Quick Look: Batman: Arkham Origins

yay, thanks Drew!

I'm Robin!

I'm gonna wait for the Batman: Arkham Origins: Awakening DLC expansion.

The game looks all right.

This looks like a good game to buy at 30 dollars.

GOTHAM CITY

WHERE IS SHE

No Gods or Kings, only Batman.

yeah.. looks like more batman :)

ugh.. the xbox version looks like poo

edit.. here is some PC action:

So batman is going to "capture" these tugs with his sword? Man he is really going to "capture" the shit out of these villains!

Looks identical to the last one.

This is a great quick look. They really let you kill Batman. Nuts! It really affected me when I saw Brad do it. I don't know why. This quick look has pretty much sold me on the game. I'm gonna get this.

@vinny Red Hood was a batman villian. The former Robin Jason Todd dawned the mask. Probably what you're thinking of 7:00 minutes in.

Not really interested. I've already played this before.

Would like it if you guys took a look at Blackgate too.

The Joker was Red Hood before he became the joker, right before he fell in to the acid thing that messed up his face. Than Jason got a hold of it somehow after being dead for 10 years.

no interest. asylum was good, city was ok, not going to bother with this. Too similar

An hour and a half?! I got my fill with Arkham City. But sequels make more money than new ideas.

I'M ROBIN. (I'll probably get this when it's on sale.)

I feel like Sara Lima should be here to tell you about Batman.

Brad's good... it actually is Nolan North as The Penguin:

Reminds me of a conversation I had playing the first game next to my then girlfriend

Me: Batman doesn't kill.

Her: You just smashed that guy's skull.

Me: He's fine just knocked out.

Her: You threw that guy off a cliff.

Me: Doesn't. Kill.

The remote claw gadget wasn't in the other Arkham games. I guess Batman loses it at the end of this game, which is a real shame cause it could've been useful!

batman is dead

I never knew Batman was 105 feet tall. Siri teaches you something new every day.

Looks fine, just more Batman. Almost an Arkham City expansion. I do like that the map encompasses both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, plus a new area, prior to the flooding that created the super-prison.

I heard it's too much of a safe sequel. And the QL doesn't do much to change it, I guess.

I liked Asylum, but I felt like City ran out of steam about halfway through and I don't miss not having finished it.

I just had to re watch the multiplayer part again. Best part of the quick look.

What do you want to know?

Heroes should smoke bomb when defeated in multiplayer, instead of "dying."

Other than that, muy bien.

wow, jeff, wow, I had no idea, for the past 35 years I thought Batman was 8 feet tall.

This game is an 18GB download on Steam. I don't think I ever encountered any game that large before.

Yep, still Batman but damn I love that combat system. Boss fights look great too. A little choppy on the xbox tho.

Oh so snarky and original!

and 'dlc expansion' is redundant.

Wow, I always thought the thugs' reactions to Batman was ridiculous, and then Xbox Live proved me wrong. That's amazing.

@impossibilium: There's quite a few. Crysis 3 is pretty big. Dragon Age: Origins is over 20 and Max Payne 3 is over 25 gigs just to name a few from the top of my head.

I forgot all about this game coming out.

Max Payne 3 was something like 35 gigs, just for what it's worth.

Yeah I dunno, this game seems fine I guess. But as someone who absolutely loved Arkham City and gliding around the prison, I had my fill by the time that game was done and mostly kept going because of how crazy that story got. Still, between the mechanics that I still enjoy and the multiplayer that looks surprisingly interesting, I could see myself being happy with this for the $30 it'll inevitably be around Black Friday. Hope people are still playing the multiplayer by then.

It's fun. It's more Batman. I was on the fence but went out and got it today. Don't have a 4k television so I got the 360 version and it looks just fine. This is a case where "More of the same" is just fine.

This looks like a shameless cash grab.

Sounds like Cobblepots office if behind that security gate and to open it i need to get to the control room but the power is out so i need to turn on the three differents generators and zzzzzzzzzz....

105 feet tall!!

Muy bien

FIND US ON PLURKE !!!

There is no way Batman hasn't killed someone if he's throwing punches like that. Subdural Haematomas can kill. At the very least, he would have caused his enemies permanent neurological damage.

Hey is this a roguelike rouge-like?

Edit: Multiplayer reminds me a bit of the Snake Vs PMC mode in Metal Gear Online.

Also, Die Hard Trilogy on the PS1 was DOPE.

@darkbeatdk: Wouldn't G. Man be the authoritative resource (and the one that actually lives in California?) Honestly I have no idea what goes on at Comic Vine anymore since they stopped putting highlights to link to on the site.

In other news, I am bummed this game is so lazy. I'm one of the people totally ready for more of the same, but I still have standards.

Hearing Brad click away on the attack and counter buttons during the Deathstroke fight kinda made me sad.

@kevino13: Me too but it is apart of why most people think that Brad sucks at games.

So much THIS!!!
I don't understand the hate that game got in some places, or how brad doesn't even know about it :/
