That is nice as well, I have been alternating between Azrael's suit and Noel.

I want that Blackest Night costume though. :love

or "The Long Halloween".
 
So I am the knight mode is a single playthrough without dying? But you don't have to do it all at once? What happens if you lose? Back to the first moment of the game?
 
I'm trying to stop a crime in each district and have one left. Does the bridge count a one of the nine? I cant get a crime to spawn here at all. Driving me crazy.
 
I had the same issue, waited around forever until I finally looked it up and read that crimes won't spawn there after the Firefly sequence. Someone said if you complete enough crimes in other districts it'll give you the 9th one anyway, but I've done a bunch and have had no luck. Terrible design to pad the length of the game.
 
I got this game on day of release but I've been so busy with work that I'm only at 14% completion! The last two installments I had completed within the week of release (within a day for AA.

It's nice to have the time to sit down and continue playing tonight, but a shame cos I'm back to filming again for 8 days from Saturday :(
 
I'm on NG+ trying to complete the Worst Nightmare challenges. I was attempting to clear challenge 8, which had you clearing out a predator challenge without using Detective Vision and without being seen. I did both of these things and was not given the completed challenge.

Anyone else have this problem?

I'm pretty frustrated by the whole Dark Knight Upgrade System. WB Montreal did a poor job of explaining how the system works, and then make it impossible to complete a lot of the challenges during Free Roam after beating the main story.
 
Picked this up yesterday but it's a Christmas gift so I won't be playing it until after the holiday. I hope there are some more patches released before then. From what I'm reading here, this game seems to have quite a few glitches. I bought Lego Marvel for the kids and that game is freezing up a lot as well. It's incredibly frustrating playing a game and experiencing technical difficulties. I'm hoping my AO experience is a good one when I finally start playing the game.
 
30/40 min of gameplay.... First total freeze. Restart Ps3. Delete profile. Waiting for a new update...

I'm on my second play-through and have done a few predator rooms without getting the mark for not being seen. Really quite annoying.

I also can't be alone in feeling that combat is wonky and finicky in this game? It's a definite step down after the fluidity AC had.

Yes I'd definitely agree. The combat feels sluggish and unrefined, and Batman seems a little too prone to attacks.
In AC, you could get at least 5-6 hits or more in a combo without the necessity of countering, but in Origins a lot of the time it feels you have to counter or redirect after every other hit.

Also weirdly, this only seems to be the case in story mode for me. In the challenge modes it feels a lot more (though not exactly) like the freeflow combat we're used to.
 
Just finished the game.
they kept the same elements from AA & AC which is good and fine by me. I'll gave it 8/10 I enjoyed the story and there was some epic scenes here and there. but Arkham City still one of the best games in this gen.

One more thing... the MP in this game sucks ***. Played one match and I'll never touch it again. idk what they were thinking.

I can't wait to for Rockstead's next game.
 
I'm a good ways (most of the way?) into the story - my next task is to

Track Bane's tracer, after confirming the body in the morgue isn't his

As far as gameplay goes, I've had a lot of fun, many freezes notwithstanding. Sure, the gameplay is a glorified DLC for AC. That's fine. I'd gladly pay a decent coin for more AC.

That said, much of the game is such a desperate ploy to stretch out gameplay time. The fact that the Worst Nightmare / whatever the other tracks are require doing tasks in order is ridiculous. Worst Nightmare itself just seems painfully annoying.

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm almost glad there's multiplayer achievements, so I don't feel compelled to 1K this game. Since a lot of the single player action is gameplay-stretching, I won't feel as worried about checking those off, either.
 
Was it ever specified how old Batman is in this game? Or even in Arkham Asylum? I'm guessing 27 since it's his 2nd year as Batman.
 
Finally beat 'I am the night' mode! :yess: Third time was the charm!

My heart was pounding during the first Bane fight on the roof of the Royal Hotel, but after that it was pretty smooth sailing thankfully!

It unlocked the Worst Nightmare Batman character trophy, but no playable skin though. I (and I think a lot of people) was under the impression there was a playable skin for this....
