Batman : Arkham Origins (2013) Asylum Prequel

[Biojex]

I dunno...that sparkly fade in on the game title is pretty lame

 

[darthconlan]

Anyone tell us all the assassins yet?

Something i'm wondering about ..
as playing through the game the Cops wanna arrest Batman "Being an origins story" (not a spoiler since its hinted through the trailers)

Why's The Bat Signal always on? .. in other words what's it doing in an origins game .. i see it happening after GCPD recognizes Batman .. but not from the begining and being on the whole time

It's not the actual Bat Signal, it's only a marker for an objective you're supposed to go to. Haven't you played Arkham City?

i did, but never knew it was supposed to help me out .. thought it was a bat signal during Arkham city

Well my Origins has officially shipped from Amazon... Come on Friday....

Beaten 4 assassins so far.

The bosses in this game rely on hand to hand combat rather than gadgets in previous games so that's nice.

Is croc classed as an assassin?

 

[pturtle]

Got the game, really enjoying it so far. Its pretty much the same as the other games but thats fine with me as long as the story delivers, and so far I think it is.

Not exactly a spoiler, but just in case:

Spoiler

No. He's just a hired thug.

But In Arkham city it actually is the Batsignal, its just Rocksteady made cool use of the Batsignal to also mark your waypoint.

For Origins, The new Devs should of found a different way to mark the waypoint, since the Batsignal technically should not exist yet. Maybe like have the Batwing hover over that spot or Have a bunch of Bats floating around...

Spoiler

He is one of the eight assassins

No, in Arkham City it was NOT meant to be a Batsignal. It was simply a waypoint marker. Batsignals dont spout out of thin air on pavements etc etc

 

[Cunning562]

how do you guys have it if it's barely coming out on the 25

Chalk it up to Augmented Reality; Bats' cowl includes a virtual mapping system that pinpoints locations and marks them for him.

Just beat the story mode! Whohoo. Now to do all the side quests. Great game, a solid 8/10. Ask me anything if you guys want.

Who are the assassins and other villains in the game mate?

 

[Jameson Rook]

Who are the assassins and other villains in the game mate?

I think at least one of them don't appear in the story and was reserved for the side missions. I have to say, Bane is the true star here- there's a bit where he's actually scary. I'm glad they did Bane so well in this unlike AA and AC.

As for the villains aside from the assassins, I encountered, they are:

Spoiler

Mad Hatter.
Edward Nigma (pre-Riddler).
Harleen Quinzell (pre-Harley Quinn).
Killer Croc.
Penguin.

And the 8 assassins mate?
