Yeah, it is a big game. I have most of the campaign completed (I hope), most of the Riddler trophies, but do have a few side missions left to complete, and I'm only at around 50% (at least I was when I started that session).

[Kris Lyons]

FINALLY! I finally beat those damn A.R. Training sequences! Talk about frustration! Now I can go to sleep and get some rest before rescuing the 4th Riddler hostage in the morning.

Cleared the campaign and the Catwoman epilogue, then emptied out the museum and picked up a bunch of other trophies. Still have a few sidequests, maybe a couple dozen trophies (mostly in the industrial and subway areas). Funny, when I didn't have the Tyger codes I was constantly finding their camera substations, and now that I have the codes, I can't remember where the hell they were. I like that you can set riddler trophies on the map if you can't get at them yet, but I wish you could also set permanent custom waypoints just like them for "other things" that you might want to come back for.

I'm 95% complete as of this morning.
I've got about half the campaigns left, it's the predator heavy half and I'm not looking forward to it.
I can see what they were trying to achieve with the campaigns but I'm not sure it quite worked...
If anyone is stuck on the later predator challenges I can provide some valuable hints, particularly for top of the world and end of the line; which both suck by the way.

Beat the main story today. It was fun. Finally started to feel like I'm getting decent at being Batman. I've still got tons of trophies to collect. Some I either can't figure out or are just too much a pain for me to bother with. Also have plenty of side quests left to finish. Can't find the latest Deadshot victim despite flying around the area for about 15 minutes. Haven't even started in on the challenge maps. So yeah, plenty of game left to deal with if I want to keep going.

Ok, I'm pretty much done. Cleared the campaign, cleared Catwoman's loot, cleared all side quests, got all Riddler trophies aside from a few of the physical challenges (the Aerial attack, batarang combo, and double Catwoman combo ones), all I haven't done are the out-of-game challenges, and those don't particularly interest me. On to the next game!

[RossS]

Woo Hoo!
100% complete.
Some of those final campaigns are a royal pain in the ass.
Gonna give this a break now and return to do some Nightwing/Robin stuff in a few months.

[Dave Wallace]

Well done!

[Kris Lyons]

Don't ask me how, but I somehow manged to rank in at #101 on the xbox live leaderboards for a ranked predator map. It came as a total surprise when I checked.

[RossS]

Nice.
Which one.
I hate all the predator maps, definately not my strength.

Does PSN ever do those sorts of sales? If so, is there a place on the web that keeps track of them or do you need to fire up the PS3?

[brucegray666]

The sister website of the xbox one above is http://www.ps3trophies.org/. I imagine they'd run a similar feature each week.

I'm hoping that with WB agreeing to send me a replacement game disc I can get on and play AC a bit more. I somehow managed to complete the main campaign and i'm now playing through the + campaign and doing some of the side missions on the initial campaign. Due to all the dirty disc issues i've been having I have spent a lot more time recently playing the Riddler challenge maps and campaigns, I have to stick to one map/map combo however as if I try and change the error message comes up and game drops out to the xbox menu. Getting lots of the challenge trophies however.

Hello:

ATTENTION

So be it known to everyone in this thread reading this that
I have finished the main story!

I did it without asking for help. I used to annoy people asking
for help when I did Arkham Asylum but this time I did it.

There were some places in the game where I thought I was
stuck but I experimented with a few things and made it.

So, if I can do it, so can you.

Nice one Al! You got many of the side quests left to do? What about the Riddler trophies?

I'll get to them in time. I like that after the main story there is still
some game left if you want to play further.

Quick question: Is it worth playing the game a second time?
What is the difference the second time around? I noticed something
gets unlocked, but that is about it.

The "+" playthrough lets you keep all your Bat gear but the combat is harder and you've got to keep an eye out for counter moves yourself as there's none of the "Spidey sense" warnings when Batman is about to get smacked in the face (I think that's it, I haven't embarked on a second playthrough myself).

[Dave Wallace]

I'm still making slow progress through this. Strange has just launched Protocol 10, and I made Catwoman choose to rescue Bats. I'm sure he would have made it out somehow, but it just didn't seem right to make Selina leave him to die.

[Kris Lyons]

Actually, the game has that end covered, Dave.

Spoiler

If you do choose to take the loot, Batman dies and the credits role. During the credits a distressed Oracle can be heard speaking on an emergency channel about the Joker winning and all kinds of other madness.

It's all very depressing, but worth looking up on youtube, at least.
