It also helped that I got the pilot who herself is not stopped by smoke or webs. It made her much more flexible with the jet. By the end I put her in the Repulsor and she was good there too.
I don't like the team with the laser or lightning yet. Not because of those mechs, but because their supports are so awkward. Steel Judoka have been tricky for me so far too.

Still *loving* the fire squad, beat three island with fire today. I like changing the fire bot's color to orange, it just looks better. It's hysterical that fire doesn't hurt any of the buidings. By the end of a good late game map you've got like the entire city you're "saving" up in flames, like 10-15 tiles. Cleaning up the achievements is fun in this game too, I finished up the first squad's and am going for the 4 island win with them. Also got a no damage run on one continent, which was another achievement.
This game is just easier to unlock stuff in than FTL. I actually didn't mind the unlocking process that much in FTL. Again, my only (HUGE) beef with FTL is the final boss.

I'm only about 3 hours in, but so far it's mostly on par with Asylum and City EXCEPT that I do not understand Rocksteady's thinking that "Hey, folks that play a Batman game really want to get into TANK BATTLES and OBSTACLE COURSES". I appreciate that the Batmobile is in the game, and there is some cool as hell stuff you can do with it (the ejection thing is super thrilling)...but I can't help but feel like they went the wrong direction with it. Trailing cars and stuff, the chases are fine...but man, the tank battles...I just don't know. It's not that they aren't fun...but it just doesn't feel all that Batman-y. I do really like that the Batmobile has two driving modes, the regular car drivin' style and the crazy IKEA shopping cart style.
Storylines so far have been definitely good, I'm just now getting to the actual Arkham Knight. But come on, like I needed to set up all these transmitters and so forth to figure out that Scarecrow is making his toxin at the Ace chemical plant. I wonder if Batman ever gets tired of going there. And why do villains think it's a good idea to hole up there all the time?
Gameplay is the same as it was in the other games...I forgot how freaking GREAT they play, it's been- holy shit- 7 years since I played City (I never got around to Origins either, oddly but may play it too now). So many cool and fun Batman things to do.
It's really too bad that rumour that Rocksteady was working on a 1960s or 1970s era Arkham game never panned out, that would have been amazing.

anyone else super excited for October's release of Red Dead Redemption 2? I loved the first one (it's soooo zen to play), and can't wait to get into this. Rockstar rarely disappoints.

If you want to play a good game with Batman combat, load up Sleeping Dogs. Now THAT's a game.

I would be excited if I wasn't still playing the first RDR a year after I got it.
Though the PS3 blue ray drive is starting to falter, heralding that the system is on it's way out unless I fix it every few months. So I might have to rely on my PS4 to play.

The worst part is that the game was a gift from a friend for my birthday, who's my main discussion partner, and he had to hear me complain about things.

And it's very obvious that PUBG is worlds beyond this game in all respects.

Just heard that Division 2 is coming out so Far Cry 5 is on my list of shit to get soon, although I still want to get Ghost Recon Wildlands, despite not liking what Ghost Recon has become after GR2

My kids love Fortnite, and I tried it twice with them. I tell them it's "a baby game for babies."

Far Cry 5 looks rad, and the season pass stuff looks cool too. I still have not played part 4, or Primal but you are the only person I have ever seen saying something nice about Primal.
Wildlands is a mixed bag. The game itself is fun, although it's far easier solo since your AI buddies are aimbots. But the "story" and "writing" are less intelligent than your average bathroom graffiti. I never finished it, but every now and then think about loading it up.

When I played it with my wife and a friend I insisted we refer to ourselves as "Godzilla Recon."
