This was a pretty great game, but there are some major flaws that I wish I'd known about before purchasing it. So to spare you the shock and frustration, here are a few colossal imperfections that greatly lower my rating.
1. The dialogue is terrible. The creators of Arkham Origins apparently forgot that Batman is not some bloodthirsty demon. The threats he spits at random thugs during interrogations sound so juvenile! On top of that, as usual, the thugs are constantly saying the same things over and over on every mission. Would you really say, 'I'm gonna crush you' or, 'You're never gonna hit me' if you're 12 other buddies have already been swiftly taken out and scattered over the cold snow like bloody sprinkles?
2. The boss fights are so easy. If you were expecting more, think again. But that being said, there was one fight that was so impossible it had me mad for several hours. Because I couldn't get past it, it was awful trying to deal with it over and over, when all I wanted to do was keep playing the game. What makes it worse was these impossible little missions just kept popping up, and all of them suddenly make you feel hopeless and panicked.
But besides that.. the game was pretty good. And even after the main missions are over, so far, Gotham City still keeps the player entertained.
