Where abouts? I know at one point it glitches up to 90%, then drops back down to 72%.
(Mid-late game spoiler)
And that Joker part after the Bane fight...so good.
After the hotel part. It was 52% before that.

The Gotham Protector I think. Hit shadow vigilante after a massive wall through the whole mid section of the game, before I realised I didn't even have critical strikes haha. Kind of disappointed the way the % one went, it just gave it to me after finishing the story, then checking and seeing rank 15 was only 66%, you'd think it'd be effectively everything to max that one. Just worst nightmare to go, I had no idea til the end that I would get stuck in terms of places to do it, so need to NG+
Not much!

Yep, thats the glitch. After you do the next objective, it drops back down to 70's.

Wow, you can actually unlock skins in the game and not DLC? I saw it on gamefaqs so it could be fake.
Just got the game in the mail!

I loved Arkham Asylum, it was my GotY.
I was very disappointed by Arkham City (did not care for the story (quantity of villains felt forced, also hated the ending), thought there were too many Riddler challenges, and felt the open world mechanic was poor with the GIANT OBSTRUCTION in the middle of the map).
Do you guys think I'll like this?

Is this true?

Gamefaqs user:
Well I have the Knightfall, Noel (what the fuck is Noel) and Adam West skins already. Plus the Dark Knight database in the select screen mentions unlocking a Dark Knight skin if you complete whatever is required.
Guess the rest sounds real enough.
My question is - is the Dark Knight skin mentioned THE Dark Knight skin from the Nolan film or something else?

It's true. I've got the Noel and new 52 skins already ha. I really freaking miss the batman inc skin though, my skin of choice in Ac. Liked the beyond skin every now and again too. Lucky his suit is amazing in this.
I have one more to find as well, and when I mark him on the map and go to the marker...he isn't there. No one's there actually. This is in the industrial district of the map, near the Steel Mill.
Anyone else run into this?

That's really cool of them. Miss the days of unlocking stuff in games and not buying them for even more money. I wish you could have done that with Arkham City.

Love it or hate it the progression system does make you feel progress. With maxed combat tree and shock gloves you mow people down.
i unlocked the noel skin upon beating the game. dunno about the other one, but i have all enigma challenges and will check later if that's unlokced as well.
I'd have loved to change my batsuit to the sam model but not broken. It's ridculous how many tears and holes the cape has and he can still fly. >_> it's more "nothing" than there is cape lol.

I do dig that his suit isn't really ripped anymore. It had sooo many blade marks on the gauntlets lol.

It's really awesome how they've made costumes unlockable, instead of just locking them all behind bullshit retailer-exclusive pre-order DLC, like City did.
I mean, there's still some DLC stuff, but at least the base game isn't completely vanilla this time round. Arkham City might have been the single worst misuse of DLC this whole generation.

Installing the game now. And ugh, you can't run the game at 1080i/p? I could with AA and AC. That's a bummer.

Also, I don't see a new patch on PS3. Don't download and install 1.02, right?

Hey Ephemeris, check if you have access to the suit in the Batcave. I cleared the Dark Knight System challenges but I only got the Dark Knight skin. Gotham Protector, Shadow Vigilante, Worst Nightmare, and World's Greatest Detective are missing for the Batcave.
Also, The Dark Knight suit is just the regular Batsuit only all black and with an orange belt. The damage you sustain throught the story is reflected on it but the cape remains undamaged.

It was like that with Riddler stuff in AC. Guess they didn't want/couldn't figure out how to have them actually tell you where all the crap is.

they should all just give batman a sim card, which is pretty much the only thing batman's gauntlet can read.

Go to the upgrade page and look at the auxiliary upgrades, each box should tell you what you have to do to unlock them.

Holy hell at dat opening. If the cutscenes are anything like this, I'm in for one hell of a ride.
Honestly, this is basically Arkham City with a new story and locations. All the other changes are incredibly superficial. For instance, instead of riddler trophies you collect "Extortion data" using identical methods. There are no Riddler rooms or environment riddlers though. Other side missions are the same type of thing... instead of Titan containers, you look for barrels of drugs to destroy. Instead of having to quickly reach a ringing phone, you have to quickly locate bombs. ect, ect...
That said the story is good, and the boss battles are one thing that stands above the other Arkham games... though I did feel that they both (story and bosses) fell apart at the very end, my guess is WB cracked the whipped and they had to rush it.
Hmmm... thanks for the input. I might wait for it to drop in price a little bit before picking it up then.

Man, this game is chock-full of bugs and glitches, it borders with unbelievable for me (and I thought AssCreed 3 will be the buggiest game I've encountered in last couple of years). As everyone else, I can't access Burnley comm tower, but hey, no biggie, I don't even use fast travel (even though I can't finish Enigma quest chain now, eh?). And, luckily, I didn't even have those corrupt saves. But wonky camera (just ruined nice combo after it didn't turn correctly when I countered blade attack), invisible enemy (just beat 99/100 enemies in that DLC challenge map, and last one was nowhere to be seen), wonky physics (enemies flying up in the air after getting kicked in the sewer challenge map), wonky grappling hook, and let's not even mention damn multiplayer, which I couldn't even access so far (PC version here), and I tried on multiple occasions. And add to that new skill unlock system which locks some skills behind side quests (ok in theory, but I didn't quite like it in practice; read as: I missed my weapon disarm move), and even worse linear trees for other skills you buy with XP points.
At least story was really nice, new enemy types too, as was the other new combat stuff. Boss fights were ok, but I was expecting more stealth boss encounters after WBGM saying they're inspired by Freeze fight from Arkham City.
In short - Arkham City is still the best. Origins is good, but more of the same, with much, much more bugs, less polish, and it misses that... thing, that magic that Rocksteady games have (especially City).

Bane fights were the best, imho.

I agree. The game is fun and def worth the $30 I got it for... however, the thing I love most about it is that it allowed Rocksteady to pump a ton of extra development time in the next game. We went from AA to AC in just two years of dev time, I cannot wait to see what we'll get with a proper cycle. That said, I would love to see Rocksteady use these character artists.

Oh yeah, I love character design in Origins. Joker is amazing, both look-wise, and voice-wise (Troy Baker nails it, and even Roger Craig Smith sounds great as younger Kevin Conroy). New Bat-suit, without underwear-overlay (or however that is called), is also better than previous ones, but it works here because origin story. I'd like if Rocksteady designed something more... dunno, rigid (?) for their next game. And, pretty please, leave Superman out of my Arkhamverse.
Stealth/bat-edit: and it'd be great if Bat-suit, or at least its cape wouldn't get torn to pieces like here. After completing the main quest, it was painful to just look at it :/ Few tears or bullet holes are a nice touch, but I think they went a bit overboard here.

This game has a lot more interior levels than Arkham City, which, in my opinion, are what made Arkham Asylum so good.

Played an hour. Love it. The cutscenes are really well done. I have yet to really explore the city, but it seems to run ok on PS3.

You know, I love Miiverse and all, but..sigh..

WTF am I reading?D=You know, I love Miiverse and all, but..sigh..
There's always someone.
And that person is clearly wrong.
I have about had it with the combat in this game. It is just too frustrating. This is coming from someone who absolutely dominated every challenge in AC.
But in Arkham Origins, I am sick of the camera constantly fucking me over by blinding me to the battlefield such that I can't see goons that I need to counter. Its at its absolute worst when trying to do a beatdown on an armored foe and can't see anyone to counter.
Its is also just plain unfair how quickly they require you to counter when you're in the middle of the battlefield and how far they can come across to hit you AND its the absolute most fucking annoying when you are in freeflow mode and then Batman jumps across the screen to hit an enemy from far away and another enemy manages to hit you before you get a chance to react to it.
Also when you come out of an instant takedown you will also have someone charging at you and can't even evade out of it.
I haven't reached a part I can't beat, but these problems really have taken the fun out of the combat.
I do hope they at least patch the camera and it would be nice if they gave some minor tweaks to the combat at least in normal and easy mode.
Here are some threads in other forums that highlight my frustrations.
