I went to the midnight release to pick it up and the another guy tried to get me to buy a season pass. I looked at the in game menu and I didn't see any option for a season pass, did they really make the only way to get the season pass is by buying it from a retailer? That can't be right, can it?

No,you get the option to buy it from the game menu.

Thats fine with me. I can go for another Arkham city with a bigger map. The map IS noticeably bigger right? Please say yes!!

I've been avoiding this to not be spoiled,waiting for a sale. I saw IGN's 7.8 and had to find out what happend. Not that 7.8 is bad,it's just bad for a Batman Arkham game.

Only 8 hours,too easy and lifeless city is what I get from that.

Gamesradar review here 4/5: http://www.gamesradar.com/batman-arkham-origins-review/ also complaining of a poor city.

A 6 from Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/batm.../1900-6415506/ Another knock on the city and multiplayer. (You'd think they would've learned by now forcing multiplayer into a game it has no business in lowers the review scores.)

Sounds very mediocre. Another in the long line of dev switch fails?

PC version is 25% off at GMG btw. Think I'll aim more 75% at this point.

When new games come out centerstrain01 and chris smoove both usually have commentary walkthroughs posted before release day

Hints at a Suicide Squad game:

I picked this up at lunch today... Is Origins really as bad as the review scores?

If you're a fan of the previous Arkham games then you will enjoy this. The mediocre reviews shouldn't put you off.

I'm enjoying it but it seems as though the new dev team haven't put any ideas of their own into the game.
