7:05 PMmatthew wilson​it tanked, dispite very positive rception like every other remady game

7:07 PMmatthew wilson​505 is shity and wrong, but my bet more people complained, than bought control to begin with given it tanked

7:21 PMSusanne Christ​….wtf -_- hate to be a parent about now then lmao

7:30 PMaddictedtochaos​origins was done by the same team that is making gotham knights

7:31 PMaddictedtochaos​origins was quite good, not perfect but good, easily had the best boss fights in the arkham games

7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​the boss fights in the rocksteady arkham games are all mediocre aside from mr. freeze

7:33 PMjordan thompson​if only Tim Burton got another chance at Batman in the 2000s would could have had Johnny Depp and helena Bonham Cartar as joker and harley quinn
