It's so cool that you can enter new locations during the side missions. Even if it's only one room most of the time.

Just to note, I unlocked mine via VPN and am dead happy to find that the Nvidia key I've used also has the Deathstroke DLC included. Not sure how, guess its just considered 1 pre-order package.

If I am not mistaken the developers said they pushed the T rating really far.

The best I've heard all year. It's overwhelming.

Well, it's not a mess
It's more straightforward than AC and after the slow start (< 40%) it's hard to stop playing because you really want to know what happens next. It's hard to describe without spoilers but after the "twist" the game turns into an awesome experience.
Suddenly there are more (long) indoor levels and it feels more like the first game (AA).
To put it simply: The first 50 % of the game is typical AC gameplay, the second half is more like AA (imo).
Thanks.
Damn, that sounds amazing. Didn't expect this to offer the best of both previous games. WB Montreal really seem to have knocked it out of the park.
In what terms? Technically? Recordings? Voice Acting?
Yeah, they really should just go with East Coast time

I'm not sure but I don't think so.
Voce acting is good of course but,I don't kn the term, the spacing of sound effects sounds amazing, It's like they nailed what and when should be heard to give atmosphere or feedback. And it's not a secret I'm in love with the soundtrack since the first time.

Also from what I've seen so far, the new batman voice is pretty good but he has a tendency to read his lines flat like Conroy does sometimes. No idea how you could say the voice acting is better than asylum or city, it sounds pretty much the same.

It's not downloading anything, it's just unpacking what it already downloaded.

I like conroy better, craig's voice reminds me of archer at some points.
Its not terrible but I think it does the job well.

Agreed with everything else though.
Definitely not, Arkham games got the best combat in an action game period. I do fantasize about a DMC/Bayonetta-type game using Arkham's combat system though, now that would be bad-ass to me.
Glad to see the positive impressions. I have mine installed and ready to go and once I watch the new Modern Family, I'll be jumping in.
I was pretty down on the game, as a big fan of the original cast and also as someone who's normally not crazy about prequels. But I've had a rush of hype for this the past few days and I liked the Nvidia presentation showing. Also, based on what I've heard, the new cast seem to be doing a commendable job filling the roles.

they got the best combat system among the mainstram games, but they dont even come close to stuff like bayonetta.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are closer to action RPGs rather than character action games (Bayo, DMC, NG, MGR, etc.). Their approach to combat is just too different to lump them in the same category.
Same way I view the Batman games. They have a great combat system for the ganres they reside in (AA: Metroidvania, AC: Open world) but they just don't hold a candle to the aforementioned greats of the character action ganre. I love the combat in the Bats games as it looks so elegantly and flows so well but saying that they are the best in the biz in terms of the combat systems is more than just stretching it.

Yup, Arkham's combat is superior to most mainstream titles but the depth and sandbox-feel of Bayo/DMC blow it out of the water.
I don't think I'd want Bayo/DMC's stylized combat system in an Arkham game though, the combat for this series is pretty much spot on for a Batman-type game.
Yeah. The combat doesn't have as much depth as traditional character action games but it's just perfect for the game: you feel like the goddamn Batman when you get a good combo string going.
I hear you, but I would still love to try a Bayo/DMC with Arkham's combat system.

Wow, Roger is really small.
Troy is also very tall, so there's that too.

I think a major reason the Arkham combat system is so good is because it fits the character so well. Don't get me wrong, it's a really great combat system regardless of which game could have it, but it really fits Batman in particular.
Also, pre-ordered Origins but I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. I don't do midnight releases normally, even though I really want to for this one. :/

I agree, but I think it really could fit any super-hero who uses martial arts. It would definitely suit Spider-Man.
So there's a bonus if you buy Blackgate on Vita, and Origins on PS3:
Get Arkham Origins on PS3 and Arkham Origins Blackgate on PS Vita, and unlock this exclusive Beware the Batman costume (modeled after the TV show of the same name) for Blackgate.

I bet that looks so great next to the other character models

I unlocked using London in my VPN. I played about 45 minutes. Plays well on my gtx 670. I love the faster combat and the improved art style. I'll be streaming tomorrow at 12pm cst on Twitch. http://twitch.tv/costanzathemage

I would agree that the combat system could definitely fit Spider-Man - just make the animations more nimble and have Spider-Man type takedowns over Batman ones and you would have a combat system perfect for it. Unfortunately, unless Rocksteady (or a company connected to Rocksteady like WB Montreal) did it, any superhero game that implemented a similar combat system would be seen as a cheap knock-off.
Disney/Marvel really need to try to get better super-hero video games. WB/DC does as well, but at least they have the Arkham games, which are by far one of the best licensed games ever.

I figured out what it feels like with the enemies being faster and more aggressive: it feels like Assassin's Creed. It's just a constant cavalcade of attacks from enemies and if you just stand there and dodge roll and counter it's easier to maintain a combo than if you actually punch dudes/use gadgets.
Definitely.
