Ahh doesn't sound too good that it's this buggy, I better steer clear till it's patched!
Batman Arkham Origins
- Thread starter Tom84
- Start date
This REALLY annoys me and is totally illogical, it makes sense if developers don't want players climbing too high but when the "grapple-able" buildings are sometimes taller than the ones you cant climb it feels stupid and frustrating.
The combat was also tweaked so that you cant counter if you are already executing a standard attack, it feels unfair to have your combo wiped when an enemy attacks you after you have already made your attack decision.
The general lack of polish in the menus and loading screen does make the presentation fall short of the previous games but overall what I have played has been more of the same fantastic batman formula.
Yeah I had that problem with the counter system also. Seemed to me that I was hiting counter at the right time but still getting hit which was ****ing me off to say the lest.
The game was fantastic mind when you went into a building to complete a mission just a shame that the rest if the game is not as polished but over all I loved it.

lads the missis gave a £50 steam voucher for my Birthday yesterday. Is this worth picking up now or is there justification to wait for a patch?

im grabbing this game as we speak but it seems that it is not a smart idea at the moment 
I paid £12 for mine on cdkeysdiscount, think the price has gone up slightly but id still check it out.

It's 40 odd quid on Steam

Same just happened to me. I was about 17-18% of the way through. Not best pleased at having to re-start the game.
id save your steam dollars and try and get a key from there to be honest mate, £40 can go a long way on the store..

Yeah that's what my gut feeling is. It's too much, and I remember it was a long time until AC was patched thoroughly.
I've just completed the main storyline and really, really enjoyed it.
IMO the storyline was brilliant it was nice to see Alfred and Batman interacting, and I wish this sort of relationship occurred more in Batman Begins.
The Joker and Batman relationship was fairly good as well, even if it was a bit 'unrealistic' seeing as this is supposed to be the first time he's met the Joker.
Good Points
Bad Points
It's definitely worth a go if you like the previous games, but Rocksteady made a better quality game overall, the storyline in this trumps the prior games though

Good Points
- Storyline
- Fighting (sometimes)
- Boss Battles
- Sidequests
Bad Points
- Fighting - sometimes when you press the counter button you don't counter and then get hit. This has led to me getting punched repeatedly taking away a lot of health
- Frame rate issues
- The grappling hook grabs places which don't seem obvious, and won't grab places you should be able to get :/
- AH the biggest problem is that there is no real innovation over the prior games!

10 hours of play, loaded it up, and no matter what direction I travel in I fall through the map into water, climb out and repeat. Got a timer going for a mission as well...
Annoyed doesn't begin to describe how I feel and if it wasn't a Christmas present it'd be going back

Supposedly it has...doesn't seem to have completely fixed it though.
Back to where I was now so fingers crossed its ok
Like the game, but some annoying issues with it

There seems tonnes more to do than in Arkham City. I like it, but still have the same niggly issues Ive had since Asylum. Blade Dodge Takedown is impossible to pull off consistently, and when will the devs learn that not one single gamer on the planet thinks the suit damage is a good idea?
By the end of the game your cape is like swiss cheese and looks ridiculous
