So, remember a blog I posted a couple of weeks ago about encountering a glitch during a mission in Batman: Arkham City? You don't? Well, look it up.
But I'll recap anyway: an early mission (in which you rescue Mr. Freeze from The Penguin) required you to disable 3 communications disrupters surrounding the area of the building where Mr. Freeze is being held. Until you disable these, you can't bypass the security and progress any further. I had luck locating and disabling (*) two of them but a third was located in the subway section and I couldn't enter it because a gate was blocking the way. For some reason, I couldn't progress any further and I was sure it was a glitch.
I started the game over. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The problem was still there. I tried again this morning to see if the problem was still there and it was. I contemplated ending the game, deleting the save file and started from scratch. That is, under I decided to retrace my steps to the previous 2 disruptors.
I discovered that the disrupters had multiple (well, 3) panels to punch through and destroy before they were gone for good. ONLY when this happened, would you trigger some audio cues from The Penguin and his henchmen. I repeated this with the 2nd disrupter and the audio cues came again; this time they indicated that the third was in the subway. Interesting. That means....
I go to the subway entrance. Sneak past the enemies. Walk down the stairs and low and behold, the gate was no longer there. I was simultaneously happy and perplexed, followed soon by embarrassment. "I was sure it was a glitch". It happened to be something that I failed to do or something I neglected. And while I feel like a dumbass, I'm really glad that the problem wasn't a glitch.
So, disaster (of an hilariously minor scale) averted and I can continue on with this game.
Work? Ah...you don't want to know about that boring stuff.
I had a similar experience recently in a game I was playing. Was sure it was a glitch, but it wasn't a part of the main story, so I was going to just sigh and go on. Then I checked online and discovered that I'd just missed something. Restoration of happiness.
I'll have to get around to ths game at some point. I bought it for my brother for Christmas, as well.
I feel like a dumbass every time I solve a Ghost Trick puzzle. "Why was that not obvious?" Hey, at least you got further into City than I ever did in Batman Forever on SNES when I was little ... literally the first screen. That is where I got stuck the entire rental period.
Batman punching panels.....did anyone upload that to youtube? "Take that,panels! I'm Batman!" (Everyone looking at Bruce awkwardly as he has a "mad drunk fight" against inanimate objects!)
I got stuck in Beyond Good and Evil and I thought it was a glitch. I think some door wouldn't open or something. I probably just did something wrong though. I have to go back to it and figure it out.
Who would've thought you needed to destory it competely to progress. Did they not look like you could destroy them completely.
