Loving it so far just met in **** GraysOn .

Nice!

Yea, you can access it from the main menu of the game.

It turns out it's also got the scarecrow stuff and the skins, so pretty much a regular edition + steel case for the equivalent of $50, new, believe it or not, that's a deal here in MX

It's updating right now, I was planning to get some work done ahead of time..... Guess not....

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Fun game, but

Spoiler:

I found parts of the story very predictable and The Joker being part of the game was unnecessary, imo. I found him and Harley annoying. Also, the part where you have to fight all the Jokers, reminded me of Agent Smith against Neo in Matrix Reloaded

still a good game.

I like this game but

Spoiler:

I was made to believe that all the villians were going to come together and kill batman in some elaborate plot. They are just off doing they're own little thing while the only ones who are working together are two face and penguin and Arkham knight and scarecrow. All two face is doing is robbing banks and all penguin is doing smuggling guns. I just thought they'd have some sinister six type team up to go after batman but I guess not.

Who made you believe that? I always had the impression it was Scarecrow and the AK.

Okay right to the point I give the game 9.0/10, I gave Asylum a 9.5, City 10 and Origins 9.0, just to let you know where I stand and now on to the why. Don’t click the spoiler tag unless you’ve completed the game 100% guys or don’t care about spoilers.

Spoiler:

While Arkham Knight has its faults I still find t to competent and well designed. The story isn’t the best in the series but then the first two games were written by Paul Dini who has more than just a little intimate knowledge of our dear Dark Knight. I do like that they gave the Jason Todd, “Death in the Family”, story their own spin as these games are their own canon and do not exactly follow the comics or the animated series. That said, it was predictable and was called early only to have rocksteady lie and say it was a new character because, hey, who’s gonna say, “yeah, you got us”. I did find some parts of the story a little off putting, as someone else said, an army basically invaded Gotham and the only people to give a crap is Batman and the GCPD, that’s a bit far-fetched even for Comics, of course the city is basically abandoned but I have time believing the State and Federal Governments would just let someone invade a city. I also see a lot of people complaining about the Knightfall protocol, however this has been hinted at in the comics, as a contingency, and the Animated Series Episode “Over the Edge” as something Batman is prepared to do. He’s full prepared to sacrifice his personal Identity as Bruce Wayne to continue the mission. No one said Bruce is dead, but he has left that identity behind. Now, for those that got the full ending, you’ll see a new Batman, who that could be is pretty much left up to the player to decide. It could be Azrael, as the one side mission would have you believe, it could still be Bruce, however with the Knightfall name I’m inclined to believe the former, which also leaves this open for either Rocksteady to return to Batman in the future, or allow someone else to continue the story and even allows for a return of Bruce Wayne if the new Batman is indeed someone else, much like the original Knightfall story.

The Batmobile, was there a lot of it? Absolutely and I expected it. Some think it took away from the game play, I on the other hand like it as a new edition and was glad to get to use it so much. After all, as we mentioned before, it’s an invading army, believable or not there’s no way Bruce can combat such a force without this vehicle. I also think the side missions, Bank robberies, Arkham Bases, Man Bat story, and others, give you plenty of the game play from the games previous to this one. So I’m not going to complain that the main story used the Batmobile too much.
Overall the design of the city itself is gorgeous. It’s a stunning world and I’m glad we finally got a full Gotham to play through. The fighting feels good, just as it has in the past and the gadgets work perfectly.
So with all that said, if this is indeed the final foray into the world of Arkham then I’m fine with that. But I have no doubt that this isn’t the last Batman game we’ll see. I imagine either a new series of games is on its way, or some sort of continuation, although I really hope if that’s the case it’s handled with as much care and passion as these games were.

For anybody that knows the answer (I googled it and most places seemed full of spoilers, so screw that)

What are the requirements for the real ending? I know it says 100%, but what is that?

- Riddler trophies
- Side missions
- Challenges (AR?- do they need to be beaten with the max score possible? Etc)
- Upgrade everything? That does not seem possible so far IMO.

- Is there a part in the game in which you CAN NOT go back and find/do everything you need to get that ending? I'd love to know how far in the story that happens, and would also appreciate not reading any spoilers as to what that section IS. I just wonder where and when that happens.

Thanks!

See when you go into the missions, and it gives a percentage to all the side missions and main story and then an overall percentage? The Overall Percentage has to hit 100%

Also, after the main story is complete they give a chance to go finish all the side missions before the game ends.

I just finished all of the watchtower, checkpoint, and mine Most Wanted missions. Suffice it to say, I'm really disappointed by...

Spoiler:

The fact that Deathstroke is just another cheap tank battle. I hate those "battle mode stealth" sections. I like battle mode, itself, but the sneaking around and then running away stuff is so tedious. I hated both the AK vehicle battles for the same reason, and, seeing Slade come back, I was all excited, because, for as much **** as I give Origins, that game had some awesome boss battles, so, for it to basically just be the first AK boss battle, reskinned, and relocated to another section of the island...yeah, that was a disappointment.

 

[GasparZizou]

I'm loving it so far, this is Batman taken straight out of the comics, the immersion level in the Arkham games has never been higher.

I'm loving the presence of you know who, it makes everything way more fun.

 

[ironwez20]

Who made you believe that? I always had the impression it was Scarecrow and the AK.

In the trailers when ivy said " it started with a meeting everyone was there and we wanted to take you out and goths would be ours".

Even in the very first trailer they had all the villains working together.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah but I remember the trailers main baddie was always Scarecrow, then came the AK and it turned into a duo, I never got the impression it was going to be the Origins plot again.

Played for 3 hours in the afternoon, stopped to do some work, worked for 15 minutes, played another 2 hours, stopped, been trying to get some work done....

Can't focus.... I'm going back in! Sit tight Jim!

I very rarely feel like this anymore when I play videogames, love it!

This game is engaging from start to end, hence why people were a lot more critical on nitpicks and shortcomings. And boy do I have a ton. But I still like this game.

I think that speaks to the whole series. These games are tough to put down and honestly that's something I hadn't really had in a game since....well probably since the Genesis.

 

[GasparZizou]

So far I have no complaints or nitpicks, not one.

Loving everything, including the Batmobile.
