More freezing issues on my last session.

I strongly advise backing up your current save to a flash drive, or to the cloud before you start playing, and then once again when you finish.

All it takes is for one of those freezes to happen during an auto-save and your file is trashed.

Quite honestly, the technical issues Im having with the game are what holds it back from being truly great. I remember Arkham City having the one big bug where it wouldn't load up at all if you were signed in to XBOX LIVE for the longest time. Had to go offline, launch the game, and then sign in after.

This game though, whew. Brutal. Im just constantly on edge, wondering if I should exit the game and back up my save file after Ive made a bit of progress because Im so dreadfully afraid of an untimely freeze corrupting my entire file.

I had another issue last night where I had to restart to get it to work right. I did some challenges in the batcave, and switched my costume up when I did it. When I got back to the batcave, I was in my original costume and when I pulled up the Batsuit Chamber, all I got was some weird coding underneath the original batsuit avatar, and I couldn't scroll down to my other suits.

All in all, this game could have used another month of testing and polishing up to get the kinks out. They easily could've justified a Christmas release, given that the time period of the story is Christmas Eve.

When its working, and running smoothly, the game is really fun.

If I had to sum it up, its like if Rocksteady were a band, then Arkham City was their biggest hit and Warner Brothers is a cover band performing the same song and not quite doing enough to make it really stand out as their own.
