Lists of Bugs/Glitches/Lazy Coding Experienced

[Reverus]

So I recently just played through Arkham Origins and unfortunately I was very disappointed with my experience after just playing Arkham City. I am trying to write a short review with what I think could be done with the game to make it significantly more indicative of the work Rocksteady has done, however, I thought I would list all the bugs,glitches and coding nonsense I experienced while playing. I have a list for both the original game and Cold Cold Heart. Feel free to chime in with any other bugs people see. The goal of this is to give people a good idea of the work that Warner Bros. put into this game and give people an idea of what to potentially expect.

Base Game:
• Case closed dialogue gone
• After game completion, detective work dialogue comes out of Batman
• After Deathstroke cannot leave
• No Quest Marker for Lacey Towers
• Screen Blackouts (for a second)
• Jumps frantically to gargoyle (does not walk)
• Enemies that float or fly around when killed
• Cannot walk up steps on a call
• Tutorials and prompts present either not at all or way past when they are first needed
• Shock gloves still on the Electrocutioner and Batman acquires them
• Enemy AI consistently glitches from standing still to running into walls
• Conversations continue after fights begin (Hotel)
• Riddler button used in theme park for the Joker
• No difference in hotel employees
• Very few models used and often repeat within a single group multiple times
• Won’t grab ledges with gunned henchmen (over world and sometimes in predator moments)
• Future Joker on joker cards in Blackgate (Mark Hamill version)
• No audio notification in predator (who is speaking in Detective Vision)
• Orange for unarmed and blue for armed henchmen (Dixon)
• Unplayable game with stuck start screen
• Some objects can be grapple to that don’t make any sense and some that do are not
• Batman moves and climbs objects that make no sense and cannot on some objects that do
• Cannot cancel some actions
• Batman mouth moving when the dialogue should be in his mind (Detective work)
• Interrogate animations are infrequently varied
• Interrogate/Y actions completely broken after game completion (exit game to fix)

Cold, Cold Heart:
• Silent takedowns broken on stairs
• Disarm worked as takedown (only once and then never again as Bruce)
• Disruptor fail (MISSES)
• Camera bug for last henchman if you cancel slowdown in Wayne Manor (After suit)
• No subtitles for activity outside
• Enemies do not move (Predator)
• Sonic Baterang near enemy, enemy teleports to it after not moving
• Security tied up and then not in cut scene
• Doors turn blue even if orange (Detective Vision up close)
• Guard officer platform is where enemies come from (Gothcorp)
• Weird effect after leaving with guard (First time from Gothcorp)
• Quest help after drop not during (XE Suit)
• Dialogue skips/moves ahead (Anarky quest if all 3 completed prior)
• Massive cyrodrill in belt
• Will not jump over car on one side, but on the other
• Asks for sonic Baterang, but voice prompt is for Thermal
• Shadows on outside of Door
• More Audio Skips
• Enemy far away gets stunned
• Icicle Hit Counter non-exsistent until One hallway in Gothcorp

It may be worth mentioning that, personally, I've only encountered one of the bugs mentioned here. Also, a lot of the things here aren't actually bugs.

This isn't a bug at all. Batman doesn't take the Shock Gloves, he takes a component off of the Shock Gloves and attaches them to his own gauntlets.

These aren't really bugs either. Design flaws/things that were overlooked, sure, but not bugs.

Does the title change help then? I mentioned in the text above, but forgot to rename the post

Bugs and glitches are synonymous, and lazy coding isn't the same thing as bad game design.

Okay whatever, not trying to be super professional, but thanks for the input.

I found a lot of bugs, in main campaing in the city while gliding from bridge to city side the map stay at lowpoly far rendering state and mesh collision fails (you can go through floor walls), batamna gliding animation glitch and repeatelly loop narrow cape up and down character(funny to see). Enemies magically appear at close, ANd the worst are the interrogation stuff, fail and enemy look at you from every direction forever, if you are on top he magically float levitate from the ground!, and the worst in Cold Cold Hart Interrogate Penguin's Dealer let me finish the enemy I supposed to interrogate, game saved a checkpoint and I am stuck forever, enemy won't respawn even I die, defeat a lost in other zones... didn't respawn no matter what.. the only solution is start from scratch/ zero de DLC! March 2022 and this thing never beign adress!!! SGame on you greedy Warner Bross!
