Arkham Origins was weak. Nice graphics, but so bland; solid gameplay, but woefully repetitive; cool story, but weak dialogue; and it goes on like that throughout... Glad I finished it, but not interested in 100%.
Jumped right in to Arkham Knight though, and wow! So slick! Great production value, though the dialogue's still a little weird at times and the Riddler stuff is kind of awkward, but yeah, just... Wow.

...All over again.
Wrapped-up Final DOOM, forgot to mention Master Levels for DOOM II in my last post, but yeah, I went and blew through those as well... Some cool setpieces, but not quite up to Final DOOM standards. Moved-on to Quake Epsilon and DOPA, remembered that I'd never finished either of the Quake Mission Packs, and so I'm onto those now. Didn't realise the first one was made by what would eventually become the studio responsible for the SiN series, and that the second one was made by the studio responsible for Strife! This's been a lot of consecutive id FPSes though, so I re-installed Arkham Origins (never finished it; about halfway through now), and of course I'm still plugging away at Ys VIII on my Vita... Also considering ordering the Asia-exclusive physical release of Ys Origin for Vita.
Speaking of Arkham Origins, I'm having way more fun with it now that I've taken some time away from the series, but it's still just not as polished as its two predecessors. The intro missions were all so drab, Electrocutioner was pretty forgettable, Deathstroke was kinda frustrating, Copperhead felt like a budget Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter mission was really cool but anti-climactic, the Deadshot mission can become tediously unfair, and the collectibles... Oh god, so many collectibles. Still looking forward to getting into Arkham Knight, but may just take a little more time before then.
Funny thing though; I went through my old posts, and it looks like the last time I was playing Arkham Origins, I was also playing Ys (Memories of Celceta) on Vita and Quake Epsilon :)
