[ALL] Batman: Arkham City

[Twigg4075]

Pretty much everyone else has but I'm only about five hours in.

 

[Twigg4075]

Ok, so how do you know which riddles correspond to the riddle "brackets" on the map? I can't seem to find any correlation?

Also, I'm trying to rescue another Riddler hostage. I'm standing right on the icon but there is no hostage in sight? WTF?

Sometimes this game is more frustrating than fun.

the Hostages are hidden in warehouses across the city...

entrance to these warehouses are hidden behind collapsible walls, these walls have a large spraypainted question mark on them and prompt a button icon when ur near them

if youre on the icon, just look for the giant question mark..

Ok. I I definitely saw a large question mark on a wall there but figured it was associated to a trophy in the same immediate area. I used detective vision but didn't notice any breakable walls? I'll check again.

So, what about the riddles themselves, the ones that you have to scan for things in the environment? I know when I'm near one because I will see one of the bracket symbols, but how am I supposed to know which riddle corresponds to it?

The riddles are the same as the original game. They show up on the screen when you enter an area. Usually it is something pretty obvious.

No they aren't. The original game was more confined and had way, way less of these damn things. When I pull up the riddle screen there are like five or six rows of about ten riddles for each area of Arkham City. Not only are the areas not marked but how do I know which one of the two or three actual riddles (not just the trophies you need to find) correspond to the bracket icon I'm standing near? Then the game also doesn't differentiate between levels or floor of a building. I was searching for one in the courthouse for a while until I realized it was in the basement near Calendar Man's cell.

It's just a pain in the ass and not very intuitive.

I stumbled upon this the other night. It's pretty freaking awesome. I was especially intrigued by the Harley pregnancy speculation.

Can't wait until they announce their next one.

Can't wait until they announce their next one.

I thought they did, and it was a prequel where Batman first encounters Joker.

It's just a report, but who knows what's what.

Yeah it definitely seems that that will be the next game. I'm just hoping that it's officially announced sooner rather than later. Maybe a launch title for next gen?

I really hope not. I don't want to have to buy an overpriced system at launch.

Unless the next gen doesn't come out next fall, I don't see it any other way.
