I think there was another patch this morning when I logged in. That would put it at 1.03 right??

Yep, fast travel's fixed. Well, the video plays with no choppiness, but instead of looping to hide the load times now it cuts to a loading screen before you drop out of the Batpod. Solves the crazy drop in framerate when you enter an area but kinda defeats the purpose of the video. Not sure what else it fixed, multiplayer still freezes constantly.

Corrupted save file...Awesome...Definitely makes me want to keep playing...

Finished the first boss fight with Deathstroke. Epic fight! By the way, how are people liking the Batman/Joker statue in the Europe Collectors Edition? Thinking about picking it up if it's good quality.

Play it defensive; use the Batclaw slam and evade whenever possible, and, whenever you trigger the counter sequences, only hit the counter button when everything slows down.

I got him now thanks to your advice and a good night's sleep. This game has hands down the best boss fights in the series.

I just realised when people are mentioning the batpod they're actually referring to the batwing. I thought maybe I had missed something. Haha.

I really wanna get back on this game but I'm pretty nervous about it messing up and losing my saved game or something.

I've also just read through the art book that came with the special edition, some really cool stuff in there. Neat concepts and some good looks at the gadgets. Really love the design for this game and the whole Arkham world.

Just back up to a USB drive. If it gets corrupted just erase from the PS3 and copy back from the USB.

Just beat the game. I liked it and had only one freeze and no other major bugs. Story wise, did they ever...

Spoiler

say HOW Bane found out who Batman was? I don't think so but I wish they would have.

I don't think they did. When I played the original AA, I knew it was set in it's own Batman universe but I still thought they were referencing the post-crisis (pre-new-52) continuity as a "loose" history, especially when Batman said

Spoiler

"*This time* I break YOU!" to Bane...implying that at some point in the past, Bane had broken Batman. At that point, I just assumed that Bane knew who Batman was from their previous encounters, and true to his comic version, he had no interest in publicizing the secret, just breaking the man. I'm guessing they didn't want to explain how exactly Bane figured it out in the game universe (in the comics, he simply sees right through Bruce Wayne's public persona), because if they explain it, the next question would be why his brilliant mind didn't just figure it out again after he lost his memory...unless the Venom/Titan formula's memory side effects also fried his deductive skills.

I'm doing the same thing. Those enigma things are a pain as usual.

 

[Snadinator]

If it weren't for the constant lockups, I'd say this game is on par with the other 2

i haven't found them to be too terrible. ALTHOUGH backtracking through GCPD/sewers and the hotel was brutal. i got so turned around haha.

 

[Platty]

Seems the fans are saying one thing and the reviewers are saying another. I don't see the areas where this game loses 3, 4 on the score if it's basically the same as City.Though I don't have the game yet.

 

[Roc74]

Anyone having luck with multiplayer? Im always sitting in a lobby waiting for ppl to join but after 20 or 30 mins we still only have like only 3 ppl in the room.

Yeah I had to resort to watching youtube videos to figure out how to back and forth through them. I broke it down to each section on the map, and I think I only have 2 or 3 parts left before they're all done. I'm not sure how many of the Dark Knight challenges are left though.

Last week I got the US Collector set, and this week I scored the UK set.

The UK statue pi$$es all over the US one. Sculpting, paint, and design are all inferior on the domestic piece. I'll post photos later this evening.

 

[Remy]

Anyone know if you can use someone else's gamesave?
You can on Arkham Asylum...not sure if you can on this game.
I want to use the blackest night Skin badly but I give up on multiplayer.
Its always dead.

If you've already completed the story then you may not be able to....

Currently, you can only complete the Worst Nightmare achievements during the main story as once it's finished there are no more re-spawning predator rooms.
Sometimes you can do the odd predator achievement on rooftops, but none that require special takedowns through grates or vantage points.

There are actually a lot of people unhappy with this and hoping that WBGM will change it so that these achievements can either be made in the challenge rooms or so that predator rooms in the story mode will re-spawn.

 

[cokebabies]

The "you have to do things in a specific order to unlock them" aspect is absolutely ridiculous.

Since this game also included dreaded multiplayer achievements, at least I won't have the overwhelming desire to 1K it like I did AA and AC.
