Noted, you have to be hanging upside down to do the inverted takedown.


you dont have to, i did most inverted takedowns without, though maybe the range is increased when hanging.

Very early in the game (the first time you leave the batcave) you are going after the pinguin and get side tracked.

The first scene you drop a smoke pellet on some enemies, you grapple up on a ledge and see a enemy futher away holding a hostage. Im not able to do anything Confused dafuq :/


Waiting for your mini-review Smile

I like the game. Sure, it follows Rocksteadys Arkham formula by the book. But thats not a ba(t)d thing. It is a timesink for sure, i get distracted constantly. Im 4-5 Hours in. The novelty factor of Arkham City/Asylum is missing, but who cares, its another Batman game!!

I like that Batman isnt really known yet and only a shadow heard about in stories. The occasional "Omg he's real" random chatter is a nice touch. There are shitloads of challenge rooms to complete, too.




8.5/10 for now.

I'm 35% of the way through the storyline (forget overall) but have only encountered a couple bugs - the first being I beat Electrocutioner without even trying - dodged him then apparently one hit was enough to take him out


tbh i don't even think that was a bug but intentional based on the cgi scene and electrocutioner's goofy looking face when bat plants the boot in his face.

also, he recovers a few moments later based on the voiceover so there's going to be a proper boss battle later on for sure.

Yeah, I could be mistaken, it happened so fast that when it went to the cutscenes I thought it was a QuickTime event and hit the circle straight away skipping that particular scene. Clearly you must meet him later as many of the Riddler puzzles need his gloves.

I see no point in playing this thing till the TU's are up. Game doesn't save progress properly; for example: Do a random "Crime" thingie. Back out to main menu. Go back in. Random Crime thingie is still there. Same goes for the XP you earned from doing it.
To top it off, abilities aren't unlocking properly. "Free Flow Focus" Unlocked! Yay, let's go get it...oh wait, it's greyed out.

Bottom line (literally), clusterfuck.


Blame! don't act!

so far its my fav batman game yet.

just the sheer amount of villians makes up for any bugs or loose ends

also i hope its not a bug, i have been trying to do a level 3 predator which states: play through a predator moment without being seen once

now im pretty sure this means when ur standin on gargoyles and shit and theyre 6 dudes in the room with the guns, and u have to pick off each one queitly, yet iv done so, multiple times, even gave me a S rank yet it hasnt unlocked, and its very important to unlock this as it unlocks the sonic batarang, if this is a bug then i will shit all over this game.

It unlocked for me on PS3, with 1.02 installed. Dunno if this helps you.

its a 7/10 imo, so i dont find gamestop“s 6 too drastic.
you have to put it in the context, if this was the first batman game, i would give it 8.5, but if i actually paid money for this so i can basically play the same game as before, i would be pissed off.

I know right. Arkham series (still haven't played the new one) are around 8.5 range for me. Really solid games, but nothing mind-blowing to justify all of the 10/10 scores.

gamespot has a weird trend going on with letting this one girl reviewer, review big boy AAA games, the reviewer, forgot her name, last name is petite, also gave lower than normal rankings to TLoU and GTA V, and seems to get offended by the violence swearing and anything that has to do with sexism

people point this out and then gamespot just says were being sexist, it just doesnt fit to have a girl review a game about a comic book hero which is a total boy thing, and always has been, sure u will find the occasional girl that is just as into them as guys, but its obvious this reviewer is not. It looks like gamespot is just being lazy and handing off reviews to her so they can play more when the AAA games come out Lol.

oh and just to point out just dance 2k14 just got a 7 on there, 1 point higher than batman LOL the site has turned into a joke
