Looks likes going to be a good DLC

take note Rocksteady.

Looks decent.

Please let there be less fighting.

I don't know why but I was sick of fighting before I got halfway there. Not knocking the combat, but meh.

No, I agree. I've never liked the combat in the Arkham Games. It feels too scripted. Make x punch, y kick, a dive/jump, b dodge, and let the rest of the gadgets get binded by the player. Let us combine all this to make our own combos. I much prefer a system like this.

I so wanna download this, but I'm out of town.

How much is the DLC package?

What I like about the combat is how badass Batman looks when he lays the smackdown on their candyasses. It is brutal, satisfactory watching Bats own/cripple most of them. I'm not fond of the fighting mechanics though, so I agree with you. The combat mechanics frustrate me most of the time. The predator levels are much, much, much more fun. We needed more of them in this game to balance all the fkn fighting.

How are the combat mechanics frustrating?

seems like you need more practice.

What's this @ the Arkham combat being too scripted? You can do plenty different combos with the order/timing of which you do your techniques, whether you include gadgets in the picture or not, although they too can be used during combos with the quickfire mechanics (not just batarangs). Admittedly though, I wouldn't mind if punch and kick were two separate buttons, but I prefer B/circle being stun for doing them beatdowns on thugs or whathaveyou.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much the Mr. Freeze DLC is since I got it through the season pass, but man is it one of the best story expansion DLC's to have happened in awhile. The new batsuit and its thermal abilities are pretty awesome. Sure beats the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC from City, to say the least.

Also has anybody had trouble unlocking worst nightmare track 7 with this game?

i'm doing it right but its just unlocking.

Been awhile since I've done 'em. What were the requirements for that one again?

Rank 7: Complete a predator encounter without using takedowns.

Oh... I think that was one of the ones you had to do in one of the scripted predator room scenarios of the story mode for it to count. Wasn't able to get that one till I was doing New Game + in that one main predator room of the GCPD, I believe.

Also, if you don't get all the tracks done after NG+, you can do 'em on I Am the Night mode, and if you progress too far there story-wise for you to get anymore of them, just get yourself killed so you can start the story anew and the tracks you completed before will still be saved. Regardless, the Deadshot side mission is good for getting a couple of the more annoying predator-based tracks out of the way.

Hope that helps.

I can't explain. This is the third time I've tackled the system and I still feel there is something holding it back from being great. Frustrating was probably the wrong word.
