Batman: Arkham City

Deathstroke is basically a counter fight. As soon as you see him start to attack, counter him. Use your combo attacks (x + o, etc) every time you can. You can also batclaw him to you to get a couple of hits. But the key is counters and not getting too greedy with your attacks.

The tricky part is that the timing for the counters changes with each "stage" of the fight, after the beat down scenes. When you get to the part where he pulls out his sword there are usually two attacks you have to counter.

Once you get the timing down to counter it's actually a really easy fight. There's an achievement/trophy for not missing a counter.

OMG i finally beat him, all i had to fucking do was turn hints back on lmfao....... MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.

Congrats! Now do it on New Game +

**Space Suicide** · 04-10-2014, 05:27 PM

Deathstroke is an asshole. You have to let him lead the fight. After many, many, many tries I did get the achievement for not being damaged by him. One of my proudest achievements.

So i finished the main story in Origins, now i gotta go do the extra stuff.... of course i did some along the way but there was just too much of it keeping me distracted from the narrative. Is there no way to reveal it all on the maps like in the past games with the floating riddler markers?

Interrogate Enigma thugs like you would in the other games. They cough up Encryption Key locations on the map.

I still can't get the last Crime in Progress to pop. Flew around for hours. I'm over it.

The Cold, Cold Heart DLC was a great story. Game play seems to have some of the same faults as the main game. Hopefully WB Montreal can get their shit together by the time they take over the franchise full time.

reload a checkpoint and begin flying around near Wonder Tower. it'll activate, eventually....

I had zero issues or glitches with Cold, Cold Heart. I love Mr. Freeze and thoroughly enjoyed it. Got every achievement.

As much as I love Batman, I hope after Arkham Knight they retire this series.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I had one freeze (no pun intended) during the DLC. Of course it happened at the end and I thought I was going to lose my data but I didn't.

I see no chance of WB Games retiring the Batman franchise. Maybe they can start a different Batman series so they can start fresh. Just retire the Arkham franchise.

Oh man Origins sure was glitchy huh? haha i was at a predator scene and after i took out one of the armed goons by way of inverted takedown the rest of the goons came running to check out his corpse and they all ended up clustered together and stuck in a corner it was hilarious.

I also had some dudes get completely stuck inside of a wall spinning around doing 360s. So messed up.

**Tony Gordon** · 05-16-2014, 11:11 PM

Did anyone care for the handheld spin off of Arkham Origins? The Blackgate game. I've been playing it extensively for the past week and I've had a lot of fun with it. It's basically Metroidvania with Batman. The combat is a little sludgy, but overall I think it's a good game. Lots and lots of exploring to do!

**thelastdisciple** · 05-17-2014, 06:42 PM

I'm not sure if this was touched on but in Origins was anyone getting tired of all the subliminal mocking toward the player?

There were a few occasions where the characters are trying to "tell" you something, for instance after you get the second last Penguin arms cache, Barbara says something like "We're actually getting stuff done and my Dad thinks I'm just sitting in his office texting and watching TV. If only he knew."

Hardy har har.....

There were other similar things said in different situations but it's like ok... i get it...... you don't have to tell me, I've been sitting on my ass playing a video game for 4 hours doing repetitive and pointless side missions that are getting me nowhere in life.., what else is new?

Ugh...that looks awesome. I'm going to have to pony up and get a next-gen system so I can play this and the new Assassin's Creed game.

**Space Suicide** · 05-22-2014, 12:26 PM

"Gameplay Trailer"

Nice CGI cutscenes. I think I might've seen about 3 snippets of actual gameplay footage that's believable.

Either way, cannot wait!

Arkham Knight has been delayed to 2015

**Piko** · 06-03-2014, 09:26 AM

Takes balls to delay a game. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

**Wretchedest** · 06-03-2014, 10:02 AM

Ok: this is going to be the worst gaming year in a long time. Not saying much: the last 3 are in the running for the best ever. But looks like awesome games are taking a break in lieu of familiarity and a coy game of next gen chicken. So disappointing.

Of course, this bodes well for the quality of the game.

**october_midnight** · 06-03-2014, 10:12 AM

I'm so stoked that they're delaying these games to be honest...choosing to follow their vote for quality over the self-entitled whining turds on social media. Sucks that it's delayed, but I think it's to be expected at the beginning of any new console generation's cycle.

**Space Suicide** · 06-03-2014, 01:32 PM

Besides Destiny, this a was the one and only game for this year I was actually very interested in.

As for quality, I doubt it'll matter too much for improving the quality with this delay. Watch_Dogs was delayed and I've ran into a few glitches and issues.

I'm sure Arkham Knight will suffer from some.

Oh well.

**Wretchedest** · 06-03-2014, 01:43 PM

In light of it's current quality, I'm sure if Watch Dogs had not been delayed I would have just fucking returned it. It is barely passable. But Watch Dogs is an Ubisoft franchise, and Ubisoft are the KINGS of half assing video games.

Rocksteady are a 2/2 when it comes to designing good Batman games, so I'm still confident, especially without the "cross-gen" monicker to haunt this one. I'm just a little disappointed, because there's nothing else to look forward to this year. I guess there's smash bros...

**october_midnight** · 09-08-2014, 11:04 AM

Arkham Knight now streets June 2, 2015. Womp womp...

Also, special editions!

**Space Suicide** · 09-08-2014, 03:35 PM

Limited Edition for me, that Batman statue is too nice not to grab.

**october_midnight** · 09-08-2014, 09:21 PM

Me too, just got back from paying it off. Only $99.99 so definitely worth it. The Batmobile one is $199.99 which I found odd...was going to get that one, but dropping 10K or so on a car within the next few weeks is leading me to pinch the pennies a bit.

Real car > Statue of fictional car

**dlb** · 09-09-2014, 11:23 AM

I did some googling but couldn't find anything... since I'm a huge fan of the Frank Miller design I wanted to ask if there is some kind of mod that lets you play as that costume in the other games aswel apart from Akrham Cityl?

**thelastdisciple** · 11-24-2014, 09:41 AM

Swooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

**october_midnight** · 11-24-2014, 11:08 AM

And more John Noble as Scarecrow! Fuck yeah.
