Where do i actually sign up? Any link?

core_53914d ago (Edited 3914d ago )

only with personal invitation from WB for WBID Members and beta is currently full.

I wonder how we managed to survive without multiplayer in the 90's /s

Seriously, we don't need a shitty, tacked on multiplayer on every single game. (Although I could be very wrong).

BG115793914d ago (Edited 3914d ago )

They had Bomberman? ^^

andrewer3914d ago

Right on! We had multiplayer, but just not online :)

elhebbo163914d ago

Quake 3 doesn't ring a bell?

soniqstylz3914d ago

the key words are "tacked on".

dcj05243914d ago

I see you never played DOOM 2. That multiplayer was SWEET.

maniacmayhem3914d ago

The original Mario Bros. was multiplayer.

Shane Kim3913d ago

I ment online!!! Besides, those types of multiplayer didn't take anything away from the singleplayer (and mostly never add anything either), it was just a second player playing after the first player died (Original Mario), or was in the same environment as the first player (double dragon) therefore the singleplayer was mostly just the same as the multiplayer.

Now if that is a good or a bad thing is maybe another question.

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

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.

Rebel_Scum104d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga104d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro104d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos104d ago

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.

ZeekQuattro104d ago

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.

Rebel_Scum104d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood104d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds104d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name103d ago

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.

Phoenix76104d ago

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.

goldwyncq104d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing1104d ago

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 - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion185d ago

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).

The Unjustly Forgotten Batman: Arkham Origins Deserves A Resurgence

Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.

lellkay298d ago (Edited 298d ago )

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.

Demetrius298d ago

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
