IShallRiseAgain posted:Ummm....the general consensus for Origin's combat was that it was buggy and broken. The game is very buggy, yes, but it's well designed, at least in my opinion as someone who has played the poo poo out of all the games. Doctor Spaceman posted:E: The leadup to Firefly was great, the actual bossfight was way too gimmicky and reliant on QTEs. That fight was just horrible. The game immediately kept telling me exactly what to do before I could try out anything, then zooming in on things to show me that I'd had a desired effect on my opponent. It's like the people testing were too stupid to figure out this fight so they basically turned it into Simon Says. I'm not saying the boss fights were great, but they were usually still a drat sight better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I84uXWmKx4E&t=90s Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Mar 15, 2015 |

I actually liked the fights with Deathstroke and Shiva. It felt like Rocksteady figured out how to do stealth bosses in City with Freeze, and these guys figured out martial arts bosses.

You're as likely to find a group of pre-teens wandering around as a 60 year old bald guy searching through long boxes. I paid full price at most places except the last. It was still cheaper than online options so I considered it a win. But I'll do more extensive haggling next year.

Lurdiak posted:What a coincidence that he just happens to meet Harley on his very first night out, which is also the same night the Mad Hatter, Anarky, Riddler (excuse me, ENIGMA), Bane and Deathstroke meet Batman for the first time. And he still had time to organize a massive takeover of blackgate after having this character-defining revelation! Frankly I didn't have too many problems aside from the Joker hijacking the story like you already mentioned, EXCEPT for that loving I don't need a boss fight and I don't need Bats to beat him to a bloody pulp, but even in Asylum you got to hear the satisfying conclusion of the cops breaking down Riddler's door and catching him over the radio at the end. If I'm going to be doing a massive undertaking like that stupid collectathon I want a bit of catharsis at the end besides "Enigma is the Riddler! WOW  "

Ghostlight posted:Doesn't that bring us full circle since that's exactly what Asylum was anyway? Blackgate's got a bit more nonlinearity / level interconnection and backtracking through old areas with new gear. It's more of a Metroidvania than Asylum, it's just not a better game. It's also got the worst bossfight in the entire Arkham series.

You have to tell me which this is just because this is already the worst Arkham game, hands-down, and yet because it was a gift I'm going to finish the little bastard. Also in what is probably the perfect summary of how much of a disaster this game is: The unloved bastard animated series makes its only video game appearance in the unloved bastard Arkham title.

The final fight: Catwoman. On the bright side the game did have Red Son Batman as an outfit, and the Joker and Grundy fights weren't bad given the limitations.

Red Son Batman is in Injustice and Arkham Origins. You don't need to subject yourself to a bad 3DS game.

I really hope I can use the dumb loving alt skins right off the bat in Arkham Knight. I'm so tired of playing as Mecha-Batman while I have awesome comic/cartoon outfits right there, taunting me.

It's not that weird. Even at the height of the X-Men film's popularity, there probably wasn't a massive demand for a game where you don't get to play as the famous characters. Add to that, the one game that came close was Silicone Knight's trainwreck X-Men: Destiny and, well...

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/03/17/valerie-dorazio-on-chris-sims/ Bleeding Cool and Valerie D'orazio are making a scene about Chris Sims being on X-men '92. It's kind of a non-story but it kinda makes me think it's a cautionary tale for anyone that wants to make it to the big two through blogging with poor inter-personal skills (referring to both Sims and D'Orazio).
