Batman: Arkham City - Page 7

This is what I found out from playing for 3 hours and without help.

For the Riddler's missions, you have to go around and interrogate the green criminals to reveal Riddlers secrets. This will put "?" question marks and "[]" brackets in the area where the criminal is patrolling. What you gotta do is solve the puzzles indicated by the "[]" and solve enough of them to trigger the clue for the next hostage. You will know when you have solved enough puzzles when the screen comes up with the two gears with words in then that you line up to answer Riddler's question.

I still have no lead with the Identity Theft mission.

That's cool...thanks...I have been chasing the green guys for a while, and have been solving all the "?" and "[]" per area. (trying to eliminate all in an area, before I move on to the next...) Right now, I have approximately 1/4th of the map completely cleared of the "?"... guess I'll start the bracket areas...

Anyone else agree that the guys on the roofs should fall off if you glide kick or throw them when they are near the edge?

Also, what's the secret to getting a "perfect" score when you scale buildings and such as Catwoman?

Batman doesn't kill.

You have to do each jump exactly when the little icon flashes.

Oh yeah, good call =]


I will try it out. Thanks!

For the identity thief you have to stumble across the victims. If you have completed the story mode you should be able to look up a video on YouTube showing where on the map to look. Go and there should be a body. You may have took around a bit once there.

Did that already and there wasn't a 3rd body where it was supposed to be.

I just played this game for the first time this past weekend, finishing it in three days.
While it looks fantastic and was fun to play I was disappointed in the size of the game.
I think it's the "Skyrim" effect, where all the sandbox style games feel small if they aren't as big as Skyrim.

I don't know what it is but for some reason I get this feeling as if AA was more hard hitting than AC. The ending was a disappointment and the boss battle was a joke (no pun intended).

I thought AA had a better story, but I do like all the extra side stuff in AC.

I DO agree...
In AA, you had the "Ring Out" bonus, on maps that had ledges or railings with a drop off...I was severly disapointed in AC, when the baddies hit a virtual "wall" and came crashing down on the rooftop, or upper floor, etc...

Call me a noob but I was able to complete the Identity Theft mission last night. For some reason I thought I had found the second victim but it wasn't. The guy in a hoodie with bloody hands was not a victim (who may have escaped or whatever) and I ran into the 2nd victim by accident while going around solving Riddler's puzzles. After the 2nd victim was found the story progressed and I was able to go on and find the 3rd victim.

Almost done with all the Riddler's puzzles and hopefully it will unlock the location for the 4th hostage.

I completed all the Riddler's puzzles and I think I have to collect enough of his trophies to trigger the 5th victim's location. Once I complete Riddler's mission all I would have left is the Augmented Reality missions, which I am not going to complete.

After that, onto Catwomans missions.

How far is everyone on this game?

I feel I am right around where you are at...(albeit less Riddler challenges.) and only showing about 66% complete.
I have done all the fighting challenges, and some of the stealth challenges...I bought the DLC for the extra Fight challenges, and the extra suits...(I can get a good geek-on while smacking around baddies as Frank Miller's DK! And Batman Beyond!) those are a blast!

Dang, you are hardcore!

If there is going to be another Batman game then I hope they incorporate his Batmobile into the game somehow and have destructible environments where you can bash enemies into the wall and break them and etc.

There were rumours of an Arkham World game, but considering how AC ended what story would truly be left to have a sequel ?

I probably wouldn't play Arkham World if it ends being an open world mmorpg kinda deal.

You are right though, I can't see a sequel from this series either.

Well...AA is the ONLY game I have completed 100% I am not sure I will get to that on this one, but it, for me, has TONS of replayability. It gets a little boring finishing the side missions, when you are actually finished with the game...(no objective...), but I can break it up with challenges.


I think a new game, would have to be a new story. (You know Joker can't be dead...) But give me a new (story) nemesis... I LOVED that you had to battle other baddies in this one, though... The Mr. Freeze storyline was awesome.

Yes, and it involved some thinking too instead of simply "dodge and attack"

They totally skimped on the boss battle and it caught me by surprise too because I didn't expect that to be it.

Azreal sets up the plot for third one in this one.

That would be sweet. I kinda wished he was an unlocked playable character in AC. Kinda like how Shiva was in Streets Of Rage 3.

In any case, if there is a sequel to this game then I am pretty excited. I have a few more action games to pick up and finish after this one and hope fully I will have enough to carry me over til the next Batman.

Going to start Infamous 2 this weekend. I loved the first one!

I finished Riddler's 5 hostages storyline and I am still at 75%. Now all I have to do it finish collection trophies and rescue more hostages and then confront Riddler.

Once I figured out the secret of solving puzzles to collect the caged trophies, it was a breeze. I cleared left half of the map last night because I was just going from one trophy to the next. The secret is using your gadgets and sometimes the combination of your gadgets to solve puzzles. Doing this also taught me that the zoom in feature is good for something. I may just end up finishing this game 100% and then go back and play AA and finish that too.

100%

I love the game. The combat challenges are fun as hell.

Congrats! I am going to have to check out the combat challenges too but I am getting impatient because I want to start on Infamous2 and Ninja Gaiden is coming out too this month!

I have collected almost all of the trophies but there are a few that i can't find and there is one that i don't think I will have the patience to acquire. It's the one in Industrial Park where you have to glide into a long tunnel and maneuver Batman upwards while gliding to break through the ceiling. It's the same place where you do one of the augmented training.

No, I think you can bat claw up to that one.

What?! ...how? I tried the batclaw but it doesn't cling to anything. Were you able to do it the same way?

If we are thinking of the same one, there is a little train on the tracks that you can REC. Doing so moves it under the breakable boards and you can stand on top of the train and gel the boards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pYWrPvhYoA. I think it shows the trophy somewhere between 16 and 16:30 minutes in.

Mind effin blown! I feel like super n00b =(

That was a toughie... don't beat yourself up.

There were several I couldn't figure out had to look up.
