Batman: Arkham City

If by "battle damage" you mean Clothing Damage, then yeah. Drat, got my hopes up. I applaud the devs for ramping up the amount of possible Clothing Damage compared to the original game, though. I mean, I think there's a not-that-small open wound on his left leg!

EDIT: Handed Two-Face his ass. Man, love the Book Ends turnabout, and Two-Face's parallel white-vs-red lifebars that still went down simultaneously with each hit. Now I need to recover the loot, snatch the trophies, finish the side missions, and then I can hit Harley Quinn's Revenge.

Oh, and I learned something important today: I should've bought at least one of Catwoman's special combos as early as possible; would've made her big melee battles much easier.

And I have learned something new now: The alternate costumes don't show any Clothing Damage... and the Remote Controlled Batarang's SFX seems to glitch into complete muteness whenever I use them.

Beat Riddler's last puzzle room, and now I have gather more Riddles so that Oracle can deduce his and the remaining hostages' location. Oh, and I love his Flat "What" at Strange revealing the fact that he knows Batman's Secret Identity, unlike the self-professed "World's Smartest Man". The next tape is probably going to have Nygma suffering Villainous Breakdown, no?

BTW, I've went back to the Arkham City Processing Center, and discovered that I could've broken through the "mirror" there the first time I had gone back there looking for Strange; would've at least let me see that mysterious corpse at the other side of the locked door that Detective Mode had percieved, since it's now gone. Anyone know if the southwestern door is ever going to be unlocked? It used to be blocked by some metal panel before, but now it's unblocked and yet still locked.

Funnily enough, Riddler's lair is really easy to find while just going through the area it's in, but you can't enter it until Oracle confirms it.

And that electric fence is a bitch to get over.

What electric fence? If you mean the one in the Bowery, I found that pretty easy via dive bomb-assisted gliding on my first attempt.

Indeed, it was nowhere the nail-pulling, hair-biting frustration that is Advanced AR 1.

Hell, when I first saw that door, I thought "Oh, this must be one of the Riddler rooms or where Zsasz is chilling." You'd think he'd keep it locked even after Batman beats all his puzzles instead of randomly deciding to open it up :P

^^ Riddler's hideout, yeah. I always use the line launcher and crawl across.

Finally found and beat Riddler. I have to say, the "puzzle" there was ridiculously easy compared to the last two of his puzzle rooms; I didn't even have to restart from a checkpoint!

EDIT: Nevermind, turned out I should've zoomed into inside the Church and GCPD buildings to see the last trophies that I haven't found. >_<

Got all the Riddles, Trophies, and other collectibles; just have to do the physical challenges to get 100% completion for the normal play, before moving on to New Game Plus (is it different from playing on Hard mode?). Right now, though, I decided to start the Harley Quinn's Revenge story... Man, I love playing as Robin! Is it just me, or are his melee attacks a little longer-ranged due to his battle staff? I rarely got hit even when I faced that big horde gathered at Batman's belt.

I recently got the Wii U version. I'm liking a lot of the little features, like Batman's comm link coming from the Game Pad, or having the map always up.

I do kind of don't like not being able to pause for the map or upgrading without doing off-TV play. Also, some loading times. That's about it, though. Otherwise, I love it. Just as fun as the game on the PS 3, if not more so.

So I just got tipped that Calendar Man actually has more "holiday stories" than the Father's Day one that he appeared to keep retelling whenever I went to him during my first (and so far only) playthrough, and which he only tells on the appropiate holiday dates. Gonna have to copy down the dates from this article to form a checklist; do you get a trophy for listening to all of the stories?

Yes, you do; specifically, the "Storyteller" trophy.

Right. Now I have to spend a whole year to get that trophy... or "cheat" by messing with my PS 3's system clock 12 times.

Help: I'm in the post-game and I need a 20x combo to complete the Riddler Challenges. Problem is large groups of mooks are pretty much nonexistent now. I can find maybe 6 at best hanging out on a rooftop in the Amusement Mile or in front of the court house (but even those numbers appeared to be shrinking what do I do to get them to respawn?).

EDIT: Nevermind I manage to get it like right after I posted this.
