Should I bother to finish Arkham Origin before this comes out? I still debating if I want to get this right away, but I never finished Origins which I was given for free on the PS3 with the season pass. Last time I played was after beating Deathstroke.

They just reveal the Arkham Knight is really Superman and this is just a prequel to the movie out next year.

Resumed Arkham Origins, which is pretty fun still and also helping me remember how the combat in these games differ after finishing Shadow of Mordor last week. Since I am picking up Arkham Knights on Tuesday I probably get through the rest of the game and the Mr Freeze DLC before it out. I just curious how far I am to the end of the base game, as I just defeated Copperhead.

Won't be able to play until tomorrow as my copy is at Best Buy to pickup (not interested in the midnight launch), but in the meantime I finished Arkham Origins. Which honestly is pretty good outside of the game glitching out in the sewers under Blackgate, with Batman constantly asking to raise the water level. Took about ten minutes to figure out the water level was up, but Batman was bugged out still and kept saying this until he got killed by some trap. Playing Cold Cold Heart now, which so far is pretty great. How long is it through, as I like to probably finish it tonight so I can start up Arkham Knight tomorrow?

Been playing for a while and the game is really fun. Combat feels so much faster after marathoning through Origins. Curious if you get another 'devil trigger' combat ability like the Electric/Thermal Gloves from Origins.

Terrible Horse posted:So, am I insane, or can you not use DLC skins in the main story (which was a big cool deal when revealed that you could) after you get the iron man suit (which happens like 30 minutes in). I had my DKR suit on, accessed through the extras menu, but now I cant. Seems like a lot of dishonesty in this game. You can reselect your costume after upgrading to the Iron Man suit. I was wearing the Batman 66 costume when that happened, and then next time I played the game swapped to the JLA 3000 costume just fine.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:What about the Mr. Freeze fight from Origins? Didn't like that fight as much, since the thugs made it a lot more annoying to set things up with him. Also I didn't really like the Deadshot fight in Origins since it a even more annoying version of the Two-Face fight from AC, but with the added bonus of him being about to hit you from anywhere in the room if you are spotted. This wouldn't be too bad except when he near death you need to take him out without being spotted or you get a instant game over when he kills the hostage.

Wouldn't it just be a repeat of the Electrocutioner from Origins?

MeatwadIsGod posted:I like how one of the whiteboards in GCPD has shifts listed for Reneé Montoya, Harvey Bullock, and John Jones. I'm glad this thread told me to go back to GCPD periodically. It's cool seeing all the little changes. Shame we didn't get Bullock to show up in the game. He was in Origins with his VA from the Animated Series, which was great hearing his voice again.

ImpAtom posted:There are a couple of references to Robin in Arkham Asylum but they're generic Boy Wonder kind of stuff. He isn't really shown or clarified until City, so it could have been Dick or Tim. The one I remember most distinctively is Joker asking Batman how he punishes his sidekicks with the joke being "isn't that outfit you make them wear punishment enough?" Even through "The Batman" was overall okayish, it did just that by having Batgirl exist before Robin.

poptart_fairy posted:He gets locked up regardless due to being under the effects of the toxin, but if you went on a shooting spree while controlling him he'll be constantly down on himself even after recovering and being let out. He can't look his son in the eye, can't focus on his work and is always thinking about the people he killed. It's implied he's going to leave the force if not outright top himself due to the guilt. Kinda glad I fired most of the shots in the air when the guy was grabbing me. And the only person killed was the guy choking him.

The only thing odd about that whole sequence with the Oracle is how it all just Scarecrow gas, but Arkham Knight and Scarecrow keep saying she killed herself, yet she is perfectly fine later..

Even through it would probably been a mirror match/similar to the Deathstroke fight, I would loved if they used HARDAC from the Animated Series and his robotic Batman clone.

theflyingorc posted:Am I crazy, or was there something about Red Hood in City? I could have sworn that they discussed him in some capacity. There was a sequence in Arkham Origins where the game cuts to Joker talking to Harley, where it first showing him being a bad comedian fighting mooks, but then cuts to him as the Red Hood walking through the chemical plant to get knocked into the vat by Batman.

Calaveron posted:Did Origins do anything new other than the pistol-style disruptor and remote batclaw and if so did Knight take anything from it? It had the Electrocutioner Gloves, which I did like, as it was sorta of a "Devil Trigger" ability in the game to quickly wipe out the big thugs. And the fact you could upgrade it to absorb electricity made the tazer guys a less of a issue. Shame you couldn't steal those back from the Police Department as well.

Narcissus1916 posted:Just did the Panessa Studios section. Jesus. You know, Batman sure really didn't cared to save the boxer and old man from being murdered and then committing suicide. In City and Origins he would at this point summon the Remote Batrang and use the Reverse version that seems to never get used again to take them out, but in the game he just stood there and watch and didn't seem to give a poo poo.

With all the discussions about the thugs, I am so glad the martial artists from Origins didn't return. I mean they were a interesting new gimmick, but I always forget about their counter and get hit.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Arkham Origins seems to be the end of Year 2, and Knight is ten years later. Hard to say when the sidekicks came in, though multiplayer suggests Robin was in Year 3. That sounds right. In Origins there is posters for the Grayson preforming soon, with posters saying it been delayed or something like that.

Crowetron posted:Croc's criminal tendencies and rage issues all stem from his appearance and people reacting to it. You could have Superman or a Green Lantern drop him off on a planet of chill lizard folk, and he'd probably mellow out. Or at least that what I keep telling DC in my letters demanding a Killer Croc in Space series. There was that Batman the Animated Series episode where Croc stumbled upon a community of former circus freaks who welcomed him to their community. But he then tried to rob them and gets sent back to jail.

SonicRulez posted:Did you? I played hers once and decided that was enough. I didn't like her gameplay much at all. I really liked playing as Red Hood though, I replayed his a few times. Wasn't it established in the comics that Jason has red hair, but Bruce has him dye it black to be more like Dick?

Calaveron posted:I liked how the Joker looked healthier and healthier as the game progresses, losing all the gross Titan scarring and splotches to the point he is immaculate during the game's climax. Yeah I noticed that too. Makes him slowly gaining control over Batman's body by having his own body heal over time.
