Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that maybe that's not the actual ending of the game?

No? But per the reviews in the review thread, this is going to be a good game and I would like to play it on a lead performing platform, which will either be PS4 or PC for me.

Would be a great ending though, Batman sacrificing himself with a bomb in his anus.

I'd say this is looking like after driveclub, the second must have game for me on ps4. Can't wait to play it.

Arkham Origins on Gamespot 5 -_- no words.
No way, all fights with Bane are memorable, the Firefly fight was visually exciting, and the handcuffs fight with joker was chill inducing. Origins had a great direction, the best in the series by far.
It's really tough to fight a first impression, and in the exceedingly dominant culture a 7 means a C.
That's not how many sites work, and it's easy to remember what a 7 actually means. However, it's a knee jerk first impression of the score that can do damage.
No, all reviewers were sent the game on PS4 debug code.

He will be cloned again in sequel
Looks like its more of the same crap that made me not finish the other 2 games. By the time I was half way through the game, it became too boring because of the monotonous encounters and boss fights.
I'll wait for a price drop this time around.
Do we really need for this game to be reviewed ?
Ok, joke aside, this game is epic, can't wait to play a full walkthrough !
This game is clearly not for you.

Shiva was genuinely nothing more than a regular ninja enemy with a health bar, I can't even begin to think of how that qualifies as amazing.

It helps when you actually read the review.
Nothing Kevin said in his review seemed outlandish or unfair, and a 7/10 is a good score. Not everything has to be a 9 or 10.
This is exactly why I prefer reviews without scores. People focus way too much on the number.

It made sense to me immediately.
Sounds to me like the game runs out of steam in the 2nd half and the encounters start to become a lot more repetitive. But they are quite strong during the first half.
That's the impression I get.

bah, so i should wait till after tuesday to know if its safe to get.
I don't know, I think Kevin may have some valid points with the Batmobile. It looks amazing and I think I will enjoy it for awhile. But drawn out sequences that are forced upon you and annoying puzzle sections with it seem like it could grate on you. He makes a good argument against it.

Why do people always listen to the lowest score?
Shit! I'm so wary of spoilers I didn't read up to the
anus
That has a boss spoiler.

Never really thought the batmobile combat stuff fit with the rest of the game, but still excited to get my hands on this! Any idea when the giantbomb review will hit?
I'd rather have VanOrd use his site's scale as it's intended to be used than conform to the exceedingly dominant culture which is pretty fucked anyway.

Big spoiler?
Opinions, right?!
More like a Most Wanted boss we haven't seen. I'd avoid.

Reviews hyped me.

Forced vehicle segments are alllllways annoying in games. But I guess it depends on how it's handled.
If the batmobile is fun to play with, then it shouldn't be a problem if some gameplay scenarios necessitate the use of a batmobile.
I'll have to read the review in depth.
When I'm shopping on amazon, I always read the lowest scored reviews first. I need to make sure that people's gripes with a product aren't also going to be dealbreakers for me as well.
Confirmation bias.
Hope there aren't too many sections where I'm forced to use the batmobile.

Soooo everyone hates the Batmobile then! Not very surprising, the tank battle stuff hasn't been looking very good. But I'm sure I'll enjoy the rest of the game.

Too many good games this year. Too many I tell ya. MGS: GZ ain't even been released yet.
From what it sounds like, it's just that there's a big emphasis to the point where it's forced upon you in some points. Not having played it, I imagine it's like Saints Row IV, where you COULD get in a car and drive, but it's a lot more fun to traverse the city with your character's abilities.
Kevin writes great reviews and that is why it is worth to read them. If everything he said is true game definitely doesn't deserve 10/10 scores.
I trust gamespot.
Also smh, in every review thread for a hyped game people always gang up on any review scored lower than others, they just can't accept that the game might not be perfect.

On the plus side, a reviewer says that the game doesn't hold your hand when having to complete objectives. Like it gives you the tools and trusts that you'll know how and when to use them when the time comes.
Hearing that about the boss battles is really scary for me because that was one of the main things that I was excited about.

I think maybe the Tank bits may become a bit tedious.
But I feel like the regular use of the Batmobile looks fucking awesome.
Seems to have a great sense of speed and brute force.
