Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

For those of you on a second play through, when you start the game over do you keep all of your upgrades and such?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Go as high as you can on top of the mansion. You should be able to get it no problem that way.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Nope, none of that carries over.

After you beat the game all you can do is continue on the game you beat with your items and upgrades and go back and find the hidden items you may have missed. That said, none of the enemies respawn, so it's a lonely trip back through if you missed a ton of stuff.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Game makers should stop this shit.

Being able to start a new game with all leveling and upgrades should be standard. I know I'm MORE LIKELY to play through again multiple times if this is the case.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Hmmm, I thought I did that but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Yeah I had no problem getting this, just jumped off the main mansion, and just floated down for a bit. It did not unlock until after I had landed.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

yeah I got it to work. Thanks guys.

you guys probably noticed this already, but I'm playing through again on Hard and I just noticed that when...

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I'm still on my first playthrough and I'm hoping to finish this up today or tomorrow...am I almost there (Need to be done before Beatles:RB Wednesday)??

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Yeah.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

There is a scroll on the title screen promoting free DLC in ten days, so it looks like we're on our way. :)

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Damn, I can't get past Bane on "hard". :(

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

fixed

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

That would ruin the pace of the game, though. There are many times where you cannot make it into certain areas yet because you don't have the right tools. If you started with all of your tools, you could go to places before you're supposed to in the storyline.

I did like that it is relatively easy to get enough experience to get all of the upgrades.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Yeah, and finding riddles and stuff like that give you tons of experience. For those of you just starting out with the game, if you spend some time early on finding as many of the riddles as you can you can upgrade much quicker than if you wait to do all of that until after you beat the game.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

There's nothing about the combat upgrades that spoil the pacing of the story, though. Even if you started the game with all combat upgrades (sonic batarang, remote control batarang, special throws, etc.), that wouldn't affect anything. You'd still have to wait to receive the explosive gel before the upgrades for it become available, and so on.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I don't think it affects the pacing and I would like that in the sequel, they let you have all your upgrades when you start a new game. If not, then add more villains or something, because after capturing the Joker, it gets a little bit tedious going around looking for the riddles and no one to fight.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I think I said this already, but just in case I didn't, how cool would it be if they added a "GOD" mode to the game after you beat it, that lets you play the game as Superman. Think of the possibilities. God modes make the game less challenging anyway, and how fun would it be to go around the island kicking ass. If they put the effort in to change the writing and have the story adjust to having Superman in it, it would be fun....

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Let's worry about getting a good Superman game before we try to tack him on to the only good Batman game as an afterthought.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

What...Superman 64 not good enough for you?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I don't think so. I'm talking about having fun with a fully leveled character after you've finished the initial game. If you're playing through again the pace is already off since you know where things are.

But ok, let's give you that one. How about this...After you finish the game, allow you to save with ALL upgrades but give you an "Insane" type mode where they also ramp up the AI?


And let's face it, unless you're playing "Batman Year One" there's no reason for Bats to not have most of his gadgets on him or access to them via hideouts and the Batmobile.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Finally found the time over the weekend to finish this one off - Great game. Loved it...and am relieved to have finished it in time for Beatles :)

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Are there any areas you can't get back to? I just finished the fight and I was brought up to the surface via cut-scene. I tried going back into the medical facility, but the elevator is down and I still have some riddles left to collect. Is this just something I'll have to wait to return to or am I screwed?

BTW...loving the hell out of the game.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I finished up the game this weekend. Starting to go back and get all the Riddler stuff. Some of the patient interviews are absolutely hilarious.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

No, you can go to every vital area after the game is over. You get tools that help you gain access to places that seem locked right now.

I finished the game last Thursday, and I'm now going back to getting all of the trophies/riddles/etc.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

...as long as you don't miss "Party Pooper". I think that's the only trophy you can miss during story mode without picking it up on the challenges, another pass after beating the game, etc.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I wasted those MoFos. GOt my combo up to 36, then some bastard got in while i couldn't counter it for the 40x trophy :(

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

"Party Pooper" is a PS3 Trophy / 360 Achievement. It's not a Riddler Trophy in the game.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

The Poison Ivy stuff was pretty annoying but other than that, great game. Love all the cut scene stuff.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Missed out on Party Pooper... when I was playing it late and got to that part, I was waiting for them to attack me but I kept walking, waiting for them to kick my ass...but they never did and I entered the door... of course, afterwards I read about this achievement but it was too late.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

No, it varies. I got Bane.

I think 36 is as high as I got too.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Yeah, I got

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Same exact method for me. I was shocked that they were "cheering" for me, so I thought it wouldn't be cool to kick them around the room.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Batman isn't a fan of irony.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Thanks Mickael. I'm loving the riddles, it just adds so much more to the game than collecting random treasures like most other games.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

Same here. I was thinking, "No way did I just go through all that to have these thugs jeer at me. Come here, ugly!"

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I missed that one. Was so pissed. I swooped in and kicked the hell out of the three outside guys before I could tell they weren't going to attack. But then was so startled when I walked in the door that I didn't continue the assault, just walked down the hall.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I kicked the hell out of the guys before I even realized they were clapping. Someone I know mentioned that they just walked in and set up the explosive bat-spray.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 

I finished the game and I need 4 teeth, one each in 4 different sections :( Also, in the Party Pooper set I was up to 37 (that I saw) but didn't get the 40. I need to find those teeth and grab a couple easy achievements that I missed (catch batarang) before the Beatles tomorrow.
