Batman : Arkham Origins (2013) Asylum Prequel

[Tornadoflame]

i am taking my time with the game, and it's a Great game..

Joker is scary and crazy ! ..

but being Gotham City .. thought there would be people in it? i've never seen a game that is set in a city with no citizens ..Granted there is a "Curfew" ..but even in these situations there should be some ppl atleast breaking that law .

The scenario of having ppl in Gotham if Batman is in public is they would call the police and then we should have a fight.

All the people that's breaking the law are on rooftops lol.

Between the curfew and winter storm and what night it is and possibly the time of night, its reasonable to assume most people would be in doors. I would expect some CARS on the roads though. But its a minor gripe

I just finished and really enjoyed it. I think the reviews were a tad harsh. They improved on a few things, the boss fights for example were great. I especially enjoyed the Deathstroke fight and the first Bane encounter. I miss solving the Riddler's clues but I know they wouldn't work in this story for obvious reasons. I always enjoyed tracking down references to the other Bat characters in AA and AC. I feel there is something slightly off about the combat, although I may just be rusty. I had zero glitches or errors, but I hope the problems get fixed soon for those of you that do.

It was fun, and if they release some single player expansion packs I will definitely buy them.

I anybody else having problems getting the Bird side mission to start? I've read this is a problem that others are having, but I'm trying to figure out what someone else did to get it to unlock.

I'm in the final area of the game, and no, the combat is off. I played through AA (beaten 6-7 times) and AC (beaten 3 times) like a month, month and a half ago, and in this game the combat is much more difficult. It doesn't award counters as often and enemies get in a lot of cheap shots. In one section in which I realized I had to beat about 15 unarmed guys to progress, I just thinned them by throwing a smoke pellet, swooping down, knocking out one then grappling back up and repeating the process until they were gone.

During one section, I noticed some ninjas with swords were poking me from 20 feet away lol. It happened twice.

But I do enjoy the game overall, still like AA the most and so far AC maybe a smidge better than this one to this point. I've only had one game freeze so far and I'm almost done, but I've had 1-2 every time I play through AC too.

I am very addicted to this game !


I just beat the mad hatter and I think I will be fighting bane soon.

18% done.

GAH! I had my first ever corrupt save in any game today. Was done with the story, 8 of the 10 side missions, over half way done with Riddler and the Prisoner roundups too! Was going to start a game+ mode soon, but now I'm back to just playing through the game AGAIN on the first pass through :

Just beat this game.

Spoiler

Should I even get excited over the possibility of a Deathstroke game?

I'm not so sure it will be a "Deathstroke" game so much as a Suicide Squad game. But Deadshot is more SS than Deathstroke, so who knows. But I'd much rather see WBM do that game than another Arkham game. Let RockSteady do those and let WBM expand the Arkhamverse.

When it rains, it pours, I guess - regarding freezing.

I hadn't had any issues, and am now at the

Spoiler

Shiva side mission.

No freezes until this point, but during this mission I've had four complete system lock ups, requiring me to turn the XBox on and off.

Apparently at the end of the PSVita game Amanda Waller also recruits Deadshot and Bronze Tiger. I've also read recently that a Suicide Squad game was confirmed as being in development by Geoff Johns last year.

I also think Waller sounded allot like the actress who played her in JLU, so if they have brought her back it's likely that she is heavily involved in something else rather than just being hired for one line in a post credits scene.

I would definitely like this idea, especially since it seems that they are going the Assassin's Creed and CoD route of annual releases. (This is just me, but it looks like that's the idea right now) I think it'll be exactly like you're suggesting. Rocksteady handles the main Arkham games, and WBM will do the "EU" stuff.

Have you completed the Vita game?? I'm holding off on playing that until I 100% the main game. Is there any tie-ins with the rest of the Arkham stuff??

I don't own a Vita so I can't play it, I only know about that connection because I was reading a discussion about the after credits scene.

I'm more and more convinced that there's going to be another game between this and asylum.

Trying to beat Deathstroke on Game plus. Not going so well...

Play it defensive; use the Batclaw slam and evade whenever possible, and, whenever you trigger the counter sequences, only hit the counter button when everything slows down.

Did you beat him on hard? I played on hard with no hints, so I was wondering if NG+ was much harder? That fight was fun as hell though. The counter icons make the game too easy.

I haven't even beat the game on my account yet, but I did beat AO at a friend's house the day it came out, and the last time we got together, he wanted me to try to takedown Deathstroke on his NG+ game, which I did, on my first try. That being said, I had previously tried the Deathstroke Boss Battle on my account at home about 15 times (in order to get the "point for point" trophy). It really isn't that difficult of a boss battle if you don't panic, and wait for him to come to you.

One day my collectors edition will finally arrive through the post. One day...

They might have even patched out all the major bugs by then with a bit of luck...
