I'm loving it so far except for the freezing, decided to unhook the internet to see if it helps.

The shock gloves are actually a minor complaint I had with the game. Using them made things too easy at times. I finished the main story last night and thought it was great. I guess I don't really see all the complaints that people have with the game. It's not perfect and I did start to experience some freezing issues a couple times yesterday while finishing it but overall I still thought it was a fun experience. I think the thing with this game was that it was more of a cash in title and sort of a hold over until the actual sequel happens.

Aaaand I'm done. I quit.
I realized today that I'm just not having much fun with this game. I'm probably half way through the story and, while I hate to stop right in the middle, it's seriously a fucking chore to play this now.
Maybe I'll pick it up again next weekend if I get the time, but I doubt it.

That's kind of closed minded. The game itself is actually really fun and the story is good. Plus to be honest the guy playing Bruce/Batman actually sounds pretty good. I've said it a few times but it sounds like he's basically doing a Conroy impersonation but he's not terrible at it.

The voice actors did fine but I'd prefer Conroy and Hamill, even understanding why they weren't used.
The game is good. Flawed but good, it is a title that based on its quality works better at the 20-30 bucks range to buy. The story is really interesting. Sadly I do tire of how much Joker has to be in these games. Granted they've been great parts for the character.
It's funny how a lot reviews that did Blackgate mention that they wish it was a Metroid game. Is it THAT Metroid like? I need to get Vita for that one.

The voice acting is fine. The story is great. The fighting is fun. The ending was fine.
Too many complaints. I say just have fun playing it.
I did encounter another freeze while doing a side quest though.

Ugh. 4 freezes in 2 hours. There is a good clean game here under all the bugs. I've beaten this, I liked the story, had some game mechanic issues, and have gotten all the collectible stuff. Just need to do the new game plus, online, and the challenge maps. I'll hold off on this until the patch.
The fight mechanics though will never be great, unless that patch is a detailed motherfucker.

I guess I had no problems whatsoever with the controls and didn't think it felt all that different from Arkham City. The only thing I sort of noticed was that sometimes it felt like there were less thing to use my grapnel gun on.

Game destroying glitch in the vita version of Blackgate. So close to the end too. Freed a hostage and it didnt set the next one as an objective.

Downloaded the patch but it did nothing to recover my "corrupt" save file. At this point I doubt they can do anything about it.

AC4 must have had massively major issues for a 1 gig patch.
8mb sounds about right for a regular patch. The first one fixes something about falling out into or out of the world, free flow mode not unlocking properly, and not being able to continue the story.
Never heard of the latter two.
The 2nd patch will fix corrupt saves and the freezes.

Anyway, no lock-ups/freezes/corrupt files on my XBOX 360. So far I'm good. Deathstroke battle was fun. Otherwise this is "more of the same" but I'm enjoying it, generally. Pain in my groin is subsiding.

so the patch seems to have worked. i haven't had a freeze up since the initial one right after i got. also beat the game. enjoyed the hell out of it, but i do agree the fighting was a bit "loose."
