No, it wasn't. Origins wasn't even close to being as good as Arkham City. Not by a couple of thousand goddamn miles.Quote:

There's no such thing as too many Joker stories. Only Joker stories that aren't very good.
Sure it was.Quote:

Most arguments against it hinging on "Oh noes, it's not Rocksteady!" and "OMG! Theres a shitty online mode! and DLC costs money!"
No, it wasn't. A lot of it has to do with progression. Arkham City upped the ante constantly with HUGE payoffs, whereas Arkham Origins just sort of fizzled out and disappointed one encounter after another.
I gotta disagree there, Joker is like the Wolverine of DC. He's always doing something, somewhere, at the heart of the conspiracy, and is completely immune to everything until the very end after he's done some earth shattering crimes / murders. DC enough already, you have a rogues gallery that can circle the earth twice. Stop whoring out a classic villian.Quote:

That would be so fucking awesome, I would buy that on day one.Quote:
