Batman: Arkham Origins

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).

Agreed. Co-op would just ruin the Arkham experience. Imagine having an invisible tether between Batman and Robin/Nightwing/Batgirl/Catwoman and one can't progress without the other because someone decided they wanted to go the opposite direction or stay in the same location.

It would be cool to have a heroes vs villains mode in mp.

Yeah but its not like you would be forced to play with someone that you didn't want to play with and if you felt like you were doing most of the work just boot them. Of course everything in these games are watered down compared to the single player. These games are driven by their strong single player.

Well the multiplayer wont hurt the game but it really doesn't add anything either. Not every game needs mutiplayer and a series driven this strongly by single player certainly doesn't need it.....especially with how "meh" the MP is. Granted I only played the beta but its not captivating. The only MP i'll be playing is for the achievements if there are any. Arkham City went a bit over board with the challenge modes and then adding the extreme challenges. In AA I only was ever stuck on 1 challenge map so I feel like they wanted to make it more challenging. I personally love when there are challenge modes in games. I would like to have the addition of roaming Gotham with other characters......but im sure most people would lol

To be fair, chastising someone for not being as good as you and having to carry their weight is a pretty authentic Batman experience.

That seems like pretty much all Batman would do. Stop being so similar to me -Pr-, it's creepy. And you'll have to make me a mod or something if it keeps up. Jus'sayin.

😂

Just got Goty for AC tried the other characters they are ok at best.
I like the different fighting styles but gadget wise they are pretty meh you can literally feel that Batman is the best character in the game(he is slow compared to others though.)Tbh I really dont want to do all these challenges with them.
I didnt catch the idea of having to complete both campaign and ranked matches with Batman for the achievements since they are the same.ermm

Also adding these difficulty raisers can be a pain in the ass sometimes prefered the simple Asylum challenges.

While Batman may obviously be the most versatile as far as gadgets, gadget-wise I actually like Robin and Nightwing better than him in some regards, whether it be Robin's shield, zip-kick, etc., or Nightwing's darts that can instantly KO a thug and stuff like that. Aiming with it can sometimes be a pain though.

Understandable if you don't want to do all those same challenges with them, but they do mix it up some at least like make you have to do that train level with Robin where you fight Black Mask at the end, which was pretty neat.

But again, that repetitive stuff with the AC challenges with 4 characters is why I'm hoping Batman and Deathstroke will be the only ones you have to do challenge maps for in this game...

And Batman's response to that co-op shenanigans being an authentic Batman experience: I work better alone.

They have been leaking clues to the next character revel and im 100% sure its going to be Firefly.
