The reason that flying and gliding around Arkham City is because it allowed you to travel far distances based on the size of the map. Outside of a few various Riddler Trophies, trying to get from one island to another even with the advanced Grapnel Gun can be quite tedious in my opinion. I felt the same way with Arkham Orgins, especially with that ing bridge in the middle so the Batjet being able to drop you off at various places was a welcome addition. In my opinion, the Batmobile serves the same purpose and then some. It offers an alternative method of moving around the map, at times in a much quicker manner than otherwise PLUS it being used as a gadget in multiple different formats. There were various times when I found myself getting frustrated with some of the Tank Fights (especially the ones where you have to sneak up behind and shoot them in the back). However, I don't know of any other games that can suddenly shift the gameplay to that of a Third Person Shooter (my preference over First Person Shooters) I don't think anyone who doesn't like the Tank element of the game will ever change suit, and I don't see myself switching sides either. To each their own. But perhaps my perspective is altered because I honestly had no idea that the "Bat Tank" would be featured in the game. I loved the previous three games, but only followed this one loosely because I knew I was going to buy it either way. The only question I ever had was if there would be a Season Pass or not. So for me, it was not only a total surprise but is a fun gameplay element that I couldn't imagine the game without.

I dont see why people hate the Batmobile so much. Is there a lot of fighting with it? Sure but the object of the game was that the Arkham Knight was bringing in an Army/Militia to bring down Gotham. Did you expect him not to use tanks? Were you really wanting Batman vs a field of tanks? What was he gonna us a batarang on a tank? There's still a ton of "fist fighting" if you just cruise the streets looking for thugs. If nothing else I enjoy being able to get from point A to point B quickly with the Batmobile instead of having to swing forever between buildings. Only the usage and when they created the battankmobile they then had nothing to shoot so they then went deeper in the dirt and created a uninspired original lol character AK to then justify tank battle and apc chases . This filler replaces any real story ! Oh if you want BS story you then have to purchase $40 season pass and defend this they even put Deathstroke the worlds greatest assassin in a tank as a boss battle . While its not a horrible game its totally a fail for the end of the trilogy as RS seemed to let success go to their head as the took unnecessary chances with little chance of reward and making a gadget a lead character and using it as a mechanic is a huge no no in video games and the story has no flow or pace .

I think people are forgetting they've previously made 3 other games. I actually give them huge props for trying something different this time around. I can see how it might not be for everybody but it would've been lazy for them to do the exact same thing over again. Obviously nobody wanted BAC 2 but that being said you dont totally abandon what made the arkham series so successful and thats the feeling of being the batman which this game sadly misses do to having to be the battankmobile in what seems over half the game and theres no real boss battles unless you count the tank . And that makes the game impersonal as bigger isnt better as this game has no personality and most tank battles after the first few times you get it rammed down your throat becomes boring tedious and a chore and even reviewers who loved the game mention its overuse but I agree its function is fine .

Finally! I got the last two trophies - I was having major trouble with this one. I tried to unlock it with at least 8-10 hours of attempting it. (5 hours straight this past Monday night from 11pm - 4am) and about another 2 solid hours this morning. And I was livid because my count kept restarting whenever I tried to dodge. Finally my wife got tired of my ranting and said maybe it is the controller. (Which of course I dismissed) so after she left the room I swapped the controller to the one I purchased last month and I unlocked it on my second try. lol Yeah Arkham games always wreck my controllers trying to get trophies in combat rooms as I just switched out my left stick but now my directional buttons are now not working on the north direction , either way congrats Paul as Im 3 trophies short of platinum and no way will I go for them as I just put the Battankmobile game on feebay

And I am not sure but I think Batman can take them out with a fully upgraded disruptor. I know he can take out the large guns in the checkpoints. But they should have had half the amount of tank battles and much more predator levels. I mean who was financing the manufacturing of all these tanks and troops for the Arkham Knight? All I can think of is Lex Luthor with all the presence there was of him in the game. (Buildings and answering machine message)

Oh youll love this there is a easier way to get the brutality 101 trophy as you should have used the Gotham Knights AR challenge as its duel play as NW has different moves and gadget so that adds up to 5 so basically you only have to get 10 with bats after the basic smoke cleared Still cant believe you did it ? I rather poke my eyes out then do that

I used the Nightwing map. Switching to the Duel Combo takedown was my 15th variation. But I didn't think they funded him. I just thought they backed Scarecrow. Still all they super villians in the game could have funded all those tanks.

I'm at about 75% through the story (took a few weeks off) and I'm loving it. The only part I don't like is the Batmobile fights against the big tanks you have to sneak up behind. I'm on one of them right now, gotta take out seven and my goodness is it frustrating. Everything else though is great.

Its alright if you can get them separated but they all bunch up and you cant get one without getting hit by the other. You literally have to hit one and then when AK sends them to investigate you have to take off through the city and work your way back to them.

Its also in the comics but I didnt write this rubbish Sefton Hill and RS did Lets make the gadget a forced part of the game ?

I might have to try that when I get up to that point on my next playthrough just to see what they do.

You can also use the 60MM Cannon Cobra Lure upgrade if you have it. If you do you can stay in cover and as a cobra is coming towards you fire you cannon to another spot and the cobra will turn to the spot to investigate. Then you can come up behind it for the kill.

here's to hoping for a Batman Forever Batmobile skin and race challenge.
and as far as story based DLC, I'd love to have one be catching Joker prior to taking him in to Arkham at the start of the series.
Or to find out what happened with Mr. Freeze.

Man-Bat scared the crap outta me too. Trying to glide down and catch him wasnt very fun either...speaking of which..Catching Firefly about made me throw the remote through the TV numerous times. I would get right up to him where I could jump out at him and he'd hang a corner and when Id turn the Batmobile Id end up steering it right into a ing wall or off a ledge and would lose him.

It took me the first three firehouse chases with Firefly to realize you couldn't stop him until he ran out of napalm. lol once I realized that all I did for the final one and all of New Game plus was drive normal just keeping him in sight and when his meter dropped to empty I would just thrust up to him then and take him down. But the first three chases I would use my thrusters non stop wondering why I couldn't stop him right away. lol

Finally the last AC challenge star. Getting the third star on Slumdog Billionaire was a major pain in my @$$!

What system? On the PS4 version on the game select screen it is in the bottom right corner. You can click on it to purchase it. And seeing you have the pass it should be free. It's also in the PSN store. But once you download it it should be in the episodes section.
