Just had the power go out as I collected my 399th riddler trophy, only to then turn on my Xbox and have it Red Ring..... So damn close.

^ I feel your pain Sheeno.

So has anyone confirmed if there are actual references to game three, as in the Arkham City reference in Asylum?

Probably need to have a idea of what Game three might be about to know that. There could be plenty in plain site in stories.

There was the Harley Quinn pregnancy test easter egg, combined with the song she sings during the end credits if you find it. Possible hints for the next game.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, during your first encounter with Harley in the church, right before you save the Doctors, she says something along the lines of "Mr J isn't feeling himself lately...well, he was earlier, but that's not what I meant." On my first playthrough I thought she was referring to Joker having just tried to kill you with the sniper rifle. After finding those easter eggs, I now understand what she really meant, haha.

The test is found in Jokers room at the end of the steel mill.

You know even when I first heard it I always thought "Oh what did they just do it?"

Guess that's my dirty mind at work.

When the pc version runs, it runs pretty well

. However i am having a tough time with it, firstly AVG picks up Capsule (green man gaming's program to download and play games) as a virus. And thus anything it transfers shows up as a "virus" eg: the Arkham City executeable files. Have googled it and it's not a true virus, but it's just AVG being AVG. Other people who have downloaded from green man gaming, using other virus programs have not had any nasty pop up virus warnings. When it happens my computer decides to run slower (first time i've experienced "slowdown" on this machine).

The game crashes the first time i attempt to play it, it runs through the copyright screen, game developers etc, nvidia logo. But when it gets to the title screen and "press start".... pressing start makes the game crash and return to the desktop. Restarting the game, it plays as normal with no crashes, i am not sure if it's because i'm running 64bit Windows 7, or the way it was downloaded and installed.

After reading about the DX11 issues, i'm only playing using the DX9 mode, and it runs pretty well (highest framerate 100, lowest 75, average 97). That being said it can still chug along at times, during the cut scenes, i've had slowdown and stuttering. One such instance was during the first Batman moment (saying that without spoiling), when you see Batman looking outward, then the camera pans the landscape. It was stuttering a little bit.

It looks fantastic, i just wish i didn't have a headache from getting it to run.

I have tried some of the suggestions online - starting up GFWL first, going into the task manager, right clicking the .exe and only allowing 2 of the processes to run. At first i thought it worked, as it was my "first" attempt at running the game.... i tried the same steps again later on, and the game crashed at the press start screen yet again.

I'm not the only one that is experiencing the crash at the title screen, hopefully it is one of many glitches that gets patched in the not too distant future (fingers and toes crossed of course).

It took me 48 hours to download from Green Man Gaming but it's running well. Sitting on 40 to 50 fps on very high at 1600x900 on my laptop. No physx though. Still, looks quite a bit better than the 360 version to my eyes.

I'm thinking I might wait for the patch that makes Tesselation run well anyway. But I'm not sure if my comp will be able to handle it even when its not bugged. I could run Crysis 2 maxed but tesselation took the frames down too much.

What do you guys think about a 560Ti running tesselation on this game when its fixed? I'll only need 2xAA in 1920x1080 and i'd be happy with 40fps.

Question for people who've finished this.

Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to play AA before this? I know its a direct sequel but I don't have a problem with reading up on the storyline from the first game.

I've just got a huge backlog and limited time to go through it, so just looking for opinions on this.

A quick run through of just the main AA storyline should only take 4-5 hours without any real attempt at riddler trophies and side quests.

However i wouldn't say it is essential - but there are references to it that that you might have trouble picking up on as it dosen't offer any lead in from the other game.

I have done nothing to the game, but it seems to be running fine now. It certainly doesn't stutter like it did, i'm thinking it was just when loading up a new area.... i've since had to back track through several of the previous stuttering spots (not always in the same play through) and it didn't skip or stutter on me.

Mine arrived this morning

Does anyone know to turn the Xbox360 gamepad off if we're using Keyboard and Mouse, I actually find this game more natural with KB&M unlike most third person non-shooters. But my gamepad keeps vibrating and I can't stop it, it vibrates against my desk too which is very loud >_< At the moment I just have it dangling off the side of my desk so it doesnt make so much noise

I don't want to do that.

Too much effort when im also playing other games that I use it with. Lots of wires at the back of my PC and it all gets tangled. Just some way to disable it in the game would be cool.

I guess it's pretty hard then.

Maybe they'll add it in a patch.

Can always trawl through the config files to find the setting. Though willing to bet it's easier to unplug it or (if it's the model), remove the batteries.
