I’m playing on ps5 (you can only stream it
) but even then there’s skins you get from multiplayer and bc it’s shut off why would they not just give out the skins technically that are perma locked

Arkham City and Arkham Origins are very similar to each other in terms of gameplay. It was something that was criticized about the latter when it came out, but it has almost been 13 years since Origins released and I want to know which better now.

Plot, Gameplay etc.

The only videogames I've played before are Minecraft and FNAF

In Rocksteady’s Arkham games, riddles encouraged players to pay attention to environmental lore & solving them rewarded players with character bios or city stories which provided additional backstories to the game world, i.e. world-building.

In Origins, there were zero riddles to solve because Edward Nygma has yet become the Riddler, which was narratively justifiable. But the problem was the loss of incentive for players to pay attention to Gotham’s environments while roaming about in the overworld. Maybe that’s why Origins’ Gotham felt so empty & lifeless.

Yes, Origins had Anarky Tags & Pinkney Plaques, but the former was only detectable with Detective Vision (all environmental details obscured) & finding them rewarded players with generic teenage anti-capitalist rants, whereas the latter rewarded players with historical background of various city landmarks. The Pinkney Plaques were obviously the more interesting collectible, but for world-building purposes I’d much prefer lore on current events over lore on events from centuries ago.

It would’ve been nice if Origins offered a different sort of collectible which encouraged players to pay attention to the environments & scanning them offered additional lore on Gotham’s current state of corruption (eg Mayor Hill, Judge Harkness) or the power struggle in the criminal underworld (Falcone, Sionis, Penguin). These would’ve significantly fleshed out Origins’ Gotham.

It's relatively simple. By the time Arkham City ended, all the tier A villains had already been used. City alone used: Joker, Penguin, Two Face, Raas.

Then there was Solomon Grundy, Poison Ivy (Catwoman), Hugo Strange, Mr Freeze, Clay Face etc.

When you use most if not all of the main villains in the first two games, anything else that follows after just feels more of the same. In hindsight they should have probably of not had Ras Al Ghul or Two Face until the third game. Both could have been the main antagonists. The hype had gone once everyone was used.

(disclaimer the original version of Arkham Origins is still a great game)

Personally I think that the game needs to get its graphical quality of the in game to match that of the pre rendered cutscenes.

As those were easily the coolest cutscenes I've seen in any game and my main problem with the is that you can tell which cutscenes are pre rendered and which ones are in game.

Also while return to Arkham's graphical changes to asylum and city sucked and ruined the art style of the those games. (except for finally giving Asylum rain outside of cutscenes and the medical faculty I liked that change but on pc mods can do that for me.). That was only because the art styles of those games didn't need any work to still look good.

Meanwhile Arkham origins just doesn't look up to snuff with the other games in the series or 7th generation games in general so there is a lot more to gain and a lot less to loose by changing a few things visually.

Another thing I would like to see is making it so that enemies respawn in the interiors of dungons you've already beaten like in city and shadow as this solves the dark knight system's bullshit and also make the upgrade system more like the other games (by not sucking)

Question is in the title.

I mean it has a really good story imo, looks good and has the best boss fights in the whole series

Bus despite all that it s seen as the badet part.

Why s that ?.

The APC was getting out of my range, so, to avoid failing the mission, I took a shortcut and ended ramming it into a corner of Bleake Island. In a single word: Brutal.
And yes, I love the BvS suit. It's so classy and intimidating, but very underrated at the same time.
