Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2: The Pact

BAHAHAHAHAH

So apparently the Riddler choice is bugged right now. If you answered even one question right, then it thinks you answered them all right. You have to answer them all wrong for it to register as answering even one of them wrong

Not sure if I want to go back or just leave it and hope everything will sort itself out. Kinda sucks, bc that was the most intense choice of the first episode and it's broken.

Season 1 is lame. Play season 2 and start with the choice generator.

It's been fixed.


The image of the brokerage has been zoomed in, so all you can see is the open vault and Harley's symbol.

I've honestly forgot the episode was out.

To be honest... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. I don't want to say it retroactively ruined Ep1 for me, but it's simply not what I expected.

We're railroaded into entering The Pact and I'm not sure I like it. It just... doesn't "fit". That's not what Bruce/Batman from Season 1 would do. In S1 we would try to dismantle the organization through detective work and putting the pieces of the mystery together, not through joining them and taking part in the mayhem - not to mention that Bruce is seen with the bad guys and doesn't really care. (notice the Gotham Feed about Bruce being spotted in the presence of John Doe and - determinantly - starting a fight in the bar) It's not the delicate balancing of two personas from S1 anymore - Bruce allows for his public image to be destroyed. It's just... wrong.

Besides, I don't like the fact that the game switched the 'grounded in reality' approach from S1 to 'hey, fantasy and supernatural villains!' in S2. While S1 had it's share of weird stuff, it felt that they were trying to be realistic. S2 premiere maintained that, but now, in Ep2, we suddenly have Bane who injects himself with some magical toxin and Mr Freeze who's a walking fridge. I mean, it's not like I wouldn't want these villains in a game, I just thought that maybe Telltale would reimagine them in a more 'realistic' way.

Oh, and I don't like Harley. It seems like they couldn't settle whether she should be weird or cunning.

I'll give it a 7/10, with a hope that other eps will be better, but this was mostly meh.

First post in over a year! First episode I’ve played in six months! Harley Quinn is very hot! But I can’t go against my best bud John!

And the credits made me sad. Especially in the special thanks where someone thanked their spouse for being so supportive of doing the job they loved. Damn.
