Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
Congrats! I'm kinda jealous you get to play the first game for the first time.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
So I finished the story mode of Arkham City.
Very satisfying story and a few surprises.
I didn't like that a certain someone only had a small cameo. I guess they are saving that person for game #3, and I hoped another certain someone would appear but didn't.
When I finished the story mode I was at 39% overall completion, so I still have plenty left to do.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
Hey Reason, you played either Batman game yet?
In Arkham City, I'm at 65% now, with about 55/400 Riddler Trophies to go (and those ones will be a bitch).
I need only 1 more Catwoman Riddler Trophy (which I can't find, dammit) before I get 100% for her.
I'm assuming that most of the remaining 35% is the dumb Riddler Challanges.
I also discovered that when you replay Catwoman's story you can use the Animated Series or Long Halloween skins for her. Awesome.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
I think I am (sadly) ruined on console games. I was excited about the Batman games for all of about 3 days & haven't touched them since.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
After taking about 2 weeks off out of frustration, I picked up Arkham City again and I can proudly say that I have 100% of the main game completed - every Riddler trophy, physical challenge, AR training and whatever else.
And I only had to use the internet for the last handful of trophies, because I had no fucking clue how to do them.
Even with the main game complete, I'm still at 72% because of the fucking Riddler Challanges bullshit outside the main game.
There is some great stuff in the extra stuff, especially in the side missions, including one hell of a tease for a third game.
Now I think I want to go back and get the rest of the trophies in Arkham Asylum.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
The alternate skins for Batman were released a week or so ago and they are sweet: Animated, Year One, Dark Knight Returns, 70's, Sinestro Corps, Earth One and Batman Beyond (like the pic on the first page of this thread) - all for only $5. It is awesome, but it also sucked because you can't use them in the main story mode, as they were only usable after you finish.
But now we have this:
But now we have this:

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
Also, as a wishlist thing, I want a Batman movie skins download:
West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney and Bale versions.
Running through Arkham City as Adam West Batman would be hilariously awesome.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
Holy shit!! Azrael!! That was fuckin' cool! Okay. Back to the game now.
PS Some of these Riddler challenges are beyond difficult. I don't know if I'm gonna get 100% on those unless the controls become magically less clumsy further in the game.

Did you finish that whole side mission, or just the first part? I only did the side missions if I stumbled upon them and finished them all up after the main story.Rollo Tomassi wrote:Holy shit!! Azrael!! That was fuckin' cool! Okay. Back to the game now.

I had a bitch of a time with the last 10% or so of the Riddler trophies and ended up using youtube to see how to do them. Some of them still took a while to do.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
This game is so fucking epic, I can't even explain. Chris Nolan who? The music score is stellar. The number of characters in the game is crazy! I'm about 2/3rds done with the story and I've already beat up Solomon Grundy, Râ's Al Gul, and punched a shark in the face! That's right bitches, Batman beats up sharks in this game!! And all the crazy shit hasnt even happened yet. I finally had to call it a night after I beat up the Joker and then he dropped a building on me and Talia comes to my rescue, then it switched back to the Catwoman and Ivy story. Im almost done with the Bane stuff, except every time I started heading back to his lair, I got sidetracked with five other missions. DB, I'm not actually searching him out and only ran across him twice. The first time on top of the ferris wheel, and the second was right after I saved Vicki Vale from the snipers when Joker shot down her Newscopter. They showed the Mad Hatter for a second, do as soon as the cutscene with Vale ended I looked at the rooftops with the intent of finding Hatter and found mystery boy instead. I'm also trying to track down Zsasz whenever I come across a ringing phone, but some of those are real bitches. Traverse the entire city in 90 seconds? Yeah. Okay.
But seriously, I have no idea how they're going to top this.

It gets much easier once you finish the first set of the those shitty AR missions, if you haven't done so yet.Rollo Tomassi wrote:I'm also trying to track down Zsasz whenever I come across a ringing phone, but some of those are real bitches. Traverse the entire city in 90 seconds? Yeah. Okay.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
I did a couple of those AR missions. The place where I Really learned to utilize the dive capabilities was chasing Râ's in that 'desert' area.
I've also had a much easier time once I inverted control on the remote batarang. Flinging it through an electric charge and then guiding it through a building is becoming one of the funner challenges in the game.

Re: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City
I just. Finished. The Game.
Holy. Shit.
I seriously got choked up.
And then getting one last phone call during the credits. Wow. I'll never think of Patsy Cline's "Only You" the same way again.
