Arkham world up next!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol.

I noticed that Arkham World reference too. Hopefully Rocksteady can write Hamill a big enough check to return as the Joker for one final round (

[Show spoiler]I know he's supposed to be dead, but if they inevitably do another game, he has to show up at least at the end.

After the toss the scripted away, Joker said "Spoiler alert".

Fine with me to have another game in the works.

I finished the rest of the Predators today (I had Top of the World, the Subway one and had to go back and grab one medal on 2 other maps) and did the first Campaign. I'm not a fan of it, its too redundant.

Best way to finish it easy and sort of fast (took me 5 minutes today, first try), when you first start,

[Show spoiler]swing over to the third ledge (2nd if you don't count the one you start under). Batarang the guy there. This will cause 3-4 guys to show up if you did it quick enough. Freeze grenade them (one medal) and then shock the jammer guy into one of the others (2 medals). Then you can either 1) Disarm two of the guns on the ledge and wait for the jammer guy to stand up and get a Ledge Takedown or 2) Sonic Batarang him to take him out.

After that just swing around the exterior of the building tossing batarangs at the balconies to attract enemies if they aren't already there, freeze them (or smoke bomb) and takedown until everyone but one guy is dead and beat him down (3 medals).

I never had to enter the building.

Are the bat costumes worth the $5? I love the game, but do they make the bat look any more badass? Five seems a little steep.

I think they're worth it for someone who has a lot of the main story to complete. In my case, it makes little to no sense to buy them as I've already platinumed the game, and unless RS released story based dlc, I wouldn't get much use out of them.

Personally I think they were released a little too late to make them worthwhile for the people who bought it on release. Either that or I shouldn't have bought the game on release. Either way, even though I REALLY wanted to use these skins, I wouldn't get my money's worth at this point....

Yeah, I already beat the game twice. Guess I'll skip them for now and hope for an eventual discount.

I like them just for the Dark Knight Returns skin. I've loved that book for years and finally being able to play as him is awesome. I was a little let down by the Year One skin though.

The 70's suit is freakin' awesome too. For those two I think it's well worth the five bucks, but I've waited to go through NG+ with the skins so I'd get a good amount of use out of them.

Did anyone get the iTunes game?

Not yet, but I'm probably going to buy it to play on the plane this Friday.

I finally finished all the campaigns. Now I can play through NG+ and actually have fun playing the game again. I really hope the campaigns don't come back for the next game. I get what they were trying to do, but it got REALLY repetitive. Not just in having to repeat levels due to mistakes, but just playing the same challenges over and over.

Yes, And its cool. Not great, but perfect for my train ride to work.

The plus is that you fight against DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR!!!!!!

Although nowhere near as good as active or even polarized passive 3D, it's a definite step up from standard anaglyph 3D. I was surprised how good the 3D effect looks and the colours are a bit more accurate to the game than I expected (but still not quite right).

Although it mostly leaves the primaries intact, the colors are still altered just a bit (they all get a tad darker and yellow gets a little orange). My only issue is whith the whites. They become sort of pink. You get used to it and perceive everything that's supposed to be white as actually being white but you're never 100% convinced. Still, it's a great workaround for people like me that don't have a 3D TV.

I just wanted to add that I ordered the plastic Trioviz glasses from Amazon.com and they arrived today. I expected them to simply be sturdier and more comfortable than their paper counterparts. And they are both (although the bridge could have been wider and would have benifited from some rubber bumpers to make them more comfortable on the nose during extended wear) but I was surprised by how much better they look. Watching Assassin's Creed: Revelations was an eye-opening experience. The colours looked far more natural (as if I weren't wearing green and magenta coloured lenses at all) and the 3D effect was far more natural.

I know I was dismissive of this system when I first read about it but colour me impressed.

Anyone know what Patch 1.03 does? It just downloaded for me.

EDIT: It appears to be upcoming DLC coming this Tuesday.

Another pack was announced for release on December 20, 2011, containing the pre-order "Iceberg Lounge" and "Joker's Carnival" challenge maps, and a completely new challenge map: "Batcave".

After being mentioned in the GTTV Presents GameStop Unwrapped TV special on Thanksgiving, it looks like the newest location for players to kick the asses of Gotham's worst criminals is going to be the Dark Knight's innermost sanctum. A new DLC pack's coming on December 20th, which bundles the all-new Batcave challenge map, along with the previously available Iceberg Lounge and Joker's Carnival maps. There's not been a press release about the Challenge Map Pack yet, but Rocksteady Studios confirmed the date on their official Twitter account. No word on pricing yet, but expect it to be in line with the range of previous add-ons for Batman: Arkham City. We'll update when we learn more.

Realized I had $5 in my PSN account so I decided to buy the skins. Used the 70's suit for a couple rounds. Man thats one funky suit. Will try out TDR suit next.

If it's DLC-related, the patch could possibly add trophies, as patches are the only way to modify trophy packs after they are live.

[PS3-Playb3yond]

Have about 15 Riddler trophies left. Caught Riddler last night and closed the last case file. Next will be completing the challenges.

[BStecke]

The free Batman Inc skin looks pretty cool.

[Tyger]

It does look pretty cool, nice

Is there a way to skip the Catwoman sequences in the game+? I really don't want to play the Catwoman sections if I don't have to.

I don't believe so, once that Catwoman code was entered that was it.

My least favorite predator challenge was BY FAR end of the line Extreme.

I just hated having to use shock wave. I ALWAYS screwed that up.
