This game crashes so much. I'm tempted to say fukk it and take it back then pick up bf 4 for the pc


really? i've had zero crashes.

i've just started the game, been running around getting xp.
i just got to the arms deal with the guy with the santa hat.

i think the graphics are great and on par with the previous games if not better (however i do have a much better gpu now).

the fighting mechanics are more challenging.
i find myself rolling up on a group of 4 or 5 thugs then soon i'm swarmed by a dozen.

getting off the gel bomb quick in a fight is impossible in Origins.
using the grapple requires much more selectivity because the time it takes to pull someone in
and hit them seems to leave you more vulnerable than in AC.

i think this game will punish button mashers something serious and reward people who actually master
the fighting mechanics more than in the two previous games.


i do wish i could grapple onto more of the higher structures though, too many things seem out of bounds so far.

beat the game, its shorter than City. Graphics are a bit of a disappointment, because in the game demo's everything looked a lot sharper and detailed.
When you grapple onto ledges he automatically hops up, when in city he would just hold on and you can pull yourself up, its annoying when you grappling unwittingly on to a ledge and hop straight into gunfire. Combat isn't bad, the buttons are just not as responsive especially with the quick trigger weapons
makes you not even want to use them

i'm enjoying the game a lot. you nikkas complain about everything.

Yeah I just got it today and I feel the same. I really liked the opening, reminded me of Asylum which is my favorite. Looking forward to really getting into this game this weekend.

yea i was playing on the 360. it seems to happen on the 360 a lot that they are releasing a patch for it. for me the game crashed and froze, it didn't unlock certain unlocks. wouldn't target the person i was aiming at......shyt is extremely buggy on consoles. i just beat it today about to take it back to bestbuy and pick up bf4 for the pc and assassins creed 4 for the 360 or ps3

So I had some credit left over from a trade-in so I bought this game on the PS3 for $20. And...... this game is kinda good, breh. :patrice::ehh: Way better than it's Metacritic score suggest. I don't know if the reviewers know some behind the scenes stuff and are riding with Rocksteady, but no way does someone play this game and say that it's a 6 or 7 outta 10. :childplease::stopitslime:: I'll chalk this up as another example of gaming journalism not knowing what they are talking about. :pacspit:

i agree.

this game is great so far, i'm running around gaining xp in the beginning of the game so i can have some juice before i go through the story and start running into heavy hitters and being ill equipped.

the fighting mechanics is the biggest difference from the previous games, you have to be much more aware of what is around you and you can't rely on the fact that because you are in the middle of a move that you are safe...if you are in the middle of a grapple or a ground pound and thugs are up and about, you will get hit.

Just beat this game...yall hype of death stroke battle...but i really enjoyed the fire fly and bane fights better. it's a solid 8/10...good story....

I did think you would have a boss fight with all the assassins and rouges but you really only have about 4 legit boss fights.
