Just tossing this out there, but it helps if you upgrade the Batmobile first before upgrading some of your gadgets and Batman himself.

Most of the tank battles have been pretty easy for me. Just sit in battle mode and use the side swipe to easily move out of the way of the lines, and fire the vulcan gun to shoot the locked on missiles. And aim for the turrets at the top of each of the opposing vehicles to one shot them.

Don't feel bad. My cousin played Resident Evil 4, getting well into the game, before he realized he could run. I have no idea how he got as far as he did, save for having a lot of time on his hands and no money to buy other games (this was when he was in high school).

Seriously, change the controls on the Batmobile as soon as you can (which isn't long after you first use the Batmobile). It makes it so that L2 is reverse/brake, and you can just tap R1 to permanently go into tank mode (until you tap R1 again). Makes the game so much better to play.

*(something that also infuriates me, that option to toggle with R1 instead of holding it down L2, keeps reverting to hold each time I pop the game in - for whatever reason, that option doesn't save, and I have to change it each time I play the game)

the biggest reason the driving is shit is because the backend of the batmobile slides all around. once you lose traction on the back end, it's fucking hard to get the thing righted. so when you are chasing or being chased, one slip up and you are toast.

I did that* long before people kept bringing it up as some magic cure. Doesn't matter, even with that, the driving is still shit - especially the vehicular platforming, which includes the Batmobile as well as the tank.

I finished this yesterday. And by finished, I don't mean I completed it, I just decided it's time to be done. And it was the Batmobile, specifically the tank combat, that just pushed me over my threshold.
I made it to the part where
. By this time, you've already spent SO LONG in that car, and my patience with the tank combat was fucking wafer thin. After multiple attempts to complete this section, I'd had enough. Off to youtube I went to watch how the rest of the game played out, and I don't regret it at all.
I did complete the majority of the side story objectives - Penguin, Two Face, etc. Only left a couple incomplete, so I definitely got my money's worth. Should be able to sell this week and make back what I paid for the game.
It would've been cool if the AK turned out to be someone else I'm not disappointed with the identity, I guess, but as just a casual fan of any and all Batman mythology, it was a big fat 'meh' for me. At a certain point in the game it becomes pretty obvious who it is.

They also pull one in this game that I hate the most; when the protagonist has the antagonist defeated, down on the ground, and then takes a call on the phone (or in Batman's case, his wrist-screen), and then turns his fucking back to the guy on the ground, naturally letting the guy on the ground get away. Who fucking does that? Seriously. Say you were lucky enough to incapacitate a home-invader - would you turn your back to him while on the phone with the police? Of course not, but it happens all the time in movies/TV. I can only laugh at them now.

I'm 50% through the main quest now. I'm really enjoying it but whoever voices Batman is terrible. Everyone else is fine. I love

As for the toxin, they go to great lengths throughout the game to point out that it absorbs through the skin, so a gas mask wouldn't help.

You're funny. It's Kevin Conroy who since taking the role in the original Animated Series is considered the quintessential Batman.
I just don't like his voice, I guess.

Seriously, giving up now is like watching 2 hours and 50 minutes of a 3 hour movie and then quitting right before the ending.

Holy shit. You're a rare one.
Conroy is so fucking awesome as Bats. Even without TAS to back him, he's still fucking great as both Wayne and Bats. There is a lot of detail to how he does it. He's able to balance who Wayne and Bats are very well. Granted.. he's done it for over 20 years now.

I love Kevin Conroy to death, but I sort of agree with Dan here. His performance is sort of wooden this go around. Like he is just reading the lines. I don't notice it always, but several times I've thought to myself that he just didn't seem too into the part.

I felt like Tara Strong was just phoning in the Harley Quinn voice too. Something about it just felt off. I thought she did a great job in Arkham City, so much so that I thought she was indistinguishable from Arleen Sorkin at times.
I am really really hoping that Margot Robbie does the voice justice. I love the way Sorkin did the voice; to me she will always be the definitive Harley Quinn.
