Boss fight isn’t hard, but since I’ve been playing most of the day, my hand was cramping and only made the boss fight harder than need be. No I didn’t finish it, because A: I needed a break, B: it’s getting late, and C: I have class tomorrow. Maybe Tuesday I’ll beat it. The Arkham games are starting to become addictive. LoL.

Ok, I have finished the fight today. But I am now surprised at how long this game is going to be if I had only completed 20% of the game. That means I might have to not only take my time on it, (unlike Asylum) but I also have to pay attention more to my surroundings. I have to tap into that Batman-Ultra Instinct!
I have finally finished the main plot to Arkham City, but this game isn’t over. I still have to complete the side quests, and discover the identity of this “watcher” guy. Please no spoilers. Amadeus Arkham was easy due to the voice acting but this might be a different mystery altogether.
I’m nearly done with all of the side quests. I’ve defeated Bane, Two-Face, Mad Hatter, Deadshot, found Nora, found Freeze’s stolen equipment, stopped all assault crimes, and I’ve put an end to Zas. Now I need find the identity thief, the watcher, and stop the Riddler. After that’s done, I’ll move on to the DLC content.
I’ve defeated Azreal and chased after Hush. 90 cases have been solved. Now I need to complete the Riddler’s challenge. But that’ll have to wait once I’m done with the DLC content: Harley’s Revenge. I MIGHT nab all of Riddler’s riddles, but I might either dedicate an entire day looking for them, or just collect enough for the last character profile. I’ll be back on a post called: Harley’s Revenge.
Okay this is getting out of hand. There's no need to make a new thread for the same damn game over and over again. Just update this thread. I know you're trying to get to 50 posts but you're upsetting the local populace. Just chill with the threads, reply to the ones you've already made.
This might take forever. Originally I was going to only do the riddles until I find all of the character Bios. That I did, but I’ve remembered that the last time in Arkham Asylum the riddles were easier to solve. In this one, they are fairly easy, but… I find them irritating and abundant. Not irritating in finding them, but irritating in solving them because they come off as Mario puzzles, and something that Batman might solve. Well, arguably some of them, but the rest are eh… and I hate that because NOW I HAVE to use YouTube as a cheat sheet. I did in Asylum, but only with the very tricky ones and not as much. This one I feel like I MUST. Ugh… this is going to be exhausting.
I may have to play this game some other time, simply because there’s this ONE riddle that is OUT of my league. It’s an unfortunate situation that I can not complete. I’ll just have to settle for watching a YouTube clip of someone else defeating Riddler, to which I can not. As for now, this is my last post on Arkham City.
The story is great! I’m glad that it has nothing to do with the Titan chemicals, but the consequences of the previous two games. I haven’t completed Knight Fall, but that’s because I’m still working on Ridder. I’ll explain that in a separate post. Speaking of other posts, I’ll go into further details about each topic and side quests! DLCs will come afterwards.
It’s honestly not the best. It’s the same game mechanics and puzzle based game like the other two. This time with the Bat-Mobile. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE that I’m using Batman’s personal tank! Then there are the individual boss fights that are good on their own, but for some of them don’t! So overall, the gameplay is consistent like the two other games, but feels like I deserve more entertaining boss fights.
It’s is bigger and that’s the only thing that makes it better than City and Asylum. In Asylum, there was chaos, in city there was constant crime like assaults. Which I now have to question the story. No, this doesn’t take away from me liking the story, but why couldn’t the villains close off the bridges so that no one could evacuate? Or better yet, why didn’t they evacuate the scum of Gotham to a different prison? How did Scarecrow made sure that the rioters weren’t evacuated? Some of these questions aren’t exactly answered, or maybe I’m forgetting something. Anyways, the world doesn’t feel empty which is good, and I like that the more bad guys you stop, the quieter the crime gets in Gotham. Just like in city, no more phone calls.
I really enjoyed every character in this game. They have a prison cell where you can talk to all of them, an evidence room, and their respectable profile sheets. The only problem with them is some of them have lackluster boss fights, and I’ve noticed that the 3rd game in the series had the least amount of creative boss fights that match their characters. I’ll go over each one once I talk about each villain in the game.
I did not expect a race track for the Riddler. It’s clever for the Batmobile, but not for the Riddler. It doesn’t help when the 3rd lap is nearly impossible! If they wanted a race track, have someone whose known for racing! Not ******* RIDDLER! This isn’t a rant, but a slight criticism. All of the other death traps are ok and those at least make sense. Just not, a race track. Anyways, the puzzles are great. I might talk about the puzzle hunt later.
Despite him being a literal disgusting pig, I found his case to be one of the more enjoyable than the others. It was an actual mystery. A murder mystery as well. This is what I really wanted from a Batman game. Something tells me that Rocksteady is not familiar with the concept, which is probably why 90% of all three games are considered as a puzzle game instead of a crime fighting game. Yes you beat up the criminals and stop them in their tracks — Ahem! Riddler! Ahem! — but at a cost of solving the room. I will say that it does also lean more into stealth now that I think about it, but again, Pyg’s case was a breath of fresh air.
I’m sorry. I didn’t about posting UNDER my own threads until now. So embarrassing honestly…
