Stop Giving This Game Hate For No Reason


This game gets so much hate, most of it undeserved. I want to look at some of the main complaints and talk about them. Please be advised about spoilers ahead.

1. The glitches on launch:

This is an example of just how stupid people can be. This game had multiple bugs on launch, and that's something that some haters still complain about tot his day. But that makes no sense. Arkham City had a bunch of bugs that still exist in the game. Same as Arkham Knight. Arkham Knight also was horrible at launch (for PC anyway)yet people barely even talk about that now. Talk about hypocrisy.

2. The Joker

Another example of stupidity. People complained that Joker was shoved into this game for no reason, yet no one complains about when the Joker appeared in Arkham Knight. The plot twist involving Joker and Black Mask was decent. It wasn't bad. I mean, it was better than the Arkham Knight reveal.

3. Lack of Innovation

This is kind of a good point, but not really. There was innovation. The graphics looked a lot better than AA and AC, the Shock Gloves were a cool addition, getting the Batwing to drop you off at certain locations was a great part of the game and so was the Batcave. How could you say this game lacked in innovation?

4. Story

The story was great. It was better than Knight's and certain points were better than City. It introduced all the familiar characters to the world in a good way.

Really though, I don't see why so many people hate this game.

I agree. Started playing it again last night. The intro with killer croc leading to hunting down penguin with batman having 8 assassins after him is great.

I agree with you completely. The Joker should have been left out of AK (as should the Arkham Knight).

reply

Completely agree, Origins is actually my favorite game of the series.
The story is fantastic, the boss fights are awesome and Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker both gave superb performances.

reply

I agree completely. It's so much better than that pos let-down that Arkham Knight was.

reply

Better than Arkham Knight for sure, but pales in comparison to City or Asylum.

City really was the pinnacle of the franchise, other than the fact that it was laced with too many of those riddles.
