I finished Harley's DLC. It's short...but so awesome. A real highlight of the game

Red Hood's DLC sucks though.

I haven't even attempted the dlc yet, sounds kinda interesting. Though oddly I'm only about halfway even with the side-missions(48.5% to be extact). I'm on that final riddler race with the final lap and keep making dumb discisions on my turning...I hope that this racing like this never comes back in the future if someone else picks up the helm on this...someone else might be better at it than me but I just can't seem to manage to beat this last lap...I swear I'll beat this though probably playing some chrono or dkc in the morning instead...

The races suck, just driving the Batmobile for any reason in general sucks. It's the one aspect of the game that oddly seems far below Rocksteady's usual polish and quality standards.

The Harley DLC was a nice surprise. She has a cool infinite use gadget, some fun dialog with another character, an awesome "mayhem" mode which is basically like a super mode she can activate, and environmental stealth kills (which may be in the main game too but I haven't encountered them yet). And her version of Batman's "detective vision" essentially takes you into Harley's warped mind, which is probably the single coolest thing about her DLC. Her detective vision, or "Psychosis mode" is not only trippy, but puts an entirely new spin on her character (it actually re-contextualizes her well known origin story)

There were rumors they were going to do an open world Justice League game years ago. There are still unanswered questions and dangling details implied from various moments of the Arkham series that could be really fun if explored by characters like Flash, Green Arrow, or even Superman... just gotta to focus on problem-solving and storytelling to contain the OP characters like Supes and Wonder Woman.

God, they've over complicated everything, the combat, the stealth...and threw in a clunky Batmobile to boot

Sigh

This is worse than Origins

Good job Rocksteady :roll:

Well there you go, they fucked up Batman. Third time is not the charm

Could be even more worse.

Could be Batman Dark Tomorrow.

I need to restart Arkham City. Haven't played it in months and have no clue where I am or what I'm doing (as far as the gadgets go).

Oddly enough I never got the fact of the origin watching the 90's series, and oddly that's part of where she originated from since she didn't come into play until the 90's from the looks of things. Though I will agree with you on the races part of it though with that last one seems like you have to control your speed a bit, and heck I wouldn't be surprised if the side swipe helped but that's left for another attempt...and I think I went back to the other side missions instead before I went to sleep(got really tired of the riddler's banter, sounds of the crusher's, splashes of water, and the sound of the car exploding.

Or Superman 64(which that one proves why you never rush a game to release and I'm glad my parents never got that for me when I was younger)....though I feel like I need to stop and go play asylum and if i get city that too(I have asylum and origins but not city and haven't really played them since getting them)

Red Hood's DLC sucks though.

I didn't like it very much. It was too short and had no story. It finishes with barely a whimper and no cutscene or anything explaining what just happened. Lame. The psychosis mode is great though and really the only thing redeeming about the DLC.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
