Arkham Origins: Cold, Cold Heart DLC

[RoJoHen]

Anybody playing this? I know a lot of people had bug issues with Arkham Origins, but I still enjoyed the game quite a bit (even though it wasn't as good as the other two).

Cold, Cold Heart takes place a week after Origins on New Years Eve, and Mr. Freeze is causing all sorts of trouble. I'm about 2 hours into the game, and I'm having a great time.

I enjoyed BAO a lot more than I thought I did at the time. I also haven't played a game in weeks. I think I'll download this and give it a shot.

It was fun! A nice little Batman diversion for my day off.

I think I want to replay Origins, too. I enjoyed it quite a bit the first time, but I was thrown off by how similar it was to Arkham City.

Although many consider it a subpar Batman Arkham experience, Arkham Origins was one of the better games last year when you think about it. Other than GTA V and The Last of Us, what else was really good last year?

Origins was a solid game with a great story. I know some people experienced bug issues, but I didn't have a single problem. The only thing that made it "subpar" in my book is that it utilized the exact same game map as Arkham City, so it felt more like a continuation of that game rather than a game unto itself.

It still totally satisfied my Batman needs, though. Going forward, I'd love to see more DLC stories like "Cold, Cold Heart." They've got a big open world, lots of empty buildings, and a huge rogue gallery to choose from. One of these downloadable missions every few months or so would be a lot of fun.

I do appreciate the sadism in Cold, Cold Heart funnelling players into My Alibi, one of the most notoriously save-ruining areas of Origins. I'd honestly have been happier going back into the goddamn Steel Mill after the wasted time that nightclub has eaten up and spat out.
