Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I hear it's buggy.

I fail to see how one thing automatically disqualifies another. Indoor segments are the fabric of the Arkham series. Arkham Island, Arkham City and Gotham City are just the overworld. Something to traverse and explore while the real stuff happens indoors.

Congrats! They all are!
I am running a GTX 670 (it is overclocked), stock i5 2500k and 8GBs of memory at 1920 X 1200 and the only framerate drops I saw were when I first opened a door and loaded into a new area in the ship. I do have vsync on and turned on physx and most of the other visual goodies. Only running 720p you should be having no problems.

Arkham Origins proves this to not be the case, no?
I feel like we've got a nice blend of both.

Calm down. When I buy this, I'M getting the PC version. I was just stating what I've heard people in public saying.

I'm pretty much saying you can't go wrong either way.
Damn. Could be that I just downloaded the new nvidia drivers, but I didn't enter the ship before so I can't say. Which ones are you on?

I keep wondering when I'm going to encounter my first glitch.

huge missed opportunity. you can freaking view batsuits in the cave, why not have different suits for players to choose from? Like default one is balanced whiles others skew more combat (longer counter windows etc) but is more shitty at predator stuff or vice visa.
besides the glitched tower in every version, only bugs i've had was 1 bsod, and random ai running into walls, but they were still killable with batrangs so just free kill
So yeah, its not super bad. i've played buggy games and this is on the low scale of that
!
...I can't believe I never realized that in AA and AC. I noticed the rips and tears but never thought about the obvious fact that he wouldn't be able to glide anymore lol.
its worse in origins.
At the end of the game, his cape is like a groviera, literally.

I've had baddies spawned into walls. Certain baddies not spawn at all and I've had the AI all just lock up and stand there. Hell even my character did that at one point. He glided down and then went into the walk combat pose and the controls locked up meaning I couldn't do anything but quit move around and restart. The whole time the AI goons just stood there and kept spouting attacking lines while moving back and forth and doing nothing.
So yea it has some pretty nasty bugs but they don't seem to happen constantly luckily. I do hope their first real patch is a huge bug fixing patch though.

I thought WiiU players were saying they didn't have that glitch.
I already found too many, it's getting annoying
Apart from the bugs i don't like the changes they made to combat system, it's frustrating when I can't stop a strike to counter and get hit by an enemy. Lacks predatorial areas, and there are no puzzles to resolve relevant to the main story, the detective mode is too easy, in AC we have to fly over the map trying to find characters like Mr.Freeze.
Overall is not a great game, but good enough to entertain.

oh ok.
I mean it doesn't really matter much in the long run. the game map is kinda tiny anyways. And there aren't achievements on wii u...
some weird trolling going on.

With all those bulky muscles, it's also impossible to somersault around the place, but he still does it.

Yes there are.
The game even auto-posts to Miiverse when you get one, along with a screenshot.
Like this.

he is not that bulky, it's just the suit that makes him look too big, especially the legs.
The narrow FOV is making me dizzy/giving me headaches. How can you do it?
a buddy is stuck in a mission (pc version) - he talked to some dude and a bomb timer went up. but he cannot complete the mission because he is too far away. the mission isn't canceling itself and the main mission doesn't start again.
is there anyway to fix this? can you cancel the secondary mission?

I'm guessing it's the Anarchy thing? Just tell him to haul ass

Nothing out of the ordinary. I have the eShop version so I don't know if the disc version is different.
Certainly nothing ridiculous like the Wii U version of Splinter Cell Blacklist.
what do you mean?

They do. It's just after you beat the game. I get that they wanted to suit to evolved as the story did, similar to the previous games. Showing how much of a toll the nights events effect Batman.
Ehhh, personally I like the suit simply being cosmetic. What if my favorite suit really didn't meet my play style?I would be bummed. They also kind of answer that though with having the modifiers you can select in the challenge rooms. Those that give Batman perks and others that make enemies more hard.
The Anarchy missions are timed, you just need to be fast.
I'd also like to know exactly what to edit in to the config.
Basically what you described sounds like an Anarchy mission, they're timed bomb diffuses from far away. All you can do is haul ass there, beat down the baddies and diffuse the bomb.
he tells me he triggered a later safe point and is now always too far away to reach it in time.

The book is actually pretty cool. I bought it for my girlfriend last year, and finally got to it myself a few months ago. Bermejo loses his analogues between the batman and scrooge stories a little throughout but the art is stunning. Surprisingly, I really wanted that suit in City, but I like the default Origins suit so much in thsi one, I wasn't bothered by Noel suit haha. I remember that Noel book if your in the christmas spirit though, lovely hardcover.

Then you make that suit work anyway, dammit. If this is the reason why all the suits are cosmetic I'd be pissed. Honestly what's the point of the costumes if they don't DO anything? Batman 1M for instance should have really, really long glide times and do more damage (since the comic one could fly), while Batman Knightfall should be able to fire Batarangs faster than normal Batman (since technically he should be firing them from his gauntlets).

There's nothing more satisfying than getting a Grade S - Apex Predator or Apex Vigilante rating on hard.

There's a couple at the pool, I remember that much.
You are towards the end, not a great deal left.
I agree that AC story is much more scattershot and is weaker than Asylum but at least the fiction of the game supported this looser story. Arkham City was filled with all of the scum of the city and their respective super villains so it kinda made sense if Batman randomly encounters Bane but yet this encounter has no bearing to the overall plot. Origins started out with a much better chance for focus as now their was an explicit reason these super villains were coming after Batman, yet it fails to keep this focus and it just devolves into random encounters with no real purpose to them.
And again, for all the problems with AC's story it was very well paced IMO, when you finally got to the end it felt like the end. That moment when Protocol 10 is activated and you stare out into the City as helicopters swoop in and bomb the place had direct impact, you really felt as thought the stakes had been raised. There is no such moment in Origins, you just get to the end. And, this ending makes very little sense as The Joker apparently takes over a portion of Blackgate Prison which robs the significance of Asylum since he's apparently done this before.
Origins really at least had the potential to really explore the origins of the Joker/Batman relationship and while at first it starts out as promising it really just dissolves into nothing. City on the other hand was the conclusion of this relationship and it did so perfectly.

What was the leaked spoiler twist that everyone was smh about before launch?

Playing through on new game +, mastered the deathstroke fight, got point counter point achievement without being able to see the counters . Man that fight leaves behind a lot of blood on the floor, didn't notice it the first time.
Pc version is fine, the majority of the bugs I've had are in multiplayer. Singleplayer runs pretty well, but a comm tower (optional quest objective) is bugged. There is a way around it but its really annoying to do. After seeing my cousin play his ps3 version, I'd say go with PC if you can, framerate is terrible on PS3.

Couple of months old. That could be it, might be an issue with newer Nvidia drivers.

Just finished the game. 56%.
Completed all the villain quests except for the engima data packs and one villain that I haven't found.
Loved it even more that Asylum and despite all the bugs.

Re-quoting this.
Anyone?
All you need is a USB stick and a program called Horizon. I would really like to test it with more saves before releasing it.
