normal's pretty easy but some parts were challenging. It's way too easy if your enemies don't have weapons.

I just finished it, the ending was decent. I'd say this game is worth buying. The story mode has a lot of content and the challenge mode is a lot of fun.

Batman's dialogue is so fucking bad in this game. So bad. Everyone else is so good. But he is so bad.

Yeah, rentals usually ship in on Friday midday, so I'm going to go down to my old store and pick up a copy to rent.

They should have had it written by Grant Morrison. All Bats does when Morrison writes him is (a) threaten, (b) announce the answer to a mystery, (c) grunt something like "Hnf" or "Hrr" depending on if he's angry or laughing at a victim. Usually Superman.

So when's the PC version coming out? I kinda regret missing out on the Toys r' us deal.

The game doesn't look much better on the PC, even with maximum settings at 1920x1200. I tried the PS3 demo and was surprised to see that it ran pretty well, even with the constraints of the PS3's budget GPU.

Although the PC version runs at 60fps, it doesn't feel much different than the console versions since the combat is pretty slow and the game keeps doing dramatic slow-downs.

Btw, how do you do throw the enemies to the ground? The game says to press B+Y but I can't seem to get it to work.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #71 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:10:57 AM »

Well once you've upgraded your abilities to get the throw move, you still need to do a 8X or 5X combo if you have enough hand-to-hand upgrades. It's only useful against large groups really.

About Bane, the truth is that he was a tutorial for later bad guys.

Scarecrow was probably the best boss because he wasn't so predictable. However, Poison Ivy has the best ass model in the game.

bork · « **Reply #72 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:30:14 AM »

You guys weren't kidding about that Bane fight!

spoiler (click to show/hide)

His attack pattern was predictable, but the x factor was all those fucking henchmen running around. (It's probably no problem on normal difficulty.) Ended up doing what demi did and just ran in circles, with a lot of dodging, slowly letting Bane take out the henchmen himself before going after him.

The game has only been getting better with more progression. I'm really digging it now, and glad I restarted on hard.

Got to the first scarecrow part. Spent a lot of side time getting as many riddler challenges as I can once I got outside. I really like the collect-a-thon stuff. Good diversion from the main game which is fun on its own. Between the challenge rooms, the riddler challenges and the main game it seems like a solid length. I was surprised when I started playing today and it said I was only 3% completion. Now I'm 10%.

HORRIBLE FINAL FIGHT(S)

demi · « **Reply #83 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:48:27 PM »

There are 3 missable achievements-

* At the very beginning where you have to save the guards and the thug in the detox room, save them all (the guards first)

* When fighting a Titan & thugs, ride the Titan and knock down 10 thugs (easy to do, once you get on the titan)

* At the very end, beat up the thugs in the hallway (no spoilers but you'll know)

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #84 on:** August 28, 2009, 11:02:21 PM »

i dunno. maybe to do with the difficulty.

The challenges are fucking AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cause I want to throw something when I fuck up. You pretty much have to be perfect to a degree to get 3 stars.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #90 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:07:57 AM »

The stealth ones weren't that hard but the combat ones are tremendous bullshit. They require that you string together a combo for the whole round.

Yeah, the challenge rooms are bullshit if you are going for the 3 stars and with Joker they are extra bullshit cause he sucks.

I think I'm going to finish the game & all the riddler challenges before I attempt anymore. They are frustrating the fun of the game.

I think it's random. Each scene is the same. You either get Scarecrow, Killer Croc, or Bane grabbing the box.
