Make that three votes for "wait for cheaper GOTY version". It took me an hour or two to get into it and it IS fun but I don't think I would have picked it up right away if I hadn't had a bunch of reward certificates.

Nice to know. I definitely want to play this, but with the 250 bucks I need to drop on RB4 and the 100 I need to drop on the Steam Controller/link I'm going to be tapped on funds for awhile.

Man, I can't believe that one thing happened about...45% or so through the main story. Maybe it was a fakeout? I hope. I think I'm running into the wall I usually hit in these games where I'm trying to do all the side mission stuff but I haven't progressed the story far enough to unlock everything. Like where the hell is Azrael? And why haven't I seen another mutilated body in a while? I've maxed my gliding so I'm soaring like a mofo.

Azrael will always be on rooftops. 1 on each island. 1 in the middle slab of land with the statue.

Founder's Island Az is almost right next to the bridge.

The mutilated bodies are a pain in the dick, almost as much as the bombs. I had to get online guides to help out for those.

Thanks for the responses. I don't/can't impulse buy anymore but I'm a sucker for a few things. Batmeng is one, but I can hold out for a GOTY version

Yeah, I like the game, but I should have waited a bit.

[gravedigger]

I've come around on the Batmobile quite a bit. But I still forget about it so it's nice that SPOILER will eventually give you a hint if you sit for too long at a stopping point.

After Ace Chemical was where it turned around for me, too. That felt too far into the game for it to hook me but maybe that's because as soon as a world opens up, I go around looking for all the side missions right away before trying to move the main story forward.

[Anderson]

Yeah, it took me quite a while to get into this one. basically after the Ace Chemical stuff. But I just don't care for the combat as much. I think Mordor does a way better job with it actually. Batman just has too many gadgets and such and I am constantly confused by how to use things.

What killed me about the game was the forced dependence on the Batmobile.

Yeah, wait until you find the GOTY edition for like $30 or $40. I beat the story today. Zero desire to dig deeper despite the cool stuff that happens post-story.

[Anderson]

So.........is it worth the moolah?

Oh...no.


I'd wait until it hits 30. Fuck, I'm waiting until end of year for the DLC. I know that XBL will burn it off fast.

96%.

A handful of Riddler Objects to find and I get the real ending.

[Anderson]

85% completed. I have 1 bomb left, 3 watchtowers left, a handful of Riddler missions, a side story and the last main mission to go.

  Spoiler: Spoilers 

I dig that the serial killer stuff was tied to Professor Pyg (Grant Morrison characters represent). Such a bizarre design and personality to include in the game.

AZRAEL handled way better than last time and his side story was easy. If you're missing his last part, visit the little island in the middle of the map. He's always there.

Also, getting some of these last firefighters is getting insanely difficult.

And! When you beat enough of the militia after Arkham Knight leaves, Deathstroke returns to take his place.
