'The Dark Knight has come a long way since the days of the first Batman games. It had gotten so bad that any fans of the character were thankful for even a mediocre game. Thankfully, 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum changed everything for both Batman and comic-based games in general. Both it and its follow-up, Arkham City, are considered by many to be two of the best superhero games around.'
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.
I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.
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
I just dont understand how COD can just change the story and get 9's and 10's.
I like COD, but it gets away with murder while other games get murdered.
@Software: I agree with you. If it strayed too far from the formula, they would curse this for not being an Arkham game. ESPECIALLY with a new studio behind the helm. Yet COD is the same game every year and it gets 9's.
People need to listen to developer diaries alot more. They stated that they were not changing things, yet sugically implementing certain elements into it's existing form. Having said that, I think it's a better idea to play all 3 games, and rate this game for the things it DOES add. The games combat and navigation should be a staple for action games. Not saying I want to see Solid Snake grapnel boost off a ledge BUT I would love a Turtles game with freeflow combat done right for example.
Things this game added to a game that was already a 9 IMO
-A playground TWICE the size of Arkham City (with hardware limitations and lack of loading I honestly didn't this could be done while maintaining those graphics!)
-The added enemies: This switches up the combat in an awesome way. **SPOILERS** The Venom users, the martial artists, the shock gloves, they all add and change up the combat formula without sacrificing too much change.
-the story: I LOVED IT! It was amazing and better than both Arkham games! I feel like the character interaction was amazing, not to mention the characters themselves being closer to their comic book counter-parts.
-THE BOSS FIGHTS: Whether it be Deathstroke, Bane or even a small fisticuffs with the Joker, each of them were unique in their own way and were stenciled from the Freeze fight in the last game. Each boss fight uniqely took a mechanic from the game and implimented it into the fight itself cleverly creating a test of what you knew about the game. Nothing out of the ordinary, yet worked beautifully for this game IMO.
This game definitely stands on it's own merits in some ways while still using the mechanics of the old game. I think the mix of the two is very well done and this game deserves NOTHING short of an 8.5/10
Deathstroke is a pain-in-the-ass on hard.
Use the slowdown to judge when the attack comes! The game will dramatically freeze like it always does right before his attack! Have patience my friend! You got this.
