Finally finished the main storyline from AC. I only play a few hours every couple of weeks, so it took me a while. This is the first game I've finished in a LONG time.
Solid ending to a very cool game. The Clayface fight was fantastic ... particularly the sword-fighting second phase.
The ending was a bit vaguer than I expected, though.
Joker is apparently dead ... but it was a bit less definitive than I thought. After freezing Clayface and dropping him into the Lazarus Pit, Batman gets knocked unconscious for an unknown period of time. That was an intentional thing. They wrote in a blackout for a reason. Why? They could've easily skipped the blackout and had the scene play-out exactly as it appeared to.
After he wakes up, Joker is whining for the cure ... but, I think the vial switched hands while he was unconscious. Why wouldn't Joker have taken the cure or dipped in the Lazarus Pit while Batman was blacked-out? And, what does a Lazarus Pit do to Clayface? Is he dead? Immortal? Did Clayface climb out of the Pit, intentionally break the vial, and play sick Joker's death scene for the "role of a lifetime"? Or, was it exactly as it appeared ... Batman blacked out for seconds, Clayface is gone, and Joker croaked?
No idea ... but I thought it was more definitive than that. Not that vague is a bad thing. Vague leaves options. I wonder if story-based DLC might shed light.
Still, very cool game. 10/10. One of the best games I've ever played. Now, back in to finish the side-missions and Riddler stuff.
