game design is compared to Arkham/City, but you not having any familiarity with the mechanics, you should be good to go.
Thanks. Pulling the trigger...

Ok, I think I have a mission that just isnt popping up for some reason. Early game spoilers.
From what I read, I think I am supposed to go to a hotel and continue this series of missions, but there is nothing marked anywhere. I have no idea where to go.
It sounds like this guy was having the same problem, but he cut the video and restarted when he fixed it. No explanation for how he got the mission to pop up. I am getting super frustrated. Any tips on where to go or where this mission is at? Its a big city and impossible to find without a marker.

I have done the murder investigation where the guy gets pushed off building and then interrogated the guy that did it.

Now that was satisfying.

Just finished the boss battle with
. I'm fairly early in the game. That shit was intense. My hand's killing me. Died twice. But you know, despite the QTE heavy nature of it, I really, really liked it. It was just really intense. And fast. Pretty baller fucking fight. The first fight with
was pretty meh though. The "fight" with
was hilarious.
Really enjoying the game. The WB design for Bruce/Batman/Chris Redfield is a hell of a lot better than Rocksteady's, I think.

It's so anti-GFWL that it knocked GFWL out of the prior two games. So you're clear.
Yep I agree.
First bioshock, now batman. Everything is coming up FUCK GFWL!
I'm somewhat mixed there. I feel what we see of the face is worse, but the suit is far and ahead better.

Rocksteady is just not good at character and outfit design (Harley Quinn AA and AC outfits, Catwoman face, commissioner Gordon) that studio need to hire new artists and 3D modelers very badly.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
First impressions - Arkham City definitely started off stronger, and it was way, way, way, way more polished. With that said, this is definitely more Arkham and it so far at least matches the type of gameplay the Arkham games had. More Arkham is never a bad thing. The cutscenes so far though are way above par for even the Rocksteady games, so that is very promising.
As a caveat, I only used Arkham City as a comparison point because I feel like Arkham Origins is more similar to the point where I'm at than Arkham Asylum.
I'm still not very far at all though - I just

I think his face looks alright. The suit's pretty great. I do wish Bruce/Batman were leaner though. While he doesn't look like a steroid freak now, I think a leaner Batman looks better overall.
They should collaborate with WB to do the character design and narrative and stuff while they handle the tech and world and stuff, maybe.

took 6 tries or so. make sure to go free flowin' and attack guys with guns first naturally. The tricky part is counters because there are soo many enemies, but once you get a good combo going and reach x12 or w/e it is to go super speed (forgot its name), it gets easier. Focus on attacking guys with guns, get your counters. is doeable
Weird that there isn't an achievement or anything here.
