David Rodriguez writes, "I recently finished the main story of Batman: Arkham Origins, and I can say that despite its criticisms, it is a very solid Batman game, with an engaging story and the Rocksteady-developed gameplay that I first fell in love with in 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. Origins has its issues though, and they are primarily centered on the game’s story, which while engaging is horribly misshapen (the big reveal, which was unfortunately spoiled for me beforehand, came much earlier in the story than I expected). However, these issues are nothing compared to what they represent: the challenges the franchise faces going forward and where the Batman character has been oriented in the wake Batman: Arkham Origin’s release."
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
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).
actually, the bat needs rocksteady.
I disagree with this article, although Batman has been getting some good games recently, I feel like Batman as a character deserves more. I like where the Arkham games are going with the series, and AS LONG AS THEY DON'T MILK IT, I'd like them to keep making them.
Even with the bugs, I thoroughly enjoyed Origins and am looking forward to Rocksteady's sequel. My point is although they've released 3 games so far, there are still SOOOO many stories they could tell. I say bring the bat, assuming it does not lose quality like COD did over time. I see no harm.
Again, if you don't want it, or think it needs a break don't buy it. That's what I did with DmC this year (and Call of Duty actually). Batman has plenty of stories to tell and I think as long as it retains the quality of the first 2 games, I say more Batman. These games are awesome and there is a ton of things you could do to add a fresh feel. Instead of other games (since there's a foundation already built) why not include more to this game? Co-op, more characters, and a different story. We pay these guys for their creativity, instead of making Batman go away for a while, create something interesting and different. They're professionals in that region, aren't they?
Actually, Batman needs a mix up! Add Robin and Batgirl for Co-op Experience! Better Multiplayer action and features! Different setting and plot! Different city than Gotham! How about a new made up city?!?!? They need a some screws tighten!
The bat does not need a break..keep em coming.
The Bat does need Rocksteady; the Bat also needs quality.
