I got the game yesterday and after spending some time with it, I'm pretty impressed thus far. I like the new multiple take down mechanics, the dual combat system and yes I think even the Batmobile battles are kind of fun I get a bit of rush dodging out of the line of fire and taking down multiple tanks at once. (Yeah they're right, mapping the transformation button to R1 really helps in those segments.)
The only annoying part of the game thus far are the Batmobile platforming sections, especially with the ones where the damn Riddler taunts you every time. "Yes Nygma we get it you're a SUPER genius, now shut the hell up and let me drive up the damn ramp!"
But other than that it has been pretty good and living up to my expectations.

I have a question about the game. Is there no challenge mode or maps.

Okay, I know WB and RS want to get their money's worth from John Noble but I wish Scarecrow would just shut up already.

I'm glad I waited instead of being tempted by all the cheap nvifia bundled steam keys people were selling
I imagine this will be between £7.50 and £12 on the steam thanksgiving sale and that at least the major issues will be patched by then.

Things have gotten so bad with the PC version that WB is taking the drastic measure of suspending all future sales of the PC version until they fix its technical issues. SourceYeah, this is the immediate effect of steam refunds. What happens is that monthly sales are placed into an account for just the one game with Valve getting their 30%. If a game is refunded, Valve keeps their 30% but the difference is made up by taking out of the sales. By not delaying the pc version of AK like they did Asylum & City (City & Asylum were released a month after the console versions), they burnt an entire platform and got bit on the arse.

Batman: Tank Wars is really pissing me off.

This Batmobile stuff is just annoying as hell.
And I like the idea of being a (somewhat) lone vigilante, but here you have about 5 people to help you out of any jam, including 'Deus Ex' Fox who just happens to finishing a gadget that you need at the time.

{Spoiler}Never thought I'd say it, I just wish Joker came back to life.
Atleast then he wouldn't be present ALL THE TIME.

Eh, it's whatever. I more or less have a tougher time believing that the events of this series all seem to take place in the span of 1 night.

So, what's the overall thoughts on the game? A lot of people seemingly like it, but it does seem like there is a number of flaws.

I think its pretty entertaining besides the Batmobile stuff.
The story is pretty okay too besides the dumb dumb dumb people with jokers blood thing.

Honestly, I've got no problem with Rocksteady's (over-) reliance on Joker. I can see why some might be a little tired of him, though.

Yeah I'm now undecided if I'm going to bother, I just know it's going to frustrate the hell out of me but I've almost completed everything else.

It's really tough to recommend 100% completing Riddler challenges in any of the other Arkham games since you don't really get anything from it, but the Batmobile challenges sound kinda fun in Knight so maybe? The lore is probably interesting enough, but again, it was soooooo tedious in the previous games.

You get Joker's blood and get the white face and green hair. The sickness he had in City. Fine. But literally turning into The Joker? With clown mannerisms and calling Batman Bats and so on? Come on. He's not a werewolf.

Sure but that atleast had some good comic book science mumbo jumbo to explain it. It just seems weird that this one chick gets Joker blood and nothing else and becomes a Joker clone. (She's the worst too.)
