First time?

Yes. Board 8 voted for me to play it next. I get the feeling I shouldn't be exploring for secrets til I can shoot explosive gel and can open security doors

I think on the first time, you aren't hurt by discovering your limitations early on; you'll at least figure out where secrets are that you can't access and also level yourself up fast (which is great if you want to go for more versatility in predator fights). It's a small game - I can generally knock it out in completion in about four or five hours nowadays - so exploring isn't going to consume hours.

There is nothing more annoying then exploring and finding out I don't have what I need to complete it.

It's more annoying in games where backtracking takes a lot of time. At worst, you'll spend three minutes crossing from one side of the entire map to the other in this game. If you want to wait until you have all the implementations necessary for exploration, wait until you have the Bat-Claw upgrade.

yeah, i wouldn't recommend worrying about collectibles, they're more of an optional post-endgame activity

Did you ever play it?
---

Not yet because our PS3 needs to be cleaned but I have watched a bunch of youtube videos about the series.

We have the first 3 games too so when I do play I might hit them all back to back.
---

Somehow I've gotten lost and cannot figure out where to go.
---

Really liked Arkham Asylum. Too bad Arkham City couldn't repeat the same formula. Lost interest in that one pretty quick.
---

Getting rly annoyed at this ? Mark in the mansion. Clearly you have to use the reflection to complete it but what I feel is completed is not working.
---

The Riddler is getting to you lol

He is a dick. Poison Ivy is free. I got the disrupter thing.
---

No villain every truly captured dickishness like the Riddler.
---

Time to go to the botanical gardens next I'm sure.
---

Aight. Got the cure. Gotta head back to fight poison ivy. Got like 160 challenges completed.

Dat future spoiler oh my. Geez Louise.

I guess based on the achievement list the game is basically over. Says poison ivy achievements and beat the game achievement.

My main gripe about the game is that it basically forces you into detective mode all game so all the visuals are lost. I was surprised to see the entire screen was red and pink after ivy poisoned the place after accidentally escaping due to being in detective mode most the game.

I best asylum. Have like 210 Riddler challenges finished.
---

Def not wasting my time on the challenges
---

210 is almost all of them.

I got them all. I mean I am not getting the combat and predator gold's.
---

Ah, yeah. I don't enjoy those as much. It's much more interesting in Arkham City.

I did flawless freeflow combos in all 4 rounds and still was short of the gold on the first one. I was like yep I'll pass on this shit

Arkham Asylum was the only game I ever got all the achievements for and I agree: FUCK THE COMBAT CHALLENGES.
