    I hate to break it to you, but incremental "innovation" is basically the vidya industry in a nutshell :p I get what you mean, though - it's pretty frustrating to want all these exciting and cool things but then force yourself to tone down that excitement. Arkham Origins is supposed to have the best writing of the series so far, akin to Scott Snyder's work on the comics with a bit of Alan Moore and Frank Miller thrown in. That plus more of the same? As a Batman fan, I'm sold. I'm sure I'll dislike a few things, just as I disliked a few things in Asylum and City, but we'll see. These games have continuously surprised me, so even if it's a new team, I feel like the franchise has been good to me.

    So far this is exactly the same gameplay as Arkham City and that is absolutely fine. :D

    So far so good with playing Arkham Origins and I have played a bit in the challenge mode with Deathstroke and Batman. And I gotta say I geeked out a bit when I saw and then played as the 1960s TV Series Adam West Batman the only let down is they didn't try to get Adam West to voice that version of Batman which to me would have been awesome.

    Don't open this if you don't want to be spoiled

    Black Mask is not the Main Villain, it's Joker

    I see well I think no matter what Deathstroke is hard because sometimes you have to counter even when they don't tell you to do so I guess it would too easy if they did that every time.

    I wish when you beat Deathstroke you gained a new skin of him unmasked that you could play in the Challenge Maps. Because I thought even in his unmasked form he is still a badass.

    That's the thing, i press Y, and Batman doesn't counter, cause apparently i was pressing it too early, so the best way i was able to beat him was to keep pressing B+Y and attack once or twice

    Yeah if you counter too early you get hit thats what they showed me when I got hit a few times.

    Where I am stuck in Arkham Origins:
    I am stuck where you have to infiltrate GCPD from the roof when you are investigating what appears to be Black Masks m urder. And there are so many officers on the roof I don't know what to do I feel I am supposed to use the concussion grenade or whatever it was called but I guess I am having difficulty using it well.

    I also wanna mention the new feature that I love that really shows more of the detective aspect of the game and that is
    how you can rewind a crime scene and actually see what exactly happened at least based on the evidence you find.

    There wasn't many officers on the roof when i went there, do they have guns? if so, play stealthily

    Yes they all have guns and there is even a sniper on a rooftop nearby.

    Sneak up behind him and knock him out, then find ways to take down the others stealthily, smoke pellets would work, sneaking up behind them and concussion

    I assumed so but in all the Arkham games for me Stealth wasn't my best skill like I didn't do so well when I had to do that well I did do what needed to be done but I could have done better i think.

    Playing Stealth isn't too hard, you mostly need to take them out when they are alone to succeed for that

    Do we need to put everything we say in a spoiler? And I know the only thing that slows me down is trying to be quick to get back in the darkness to get the rest of the people probably because you kind of have to quickly scramble to get your view back on a area where you can grapple real quick.

    I agree somewhat. Although I am not sure I like the more Nolan-y aesthetic in this one(I'm not the only one who hears Bane's theme in the Origins soundtrack, am I?). Also it seems to be impossible to 100% because one of the radio towers is bugged and can't be turned back on. I hope that gets patched soon.



    I tried to try it but no one was playing. I'll have to give it another go soon, after everyone has moved on from the single player.

    Which tower is that? So far, I've had no problems turning them back on

    How come in every Arkham game The Riddler has never been one of the big villains you go up against in a big way? Like he wasn't one of the main villains he was just one of the side villains but you never really went up against him specifically.
