Batman: Arkham City

I just fell through the map. Fell for ages and landed on a tiny black square in the middle of nothing. Just the snow effect still going and nothing else. Walked off the square and died.

Nabbed a Sinestro Corps skin from GameFAQs (some guy had a code to spare). It's much better than the Earth One skin.

I started a new save file so I could play the story again without having to do NG+ (I'll do that when the costume pack comes out). The opening to this game is great. Also didn't have Catwoman installed first time around, so I'll get to do her missions in sequence this time.

Oh man, I missed the

Spoiler:

appearence in the church near the start last time. That's really cool. Saw Black Mask too.

Wow, there's so many little dialogues and scenes that I never saw the first time through. There's a line from Harley near the start that completely gives away the ending if you know what she's talking about, if you stick around to hear it.

You mean the bit where she says something along the lines of...

Spoiler:

Anyway, I was always constantly going up to every civilian you could talk to in an area and such, checking for every piece of dialogue(did the same in AA with the few people you run into in that as well). Did you ever check in the church late in the game where you can catch Vicky Vale trying to interview Sharp? You get some interview tapes after speaking to them too.

I saw Vale and Sharp in the church, yeah. There's a lot of random thug dialogue and situations that are story-sensitive too, set up so you see them as you progress.

So is it worth going for the 100%? The extra stuff looks pretty huge. I think it would have been better for most of that to have been in the story.

You mean 100% as in all the side missions and Riddler trophies? Yes, it's worth.

Okay, I didn't bother using it at first but the combo move where you insta-KO anyone who's on the ground is ridiculously powerful.

I feel like I'm missing so many little hints and easter eggs in this game.

Yeah, checked that out in the game ages back. Pretty sweet. There's also those radio stations with some guy bringing up numbers you decode. Basically they're all some form of messages claiming someone will be back(I assume it's Crane considering all the other hints).

I hope in the future more super duper secrets are discovered. That secret room with the Arkham City plans in AA were hidden for quite some time before someone discovered it IIRC.

From memory it took like a year and even then Rocksteady had to mention it in a podcast for people to start looking.

Six months actually.

If Rocksteady has any major secret spots to point out again in this one, let's hope someone finds it first(unless that ship IS the big secret place and there are no others...).

The Scarecrow thugs that show up during Protocol 10 are the latest thing people have found.

Yeah, I heard about that too.

An arkham city room?

I'm pretty sure i stumbled across that on my first playthrough unless i'm thinking of something else i found i wasn't interested in .

It was behind an unmarked wall that you had to blow up, and had a map of Arkham City on the wall.

Did none of you guys do the challenge maps? I need some reasonable scores to compete against. There's only one guy on my friend list that's done them and I'm miles ahead of him.

I'm playing on PC and I don't think scores are cross platform but to be honest it's probably better for your ego that way.

I'm not great at the games, but I was efficient enough to platinum Asylum. I'll probably get back into Arkham City after I'm done with the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament on the 15th.

Damn you and your PC Neo.

There's so many small details and hints about the ending in this case that you don't notice or put together on the first go. I love it.

I did the first set of Ranked Challenges (The freeflow) on the first page of them that weren't extreme. I compared the scores and you kicked my ass in score for the most part except I had like two higher.

I noticed this for my second go at the game.

The extreme ones ar easy enough apart from Funhouse Brawl. I was worried guns would show up at some point but they never do.
