Batman: Arkham Origins - Part 7

[JaD]

Nice to see a lot of positive response to it. I played about 20 minutes last night and was enjoying it. Looking forward to putting on that XE suit

I think having the Anarky tags in this DLC was kinda pointless. In Origins they did serve a story purpose in giving like history profiles to the buildings and giving Anarky a bigger angle to the story.

 

[Team Andino]

Looking to get started tonight, about how long does it take to complete this DLC?

 

[AnneFan]

I have downloaded the DLC, and will play it later. Pretty excited about it.

I hope WB Montreal get another shot at Batman, because I've liked their style.

I'd say a couple of hours if you don't do any of the side stuff.

One cool easter egg in the DLC:

In the GothCorp lobby you can find a name tag for PAMELA ISLEY on the front desk.

she was probably helping with the plant experiments in the organic section.

I have finished it. Very enjoyable, and I was sad for it to end. Better than Harley Quinn's Revenge by some margin.

Spoiler

I assume the majority of Wayne Manor burned down to the ground, ala Begins.
I liked the reference to Bane's rampage in the batcave.
The Arkham Penguin was again solid.
Freeze's characterisation was right.
The XE suit was fine.

i am pretty certain they will considering that Rocksteady won't be doing Batman games anymore after Arkham Knight

just hope that for the next time they take the time to fix the bugs & glitches

personally, i would love some Arkham spinoffs like Suicide Squad and Nightwing games. maybe even a co-op where you can play as Batman & Robin and also take inspiration from comic stories.

During the final Freeze fight, my game froze, which is pretty funny considering, eh? Though it wasn't much of an issue considering it saved my progress. I think that's the first time I've had a technical issue with Origins.

 

[Broseph44]

I feel bad everyone seems to be experiencing freezes and glitches and bugs. Cause I've experienced absolutely none with Origins. Weird. Anyway played very little last night made it to Gothcorp. Really will just have to tackle it over the weekend when I'm off work.

Oh and Annefan I agree cannot wait for more arkham stuff from WBM. Especially since it will most likely be all pre-asylum type stuff. They can really do a lot of cool things. We already know they're storytelling and characterization is great

Really? You've never experienced any issues with the game? Wow. This game is riddled with bugs, I think a very common issue I'd expect nearly everyone to experience at least once is the game hanging on the loading screen (Batwing flying through the clouds) when returning to the Batcave. That's happened several times to me and is pretty random. The framerate dropped so low once when I was fighting in the city against 2 groups of enemies as well that it looked like slow-motion. I've NEVER experienced such a drop in framerate when playing a PS3 game. I think I just quit to the XMB because I was concerned I'd break my system

I started coming across so many bugs I started documenting them for fun with a Batman voice and sharing them with my friends. Here's the biggest one I found and the most fun. (the quality is low so that I could send it as a text message btw)

I encountered very little bugs too. My biggest issue was simply that the game would occasionally just crash.

The only thing I came across once in a blue, was the audio being off when he launches his batclaw up to the batwing. That's it. And that was only a few times. Other then that nothing else at all. Runs smooth, no freezes or anything else like that.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Sadly, I'm swamped with work and study at the moment so I can't play the DLC until the weekend.

I'm glad it's been getting good reviews so far and like most people I would welcome WB Montreal taking another stab at Batman after Arkham Knight. I assume they've learned their lesson with quality control.

However, the whole Arkham formula might start to get a bit tiring by that stage. A Batman Beyond game by them would be a much more exciting prospect and it would certainly shake things up.

Well, try playing multiplayer and see how smooth of a ride it is . Having to go through multiplayer to platinum this game was the worst mp experience I've ever had. I don't think my friends and I ever had successfully played 2 matches in a row without someone being kicked, system freezes, or stuck at loading screens, etc.

 

[Broseph44]

What do you mean with their quality control pfieffer?

Nah I don't care about the MP.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Anyone run into any bugs?

No bugs for me, clear cool sailing

 

[jonathancrane]

I only encountered one bug during my time on AO: I punched a thug into another dimension. I cannot help but wonder if the bugs were more present on one console than another.

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

The greatest bug ever in AO, and the only one I encountered consistently and delightfully, was that when you take out a number of thugs with the multi-batarang takedown, if thugs are still in the air from being punched they will be shot into the air and across the screen when the rangs hit them. One thug, when I managed to take down over 20 thugs with the takedown (because with the double-combo move you can set off a bomb when the counter is red, and then do a multi-takedown straight after) was shot up into the air like a bullet, while others were strewn across the arena. If they ever fix that bug I will be very sad. It happened in AC a bit too, but not nearly as awesome.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Main bug I ever encountered was the game freezing, which is annoying and possible in any game. I was primarily bug free during my playthrough.

 

[bigdaddy313]

Here are my own bugs:

framerate strugle when saving and when the are many guys on screen outside.

When I meet martle artists for the first time they attack and the counter signal pops up but nothing happens, I press the counter and loose my combo streak.

When I reach half of my detective work it says I have completed it when clearly I have not.

As I said before when I get the shock gloves and it's fully charged I do hit harder but the animation is the same as a normal fist when I counter and perform a finisher, but it happens only when I am outside.

Sometimes not very often when an enemy attacks and I am very far away he will still hit me.

I have to restarts from last checkpoints at times when I cannot interrogate someone and it happens all the time from a riddler informant at the bridge after you complete the main story, to the police man you find guilty of a hit and run crime close to the GCPD and to when you attack the first prisoner when helping Gordon with Black Gate prisoners.

Those are my main bugs on my PS3, preaty quite unlucky huh lol?

 

[Broseph44]

Also the XE batsuit looks big and yet he moves around just like before even at times faster.

Seems you weren't listening to what Batman said when he picked up the suit. Here's exactly what he said.

Batman: "The honeycomb structure insulates against extreme cold without increasing weight. It won't slow me down a bit."

 

[spiderman2]

yeah ever one talked about this game having bus and i only had the game glitch on me like 3 or 4 times and nothing big. I had like 2 times where i was fighting and they guys started to flot so i couldnt puch them and one time where batman wouldnt puch and all i had to do was start over at last check point and it was fixed. It is wired how so many people can say that the game was glitcly bug in fested and yet i get like nothing lol.
