catlord posted:Oh my God, the combat in the challenge mode really is better than in the story. I felt like I was in full control again. All that whiffing because the timing felt wrong was gone. Which means I should stop playing it so that I don't make Cold, Cold Heart a pain to get into when it drops. Is there a difference? I've never noticed a difference between Origins story mode combat and Origins challange mode. Only thing I can think of is were you playing story mode on hard difficulty? Because I think challenge mode is normal difficulty.

BioEnchanted posted:Something mentioned earlier about reformed villains reminded me of how well behaved Harley tends to be when the Joker is not at home. In the one-shot series Joker's Asylum, one of the comics follows Harley and she is a model inmate, who even brings out the best in Pamela Isely. The problem is that there is one day when she can't sit still. One day on which she cannot resist breaking out of the Asylum again. One day on which she needs to be with her "puddin'". Valentines Day. That was a funny one shot.

I'm not exactly what they changed, but in story mode I felt like my attacks were much slower, and I whiffed a lot more than in challenge mode.

Whenever I see the Hatter platforming sections I can't help but think what an impressive amount of effort goes into them visually. Considering the assets are only used in the "Wonderland" level, a lot of polish was given to the setpieces, the card bridge for example.

Has anyone translated this hex code on the computers in the server room in AO? edit: holy poo poo, it translates. It's a message from Riddler. I'll have it up in a minute. "Joining the GCPD was the easiest thing I ever did. I will find out all of their dirty little secrets. By the time they know what I know, it will be too late. This is only the beginning." ...Well, that's disappointing. As far as I can tell, nobody found it before, though! Man, if only there were better easter eggs, like in the Rocksteady games...

It's City continued, but with new villains and less eye-catching locations. I think one of the reasons people are so down on Origins could be that Asylum and City had locations that could be described as characters of their own or extensions of the villain. In Origins, most of the villains are fought all across the city while it's still normal, so nothing really pops out aside from one segment towards the end of the game.

I've heard this repeatedly, and it seems like it maaaay be PC exclusive. Something is definately different about the story mode combat.

While one of the mad hatters he's derived from in the batman universe is a pedophile( the stupidly grimdark "edgy" serious house arkham, if memory serves), it's quite possible hatter's "Alices" are all adults. It's not particularly clear he's going after them sexually, either. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Apr 15, 2014 |

Didn't the Mad Hatter have a team of crazies who were part of the Wonderland gimmick? They mentioned Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum in Asylum.

In Robin Year One the Mad Hatter is shown to be an incredibly effective villain - given that his role is as a human slaver taking young blonde girls to an african dictator. Also, this is the same comic that has Two Face bludgeoning Robin nearly to death, so its definitely more adult than most. Also a great, great story for what its worth. I'm looking forward to watching other people play the DLC for Origins, since i'm fairly certain it won't be very good at all - but I'm enough of a fan to see it through.

My favorite part about the combat in Origins is pressing counter to see Batman strike that stupid rear end counter pose and then get hit in the head with a steel pipe. He's just trying to look good, why do you guys have to beat up on him?

I'm one of those people who would really like a batman beyond setting, fuckin' jet boots.

Regarding the disruptor in Arkham Origins: Sometimes when I use it on a gun, it doesn't disable it (if I'm watching in detective mode they remain orange). Are some units immune to it? It happens fairly frequent, and I'm trying to work out if there's something I should be looking out for or is it just (another) bug?

I pumped 2 disruptions into 1 guy just before and he was still able to shoot (I was in detective mode at the time so saw as both disruptions locked on, but the dude just remained orange). I've used disruptors plenty of times between City and Origins, so I'm pretty familiar with it locking onto the gun. It's only in Origins it seems to sometimes fail. You could be right and there may be something it's doing I'm unaware of. Do you know what else the disruptor affects on standard guys? Edit: I should add, most the time it does work as it would in City. However it has failed probably 6-7 times for me. When it fails it still uses up one charge of the disruptor.

I don't know, but considering that the opening sequence is 30 minutes long and there's a sidequest dealing with the Anarky thugs that disappeared into subspace in the main story, it seems like it'll be long.
