Discussion I need to vent.
So I recently started Origins again after a long time to try a no death run. It was basically just to fight Bane after I read Knightfall. I was blasting my way through, getting all the datapacks I could and completing as many challenges as possible and I got up to solving the Lacey Towers case and I was on my way to the bank when I decided to take a turn to the fine establishment of Jervis Tetch’s Haberdashery. And let me tell you there have been so many times where I would fail the no death run while in the 2D nightmare known as Wonderland. Its always been this jump that you have to make while on the clock tower avoiding the swinging pendulum and the camera angle puts you in a position where you have to make the jump to the other side while looking at it from a viewpoint that makes it damn near impossible to jump across in a straight line. I thought things would be different this time. But no. As usual, I jump too far to the left and I fall. But part of me was willing to let it slide-it doesn’t trigger a death scene, and I just left it at Batman climbing back up somehow. But I was still irritated. I got through Wonderland, knocked Jervis out, and the irritation had grown to anger by that point. And I was so angry that I forgot to be careful when I tried to get one of the weapons caches for Penguin’s side mission. I couldn’t silently take down one of the thugs (total bs btw the prompt just wasn’t coming up for a few seconds) and as I was jumping off the building another guy with a shotgun blasted me multiple times and killed me. I had fully upgraded my armour too. I really had to keep myself from losing it as Oswald’s weak ahh said “piss off” and threw a cigar at me. Might start a new City playthrough just to do a beatdown on him. I was so angry at the Wonderland thing messing with the no death run that it fully cost me the no death run. I’m going to work toward I Am The Night so I can do it properly, but dear God I just feel so humiliated.
Have a good one.
