MeatwadIsGod posted:Oh. So it's basically the default Batsuit with a Batman Begins color scheme. I get why the Batsuit in Origins is more armored than the previous ones since you're dealing with a younger, less confident Batman, but I really don't like the damage effects. By the end of the game the entire suit is just a bunch of scratches. I liked the damage effects in the earlier games because you saw some skin and blood underneath. It'd be nice if we had the option to select an undamaged default or Dark Knight suit because they look kinda cool. It'd be nice if the other Batsuits can get damaged during the course of your game.

Has anyone else gotten a bug where the game completely crashed on "Searching for DLC"? This just started happening to me and I can't access my single player, but Multiplayer works fine. I updated my Nvidia drivers and it still does it.

I could redo the story stuff, I guess, but getting all the Riddler crap again and the aux Batman stuff? Yeah, no. It's tedious enough the first time around.

I'm not disagreeing, but I would like to see all the movie costumes represented. If they're gonna throw in the Begins Batsuit, might as well get the other ones as well. Crashbee posted:I know which one you were referring to, but there's over a dozen different Batmen in Origins now and I have no clue as to the stories behind most of them. Just read about the Red Son one and you'll be satisfied. Well, the Red Son one and Batman Beyond.

Whelllp...

Typical. EDIT : Worst Nightmare

I'll say story wise, Origins is the best one so far. Other than that, what iuvian said. It basically feels like an expansion and some of the combat timing is messed up. For $30 dollars though, it's not bad.

Mazerunner posted:I haven't played it, but the latest Splinter Cell game does something similar, where there are three 'tracks' available: combat, ghost and panther. Combat is full on combat, Ghost is pretty much non-lethal stealth. You can still take guards out, but if it's melee; without the knife. You can also use the Crossbow and the Stungun since both are non lethal. There are also tear gas and sleep gas grenades as well as shock mines. Panther is pretty much lethal stealth. Knife melees and silenced weaponry.

So after getting the dreaded Fatal Error that pretty much wiped all my progress, I managed to get a save file from a fellow goon about roughly where I was in the game. Two weeks later, I finally find the time to beat it. I gotta say, story wise, this one is the best hands down. It doesn't have the atmosphere of Asylum, nor the grizzled, self confidence, never-say-die attitude of City, but it has gritty, dark emotion. I'd have to say that the Firefly fight is my favorite so far, out of the three games. And yes, I agree.. Combat is somewhat hosed right now, especially counter timing. Just rely on the shockgloves and keep moving though and most fights are cake.

An aside to how ridiculous some of the Batmen are : Just looking at that, I have to wonder if Bob Kane ever visualized something as goofy as a grown man in a grey and black suit with purple gloves just viciously beating the poo poo out of common street criminals.

TechnoSyndrome posted:If you like the challenge rooms Bruce Wayne is a completely separate character with his own gadgets, moveset, and set of challenges/medals for each map. If you're only going to play the new maps/challenge campaign that come with him it's probably not worth it. I just wanted it cause of story content, but I'm iffy on paying ten dollars for it if it's not even as long as Harley's Revenge from AC.

Sure the commissioner would have had some dirty laundry aired, but uh, he's dead anyway. Go Team Riddler! Yeah, the Riddler poo poo was such a huge waste of time.

Ugh. Why are these trailers always so gorgeous? Is Arkham Knight supposed to be a sequel to Arkham Origins or Arkham City? Judging by the Batsuit and how young he looked, I'm guessing it's going to be Arkham Origins. Let's just hope that even though it's Rocksteady, the game won't be a buggy piece of poo poo.

Excels posted:There are a bunch of comments on that article with people praising this as a "Next-gen exclusive" so it can be made "from the ground up" -- does PS4 really look that much better than pushing the limits of PS3? I don't see many titles that "take advantage" of the 'advanced graphics' on Xbone or PS4. It really doesn't look all that much better. I think most of that is just marketing poo poo. Games like Arkham Origins and Assassin's Creed 4, etc etc still looked way loving better on my PC than I've seen them on PS3 or 4.

And I dug this up on imdb, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3139086/reference Guess the working title was originally Assault on Arkham? EDIT: I'm a loving moron, this is apparently an animated short.

So I was doing some thinking.. how come Harley doesn't have her tattoos in the trailer? She had a pretty obvious one on her upper right in City : And this is the best still I've seen of her from the Arkham Knight trailer, and you should be able to see her tattoo even with that sleeve :  So is there direct confirmation of this being a sequel to City, or are the devs just lazy? Or am I just dumb and missed something? Skoll fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Mar 5, 2014 |

Robot Hobo posted:The "Ra's, in Talia's body" part happened in Batman Beyond. It was surprisingly horrifying for a kids cartoon, considering he erased Talia's mind to get there, effectively killing his own daughter. Then he used this new body to seduce an elderly (then not-so-elderly, thanks Lazarus pit!) Bruce Wayne. Yet another reason I miss 90s cartoons. You could actually get away with that poo poo.

BoredMarc posted:I just finished all the Riddler stuff after beating Arkham Asylum. I don't think I'm going to do the challenge maps. That's not really the part I enjoyed most about the game. I already own Arkham City. Got both in a humble bundle. Is there as much Riddler stuff in that one as well? Are the "riddles" less stupid. Elfface posted:They don't do the 'Riddles' in City and Origins. Instead, it's complicated arrangements of chickenwire, pressure plates and batarang targets, with the occasional trapped room to navigate. Essentially what Eifface is saying is that in City and Origins, all the Riddler poo poo is a bunch of platforming BS. Some of them will really piss you off too. The one on the boat in Origins used to make me want to rip my hair out because I couldn't just get it ( until I finally did ).
