ThermoPhysical posted:Robin is in the game and there is 3 on 3 on 2 multiplayer as well. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/31/be-or-beat-batman-in-arkham-origins-multiplayer-mode/ quote:Despite holding a career-defining grudge against them, Batman has just gained a few bullets for the back of his game's box. Batman: Arkham Origins will ship with a competitive online multiplayer mode developed by Splash Damage, the studio behind Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Brink. So it sounds like no, it won't harm the single player. And come on, complaining about the continuity of including Robin in a multiplayer mode, really? It sounds like it would be a lot of loving fun to me, and is almost exactly how I'd want an Arkham multiplayer mode to be.

TL posted:I love the idea of a team deathmatch where there's this stealth vampire who you have to avoid while killing your opponents. I can't wait to have a bead on a thug and poo poo my pants when Batman strings me up from a gargoyle. Exactly! What's not to love about that? I hope they keep Disarm and Destroy in, I would totally just sneak up on a dude to destroy his weapon and grapple away.

Hammill's Joker is great and iconic and all and I guess you want at least a soundalike for the Arkham continuity, but how long does it have to be after he retires before people quit loving blubbering about how anyone who isn't him or doesn't try to sound like him isn't the "real" Joker?

ZearothK posted:It also explains why the Batman refuses to kill. If the spoiled children of the 1% didn't drive him to murder, there isn't much that the mentally ill criminals of Gotham can do. Why haven't any Batman comics covered that period anyway? For all I know, witnessing the death of his parents instantly aged him 20 years. Hakkesshu posted:I straight up think they ruined the collectible aspect in City by never knowing when to say stop. There were so many Riddler tokens it was ridiculous. Collecting them ended up feeling like busywork, and it never felt as creative as in Asylum. I really hope they scale it back for this one. Arkham City is one of the few games where I actually liked the collectathon aspect enough to get them all, myself. Diff'rent strokes I guess. Shumagorath posted:I'm reserving judgement for the actual game (pre-ordered at 25% on GMG) but the new Batman and Joker actors sound like they're trying really hard to be Kevin and Mark but it's not working. In case you guys don't browse SA-Mart too often, there are like 3 or 4 different people who have gotten their hands on download codes for Arkham Origins that come with video cards and have been selling them for $25 - $30 a pop. I dunno if there are pre-order bonuses or what, but odds are none of them are as good as 50+% off. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Oct 18, 2013 |

Crappy Jack posted:Yeah, I wasn't a fan of how they were all NIGMA IS DANGEROUS PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE, because my favorite goddamn thing in the entire series is how the Riddler stuff in AA consisted of you being such a badass that you tracked him down and stopped him without even breaking your stride. You defeat the Riddler with less effort than it takes to take out the trash, because you're the goddamn Batman. You solve puzzles like that for breakfast. It seemed more like "NIGMA IS A SMUG PRICK PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE" to which I was more than happy to oblige.

Yeah, going by the last two games you should have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into at this point with a third game using the same engine. Unless they massively poo poo the bed then odds are you'll like the single player in this one if you liked the single player in the others.Jerusalem posted:It played very intuitively for me, everything felt natural and the more I played, the more it became second nature. I imagine I'd feel the same way if I'd used the controller from the start, and that I'd struggle if I then made the switch to m/kb. I played Asylum on PC with mouse/keyboard and City on Xbox with a controller. The controller is so much better. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Oct 20, 2013 |

Ineffiable posted:No lie, I'm only getting Origins, because I can split a preorder for it on PSN on the PS3, so I only need to pay $30 for my copy. With the PS4 launch 2 weeks after and the deluge of holiday titles, I would really skip it at full price, and see if it hit below $30 on Black Friday. I would say odds are against that happening, but I did get a few games like Borderlands 2, rear end Creed 3, and Xcom for $25 last year when they'd only been out a month or two.

Beeez posted:I guess it's up to personal taste, and maybe you played City more than me, but I personally don't feel burnt out on it like you do. That being said, Asylum's more enclosed, creepy atmosphere was really cool, even though I felt City was still more fun overall. I played the everloving poo poo out of City and I'm still good for more, regardless of which style it follows (my money would be on City, it makes more sense given what I've heard about it). I would be a bit more apprehensive if I'd paid more than $25 for it, but at that price I can think of it as a decently sized Arkham City DLC.

I figured I would be fine playing this on Hard since I batmanned the poo poo out of the previous games on the hardest level, but is it just me or are the spidey sense indicators very misleading? If I'm in the middle of beatdowning a dude and another guy comes at me, most of the time I'm still getting hit even if I mashed Y way ahead of time.

GuyCastle posted:It's definitely not you, the timings on most moves are slightly different. In AC, you had a lot more leeway when it came to timing your counters, but now you have to almost presciently press the counter button. I actually figured it out, I forgot I had my PC passing through my Revue, which causes a massive video delay. I plugged it in direct and now it's time to teach these lowlifes some god damned bat-respect.

randombattle posted:So for the random crimes that are big brawls should I not punch out the cops too? Did I miss something cause I don't seem to get a good grade when I run away after all the criminals are down but that seems odd that I should be running around punching cops trying to stop crimes. I dunno, but I think you're safe to keep punching people in the face until it does the slowmo shot signifying the end of the battle. I have yet to see cops in the fights but I'm not that far in yet.

Gunder posted:Found a show stopping bug in one of the side quests. When you're sorting out the radio tower in the same part of the city that contains the GCPD building, you enter a small room, the only exit from which is a small vent high up in the ceiling. After bat-clawing the vent cover off, you grapple up into the vent only to find that you can't actually make Batman climb up and into the vent, instead he just clings uselessly to the outside of the vent like he's hanging from a ledge. Tried reloading the game several times, same result every time. Luckily, it doesn't checkpoint you as soon as you enter that room, other wise i'd be stuck in that little room until they patch the game. As it stands I was able to reload the last checkpoint and just continue on with the main story line. MrBadidea posted:Just got hit by this. I spent about 10 minutes farting around checking the keyboard bindings trying to see if I was missing something obvious. Then I spent another 5 minutes wondering if this was some rear end in a top hat anti-piracy showstopper, like what was used in Asylum, and the game was flaking out thinking my legit Steam copy was Quoting this from a few pages back because I just ran into this one, in case anyone else does and is wondering what the gently caress Batman's problem is. Fortunately you can fast travel to get out of there. edit: derp beaten two posts up

Yeah, it's hard to see. No, it's not actually explained anywhere in the game. I had to figure it out my drat self. It explains it to you when you first encounter them, it even goes into slo-mo so you can see what to do.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Also, has anyone else noticed how hosed over the counter trigger seems to be? I'm pretty decent at nailing the click when the opportunity comes up, but it seems like it'll still fail an annoying amount of times out of 'x' number of times, and I'm using a rather new mouse. Yeah, definitely happening to me where I get hit even if I mash Y when a guy has spidey senses over his head but I can't tell if it's buggy or just one of the following: - Guy offscreen also trying to hit me and I didn't hit the counter button enough times (I've been hit by some motherfucker who Gumbys in from offscreen to punch me so many times it's loving ridiculous) - Less invincibility frames for certain moves in this game vs. Arkham City (the cape stun seems to have a much smaller AOE, for one) - Can't cancel out of certain moves to counter as easily as in Arkham City

Grey Fox posted:Biggest difference I've noticed after playing City for the past week to prime myself for Origins is that the thugs tend to bunch up a lot more in Origins, almost to the point where they're clipping through each other when they're right on top of you. Unlike City, Origins doesn't seem to grant you the same leeway and Batman just kind of careens into a blob of guys, only hitting one and leaving you open to getting smacked around. The dodge doesn't seem to be as effective in Origins, either, leaving you more open to attack. I'm playing on Hard, odds are they're faster. I'm also on PC with an Xbox controller.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:I think you just need to be more vigilant with counters than you do in the others, because you cant fit in as many attacks without getting hit in this one. You can't cancel out of moves into a counter like in City either, and I've noticed that if you attack a guy who's already got spidey sense lines over his head, he will get priority on the hit every time. That keeps messing me up because it makes it a lot harder to get a combo started.
