WTF WTF WTF eekeekeek

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BAT CREATURE THING??!! Scared the crap out of me when I was grappling up a building!

This game is huge, isn't it? I'm about 6-8 hours in, and I'm still unlocking new mission types to go off and do. I suspect this is going to consume my life like a Skyrim or a Dragon Age.

One of the reviews I looked at suggested changing the controls to a toggle mode for that, so you don't have to hold the trigger in to transform it, not sure if that fixes the braking issue or not though.
Thanks fella ill have a little look into that then smile
I'm on PS4 and can confirm that changing the battle mode button was the best thing I did for the bat mobile control scheme. Transforms things and makes it much more intuitive. Bizarrely though you can't actually make the change until after you've dropped off Ivy at the GPD. No idea why that is.

Started this game yesterday and out a good few hours into it. Really enjoying it. Very nicely put together, great city design (love the verticality of the city) and absolutely huge.

So downloaded this for PC yesterday, all 33.3gb of it.

How any one said "yes, lets start shipping this" I do not know! What a pile of ste!

Running on a Dell XPS17 with an i7, 16Gb ram, 3gb nvidia card and off a SSD. All drivers up to date. With all settings set to low and 1280 by 720 it still runs like crap. Used to running stuff at 1920 by 1080 and high settings.

Have been trawing the boards to see what tweaks work and it is just about playable, just. but not that enjoyable at that pace.

No wonder I could by it on launch day for £14 off CDKeys.

Love the franchise, even Origins but gutted I now have to wait for it to be fixed and patched.
Look on the bright side, there is a good chance you'll get a chunk of DLC for free to avoid WB having to give refunds. The previous one was problematic on PC so I opted to wait this time.

Just purchased the season pass to download at home.

Fiance's out, so cowl's on!

You get to play as any of the batmobiles seen, including keaton's one and the animated series version....kinda excited!

Bear in mind that the ones I've seen just appear to be skins for the existing design. 60's Batmobile is just a few red highlights on the usual model for example. Might be different for the ones you've mentioned, but they have to fit it in with the gameplay mechanics after all.

That had me jump out of my skin too! Pretty cool side quest, that

Love how tough this game is. Spent a good 90 minutes attempting to 3 star a batmobile challenge earlier and although incredibly frustrating, it was also very satisfying. This game is excellent. Nothing feels like a grind, the story and side quests have so far been excellent and I'm looking forward to cracking on with it tomorrow. Although I do fear the main quest will be a little short judging by the percentage complete so far.

So glad it wasn't just me then!

For those of you a bit further on, prob about 70% through the main quest:
Watching the Cloudburst go off, and the gas effects on the streets was really impressive and right up there with that bomb in CoD for me in things I didn't think would happen. Getting a bit stuck now fighting the Knight's tank, I took out the six Cobras okay but his tank is just so quick once you've made a strike on the coolant lines, really hard to get away from his line of sight.

Still excellent, still can't stop playing. The whole issue with Batman and how he thinks (without giving the game away) is brilliant to watch evolve. smile

Very tricky game for a newcomer to the series but it is so rewarding to stick with it.

Well spending more time on this than Destiny at the moment as many have dropped it.

Lots to do on this and getting a little more used to the batmobile controls. But just a bit.

Well completed this now well 93% as i refuse to do the riddler riddles lol

Very very good story line and overall the game was fantastic!

Big let and disappointment was the Redhood pack and Harley Quinn pack basically added nothing and both took less than 15 minutes to complete each of them. So doubtful i will purchase the £32 download add on that ive seen advertised...

100% here, suggest you at least look up the proper ending, as it expands on the one you've seen.

Bought myself a PS4 (finally) at the weekend and it came with this in the box.

I have to say that so far, I'm loving it. Very detailed game, loads to do/find and the map seems huge.

Not a fan of the batmobile controls though!

Anyone else still playing this? I think it's fantastic.

So dark and moody. The combat is great and I'm used to the driving controls now. Love it.

I've just completed the Riddler side-quests, some of those were very tricky!

I picked this up the other day with one of the deals websites having the premium edition steam keys for a really good price.
Runs well on my pc & I am having no issues with the game so far (I have just over 9 hours playtime logged).
Some of the controls take a little getting used to but overall its not a bad game & storyline within the game.
Some bits of the game are quite tricky but it keeps my interest so far.

I've just done this bit. Thought it was fantastically 'produced'. Funny too.

Spoiler alert - this is about 50% of the way through the main mission.
