Batman: Arkham City

[SOGESNAKE]

I'm about 73% into the gaame, I know the end is coming, but I've been wasting ALOT of my time in the sidequests...


But gotta say, I'm loving everything that came with the Collector's Edition, mostly being the art book and the Official Soundtrack that came with it. Gotta say though, probably the highligt of the soundtrack is...

Spoiler for video:

And the artbook. Loving how they put the game in the BACK of it, instead of it by itself in the little shelf thing that had the figurine on it. All in all, I liked the Collector's Edition~

But,but BUT!!.....Doing and getting as much as you can while playing through your first playthrough is what makes it fun, just like it did for Arkham Asylum. To each their own but I could personally NEVER play through a game just to rush through the story and get the extra stuff post game unless they're THAT much of a hassle.

They are that much a hassle, especially when you're already sleeping only two hours a day from your workload as head of the sales department for a company. I've cancelled some (unimportant) dawn meeting sessions to play this.

Anyone have an issue activating their PS3 code for Catwoman, mine refuses to activate. Considering the game came with the PS3 I just purchased from EB not 2 hours ago and both were unopened before I got home I'm getting quite miffed.

Anyone know if it is possible to play the game and add the key later and do the missions then? I'm leaning towards it not being possible because if that's the case there is no point to me starting to play.

Spoiler for video:

I certainly agree. Especially since that song sounds heavily reminiscent of the kind of style P!ATD had in their freshman album, which was the pinnacle of their career. It's a cool track.

Man last night I almost suicided because this VR training mission was soooooo aggrovating >< 4 rings you gotta glide through after divebombing down into the subway area.

My Catwoman code for the Xbox 360 has apparently already been validated... I was disgusted when Warner Brothers pulled this online pass bullshit with Mortal Kombat and it's even more disgusting in this case. They advertise Catwoman as a major part of the game for the last year and than make her an online code and DLC for second hand buyers. I always buy my games new but this increasingly common practice is something that needs to die.. and than they go and fuck up things for people who buy the game legit.

I like how they act like 10,000 cases is small, also how they act like everything this has affected has already complained and their sold clearly ='s shipped so you'll have a staggering amount of copies with fucked up Catwoman codes still sitting on shelves.

Good shit Warner Brothers.

I just realised I got this for free from buying an nvidia graphics card.

I haven't played Arkham Asylum. I hear it's pretty good.

It's on Steam for 10€ at the moment. Should I buy and play that first?

Asylum is about 1/5 the size of City, and is a bit easier (except the damn Croc Arc). It's great for practice.

[DingoEnderZOE2]

Just beat the game, faster than I thought because I overestimated the games length and amount of stuff you had to do to get everything without a guide. And my goodness, not a bad story at all. Bravo rocksteady.

Spoiler for For final boss and ending:

Honestly I would have of saw the final boss coming at all but it also made perfect sense. I was ALSO quite shocked about the Joker's death and I found the cruel joke even more surprising. The irony that Batman Would have saved the Joker despite everything if he didn't have doubts in Batman's overall character and not assume the worse which ended up dooming him in the end,

Yeah it's a definite knock on. My Key did eventually activate though, at about 8:00pm, which is probably just past midnight in the US and the PSN updated itself (since prior to that Arkham City didn't even show up in the catalogue).

I totally agree the setup they used was completely stupid. Catwoman was touted as being an important central part of the story, it should have been included by default. With all the problems I've heard people having it really is a pretty pathetic showing. But TBH I think day 1 DLC's are completely stupid anyway. Anything that is day 1 should be in the damn game to begin with.

Yeah the figures are nuts. I'm really not impressed over all, which is a pity cause the game itself is great.

Pity I'm away this weekend, should have brought the thing with me so I could play it on the hotel TV. Ahh well.

Here's a puzzle for you guys, in the game take out the Cryptographic Sequencer, then tune it to these three frequencies:

500, 900

200, 500

700, 500

Each will give you a sequence of numbers from 1 to 26. See if you can decode them.~

Spoiler for The 3 number sequences for those who don't wish to get the numbers themselves:

5-15-9-7-21-18-18-14-3-5-24-15-12-7-22-3-10-5-13-9-22-3-8-25-26-15-16-25-10-15-11-25

3-20-26-18-26-16-24-1-11-4-24-9-3-8-5-2-12-18-6-16-7-11-3-10-17-5-13-4-21-8

9-23-9-12-12-18-5-20-21-18-14-2-1-20-13-1-14

BTAS Costume even Catwoman is BTAS

If only PS3 was made in the era where DLC is not yet invented....

[Tyabann]

So, uh, who is the person saying that number sequence? Scarecrow?

[SOGESNAKE]

Just thought I'd point out 2 things for the game about Croc and Scarecrow...

Spoiler for Spoilers?:

- You CAN meet Croc in the game. On your way back from Raal's place, take the long way back (past the Grundy poster), and you'll have to flip a switch with the batarang to get out. Just before it hits, he'll bust through the wall and you'll have a talk.

- This is probably a Scarecrow easter egg... but if you go to the boat under the two cranes over on the right side of the map, and pull out your Cryptographic Sequencer and it'll lock onto something. Hack it, password being "CityofTerror", and the boat will open. Inside you'll find a dead inmate, cockroaches everywhere, and what appears to be gas in the room~

Managed to grab some videos demonstrating both.~

Spoiler for Killer Croc easter egg:

Spoiler for Scarecrow easter egg:

And it's been left out of the video, but something else happens if you zoom in while looking at the corpse. All I'll say is refrain from doing so if you're weak-hearted.

[Shinji103]

Bah, now I'm stuck on

Spoiler:

the Riddler side-quest. Early int he quest, the next step is marked at a spot right next to the church the quest starts at, ina lower alley on the other side of a fence. I go in there where it's marked by the Bat Signal, but theres nothing there. What the heck do I do?

[Chaos2Frozen]

Alright! Finished the Main story and majority of the side quests, once you get used to the flow of things it doesn't seem as overwhelming as it did at the start.

Spoiler for What's left:

Just need to find Deadshot, a mysterious masked stalker, an identity thief and a couple hundred more political prisoners.

Riddle and AR training can go to hell -_-

Btw, how do you solve the Riddle puzzles that require multiple pressure sensors?

My suspicion is that you have to hit them in a particular order, but I can't say that's ever worked out for me.
