Glaciphy Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The 3 Arkham games together are currently €12 in the store. I only played through Asylum a little bit. Should I just buy City for €7,50 and skip Origins, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber__Kate Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I never liked the MP aspect of Origins and the fact that the servers are closing soon does not reignite my interest to go back and try to get the MP trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristmas2 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) The 3 Arkham games together are currently €12 in the store. I only played through Asylum a little bit. Should I just buy City for €7,50 and skip Origins, or? Arkham Asylum is amazing, Arkham City is great and Arkham Origins is great too. If you love Batman, comics, movies and its lore - each of those games are worth playing. Problem is that they all have a very similar gameplay, so it is best to make breaks between each game. Origins is great part of this trilogy, tells great origin story, but gameplay is very similar to Arkham City. You should: - Read Road to Arkham comic book - Play Arkham Asylum game - Read Arkham City prequel comic book (5 Issues) - Play Arkham City game - Read Arkham City comic book - exclusive digital chapter (7 issues) - Play Arkham City Harleys Quinn revenge DLC - Read Arkham City comic book Endgame (6 issues) - Read Arkham City comic book Unhinged - Read Arkham Origins prequel comic book - Play Arkham Origins game - Play Arkham Origins Blackgate game And then go to Arkham Knight comic / game / dlc Hope it helps I also recommend to read Killing Joke, The Man who Laughs, The Long Halloween, Year One comic books before playing, you will thank me later Edited November 4, 2016 by Kristmas2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently still playing Asylum, I'll think I'll buy the other 2 separately once I'm done with Asylum. I do really love the lore, but I've never read any comics though haha. Shame on me PS: I might look into getting the comics! Edited November 4, 2016 by Glaciphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simula67 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 This game gets so much hate just for the MP (which does suck) but it was a fantastic story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawltyPowers Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thankfully the online trophies can be done in Private. In the 20 or so attempts I made trying to access Public Servers I think I got into a match twice and then got disconnected. The MP wasn't a bad idea but it was poorly implemented and should never have been more than an idea. The single player campaign was mostly enjoyable aside from a few glitches, none of them game breaking. The batarang though, switching buttons because that's how the x-box was, no, no no. It's a good game, it's just its predecessor did everything better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DARKB1KE Posted November 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) For the love of god people.... COMMUNICATE! Say what you need when you go into a match with boosters. Let them know what you're working on (paragon or the 4kill)... So many sessions wasted due to people not saying a word, or people trying to both kill... so frustrating. I spent 6 hours on a trophy that should have taken 10 minutes if people had any common sense. Edited November 5, 2016 by DARKB1KE 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done with the multiplayer trophies as well. I should be on later this week but fighting off the worse seasonal allergy/sinus infection imaginable. I should get a real life piece of Platinum for this stupid flu/cold thing. Oh yeah, and I echo your sentiments. People freakin' say something when you're boosting anything.

fantrig99 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Hi I recently ordered Batman Arkham Origins and just realized that the server is ending next month on December 4th. Hopefully the game arrives around late next week and will eventually get the online trophies done on time. Thanks for the info!

LittleBlueMacaw Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Is challenge mode online too (or at least needs PSN)? I keep reading about "Ranked Maps" and I have no clue if I have to be on a leaderboard or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if you're signed online, then your times and scores for the challenge maps are submitted for the leaderboard to compare against others, but its optional. You can still play them offline for the trophies. The trophies are unlocked just for completing them and has nothing to do with the leaderboard or submission of scores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 7€ for a DLC of 2 trophies? No thanks. I'll probably wait for the season pass to be on sale and try to do it legit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Slime King Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 2 bronze trophies at that. I guess there is no reason to assume that they will delist the DLC at the same time the servers expire but I bought the Cold Cold Heart DLC just to be safe. I would like to 100% all the Batman Arkham titles eventually. After Origins would be a good time to clean up my last stragglers in City while my bat senses are still honed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're arguing cost vs trophy ratio, then its probably a bit expensive. However, cost vs time to completion ratio, it's not bad. I'd say in that regard, there's many DLC's more expensive. The time to complete all 24 levels will take the average person about 6 - 12 hours of game time or more, even if you use youtube videos to find the answers. There's also extras in the DLC not trophy related you can do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
