You can skip it.
But what if you miss the scene after the credits?
It goes straight to that scene. No need to sit through the credits.
Thanks!

Sit long enough to hear the Jack Ryder show. Then you can skip.

Time to take on Worst Nightmare. I hope you can use the skin online .
You can restart during worst nightmare, so unless you get super cocky it shouldn't be an issue.

Huh.. What? I thought i was halfway through the game. I have 25% done. Damn...
Should've waited for a steam sale...
I'm playing on pc by the way. I was wondering if this bug could've been introduced by the patch released today.

Regarding the scene, what does it mean? Is the woman supposed to be
Angela Waller? Setting up the suicide squad?

Woah, so we might be getting a
suicide squad game at some point?
Holy hell, that would be amazing.

I'm talking about how you come into City a actually -encounter- Penguin, Black Mask, Two Face, Joker, Hugo Strange and probably a few more I'm forgetting within the opening sequence of the game.
I rented the first game and enjoyed it until I finished the story, but missed Arkham City. Gathering the collectibles in Arkham Asylum wasnt important to me. Is it worth going back and playing Arkham City or just skip it and get this? Arkham City is only 20 dollars now, so that is why it is tempting to give it a try.

Gah, the
*really* sucks. The shitty camera angles, awkward controls, and the overall feeling of "we made this in 5 minutes".

It is worth it to play Arkham City. Take your time with it and explore the nuances in the combat, gadgets and traversal mechanics. Do the first four AR gliding missions ASAP once they're available.

Yeah I did that one yesterday, extremely disappointing. Like you said, weird camera angles which results in awkward pathfinding and controls. Sometimes it's very unclear what you're supposed to do or where to go. The part with the

Absolutely play Arkham City. It's the best of the three, in my opinion.

Man the combat was a lot more challenging and intense in this compared to the previous two, they clearly didn't want to give you any breathing room when enemies are prone down. I loved it.
I completed it and I will have to say that it was a solid experience over all and a great introduction. Troy Baker deserves applause for really capturing the Joker to the core and Roger Craig Smith really brought more emotion out of Batman. Good cast. The bosses I felt were better executed than the previous two and the near final end had great pacing.
I did love the Arrow Easter Egg. I kept thinking on if they did a Green Arrow game in this kind of vein with Oliver Queen and how that would be played since that would be all kinds of awesome to see these studios fleshing out other DC characters with this kind of template that has been built on. They have such a rich list of characters and potential to make some stellar titles.
I am really stoked on wanting to know what Rocksteady has been cooking up with all that extra time on their hands!

I had no issues on PS3 except having to quit and relaunch a couple of times to solve frame rate issues.

Those Deathstroke gifs...kinda disappointing the fight took place indoors and not outdoors...

You only get an achievement for completing I am the Night mode, nothing more.
Yeah I expected to see that cutscene play out in boss fight form in the game. Shit, I even expected another fight after the first one given the focus on Deathstroke in the media running up to release. What a missed opportunity.

There should've been
a follow-up predator room style fight in that shipping container area where you're both stalking each other interspersed with straight up fighting.

Yep, was fully ready and expecting
to fight him again on the top of the ship but nothing apart from some Anarky guy rambling about bombs...

Man really, I was amazed at how many unique assets were in that one sidequest. Unless they were from previous games or something.
Make the DLC and we're even WB!!!

Totally agree dude, that part especially was terrible! I finished the story a few days ago and was hoping to get some more side stuff to keep me occupied after the story.

I just finished it, did everything except a few of the scanning stuff and Dark Knight challenges. Overall I liked it, and I agree the story was the best of the three. I liked how they
However, the combat was extremely frustrating, to the point where I have to wonder if my game is glitched or something. Which things hit and which things didn't often seemed arbitrary, and as many have said the camera angles are abysmal at times. While the glitches and some of the other less polished elements could be frustrating too, the combat was what made it less enjoyable for me. I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I hope something can be done in that regard, because I'd be much fonder of it without that. The other big thing they really need to tweak are the challenges, one shouldn't have to start a new game or NG+ just to complete all those challenges. Even have one room respawn enemies!
Despite those frustrations, I do think it'd be cool if they did other prequels in the future.
explained why Bane is a dumb brute in the other games, though the downside of that is we'll never see cunning, mercenary-leading Bane again in the Arkhamverse.

Anyone?
The side stuff is pretty bad in AC too. Batman locks Bane in a cage and blows up his titan storage, like Bane can't break out of a cage? The Mad Hatter side mission is just fighting random wonderland goons, and I can't even remember the other ones

I think it's a bug but i thought i would post here to be sure - i died during the
section of the game. When it reloads the checkpoint it loads the first few seconds of the room i died in... but when i get control of Batman this is my point of view: http://i.imgur.com/rhVdLaJ.jpg
With Rocksteady/WB's trickery in the past (particular with the console going offline moment in Asylum) - i was wondering if this was indeed a bug/glitch or part of the game ?

Over on the official forums the community manager said they expect the patch on consoles to happen "this week" and that they are rushing it through. So it sounds like tomorrow. For what its worth I just started my PS3 play through tonight and have had no issues. The patch does fix most of the game destroying bugs including the tower glitch, falling through the world, etc. Already live for PC.
My amazon copy included Deathstroke, even though I didn't preorder, to my delight and everything redeemed correctly including the one million costume. I was worried after reading horror stories from people on the official forums of codes not working and costumes not appearing. I actually tried Deathstroke first before I started the story to get a feel for the new combat. I loved the opening to this game, I wish AA/AC costume looked like this. The music is aces, reminds me of TDK/TDKR score.
