Finished the latest Batman game, Arkham Origins.. review time..
WORST. BATMAN GAME. EVER. and yes I said that in Simpson's "Comicbook Store Guy's" voice.
It's just sad.. Warner Bros, you took over this game after Rockstar did 2 great games previous, you should feel ashamed lol. You brought nothing new (worthwhile anyway), revamped so much already rehashed content... blah. I highly suggest the leads on this project Google "Seppuku" and give it some serious thought. :)
Most unrewarding ending(s) of em all, completely anti-climactic fights with some great villains, combat controls are actually less responsive while producing yet further over the top acrobatics (even for Batman), while on the side you face an insanely dull grind-style gathering quest for Enigma which has NO amount of riddle solving in them, and much of the lore established from prior Arkham games is disregarded and re-written in this.. which is just stupid for a prequel of the same series... a big example being Harley / Jokers first meeting and interaction in this game compared to the recordings uncovered in Arkham Asylum
AVOID Batman Arkham Origins, while its a fun game with great action and some fun parts, the overall experience will leave you sorely disappointed if you played the first 2 and were expecting something grand; this falls way short of the mark.
@vadagar1 While it might be somewhat limiting with no level scaling it does make perfect sense.. I mean.. A wolf is a minor nuisance that Geralt will have NO trouble with , specially once trained up.. an Imperial Mantacore however.. will make even the hardiest of Witcher think twice lol So I can see why they did it :) by the end badass fights will still be a serious taking, while a swarm of Lake Lurkers will be a "*sigh* back in 2 minutes" kinda ordeal :) as it should be
Lovin' it so far Danny :) props. Entertaining and thought provoking, I too was a 'cold-turkey' quitter of WoW, lol these days games in general don't get nearly as much of my time, but the ones that do still get my attention.. get a bit more time devouted to them than they maybe should :)
LOL! Best way to wake up in the morning ever.. Jess hiding behind a desk,( with a single chair between her and the monster!) literally craning her neck to peer over the desk as her character tries to peek lol. Another great HOH , thanks Jess and Zorine. lol epic wall jumping "Wait for me wait for me!"
Lol bless ya Danny :) between this garbage and good ol' Hatoful Boyfriend (Bad memories!) lol I don't know how you do it m8... my guess is it involves copious amounts of alcohol after the fact :)
Sorry Zorine, I didn't mean to forget you lol It wouldn't be the same without you there either. You're the perfect foil for Jess and vice versa. Her terrified squeeks (It's true, you do squeek at times Jess) wouldn't be half as effective were it not for your resolute bravery in such terrifying moments of sudden noises and shadowy things ;) lol
I would request a highlight reel of some of Jess' best freak-outs, terrified jibbering rants, and flat out scream and hide the eyes moments Lol :) I'm sure the games are just wonderful and all, but you Jess are the the best bit of entertainment with HoH and why so many keep coming back lol
