Thats just so wrong I dont know where to start.

Opponents with knives will kill you if you just spam counter.
Opponents with shields will kill you if you just spam counter.
Opponents with stun batons will kill you if you just spam counter.
Opponents wi....well you get the idea.

It was an exageration of the simplistic combat mechanics of the game. Anyway, I never found those enemies an issue because you can insta-kill them with the takedown or destroy their weapon.

Knight needs to be harder on its hardest difficulty.

You could turn off hints separately from the difficulty mode in City, that covered the counter icons.

Pretty sure I did that and I still got the icons. They only went away when I played new game +. I really do not mind the icons as long as they're only in normal or easy. It's not stuff I expect to see when I play on hard which in my opinion is around normal difficulty when compared to other games.

243 is still too many as far as I'm concerned.

They are a scourge!!!

It was ok in the first one, they were riddles or just trophies lying around.

But from City onwards, it was a complete joke, every roof top, hidden room in buildings, back alley, sewer, all had riddle puzzles involving loads of contraptions.

I know its a crazy fictional universe, but the riddler going around and welding all these things together in every corner of the city was a bit too big of a stretch for me. :pac: Seriously f*** those things!

As long as they're optional and purely for collections' sake I'm ok with them but if there's some combat moves or gadget upgrades of some sort locked behind X amount of riddler BS then that's gonna rustle my jimmies. I feel like they increased the ridder stuff just so they could say the game is a certain amount of hours longer in content. I completely ignored collectables in Origins because I was so burnt out with them from City.

^ I never decide where I'm going to buy it from until it's been out for a few days (for various reasons) but it's at that point that the non-preorder competition kicks up between all the digital retailers and I just go for who has the cheapest one listed.

Just thinking today, that I wouldn't really need to upgrade my graphics card to play this. I mean how much graphics processing is needed to render everything in green, yellow and red and highlight who's talking?

Does the premium edition include all that pre-order DLC (or will it eventually?)?

I have to say I'm tempted on playing in the Adam West batsuit from the start but its just a skin. The nightmare level looks like it could get a bit boring. I think Sony got a bit burnt whatever they paid for it.

I'd assume it'd also be like the previous games where the skin only becomes available after you finish the game.

Massive Batman fan here, and I'd nearly cancel my preorder and wait for this on the cheap. If I hadn't gotten it for a steal on Amazon that is.

I won't have time for it with The Witcher anyways.

I'm sure some white knight (see what I did there? :P) will come in and tell us discussing batman DLC in the batman thread is off topic....and defend these sorts of practices. It's par for the course at this stage.

Frankly, that chart is disgusting.

Of course it's on topic but, Collectors Edition stuff aside, 17/26 of the items on that list are skins and two of them are Challenge Map packs.



Now, if the additional single player story content is good and if I'm unable to buy it due to some exclusivity nonsense, then I'd be disgusted.
