With me generally getting angry at every recent title, I went back to Arkham City and played on that for a bit, just to make sure I hadn't suddenly become crap at games.
I haven't.
Arkham Origins really does play like a dog.
Combat and movement are nowhere near as sweet as they were in the previous two titles.

"Ah, but that's because it's a younger Batman. He's rough around the edges, not as slick as he is in Asylum and City"

Bullsh*t. You don't INTENTIONALLY make a game LESS INTUITIVE. WB Entertainment can't use that as an excuse for dropping the ball on the gameplay front. Something everyone seems to be doing at the moment.

This game's going to have to fart rainbows before the end, otherwise I'm writing it off.

Its definately got its problems.  Just doesnt run as smoothly as Arkham City.

I get the feeling the engine that they used was already pushing its limits with Arkham City, so trying to add in all this content, doubling the size of the city, a bunch of new gadets to play with, the game is struggling to process it all.
