[ALL] Batman: Arkham Origins

[SethMode]

The plot leaked. It's really, really bad. But I'm buying anyways, because Batman.

Where did you find it? Through google and I can only find the achievements and they aren't exactly obvious, at least, not to me. I have had my guess as to where the story would go, and thought it would be a little goofy, but not really, really bad. I find it hard to believe that it could be much worse than the first 2 stories.

I think that trailer is badass and gets me hard.

You will need to make an account to view the spoiler section. There are playthrough videos of the entire game on youtube.

Obvious spoilers, in spoiler tag. Don't open if you don't want to be spoiled:

 

The big plot twist revealed half way through the game is that the Joker kidnapped blackmask before the events of the game. The bounty put out on Batman's head was made by the Joker pretending to be blackmask. The joker is the big bad of the game, again.

Also midway through the game, the Joker is arrested and taken to Black Gate. He then meets Harley, and manages to convince her to release him. Mind you, this whole game takes place over one night. So Harley is corrupted in about five minutes time. :rofl:

So this is rather intriguing. While trying to find the on/off switch and battery compartment on the statue, I came across this little something...

Secret Superman Origins Game Spoiler...

Play as his dad all the way up until you send Supes to Earth.

...special Zod DLC if you pre-order.

 

I'm sorry if this is true...

I thought this was a pretty cool:

Fuck the haters and their "bad" reviews.

Lovin' me some Batman and getting some of the first combos in feels like putting on an old pair of shoes.

Fits well.

 

[SethMode]

Gonna go ahead and agree with the Dizzle here. This game is fucking TITS. Yes it's more of the same. More of the best melee combat ever made, and more of the over the top comic awesome from the previous game. This is the definitition of a game that makes me think that while reviewers might not be taking cash, they are definitely rating based on developers and status. This game is more of the same, but it's more of the same made better. Considering the reviews for Bioshock: Infinite (great game), you'd think people would be okay with that.

Just bought Arkham City for $15 on Amazon. I wanted to try this game but since I never played the first two I wanted to get an intro first.

 

[CCBrink]

Likely give this a rent and power through before the PS4 drops. Can't even imagine how good the Next Gen Arkham will be.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

so the website Destructoid game this game a 3.5/10 for "being the kind of exploitative garbage that has steadily eroded so much faith in the so-called "AAA" gaming scene..."

Everytime I read something by Jim Sterling that I find somewhat bearable, he finds a way to turn around and do/say something exceedingly stupid and it's always just drenched in insufferable language.

Page views and discussion points.

The problem with "voting with your wallet" is the heavy reliance on word-of-mouth and what paid reviewers (rather it be via paycheck or coin from publishers) say if you can't come up with your own opinion.

Since gaming's still expensive as fuck to keep up with, you see people who rely on guys like Sterling who love to stir up discourse with reviews like his.

I won't point a finger and say that he was told by his superiors to give Ghosts a big score so the office would score a big check from Activision but damned if it don't smell fishy.

Just a heads up: don't know if this is the case in the console version, but the PC version has a glitch that can force a restart. In the Browley area Enigma tower, when you hack the computer, a gate locks you in, with your only option a grate. When you grapple up to the grate after pulling it off, Batman will not be able to climb in. I found a youtube video that can fix it, but it's WAY too bizarre (I don't even know how the dude figured it out).

I've just been ignoring it for now, until it's patched. I will definitely say, I have encountered far more bugs and jank in this one than in the previous two.
