Too bad I already sold Arkham City.

Practically flawless (imo) game, but honestly a little lower on content then I expected. Maybe because they took out 2 or 3 big parts to sell as DLC later? I hope not...

Are you serious? There's new game +, challenge maps, campaign maps, Catwoman and all the Riddler stuff going on. Not sure where it's low on content.

Yeah I'm lost on his comment as well.Maybe he thinks that the only thing there was was the campaign?Or he's one of the idiots that thinks that multiplayer has to be in EVER game.

Or maybe he just isn't one of those idiots who think that "collect 400 flags and 800 orbs for an achievement!" content-padding is actual content?
You get a bunch of backstory stuff from collectibles so if you don't appreciate that then I guess it is padding.

Kinda have to agree with that. The riddles themselves expand the backstory, and is also needed to finally take out the riddler. I believe you need to complete about 400 of the challenges (trophies, riddles, etc.) just to finish the side quest. But to each his own. :)

@Meatsim: Batman has a million gadgets in this game, including explosives and a taser gun. He's gadget-intensive.

If they charge for this, I call shenanigans ... launch/near-launch paid DLC is such a fucking insult. Stop lying, man-up and charge $75 for new releases with the DLC included.

I agree with you people here.

@Branthog said:

Yeah, no thanks. I don't have any real desire for extra Batman content once I've finished the game. Especially if it's just challenges.

Ya between that and your other comment about Riddler collectibles not being more content, I'm going to take it that you're not a big Batman fan and only like the main plot in games. Here's my take on this tho Dick Grayson/Nightwing is freaking amazing so getting the chance to play as him even if it's only in the challenges at this time is will be epic, plus the collectibles are loads of fun to collect, plus you get trophies and art and achievements, and back story, and some other cool stuff, so it's freaking amazing in my opinion.

I kind of wish there was any amount of story to go along with this. A new playable character is rad, but it's a little less rad when all you can do with him is play one-off challenge maps.

I'm just going to wait for next year when they release the game again but with all the DLC added like they did with AA. There are still so many games I want to play that sadly, Batman is going to the wayside.

...only I totally already have Robin in my game. What gives?

two different people. Nightwing is Dick Grayson, the original Robin, the Robin in the game is Tim Drake who was the 3rd Robin

@The_Nubster said:

@Soap said:

No talking from Nightwing?

No talking, Animated skins look weird, and only playable in Challenge Rooms.

Rocksteady, I love ya, but this is pretty weak.

The Arkham City page says that he is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal

@DrPockets000 said:

looks fucking awesome.

EDIT: I'd also be willing to bet that he is playable in free roam. Around 1:17 there's a shot of him fighting with the city in the background.

thats from the rooftop brawl challenge map, sorry : (

I think I recognice that thug's voice.

its Nolan North, he does a LOT of voice acting so you've probably heard his voice before

@Branthog: Except collecting 400 flags actually gets you more than an achievement in this case.

@SnakeEyes327: Yeah. "Biggest Man-Whore of DC Universe" probably should have been added to his attributes list. Dick gets around.

Well they already got Tim Drake Robin available, now we just need Jason Todd as well. Complete the set!

His special ability will be to die and invalidate Batman as a playable character while he goes through the grieving process.

I loved Arkham City, but campaign access with new characters would be the main seller on getting me into the DLC.

One of the challenge maps is a combat challenge on top of a building. You can't jump off the building.

i didn't expect the fightin style to be so different, good job rocksteady.

Now if you could play night wing and robin in an actual story mode or mini campaign (like catwoman) it will be super cool.

Huge fan of Nightwing, so I'm happy to see Rocksteady was faithful. He looks spot on to me, from his outfit to his hair.

Shame there's no voice work...but I'm still in for the Nightwing DLC pack.

Wow, it's MGS2 all over again. Except now I need to pay extra for Raiden?

No thanks. I'll stick to the main man. I greatly appreciate Rocksteady not pulling a second act bait and switch in the main game, though.
