I really liked Origins. Plot wise I thought it was stronger than the other two. But I can kind of see where some peoples problems are, those things just never bothered me. Also Origins probably had the best utilised Bane since the Knightfall comic which gives it major points to me. Origins suffered from sharing City's map. I thought the story was solid, and the gameplay mechanics as good as the other games (and the crime scene reconstruction stuff was excellent), but it kinda felt like an Arkham City expansion pack than a fully-formed game in its own right. It was great revisiting Old Gotham, and exploring areas from City before they became part of the prison, but New Gotham was pretty bland and felt a bit underdeveloped in comparison, Nevertheless, I plan on replaying it in the lead-up to getting Knight.

My copy arrived this morning. The Batmobile is fun, but the game appears to be reliant on my remembering how to play a game I haven't played in like, 3 years, regarding controls and use of gadgets etc. That's annoying, as I dont remember everything

Just for shits & giggles I'd love to hear Micheal Keaton lend his voice to a Batman game. Hell I just want another game in the Burtonverse I myself want to see a game set in the Dawn of Justice universe with Ben Affleck as Batman.

With them using an older Batman you could have games work as his backstory and show previous adventures.

I stand corrected, the Batmobile challenges are a bitch.
I am a hopeless video game driver, I always have been. I was unable to complete the parking garage driving test in Driver, and was never even able to play that game because of it (you had to pass the driving test to play, but I am so bad at video game driving, I failed to do it over and over).
It is annoying knowing I will be unable to 100% complete this game already because of compulsory shit like this.

Prologue: Affleck Chapter 1: Lewis Wilson/Robert Lowrey - Obviously someone else doing the voice Chapter 2: Adam West Chapter 3: Micheal Keaton Chapter 4: Kevin Conroy (Animated) Chapter 5: Val Kilmer Chapter 6: Christian Bale Final Chapter: Affleck I didn't include Clooney because I know he'd NEVER do it as his feeling towards B&R are pretty well known Have each chapter be a few missions and a boss fight, he'll even throw in some vehicle sections

I still haven't played Origins. I have it, got it from Gamefly months ago for $7 (declared right from the game's announcement that if Joker was in it I wasn't buying the thing until the price inevitably dropped), but not made the time to actually play the thing. Hell, I've been wondering about replaying the first two and really not even considered playing Origins along with them.
Though my next game played is probably going to be a second go-through of either Twilight Princess or Super Paper Mario anyway.

Okay, so I had the ending spoiled for me but I was gonna hold off on seeing the true ending until I earned it for myself. That was until people were talking about how awful it was. So I bit the bullet and...yeah. Have a look yourself if you like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikF8FBodSUcSpoilers behind the link obviously. I just got my copy and I'm gonna play the hell out of it but seriously.

Sounds like it just barely works on PC. Also it's locked at 30 fps which is pretty sad for a game released in 2015.

Played it a bit last night. The batmobile itself is fun enough, just driving it anyway, seems 90% of the environment is crash throughable! But the tank stuff and challenges related to it is a bit stupid and really out of place.

How can the batmobile combat stuff be so clunky and half baked? They can't say they were rushed. Game was delayed a billion times!

Rocksteady is supposedly this top tier developer and they couldnt figure out it sucks in the early stages? Who really wanted Batmobile COMBAT anyway?

Reading this Batmobile stuff is confirming some of my fears about the game. I'll still eventually play it, but I'm kinda dreading the tank stuff.

Got it early last night. The Batmobile combat was clunky at first, but once I got the double thrusters for dodging, then it became awesome. And yes, I wanted some Batmobile action. It was in LEGO Batman, why not in the best Batman game adaptation ever?
Damn, we gamers are so jaded nowadays.
