Batman: Arkham Origins - Part 4

[Shikamaru]

Damn. That's a huge bummer. Really disappointed by these news.

And so the rating/reviewing begins.

 

[cryptic name]

Read all the reactions before the actual spoiler. Was expecting a super negative review or something. The spoiler doesn't really bug me at all.

 

[AnneFan]

According to people that already have the game. HUGE SPOILER(this is very likely gonna piss some of you off)

Spoiler

Joker is the main villain again(surprise). Turns out he was impersonating Black Mask and hired the assassins. Whereas the real Black Mask is beaten and tied up.

So Black Mask pretty much got the same treatment Two-Face did in Arkham City.

[blackout]Heh. Clayface impersonating Joker in AC, now Joker impersonating Black Mask in AO.[/blackout]

 

[antsman41]

That sounds very stupid.

 

[Jick]

It bugs me in many levels because:
[blackout]Black Mask ''isn't'' Black Mask[/blackout]
[blackout]Is the plan even from Black Mask?[/blackout]
[blackout]Once again, I'll most likely not have a chance to take a beating to Black Mask, like in Arkham City, and just see him being fodder.[/blackout]
[blackout]Once again, Joker steals the spotlight. Even more than before. Not just for being there, but for playing who supposedly was the main villain.[/blackout]
[blackout]They simply couldn't let someone else be the master planner, or the main villain...it had to be the Joker.[/blackout]

I dread what they'll do in Arkham 3 if [blackout]they bring Joker back.[/blackout]

Don't mind that spoiler at all. I'm good, so pumped for this game I need it now!

 

[PWN3R]

You guys had me really worried with the spoiler. Honestly, I don't care as long as the gameplay and presentation remains smooth. Cannot ****ing wait.

 

[zeptron]

Spoiler

It reminds me of Iron Man 3 with the whole Mandarin twist. Basically, the guy that we're supposed to believe is Black Mask, really isn't Black Mask at all, and that it's the Joker the whole time.

I'm not surprised Joker is the final boss again and I don't mind it, but I'm not too fond about him hijacking the "hiring assassins" thing.

 

[zenith16]

hehe I did say he had too much power. Lol now I want that ending where he ruins lady shiva's most wanted match to happen now so Bruce and head home for Christmas dinner. it's a fitting ending.

Spoiler

And will keep the joker

busy if there and AO sequels so we'll have the other character have some spot light.

 

[Broseph44]

I love how upset people get haha. It's entertaining.

Don't have too much fun with cause once it turns into something you yourself don't like, it'll be hard to find someone that sympathizes with you when it happens.

I shake things off fairly easily and quickly that I don't like. I'm not a very picky person to begin with, so I'm rarely disappointed. So yeah thanks for the advice but really doesn't apply to me. I will grab my popcorn for this thread in the days to come. Watch the overreactions you'll get from some people. You'll think WB purposely did this to ruin their lives. You'll see haha

 

[Hunter Rider]

Keep the spoiler tagged guys.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Where are you guys seeing the boss fights? I'd love to see them myself.

 

[socool]

Can't say the spoiler will make me look at this game differently, but holy crap am I annoyed they pulled that ****.

Spoiler

Joker has become the only REAL Batman villain all of a sudden. It's ********. Can't they let ANY of the villains be special for once? Nope. Has to be Joker. Always Joker. ****ING JOKER. I GET IT. HE'S POPULAR. MAKE SOMEONE ELSE POPULAR.

What's even worse than me being pissed about it is that I'm also not at all surprised. I'm actually more surprised I didn't see this coming, to be honest.

Ah, Joker... DC's answer to Wolverine, the one true X-Man.

 

[Thoix]

I'm glad I know about the spoiler now. It disappoints me a bit but now I knoe it's coming. Hopefully now I will go into it with a more open mind, and if it's done well then I won't mind at all.

 

[AnneFan]

I watched the short introduction cut scene (which was cool) but clicked out of the browser after that. I'm saving all the rest for the first play through.

 

[jonathancrane]

It is painfully ironic that I anticipated the spoiler in an earlier post...

 

[The Caped Knight]

All eight assassins' mugshot

Spoiler

 

[Shikamaru]

I still don't like how they just attached the title of "assassin" to regular Batman villains like Firefly, Killer Croc, and Bane. I thought this would have been a great opportunity to explore the non-Batman side of the DC universe (Deadshot being the only exception since he is both a Batman villain and DCU villain).

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

Well, I don't want to be spoiled on specific details, so can someone who knows about the leak just answer in a spoiler quote whether Joker takes over the plot? Just a yes or no would be good, and a second yes or no: is that all there is to the leak or is there something bigger and potentially more stupid?

 

[Bruce Malone]

I'm still waiting for a real open world gotham city full of people and the ability to drive the batmobile and have been pretty much since Asylum.

Origins is sort of a tease in that regards, Gotham should be a huge city, simply twice as big as AC doesn't really impress me too much seeing as I didn't find AC all that big. I just hope we do get a full sized populated gotham at some point in the not too distant future?

 

[zenith16]

Sound's to me and you have been saying aloud what you want is Grand theft auto Gotham only in reverse. And that's will be hard to do when they keep saying they are sticking close to the DNA of the Arkham verse.
Especially for someone like batman that stays in the shadows to do his work mostly. Yeah we'll see the batmobil one day but in a crowded area, with people surrounding it? That will be rare. Unless he's stuck in traffic or a parade. ( The kind Jack nicolesones joker died in) oh yeah bat man used the bat wing in that instead too..
