How do I perform an "hanging ledge takedown"?
I stand on the ledge marked in the picture, but it doesn't indicated that a special takedown is possible, just the normal drop takedown.

You have to be hanging from the ledge with your hands. If an enemy is close enough, you'll see a prompt to right-click.

The enemy is above you and won't see it coming.

Any mods, perks, etc to getting this game for the PC vs. consoles?

Debating between lower price and potential costume mods for the PC vs. big screen beauty of playing on the plasma with consoles.

That's odd since the hint in the challenge clearly states that I have to be standing on a ledge on top of an enemy. I'll try that, though, and see what the grade system says it was.

Edit:
I did what you described and afterwards it says "ledge takedown", no "hanging". I've seen videos of it: Batman uses his legs to choke the enemy. But I don't know why I can't do it.

Yep, sorry, that is a different one. I haven't done the "hanging" one yet, but I know what you're talking about.

The big screen beauty is possible with computers, too. Just because you don't want to doesn't make it an inherent console advantage.

Loved the first 2 batman games SO much but so far with this one.

1) Numerous crashes, fagging about trying to update drivers and redists that clearly didn't install correctly the first time around.
2) Troubles getting SLI working correctly
3) Object pop in, in game in new areas that are loading I rotate the camera and objects aren't buffered outside the screen, occasionally (and it's fairly rare) they'll pop in at the edge of the screen.
4) THERES NO FUCKING MOUSE SENSITIVTY SLIDER IN GAME, how retarded is this seriously, it's fucking 2013 not 1989
5) The UI in general is just fucking awful, a seriously massive step back from the prior games, clearly made for use with a gamepad, there's load of little complaints here
5a) It's a bit laggy selecting certain things which makes fast navigation troublesome
5b) The icons are shitty shitty low res bullshit, god it hurts my eyes
5c) The Xbox buttons load first then are replaced by the PC menu icons so you get a glimps of press A or X or whatever, lmao.
6) The challenges are just frustrating as fuck, every time you restart a challenge you get a lame little precanned animation you can't skip and you need to keep trying over and over again because some are unreasonably difficult so you end up smashing the keyboard in the hopes it will skip but never will.
7) You can't skip the intros you have to google for a god damn fix so it doesn't take 60 seconds to get in the game ever time you load, including all the times you need to restart to change graphics/physx settings to get the balance right, completely gay

I'm about 30 minutes into the game and have spent several hours fixing this shit so far and it's just a complete let down.

Arkham Asylum was one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises I think I've seen in the current generation of console ports (last 7 years) and they fucking blew it out the park with Arkham City with yet again another absolutely solid title, and so far this has been totally gay. I don't use the slang gay very often I save it for really gay things, but so far this has been really super gay.

Fuck you Warner Bros or whoever made this, you retards spoilt a series which up until this point had been masterfully executed.

No I take that back, AA and AC weren't executed masterfully, they were exectued flawlessly, I literally do not recall a single issue with those games, played through to completion loving every minute and went on to 100% them both.

And Arkham Origins can't even add a mouse sensitivity slider, it's pathetic.

I've only had one technical issue so far, and that's when they audio stopped working after entering a building. I restarted the game and all was well. Haven't had any other issues, though I always use a controller with these types of games.

That said, it's hard for me to take anything PrincessFrosty said seriously when the "review" contains that much cursing and slang only an angsty teen would use. Pretty embarrassing to have that garbage in our community.

Zero problems here. Playing on PC on a 65" with a wireless 360 controller.

Isn't there one of those fast travel points there?

edit: Yeah just tried it. Click/select the fast travel icon on the batcave from the city map

1) Numerous crashes, fagging about trying to update drivers and redists that clearly didn't install correctly the first time around.

I found that the latest drivers didn't install properly either but I'm still getting very smooth framerates on a single 670 with 320.49
2) Troubles getting SLI working correctly

I'm sure it will work fine on a single card

3) Object pop in, in game in new areas that are loading I rotate the camera and objects aren't buffered outside the screen, occasionally (and it's fairly rare) they'll pop in at the edge of the screen.

Can't say I've noticed this, maybe try a single card?

4) THERES NO FUCKING MOUSE SENSITIVTY SLIDER IN GAME, how retarded is this seriously, it's fucking 2013 not 1989
Always found it better to play the arkham series with a 360 controller, except for possibly the predator modes.
5) The UI in general is just fucking awful, a seriously massive step back from the prior games, clearly made for use with a gamepad, there's load of little complaints here
After getting used to the Arkham City UI it's not that difficult to navigate, but I do agree it's not as pretty, although when has batman ever bothered with being pretty.
5a) It's a bit laggy selecting certain things which makes fast navigation troublesome
Again, no issues here, try a single card, maybe using the 2nd purely for PhysX
5c) The Xbox buttons load first then are replaced by the PC menu icons so you get a glimps of press A or X or whatever, lmao.
I've found that both the previous games were very versatile, allowing you to switch between keyboard/mouse and gamepad at the press of a button. Handy for different playing styles.
7) You can't skip the intros you have to google for a god damn fix so it doesn't take 60 seconds to get in the game ever time you load, including all the times you need to restart to change graphics/physx settings to get the balance right, completely gay
I'd say 30 seconds max, much quicker than previous games that had to log in to games for windows live.
I'm about 30 minutes into the game and have spent several hours fixing this shit so far and it's just a complete let down.
I spent the first 30 mins of the game playing the game, and the next 6 hours for that matter

Fuck you Warner Bros or whoever made this, you retards spoilt a series which up until this point had been masterfully executed.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, It's hard to top Arkham City, but I'm just glad there is more of the same, even if it's not quite as awesome.

I also remember there being serious issues with crashes and performance for over a month after the PC release for Asylum/City, which in turn was a month after console releases. In comparison this release has been very smooth. apart from the one radio tower you cant climb into the vent but i'm sure there will be a quick fix for that soon.

Oh well you didn't have issues that means that it's impossible for others to have issues with the game. Oh wait, no that doesn't make sense what so ever.

What I said is a factual account of what it's in the game. You don't need to be an "angsty teen" to be upset that a series you've loved from the start has been shat all over.

It's embarrassing to have people who wish to silence others by ejecting from the com,unity simply because they hold an opion they don't share, stop with the ad homs and learn that not everyone shares your opinion.

I'm assuming you're referring to me, I'm not female, nor have ever claimed to be. You do realize that usernames can portray different gender to the actual gender of the user? Not sure why this needs explaining to anyone...

The latest drivers from Nvidia game me an error when installing actually, but it's not just the drivers, the games installer fails to correctly launch the redist packages it requires to run correctly, pretty basic failure to be honest.

I'm sure it will work fine on a single card

I got SLI working in the end, the game was crashing and disabling it

Always found it better to play the arkham series with a 360 controller, except for possibly the predator modes.

Both prior games work flawlessly with the mouse and are extremely enjoyable experiences, there's literally ZERO excuse for a game in 2013 to be missing basic control settings such as mouse sentivity, especially when mice run the gamut of 500dpi to 8000dpi

After getting used to the Arkham City UI it's not that difficult to navigate, but I do agree it's not as pretty, although when has batman ever bothered with being pretty.

First 2 games had really sleek, responsive and well designed UIs, this one is horrible, it's nasty to navigate with the mouse.

I'd say 30 seconds max, much quicker than previous games that had to log in to games for windows live.

Multiplied by the multitude of restarts required in order to get the game working smoothly because you have no idea what your frame rate will be when setting graphics options, the initial crashing makes this far worse.

I spent the first 30 mins of the game playing the game, and the next 6 hours for that matter

I spent the first 2 hours fixing problems, 30 minutes laughing at how pathetic the start of the game was and noticing in game errors, lack of detail on batmans model, and a huge swath of other issues in the singleplayer, then managed to get into the freeroam world where I noticed the lack of detail in the world (despite max settings) and basically the massive step backwards from the first 2 games.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, It's hard to top Arkham City, but I'm just glad there is more of the same, even if it's not quite as awesome.

It's mostly more of the same but everything is just missing that quality the originals had, it was genuinely nice to be playing Batman again but the list of flaws just keep on piling up like a chase scene in a Micheal Bay movie.

It's IMMEDIATELY obvious this was not made by Rocksteady, their attention to detail, especially in the PC ports of the console game is second to none, this takes a great big steamy dump over their franchise, what a diabolical turn of events.

Hope this doesn't turn into COD mentality for a game franchise.

Get a new copy out, go go go!!!!!!!

I just cranked the settings up to max, restarted the game once, experimented with TXAA and MSAA (decided on MSAA) and everything has been running much smoother than the previous games did on launch.

I agree there could be more attention to detail but I think that for the next instalment, both game developers should work alongside the same experts that helped bring the same attention to detail to the previous games and we could really have something even more special. Until then I'm still going to enjoy this game and the previous ones as much as I can.

how is the open world aspect?

is this Batman in a GTA sized city free roaming around doing awesome stuff, or more of the hub-style semi open world of Arkham City?

Pretty much

I could have held out for a sale, but I paid closer to $30 for it so it's not too bad really. I don't mind the repetition of game mechanics as much as I do the grappling. It seems like the ledge detection for grappling through the city just isn't as good as last time. That's the biggest thing I've noticed that I don't care for.
