Going to play for a while and then get something to eat.

Ok, I am about to play now.
Game has some tecnical issues. Found a youtube video to fix the problem. Game freezes when running in DX11 mode.
“D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config\BmEngine.ini”
AllowD3D10=True
AllowD3D11=False
had to do that make the game work.

Migrated a lot of content from the old blog. Wrote a review of RoboCop Rouge City. Going to play some more now.
Fight with killer croc is pretty good.
Not a huge fan of UI. I wish I customize it better. I need to look into it. Going to take a little bit of a break and play more maybe later tonight.

Another session about to commence.
I wanted to spend time playing more, and doing other things less. So here we go.
Navigating using the map is super clunky. I dont like it.
Rumors about technical issues are real. Sound just went away. Can’t hear ingame audio. Can hear audio in the menus though.
The quality seems to be noticably lower than Arkham City.
There is a bug that will make Batman smaller in size hard locking the game. So dumb.
Done for a little bit. Going to render some videos now, and go to sleep. Will make a plan for tomorrow. Got a lot of work I need to finish tomorrow.
This game is definitely made by a B tier studio. Noticeably lesser in quality compared to Arkham City.

Going to play some more now.
Menu navigation is totally meant for a controller. Super annoying when using keyboard mouse.
Taking a little break to work on the website.

Another session
Fight with Deathstroke is annoying and the same crashed.

Updated website. Going to give it another go.
Finished the fight. Annoying but its was OK.
Hard locked the game because I can’t exit a room because pressing Space wont open the door. Restarted the game and that made it work. I have a feeling there might come a time when I cant proceed because of these bugs.
Going to take a little break. Played the game for 4.8 hours total.

Played some more. There is this bug where Batman becomes tiny. Can’t reach doors or other items. Need to restart the game. The game is fun, but I am not sure if I want to continue to play this.

Going to play more.
My computer crashed. This hasnt happened in a long time. Unrelated to the game. Happened when I was moving the VM window around.
About to start now.
Ok, I actually like the story. This is where the Joker makes an appearence for the first time in Batman series. I like how they did that part. Very cool.
I think I know how this game is going to end. Its basically the beginning of Arkham Asylum. Its funny how I remmeber the beginning of Arkham Asylum after all these years. Played the demo of that game in 2007 I think?

Playing more.
Copperhead section where batman is slow is boring.
I think I broke the boss fight by killing her outside the stupid zone. This is so boring. Taking a break.

Going to give it another go.
Done with the fight. Going to take a break.
Apr 26, 2026 Sunday 04:13:22 PM CDT
One more round. Got to the hotel. Joker in the penthouse. Going to update website content. Will play more later in the evening.
Apr 26, 2026 Sunday 06:33:02 PM CDT
One more round. Might not get a chance to play for another week.

Time to play some more. Finished all work stuff. Going to spend some time just playing. Friday, May 1, 2026, 9:05 PM CDT - taking a little break. Got a phone call, spent some time on the phone talking to family.
