Topic: Arkham Origins easier then City?

I'm not liking Arkham City, mostly because of the control scheme and the difficulty. Sad, I know. Does this game have a simpler control system or is it easier?

Um. What? The two games are similar in play styles I imagine.

I prefer Arkham City over everything in Origins

Does this game have a simpler control system or is it easier?

Sadly, no. From what I've read and heard (via word of mouth), is that Origins has a better combat system than its predecessors.

I'd suggest trying out the demo for Origins to see if it is easier for you before renting or buying it.

Is the demo online?

Check the eShop. I don't know why there wouldn't be one.

It's not there. Oh well.

I just checked out some reviews, which said there's less stealth and the fighting is easier. That sounds promising to me, seeing as I can't seem to do stealth for crap in Arkham City, and I'm not good enough yet to learn combos.

City is easier because of the superior Game Pad's features, and the armored suit attack.

Origins is harder than City. There are a lot more enemies, and if you want to survive in some stages, you have to stealth, even when goons don't have guns. As soon as you will get electric gloves, you will learn that reviewers are wrong with "one hit win" (I still don't know how they do it... unless they're idiots like always and play it on easy). As soon as you get it, it's a godsend and fighting is much more manageable, especially on NG+ and I am the night.

In short, I died more in Origins than in City. And to me plot and gameplay wise Origins is better than City.
