Batman: Arkham Origins Dev Met "Resistance" at "Every Level"

[gphjr14]

Jim Sterling's review on Destructoid nailed it.
This is pretty much just a cash grab.
I could forgive the glitches. I could forgive the half assed story. An awful ending that rivals Mass Effect 3. What I couldn't forgive was them fucking with the combat system. Glad I didn't use any of the DLC codes should get a decent amount of money back off ebay.

In fact, little niggling issues and bugs plague this game. I've already encountered a game breaker that will make it impossible for me to finish the Riddler side quests until it gets patched, because Batman cannot grapple-then-climb into vents due to clipping. This bug is exclusive to the PC version, I am led to understand.

There's a guide on Steam and I'm pretty sure a few videos on YouTube showing you how to get around this bug with a simple (and safe) glitch. I had to do the glitch too, but it's either that or wait for a patch.

On topic:
I liked the game, although I felt like the end was a bit lacking. Some people complained about the combat being to difficult, but I think those same people are the ones that don't know that evading over people is an effective way to keep a combo going.

My only REAL issue is the game are the bugs. I encountered a few in the game, being:

-Burkley Tower Bug (Obviously)

-Batman's gliding glitching and making him look like a flying worm

-Ragdoll glitches

and also a few in Multiplayer. Now I love the multiplayer, but I'm completely unable to play it as I either get disconnected from the game or it gets stuck on an infinite loading screen.



In a nutshell:
Good game, needs patching.
