Batman: Arkham Origins

True, that wouldn't be bad.

Though then again, I think they're probably looking at it from a marketing standpoint: A lot more people recognise the Joker than recognise Bane, even with DKR having come out last year.

Oh and they need to fix the phuckin camera in the fighting challenges cause it's phuckin awful I played some of the extreme challenges in AC and couldnt see shit sometimes...

Im in the beta for the multiplayer and it is ok I guess.....I mean I thought It wasn't needed in the first place and after spending some time playing it....well its not improving my opinion. Getting to go around as batman and robin early is kinda fun though.

What's Bane like?

I have never gotten to be Bane or the Joker. I have been on their crew but have not be able to be either one. Going by other people being him....he has a powerful presence and hes and up close brawler like fighter. Both Bane and Joker do tons of damage and its hard to take them down. Batman and Robin have some standard gadgets. Only one gadget is new...its a radar scrambler.

So it takes multiple take downs to beat the villains?
Like the Mr Freeze fight?

I personally don't remember having camera issues like that in AC, and I played the game a shit ton.

The multiplayer sounds like how I expected it so far based on the beta.

Im playing it offline and it's the pre GOTY version dont know if there were any cam bug updates but it's horrible sometimes even in the city the camera gets too close and I cant see all the enemy so I get sucker punched sometimes...

Well sort of yea. I mean they just soak up tons of damage. I was in the jokers gang and emptied an entire clip into bane and he still took me out first. The Heroes can soak some damage also but they don't dish out as much damage and it seems like they are over all easier to take down. The Villains can be hard to get though. At one point an Icon appears over a door and the first person to open it becomes the Villain. It is also for either team and only one person gets it. So if a Bane thug gets there then they become Bane but if a Joker thug gets there then they become the Joker......but both can't be out at once and I have only ever seen one per match.

I know it's short but better then nothing....

This morning I saw the collectors edition announcement. I went straight to gamestop and I was the first one in my area to pre-order it lol. The guy laughed because I ordered it only ten mins after they got the e-mail to start taking the orders for it!

So thinking about getting this for Pc aswell since they made Nightwing and other Dlc characters playable in story mode via mod in AC. Im hoping this way I will be able to free roam with Deathstroke...mmm

I cant wait to get the CE. It looks much better then the other 2 collectors.

Wondering if there will be other characters for the challenges....

Batman: Arkham Origins 'not coming to PS4 or Xbox One'

Warner Bros. Montreal rules out next-gen Batman port.

Senior producer Ben Mattes ruled out the potential for a next-gen port on Twitter earlier today, saying: "I can 100 per cent confirm that Arkham Origins will only ship on the announced platforms. It is not coming to PS4 or Xbox One."

Well that sucks. I hate that some of these nice games won't be coming out the the next gen systems. As if.

As for the game not coming out on next-gen platforms, cry me a river.

I honestly hope not. Considering how many characters Arkham City had for that (which was too many), just Batman and Deathstroke would be enough for me, while the other trophies/achievements non-story related would be for the multiplayer.

I hope there isnt many mutiplayer achievements. Im a completest of these games and the challenges can be hard enough as it is. I don't want to have a "get to level 50" or any stuff like that. Im not mad they added the mutiplayer but I feel it was a bland addition. I know mutiplayer is what a lot of people want but I feel a co-op system would have been a lot more fun. Join someones game as say Robin, Nightwing, or Batgirl...ect. Unique fighting styles and gadgets. Join a friends game with the "drop in-out" system and pick which ever bat sidekick you want. Thats just my opinion...

For something like an Arkham game, I would have to disagree on the co-op idea. Contrary to popular belief co-op's not always a good addition for a series, and if I were to play with someone that isn't really around my skill level (friend or random), I would hate to think how much I'd be holding their hand as Batman or someone. Whether it's covering my partner's ass with explosive gel or something, it would just be watered down compared to a single player experience.

You can maybe call the multiplayer a bland addition, but compared to simply having more challenge maps and calling it a day, it's practically fresh. That said, I hope there's more achievements for the multiplayer than the challenge maps, and even if there's something of a grind fest for it like that getting to level 50 example, I don't see even it being as tedious as Arkham City's DLC achievements (excluding Harley Quinn's Revenge).
