I thought that would be a stepping point in introducing more obscure characters in the game. Another sad part about Black Mask is that he was Hush before Hush was. He hates Bruce Wayne and they knew each other since they were kids. He also hated and killed his parent.

Maybe have Prometheus show up, and be a bossruss kinda situation, where he has different stages based off previous bosses? Clock King? How could they do justice with him? Maybe even bring in Lex Luthor? The Brewery in A:O is one of his holdings in the comics, and deathstroke isn't traditionally a batman villain either. EDIT: Hell, since they have Deadshot, bring in fricking Catman!

Burnley Tower was patched more than a week ago. Steam automatically updates legitimately owned games.Shindragon posted:edit: Are you making sure that getting all updates is ticked in properties? Steam automatically applies the latest updates to a game when you try to start it. You can choose whether to have Steam automatically patch games before you try to start them up, but Steam will always make sure that you are playing the latest version of the game when you try to start it.

Jerusalem posted:I really liked the Joker story in City, but just like in Origins, it overshadows too much of the rest of the game. It's odd, I keep hearing people say this, but I never got this feeling at all (in City, don't have Origins yet). The Joker plot always felt like a B-Plot that happened to end after the main plot. It had some ties to the main plot, yes, but Strange and Ra's were the real villains. And shield guys. I've been playing the challenge maps as Robin and they keep on getting the shield just as I'm about to hit them and it ruins my combo. Stun baton guys are more difficult, but shield guys are more annoying.

Deleuzionist posted:Yup, try playing both games with them off. I've got about 200h clocked in AC and only hate it for the fact that I can't reset new game+ saves so I could play without counter icons all the time. Compared to my experience with AC the camera issues (and insufficient dissimilarity of appearance of different enemy types) in AO ng+ really pop out. Am I remembering things wrong or could you change the difficulty for New Game+ in Arkham City? My first playthrough of Origins was at Normal Difficulty, because that's what I always do for the first runthrough of a game, but I wasn't able to up the difficulty in New Game+ so that save is still listed as normal. I don't think there are any achievements associated with completing the game on Hard mode this time around, so maybe it doesn't matter, or New Game+ and I Am The Night are considered to be steps up in difficulty beyond Hard Mode anyway? But I'm sure I was able to do it in Arkham City, am I just remembering wrong? Commissar Ken posted:I'm not gonna be happy until they cash in on the Ratcatcher reference in Asylum. Hey, Firefly was referenced in Asylum and here he is in Origins, so don't rule anything out!

I think that's another small thing that bothers me about this game. In the first two, there were little hidden objects to find and "photograph" everywhere, and each and every one would be linked to a paragraph or two of back story and Bat-history. It featured characters that didn't appear in the game. AA had stuff for Mr Freeze and Two-Face, among others. And it appears that the objects are all there in this one. Plenty of things to scan. Penguin's family portrait, several movie posters, there's a Queen Industries shipping crate somewhere. It's almost like they were going to have them, and then they got pulled at the last minute.

If the camera is zoomed in too far for you, try changing the FOV. http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Batman:_Arkham_Origins#Field_of_view_.28FOV.29 I used a keybind to change the FOV to 90 and it looked pretty good, although some parts had a little too much fisheye distortion for me. The same fix worked in Asylum and City but I had the same problem with it, so I'm still not entirely sure I want it changed. That actually works out, though, because the keybind solution isn't permanent and sometimes reverts after cutscenes. The bottom solution with like 20 lines of .ini editing looks more permanent.

What glue-sniffing rear end in a top hat thought this Deathstroke fight was a good idea? Especially this early into the game? "Hey guys, I got a neato idea for a battle with Slade! Make the Counter prompt appear with a huge window, but no matter when you press it you get hit! Isn't that an awesome idea for a fight gimmick?!" Well no, it's frustrating bullshit that'll cause you to game over at least once while you try figuring out what the gently caress you're doing wrong. But hey, throw it in anyway, right? Alright, when is it loving safe to punch him? "Hey, let's make it so that, seemingly at random, you get unavoidably counterattacked when you punch him!" Yeah, great idea. Thanks.

I mean yea the whole point of that fight is that you have to figure out his attack patterns and learn when and when not to strike back. There is a high chance you will lose the first time, but I really don't see a problem with that.

Yeah, the whole point is to learn that you can't just mash X and Y to get through fights. Once you figure out the timing/animations and Deathstroke's tells (just like Batman would have to) the fight is actually pretty drat easy, and it gives you a real sense of accomplishment to counter every move he makes and beat him down to the point that he is reduced to the level of all those other thugs out there*, moaning,"What are you!?!  "* Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot!

As an aside, where exactly is that quote from? I know for me personally I heard it first watching an episode of Justice League where Batman is sent an alternate universe where his double is a resistance fighter. He tries to warn Batman about going out to fight crime because "this isn't the world you know" or something like that. Batman's response? "Are criminals still superstitious and cowardly?". I assume it's quote from the comics originally though. Or possibly something older, not sure.

The Martial Artist enemies function the exact same way. They had a delay before you can actually counter them. Also you're pretty obviously not using the Batclaw or other gadgets and then wondering why you lose.

Expect if you notice that when the fight slows down during the animation, that's the way game of saying COUNTER here. Also yeah Batman's quote is from comics. In fact in Arkham Asylum: A serious house on Earth, he says it. Not directly but it's pretty much the same thing.

There's a variation of it in the Nolan film Batman Begins. When Bats takes out the entire Falcone thug contingent at the docks Falcone himself is struggling to load his shotgun and he just blurts out "What the hell are you?!" before our hero pulls him out and tells him "I'm BATMAN."

Also Keaton in his first scene. Seems to be a thing for a new Batman to have a scene where he gets to say "I'm Batman" Although in Keaton's version I think the guy says "Who the hell are you", which isn't as cool.

The only way I got through the Deathstroke fight was by repeatedly using Batclaw Slam, then maybe punching him once or twice afterwards but not too often or he'd do his uninterruptible counter attack because...I have no idea, really, as the game didn't bother giving any worthwhile feedback whatsoever. None of the boss fights in Origins were particularly amazing (though I haven't beaten it so maybe the super final end–of–game boss would surprise me?  ), but that one definitely was among the series' low points as far as I'm concerned.

Don't be scared of the counters, you get plenty of time and the game highlights pretty drat clearly when you should be countering - even without the counter-icons Deathstroke will slow right down at the point that it is time to counter his attacks. Also, if you keep your flow going, you can hit him with combo-takedowns that usually negate his attacks and let you smack him in the face with his own staff. Even if he manages to slip the odd counter through, he won't do near the amount of damage you're doing to him.

To tie my post into the game, I find the voice acting to be really rather good so far.

I think probably my favorite Joker moment ever is in that film The Phantasm has caught him and is about to kill him, Batman is there pleading for sanity, suddenly there's a HUGE explosion in the amusement park and Joker just gapes in astonishment in silence for a few seconds.... and then just bursts out laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing before he and the Phantasm disappear into the mist. I'll always remember that visual of the Joker barely able to stand, held up by the Phantasm with his head thrown back essentially screaming with laughter. That plus the amazing opening theme music and the scene where the GCPD hunt down Batman... God, what a movie.
