Forums - Gaming Discussion - So am i the only one who hated the stealth segments of Arkham City?

How could you not like stealthy parts? That always make me feel like I'm actually part of the game. (A secret agent or something.)

I think it is incredibly fun freaking the thugs out, playing with them so i have no problems with it



batman minus stealth is just.. wrong. the stealth is what makes the game feel like you are actually batman.



Yeah, that ruined the game for me. I just wanna go out there and kick some ass, but apparently that's too easy.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Seems like you just lack skill to me.

Alas, i lack a capture card (couldn't even really use one anyway, laptop,) so i can't take video of what i'm doing wrong.



what levels give you problems?

I haven't done any of the actual predator challenges, it was specific runs in-story. The basement of Wander Tower, both times (first with inmates, second with TYGER guards), the top of Wander Tower with Strange, the nest of snipers before Joker, the guys outside Poison Ivy's place as Catwoman, both times against Joker's guys in the steel-mill.

Maybe you're just a bit impatient?  These predator portions of the game can be pretty time consuming, planning your strategies, setting up explosives in the terrain.  Two major things though are to stay in detective mode, and quickly zip line to a gargoyle/building as soon as you take someone out.  Another thing too is to drop near an enemy when he's alone and sneak up behind him and do a silent take down, or just do a knock down (You can gluide to an enemy and kick them before you land and go straight for a take down).

I found explosives not worth the trouble, because you can't know where they're going, or get onto their normal paths without getting spotted.

The entire problem seems to revolve around getting the first take-down without getting caught. Do that, and it opens up the whole field. The impossibility is... doing that.

Well they do see that someone is down or penguin just informs them that Bat is hunting them. You can choose take the first guy down any way. Throw a batrang and other gadgets and stun him. Than go down finish and away you go. They come and inspect and panic but go back to their positions albeit on high alert. Just have to go one on one from there on. Stealth is not my favourite genre. I played MGS4 like i was Master Chief and not snake unless i had to. 

I just didn't enjoy the open world ish setting of this game as much as i thought. Just went through story mode. The first one just felt tighter and better game. 



Nah, the stealth parts were fantastic. Slowly stalking your prey, and making them fear you. I felt like Batman.

On a unrelated note, a lot of hate for this game in this thread. I don't even understand it. It's a excellent game. So much better than Asylum IMO. I loved the gliding, and diving. The sidequests were plentiful, and delicious. The main story was interesting and pushed the narrative. The combat was extremely satisfying, the stealth was fun and challenging, and the whole game is a love letter to Batman fans.

What are you guys smoking?




The stealth segments are a rip off of Assassins Creed, but a little deeper with being able to use bat claw to fly up to hard to reach places and going through vents.
