I didn't even bother with origins. Rocksteady wasn't developing it so i knew it was gonna suck. It seemed like a filler. lol
It was actually good, not as good as the previous two but still a great game
But YAS at someone making a new thread, I tried to get the old one re-opened with no luck. I've had it on pre-order since June and I'm gonna upgrade it to the collector's edition soon

Sure sis...
I've had it on pre-order since June too!!!
I was fuming when they announced it was being delayed.
But I pre-ordered from Gamestop and they added the red hood pack so I'm excited about it.
Origins wasn't a bad game at all, and people drag it just because it wasn't made by Rocksteady
Can't wait for AK it looks gorgeous
Can you blame people though. Rocksteady makes near perfect games. Our standards are high Origins wasn't much of an improvement. I'm sure it was a cute little game and all but it didn't bring anything new to the table. I'm pretty sure WB released it to calm our thirst for a new Batman game . They knew the true game of the generation was coming!!!
At the end of a new Video Game Awards 2014 video, Batman villain Scarecrow makes a short cameo, saying, "All that's left for you to do is watch," before it cuts to black.
We know that Scarecrow is going to be in the upcoming Arkham Knight, and though his appearance only lasts a few seconds, it looks like it could be a big hint to expect some Arkham Knight news during the show.
The 2014 Game Awards takes place in Las Vegas on December 5. IGN will live stream the event, so tune in at 6:00 PM PT/9:00 PM ET, or December 6 at 2:00 AM GMT/1:00 PM AET to catch the action. We'll update our Game Awards page with any big news and videos from the show.
Hopefully IGN is right and we do get some new footage!
I need new footage from Arkham Knight and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Damn, the release date got pushed back AGAIN? I thought it was releasing in February after they delayed it the first time.
No? I think it was just a rumor that it was coming out in Feburary. I think places like amazon and GameStop where putting the release date as February so that's what people thought. Rocksteady never confirmed it or anything. It definitely hasn't been delayed twice. lol
Origins didn't feel like a new game. It felt like a DLC for Arkham city. Not to mention the countless continuity errors. Atleast because of all that it's easy for me to write it off as a "what if prequel" instead of actual continuity. I know Rocksteady went in with the intention of just having their trilogy as weren't expecting money hungry WB to hire new developers to capitalize on it's success.
After a delay out of 2014 and into the new year, Rocksteady is giving us our first new look at the Caped Crusader’s next adventure. In this first of three videos, we see gameplay of the Dark Knight infiltrating Ace Chemicals.
The new footage gives us a look at a number of Batmobile abilities and some of Batman’s new abilities, like the fear takedown. There’s also clearly more interaction with the environment during combat.
