Forums - Gaming - We NEED to talk about Batman Arkham Origins

When I first got it, I was a little underwhelmed. The story was so-so, lots of slowdowns especially when clearing up the crimes in the streets and the upgrade system kind of sucked. The gameplay was pretty much like AC (not a bad thing), but it felt less epic. So I took a break from it.

Two months later, I continue where I left off, and I'm enjoying this. The game really took it up a notch when Joker was introduced, and after playing that little section, I would love a game where you play as the Joker. The atmosphere & level design were excellent. Also the update did wonders since I haven't experienced any slowdowns.

The only negative thing I can say about this game is that the city is too big for its own good, and no riddles suck too.

I only played one match of MP, and it was pretty nice. However, the wait for eight players to join the lobby is terrible; took about five minutes to fill up all eight slots. I'll get on it more once I finish the campaign.

I have have yet to play it.
Can anyone tell me how good deathstroke is? He's one of my fave DC guys.



I loved Arkham City but for some reason I never bought this one. But if you say its good then I'll get it soon.

Overal I can't wait to finish this game (family using the TV) but I can't help but admire what WB Game Studios has done.  They took a game I was prepared to hate and turned it into a game even BETTER than its predecessors which were two of my favorite games this gen.  That whole sequence with the Joker in the hotel was orgasmic from the voices to the scenarios to the environments everything was just SPOT ON.

Hmm if only there was a system that let u keep playing ur games without the TV...

I've so far only played the online. One of the best online modes I've played in a game this gen. Problem with it though is that it takes too long to get into a game. Not enough people play online and the matchmaking really sucks.

Wii U owners, even though the online is good, you're not missing much. When you can't get into a game simply because you're waiting for players to join that never do or when enough people join other people leave, it's a good thing you don't waste your time with it. I've wasted a lot of time attempting to play multiplayer on both PS3 and 360. 



The side quests are annoying as hell. The rest of the game at its core is good.



I have it on Wii U and i find it to be a good game, a bit laggy but i hear all 3 versions suffer from this,though it seems a little better after the update... it was obviously a little rushed. That aside, its a huge game with a great storyline and graphically its decent too 8/10 from me.



This geek chick on my job sold me the 3DS version of Blackgate for $20 a couple of days ago. I played a few hours of it today. It's also better than I initially expected. I wonder if it can keep up the goodness. $20 well spent.

Really?  I've quite enjoyed the crime scene investigation segments.
