I've spent today loving around in City, sharpening my bat-skills. Using every gadget to sett up a fight with 4 or 5 gun-wielding thugs without taking a single point of damage still feels incredible.

Deathstroke fight ruled. I was hoping for just a straight-up mano-a-mano fight with him, and that's what I got. The actual fight animations were gorgeous too. Really, yeah, a lot has been rehashed. But hell, I loved the gently caress out of Asylum and City, and so far I'm loving the gently caress out of Origins. Why should I give a gently caress about a review?

Not sure how spoiler-y this is, but it's game-breaking until it gets patched, so I feel I need to warn people. DO NOT TRY TO SOLVE THE TOWER PUZZLE IN BURNLEY. You will be trapped because there's a glitch in it right now that means you can't complete the puzzle.

Rookersh posted:Out of curiosity, isn't this a large problem? So far I haven't been able to get into any of the towers until the plot demands it. You can get INTO the Burnley tower (at least at the point of the story I'm at) but you have to climb through a vent during the puzzle, but you have to grapnel up to it. When you do, you can only hang from the vent, not actually climb into it, and when you started the puzzle, the entrance you used to get in locks behind you. So you get trapped inside and the only way out is to load an earlier checkpoint. One negative point I've found: Gliding feels...off. I dunno what's changed between AC and now, but I much preferred AC's gliding. Plus the no-fly areas seem much more abundant and obtrusive. More than once I've been gliding to an objective and I've just...run out of places I can grapnel. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Oct 25, 2013 |

Honestly, I dunno if I'm near the end of the game. I mean, the way the story is going, I think I am, but I've not even SEEN Deadshot or Shiva yet. I've got rid of Firefly, and just resuscitated Alfred using Electrocutioner's gloves  The Remote Claw makes the best noise ever, by the way. "Phump-fssss-phump."

Spiritus Nox posted:So, I've been hearing that this game is sort of more of the same with regards to City - are there any steps back in here, or is it more refined? (Or neither, I suppose) That includes story, though don't spoil me when you answer. If the game's as good or better than City, that won't be much of a problem for me. I'd say, bar a few niggles, it's on a par with City. The story is also, in my opinion, the best of the series.

The difficulty is really nice too. The second time you go into Blackgate, when Joker takes it over, there's a HUGE brawl where it's 30+ inmates vs you. What's great is: It doesn't feel like artificial difficulty. It took me 4 tries to get past it, but I didn't feel cheated after each death. Every time I just felt like "If I tighten up my control and work on my reversals, I'll be able to take this. Oh, and I finished the last inmate, who had a shield, with an aerial attack with shock gloves active

The third bossfight with Bane, after he injects himself with Titan  There's more tension in that one fight than in THE ENTIRE REST OF THE GAME. It also does ANGRY BANE more justice than any other representation I've seen. He is a loving MACHINE.

I am here to cloud your judgement and to tell you all YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE. It's probably my GotY, and like I said, I've not even started on the side missions. chaosapiant posted:Is it just me, or does this game run better on higher graphic settings than Arkham City did? I have a 660ti, and can turn everything up with the exception of AA which is FXAA high, and the game runs like butter. AC was constantly chugging if I had DX11 tessellation activated. Man this is good so far. I'm on a fairly average gaming PC (i5-2300, 7850) and the entire game bar one scene was like smooth as silk. For some reason the only scene that dropped my FPS was the first time you meet Barbara. There's not really anything that would obviously cause it, but hey, it's a short scene.

Sedisp posted:Killing Joke good or video game good? If it's the former I'm out sixty bucks. Not quite Killing Joke good, but that's like asking if every new movie is Citizen Kane good. If I'm comparing it to the level of arcs, it's around Long Halloween or Under the Hood level. So fantastic, but not quite Killing Joke, Dark Knight Returns or SHoSE.

He's way up there with Knightfall Bane in terms of competence. He's certainly not just a mindless brute. Yes, he's on Venom, but he's naturally huge too.

Solomonic posted:the final boss (man that was tense) The final boss made me feel more like Batman than any other moment in the series. Having to stalk around in the shadows, taking Bane by surprise, was great, and he was legit loving scary. Also, tip that I didn't realize until just before the final boss: If you run and slide into a vent grating, you'll go straight through it instantly.

Solomonic posted:I beat the game, have finished all but one of the Most Wanted cases (the final one) and all the character profiles except the one in the top right are unlocked. That one locked profile is driving me crazy, I have to find it. So, in series canon, we have Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger and Rick Flag as members. I dunno if Harley would be, but if she was, it'd be great, but those 4 would be decent enough.

Also, one of the data packs in Diamond District requires the fully-upgraded Disruptor. You need to disrupt 3 jammers, which you can't do until it's fully upgraded. So now I need to grind up FIVE levels.  Edit: OH YOU CLEVER loving GAME. You can ALSO unlock it using the cryptograhpic sequencer if you've upgraded it's range, by standing far enough away from the jammers.

FallenGod posted:Oh boy this fight with Deadshot is getting annoying. Take out his first wave of goons then beat him down three times and immediately hide, because another wave of goons has appeared with zero warning! Take out this wave and beat him down once and immediately hide, because he'll phase through your cape stun to take a hostage! Now you get to fight a jammer wave and if you make any noise ever for any reason the hostage dies and you lose! I guess that leaves only the silent takedown, since literally everything else that you do results in a dead hostage. There's an easy trick to this fight. Ignore the goons. They spawn infinitely. It's like the Catwoman/Two-Face fight from the end of AC. Just keep hitting takedowns on Deadshot, then once he takes the hostage, just get him with a silent takedown.

Hav posted:Subject change; Anyone claiming that they 'lifted' the city directly from AC really needs to load it up and take a look. Without getting into a lot of detail, Origin's Gotham is a shitton more vertical and _builds_ on AC rather than replacing it. The differences are subtle in places, but go take a look at actual landmarks in AC and see what they did. I'm actually impressed with the continuity. I was genuinely pretty impressed by the fact that the path Bruce takes up the Ace Chemical building at the start of City is still intact in Origins. Like, there's no reason to use that path, but the fact that they kept it in 1:1 was a nice little detail.
