Lady Shiva has to be in. I don't know how they'd make a fight with her and do it justice though. It obviously has to be a one-on-one, close quarters battle; and it should be more intimate and detailed than the current combat system. Press 'Y' to dodge the best martial artist in the world just won't feel cool.

Iacen posted:But honestly I would like it if the Joker wouldn't be in a future game at all. I'm not that into Batman, so I don't know who could be a worthy adversary, but I would like an alternative to the Joker. I think the creators or the Arkham games have done a well enough job that they should be making some new villains of their own.

Batman '89 was a masterpiece. I saw it with my family on VHS, back when watching a movie in any form was an ordeal, and we all hated it. 8 years after that, and until this day, it is one of my favorite movies. We all wanted to see a more adult version of "BLAM", "YOINK", "POPPO"; and we didn't get it. We got something new. But once I got over that, I saw how brilliant the confusion of 1939 cars in a 1989 world was, and how having Prince do the soundtrack was so between comical and serious, and how amazing the movie was just as piece of art with some action and the best depiction of Bruce Wayne as Batman was. No movie has ever shown Batman/Bruce to be the driven psychopath that was shown in that movie. No other movie besides the Burton Batmans made you feel like Bruce is Batman's alter ego instead of the Nolan films where Batman is Bruce's(seemingly reluctant) alter ego. I wish this were the thread were I could write more about it, but it isn't. Batman 89 is a combination of Beetlejuice and a decently gritty Batman comic. How can you not think that is magnificent?

Neo Rasa posted:I don't even know how his filmography is even possible. Like how do you go from Beetlejuice and Batman '89 to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. How did Spielberg go from Jurassic Park to War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones 4, and whatever the gently caress else he does now. Once you make your money, you have your money, and if making a little bit more doesn't cost you anything then why not do it?

Samurai Sanders posted:I like Tim Burton and all but I didn't think he's in the league of Spielberg in terms of being able to rest on his laurels and just make boring movies for the rest of his career. Or maybe he is? Speilberg didn't really have too many movies that stand the test of time. All of his hits were Ke$has that never adapted(except for the first 3 Indys). At least Burton's movies were weird as gently caress, and were at least risks. I respect lovely Burton much more than I respect lovely Spielberg. Spielberg was always generic, but the best at being generic. I'm not taking away from what he did in the 80's, but it was more of him going with the flow better than others than actually being good at making theater. Problem is that he stuck with what he knew when the world moved onto to better things. I still haven't seen Lincoln because sucking historical figure's dicks is so 1980s.

Ok then. It's nearly baseless since we only see 1/4th of a second of this scene in the trailer, and that we don't see her in the other games, but does anyone else think that the woman at 1:49 may be Leslie Thompkins?

Trickjaw posted:Not a sign of the Joker. This could go either way. He's not one of the assasins, but we know he is there. He has got to be there for something Current rumor, from those that have been playing the game is that The Joker is somehow operating on information sent him from the future, about his death from the disease caused by the titan formula, and that he is manipulating the entire scenario in a way that young Batman will have enough experience by the end of the game to take on Bane. He then creates a situation where Batman must kill Bane, making certain that Bane cannot be experimented on in Arkham Asylum, thus never giving The Joker the opportunity to kill himself with the titan formula.

I just beat the game. I now know what every review meant when they kept saying it was more of the same, but wrote as if that were a bad thing. The video game journalists were correct, but they have no grasp of the language. What they should have said is "Goes out of its way to be more of the same". This is a good game. Many people should buy it, and many people will enjoy it, but the uselessness of this studio seeps out continuously. Every cut scene skips frames or audio on my xbox, every fight ignores at least one obvious controller input, and there are times when the camera is your worst enemy. I'll say that the story is good for portions of the game. In fact, there are portions where the story is the best of the trilogy at times. There was a point where I hated the story, and the story brought me back into really, really loving the game again...and then made me hate it again, and I eventually settled upon strongly disliking the story permanently. Many parts of the city are reused from AC, but that is a good thing. Gotham city is Gotham city. It should look like it did in previous iterations. But that's where the honorable reuse of previous game assets ends. Gameplay wise: you get glue bombs that act exactly like freeze bombs, they haven't learned that having goons fight along side nearly every single boss is not fun, and (End game spoiler) They even have Joker read a poem over the credits(instead of singing a song). The similarities between this game, and the previous games are blatantly forced. In the end they were so afraid of being less or more than their predecessor that they became the scarlet kingsnake to the Rocksteady coral snake. The game isn't lazy, it isn't bad. It's just cowardly. There is an aura of cowardice about this game, and while the reviewers smelled it, they did not know how to put it into words. By the way 7.5/10. I'm happy with my purchase.

After every punch I throw I have to wait half a second to make sure that nobody is going to punch me, since I cannot interrupt my punch animation to counter. The flow is just dead. The more I play it, the more I realize how much this ruined the game. I don't swoop down and fight gangs for the fun of it any more. Instead I try to avoid them like some normal non-bat person.

Bushmaori posted:Joining with the gripes about the camera, Jesus fudging Christ. I know nothing about programming, anybody know if its hard to program the auto camera so it contains a view of all combatants within x meters or something? It seems like something that could very easily be remedied with a tiny bit of thought and I'm pretty sick of getting hit by people out of screen and having the camera rotate up against a wall then stick there giving me a really good view of Batman's feet. I once had a fight where 10 seconds of which was the camera being positioned on the ground and looking directly up through Batman's crotch.

I've been playing the challenge rooms, and I'm finding that I fight much better in them than in the main game. It seems like Batman can counter in mid attack much easier than in the main game. I went up against a group that contained 2 shields, 2 body armors, and 1 huge guy that needs the triple cape stun to hurt; and I kicked rear end until the camera started bugging out. This combination would destroy me in the actual game. In addition, I saw a double counter that I've never seen in the main game where Batman suplexes one thug into another. I even tried not using any of the special moves to simulate that it is impossible to get your meter up in the main game since the main game gives you few normal thugs near the end of the game to see if I was just fooling myself, and I still did as well as I used to in AC. I know that combat being different in the challenge rooms would not make sense. Has anybody else experienced this?

PantsBandit posted:just finished the game and wow that ending was abrupt. I guess maybe it's because the story wasn't very centered on any one villain or conflict but that game felt really short to me. Me too. I doubted the game up until The Joker was revealed, and it seemed like he was going to be the main villain. and at that point I started to hate it. Then once he was put away, I was left wondering if the main villain was Bane or Black Mask just taking over Joker's plan. So I started the game over again with a new respect for the game, and to show my sister the awesome scene where Batman saves Joker's life, just to end up learning that The Joker is the main villain yet again; and on top of it, the final boss is not only a knock-off Mr. Freeze fight, but is also a slightly smarter version of Bane from the George Clooney movie.

Actually pulled off a ground slam -> counter to end a round right now. I thought I was just rusty in the Origins campaign but there is definitely something different to the timings in the story. Like, I just took out a hundred guys with mixed armaments no sweat in the challenge room, it's like I'm back in City in terms of flow + added shock gauntlets so you can punch right through armored guys and shields. Did they copy the code from AC for the challenge rooms, but change it for the main game? Is that even realistic? I'm a programmer, but not nearly as talented as the idiots who hosed this game up.

Dr.Smasher posted:It just seems to me that something is just missing. The boss fights so far are good, I haven't encountered any glitches, the voice acting is pretty good, but something just seems off. I can't explain it. The problem with this game is that you can tell that it was made by pussies. They had every advantage, yet were so afraid of failure that they didn't dare to do use the power that was handed over to them. The reason you don't like the game is the same reason why you don't like having a weakling in your home. You tell him to make himself at home and offer him a drink and try to include him in conversations; but no matter how much you want to actually make this guy feel comfortable all he's doing is cowering behind his sister, who brought him here, hoping that she's ready to go home. I mean, he's not hurting anything, but you just can't get over what a loving wimp he is. Arkham Origins just oozes that feeling. Glue grenades.

AO's combat sucked. Too many combo breaking enemies, which Batman targeted automatically when you couldn't see them because of the lovely camera. Add that to not being able to counter once you press attack, and the whole game had me afraid to punch people.

kalonZombie posted:As much as I enjoyed Origins, I think it would have been better as a comic book instead of a game. But then again if it was a comic, we wouldn't have gotten the Slade fight, so there is that. I felt that the countering problem wasn't as much as pressing the counter button the moment that you saw an attack coming in, but instead that you could not counter in mid-strike. So after every strike, I had to wait 1/4 of a second to see if I needed to counter any potential threat instead of just punching another dude.

On the other end, I've experienced all of these problems, but have seen videos where the problem doesn't seem to exist. It's very weird.

Canemacar posted:The Deathstroke we got didn't live up to an awesome idea I read on these boards in the run up to AO's release. The idea was that Deathstroke would be a multi-stage boss fight in that he would be stalking you throughout the game and periodically ambush you at inopportune moments throughout the story and generally make your life hell. That sounds cool, but with how AO turned out, that idea would probably just mean that the game would crash every time Deathstroke surprised you.
