Yeah I agree, I'm wary about a non-Rocksteady Arkham game, but I enjoy the combat system/setting enough that I believe it'll probably overshadow most any problems, particularly since from the looks of things they're not deviating from the formula of,"Batman beats up bad dudes and every so often he beats up a tougher bad dude in a mask".

Okay I'm sold on that E3 demo, it just looks like even more of Arkham City with some new enemy types and I really have no problem with that at all.

Stare-Out posted:It kind of looked like he flat-out killed people in the two Arkham Origins videos I've seen. At least he dropped that one goon from a pretty great height on to something didn't look like a mattress to me. He drops him onto a Christmas tree. Very painful, probably crippling, but you can hear the thug screaming,"YOU'RE CRAZY!" afterwards, he definitely lives.

Bizarre Echo posted:From the videos I've seen, it looks like Arkham Origins is basically a rehash of Arkham City's mechanics, straight down to the animations. And I'm completely okay with that. Can I count on being able to preorder this on Steam? I want to get my Deathstroke on. If it turns out anything like Asylum and City (maddeningly) did, then the PC release will come out a couple of weeks after the console release, but there will definitely be a pre-order for it on Steam. Is it using Games for Windows Live or have they quietly just dumped that out?

Arkham Origins is actually just a re-release of Arkham City, only now all the horses from the original game have armor.

This was posted over in the Steam thread - GreenManGaming has a 25% off voucher for this weekend for Arkham: Origins - GMG25-W38UG-WZTBY That was enough to tilt me into taking the gamble, the game is looking enough like it's at least not DETRACTING from what made Asylum and City so much fun to play, and I'd honestly be satisfied with a game that is essentially more of the same with a different story for variety. If it turns out to be more than that/better than that, then even better!

Also, now I can load up Asylum and City and enjoy the atmospheric opening menu without that stupid loving,"WOOOSH BEEP SIGN IN TO GFWL NOW" crap. I just wish the achievements had transferred over between games.

ImpAtom posted:It wasn't like he was hugely dangerous in AC though. He kidnapped people but Batman stopped every single thing he tried without overly large amounts of effort. Considering the rest of the villains get successful murders or plots under their belt, he's still a chump. The very best thing about New Game+ (if you've already collected all the riddles) is that Riddler goes from,"You'll never solve my riddles, Dark Knight  " to "Oh God the Dark Knight has solved all my riddles!  " in the space of like 10 minutes.

randombattle posted:Catwoman was in my opinion hands down the worst part of Arkham City. Playing as her wasn't as fun as batman. All her story stuff was pointless and I'm sad that all pc copies had her cause I would have prefered the game with out those parts. I definitely preferred played as Batman, but I thought her combat portions were excellent. I do have to say that Predator mode and traversing the city weren't as enjoyable/intuitive as they were for Batman though, and I'm glad her non-optional sections were kept fairly short.

Oh man, trying to reteach myself how to play Asylum (and later City) using a controller instead of M/KB feels weird as hell, it's going to take me awhile to get that same instinctive feel that I got from the (hundreds!) of hours I put into them using m/kb.

Beeez posted:I don't know how you got good with the mouse and keyboard, seems like it'd be really tough. Then again, I use a laptop so I don't even have a mouse. 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. Part of the problem is that I'm so used to the game I want to play it in hard mode, which removes all the on-screen prompts.

That's disappointing, especially as Robin was probably one of the less fun DLC characters for me to play in City (Nightwing was probably the best, in my opinion).

Orv posted:Actually that makes me think that what I want to see Rocksteady do is make a Batman game exploring the idea that he's just as crazy as the villains. That he needs to go out at night and punch people just as much as they do. This comes up a fair bit in Asylum - Joker and Scarecrow at least often point out that he's just as crazy as any of them, and Joker regularly taunts his thugs not just with the notion of the big scary Batman coming to get them, but the big scary lunatic Batman coming to get them.

Axialbloom posted:Now that my Batman: AC has converted over to GOTY edition in steam, with all new achievements, I'm waiting for Halloween to visit Calendar Man for a bit of clock-fudging. When I loaded up my old Asylum save (including actually hitting "Continue Story" in my previous 100% game) it gave me a number of achievements, including all the campaign achievements I'd gotten before, just leaving out most of the story ones. Happily in Arkham City, loading up both my original 100% game and my 100% New Game+ (again, hitting Continue Story) also gave me a number of the achievements, including most of the campaign ones and (thank God) the Storyteller one. I still have to do the storyline achievements, and it seems to have lost some but not all of my DLC achievements too, but at least I don't have to get 70-80 medals per each character again

Gunder posted:All the fancy PhysX crap they have in the PC version is really awesome looking. Is any of this stuff on the console versions? I'm actually playing Arkham City for the first time taking advantage of DirectX 11 and full power to the PhysX stuff (originally the game ran very poorly unless in DX9 mode, from memory) and it's crazy how much atmosphere it adds. The snow in particular is great, but also little things like the sparks in certain buildings or the way glass shatters just add a wonderful sense of immersion. Can't wait to load up Origin and see what the game looks like now.

I've only played a little bit so far (got to the bit with the Christmas Tree seen in the trailer) but so far I'm having a blast and I absolutely love how poo poo-scared everybody is of Batman - not really believing he exists, freaking out just at his appearance etc. It feels great to be moving through Gotham proper too, and seeing characters before they became established.

Oh my God the Deathstroke fight was the best, it was incredibly satisfying to complete that, especially given motherfucking Deathstroke of all people going,"What ARE you!?! " after you kick his rear end I'm still early in the game but so far this is a more than worthy continuation of the quality of the previous two games, which is a huge relief.

I have to say, I loved the scene where Batman figures out the Lacey Towers murder and explains to Alfred what happened - I especially liked the way Batman was taken aback by the cruelty of the killer. I also managed to get around the Burnley Tower bug using that glitch to get up onto the roof, which was a relief. Are there any other bugs like that which seem to be coming up for everybody that I should look out for?
