That's a great deal. I'd like to warn everyone that several people (including myself), have recently experienced a game breaking bug that prevents further progression. Bugs like this need to be fixed before this game is worth playing.

EDIT: This is the bane fight glitch.

There is a glitch so you can still progress. Check the steam community forums, I suspect you are talking about the tower vent that you cant go into?

I didnt have that problem. The main issue I had with it was a DX11 issue that caused cutscenes to play lagged to fuck. There was a fix discovered quickly on release day. It seemed to occur to AMD GPUS more often than NVidia, but it was happening to both (yes, I had Physx off). Whats funny is that the EXACT same issue occurred with Arkham City (not to me, but it happened to others).

I finished Origins a couple of days ago. It's not nearly as impressive as City was and came off as a cash grab to me. I would not call it a bad game by any stretch and at this price its worth it since its so new. Unless you're a Batman fan, its something that someone can wait for. It doesn't scream "must play immediately" like Asylum and City did. Its more of a sidestep back for the franchise than a step forward.

I've heard of nothing but issues with the game so far. Think I'll give this one a few months to let the devs properly finish it before I consider buying.

It's a great game, but not nearly as ambitious as it sounds. If the bugs get fixed, it's definitely worth that price. Arkham City is much more impressive and much more stable.

no need to refuse all ru websites just because you don't know Russian. Many RU sites are good and if really want to save money, you will know the benefits there. Just be careful then it is good to deal with RU websites. I have purchased many times on plati.ru with no problem and saved money a lot.

Though I was thinking about getting Dark Souls 2 day one.
But instead going to get in day one on PS3 then 75% off on PC. I love free limited editions. :3

I preordered on GreenManGaming for $37.50 a while ago, and haven't regretted it for a moment. The game, while not being particularly innovative compared to Arkham City, is still absolutely fantastic. Everything there is to love about previous instalments is here fully intact. Furthermore I actually like the story in this game more than Arkham City's. It feels like a more traditional and straightforward Batman story, as opposed to Arkham City, which at times felt more like something one would expect Snake Plissken to be starring in. The new voice actors for both Batman and The Joker are both fantastic, and honestly I don't find myself missing Conroy or Hamill at all.

As far as glitches are concerned, the only one I've encountered in 11 or so hours of play is the vent bug. You know what I did wen I encountered it? I reloaded my save, and went and did another side quest instead.

Personally I think the game is on par with the previous two, and if you're a fan then Origins is definitely worth buying.

I respect your opinion, but I think you're on a contact high. This game is not nearly as impressive as the prior two. It's a cash grab. It's not a bad game, but its not a step forward either. If I was to rank the 3 games this would easily be the bottom one. The other two were literally GOTY quality and this one is probably not even top 10 for me.

I never encountered the Burnley vent bug either as I avoided it until it was patched. I found the side missions rather tedious and bland and the core story gameplay monotonous. Even the new "investigation" thing is bland as your hand is held the entire time and it amounts to a 'look for the red thing and click here' time wasting task. New weapons like the shock gloves and glue grenade made combat far too easy.

I did like the introduction of some characters not seen in the games before and I thought that the Mad Hatter's side quest and the confrontation with Firefly to be the best parts of the game. The Mad Hatter quest was a bit boring in terms of the gameplay, but the presentation of it was well done.

I don't think this is a must-play whereas I championed the prior two probably more so than anything when they were out. This one is more of a "wait" til its super cheap. I'm hoping the DLC will improve my opinion, but I can't say I have high hopes. One thing I did like a lot is being able to play as Deathstroke in the challenge maps. He is fun to use.

"I respect your opinion, but I think you're on a contact high."

No, no I'm not. I actually have a Steam library of around 250 titles, in addition to another 30+ between Origin and UPlay, much of which I've yet to play. Even having an outrageous amount of other titles to play, I'm choosing Arkham Origins over the rest at the moment.

I have a larger library than you and similarly chose Batman over my humongous backlog the moment it was released. It was not an impressive experience. I disagree with the superlatives you throw around after 11 hours. I put 19 into it and have no desire to go back until the DLC is released. And I played Asylum and City on multiple platforms to their entirety. Im not even going to consider bothering with Origins on a console.

In respect to the OP, this is a deal to take as its more than 60% off as its not a "bad" game, but I would advise anyone other the biggest of Batman fans to not even consider paying full price for this game. Its just not that good and is the lesser of the prior 2 in the series. Add to that the amount of problems that some people are having (I had only one and it was solved quickly) this is easily a "wait" game.

I'm all for differences of opinion, but I took offense to your implication that I'm happy with the game simply because I'm caught up in the hype of "ZOMGz NEW BATMANS!!!11!" as though I were an idiotic 13 year old boy.

Batman: Arkham Origins is great. I'm experiencing lag in cutscenes though, does anyone know where I can download the fix? Apart from that the game is running flawlessly

There is no fix to DL. You have to edit the BmGame.ini file.

  • Access your Arkham Origins folder (SteamsteamappscommonBatman Arkham OriginsSinglePlayerBMGameConfig)
  • Open BMEngine.ini in Notepad
  • Set AllowD3D11 to False

There were a lot of people with this problem on day 1. This is the only fix thus far as its not been patched. Whats fucking stupid is Arkham City had the same problem. I didnt have it in City, but I did in Origins. This fix made everything perfect. The one drawback is you lose the DXII effects, but there's no other way to fix it yet.

I don't know if it was Mac only though and if it was then I definitely wouldn't count it as a bundle because the bundle doesn't come with a Mac (and no reasonable gamer should have a Mac already unless it's work supplied or you're an app developer or something like that)
