She controls so awkwardly and whenever they show up the story just comes to a screeching halt.

oh i hated the catwoman segments, it also made new game plus almost impossible because i never upgraded her in my original run so she would die in one or two hits from every random enemy in ng+, i ended up giving up the run lmao

Although I actually enjoyed those lol

Arkham City has the best menu theme in gaming, agree or disagree TC?

Yeah the last time I played the game back in like 2011 or whenever it came out this wasn't part of it.

Guess it was DLC but for the remaster they integrated it into the main game?

I love it. I'll just hang out in the main menu and let it play out.

It's also impressive in that it sounds a ton like the Hans Zimmer Dark Knight Trilogy music (which is no doubt intentional)

Absolutely not. Imagine worse. At the very least Catwomans segments dont try to play like an entirely different game (while still being half assed). Catwomans combat and stealth are almost 1:1 to playing as Batman with some slight differences in gadgets but thats it. I dont play a Spider-man game to play as a human being crouch walking and throwing distractions around enemies. At the very least Catwoman still fucks people up.

Lol I feel that. Every time I play I always make it a point to get the combat upgrades for Batman that affect Catwoman too, and a few Catwoman upgrades as early as possible. You get more than enough upgrades to level up Batman completely after getting one or two health boosts for CW early on.

Her campaign is bad and a waste of Poison Ivy, but her combat is good. She's the fastest character with strikes and counters, but things like her beatdown, aerial attack, and quick whip attack are slow enough that you can't just spam them. Also her sweeping whip special is maybe the most powerful move in the game aside from Batman's "throw batarangs at downed enemies" attack.

IIRC it came with new copies of the game, and storywise it really is part of the main game. The painting of Cain carrying Abel is a bookend to the game's ending.

Eh, it's fine until that awful last mission. Look forward to that lol.

Actually, I think the last mission is technically post game so you don't need to do it to beat it.

You can also hear a lot of Elfman in the soundtrack too, like in Sewer Bat (about 1 minute in).

I will argue with anybody that Asylum is better than City, this is one of the many reasons why

You could also be thinking of her Akrham Knight DLC, which was also an awful mission.

Yeah I didnt even bother finishing the Arkham Knight Catwoman DLC. But the City one is the one with Two-Face in the Museum right?

It's been 8 years so I don't remember the game that well but what is with all the hate for Catwoman segments in AC? I remember disliking her design immensely but I never thought her gameplay sections were bad, especially since they were near identical to Batman.

On the other hand I do vaguely remember something BS related in Arkham Knight? Something to do with Riddler and robots? I think I remember something I actually looked up the answer to online because it was so obtuse.

She plays fine to me, but I agree her segments make the main plot feel disjointed

That's the fight where the floor becomes more and more electrified as you deal with a horde of Riddler robots.

I remember not liking those platforming puzzles in the sewers but I have a hunch those were padding rooms to allow the game to load the next area. So technically better than a loading screen?
