Kotaku: "I watched the trailer for the upcoming Batman game that got released earlier this week and immediately had one inescapable thought: You can’t tell it’s a prequel. That’s not a good thing."
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.
Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.
tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.
Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious
I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣
You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.
I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.
Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.
Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.
Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!
Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.
Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.
Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.
I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).
Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.
It's the worst of the three in my opinion, but still really enjoyable. Definitely underated and gets far more crap that it deserves.
Should be included with the other Arkham games in the bundle.
I'm honestly enjoying it alot, my first time playing since I just decided to get a Xbox 360 slim for 65$, I cop some other gems too tho, I went into Arkham origins not expecting better than Arkham city but it does deliver plus the guy who voices batman did a good job aiming for the young Bruce impression
Thats totally my problem with it aswell, instead of looking like a prequel it looks like a quick cash in. He dosen't look younger and his armor/gadgets, as many people have pointed out, look better then the ones we find in the past two games which are set in the future. I don't see why they just didn't make a prequel when he became Batman and met the Joker for the first time. Oh and I don't get Deathstroke being in the game aswell, I mean he's a guy whos managed to take on the entire Justice League by himself but even with a lesser experienced Batman he's someone going to manage to take him on.
It's a big problem as well since the main voice actor has been changed. If Batman looks the same then it's going to look weird seeing someone else play him. Think I'm going to have to pass on this one. I'll wait for Rocksteadys next game
So because he has some stubble on his chin he is older? Because he has better armor means he is more experienced?
Its not like this is his first night as Batman, he's been doing it for 2 years already, he is still very much a myth as that suits his training. We've seen nothing of his gadgets. In the trailer he gets caught unexpectedly by Deathstroke, he was setup, to eager to pound some thugs. Deathstroke then takes him to school, if not for the interruption from Deadshot, who knows if he would of walked away.
So I'm very much looking forward to this game, the premise is pretty cool and I loved the other games.
I can tell it's a prequel, everyone isn't on steroids.
I am pumped for this one
And it doesn't bring much new to the series. Previewers aren't so psyched about it.
