The developers definitely knew what they were doing in those fields, nevertheless the overall execution of the game was lackluster. This definitely helps provide some tone to the story. That combined with the extraordinary soundtrack really help create the dark and epic atmosphere in the game. I was skeptical at first, but after playing the game I can safely say that the voice actors did an amazing job.
First, I want to start of by saying that the voice actors did an amazing job portraying their respective characters. This will serve as a good segue into the actual story of Batman: Arkham Origins. Out of all the assassins why would Deahtstroke be the only playable one in the challenge missions? The cutscene at the end of the credits and the fact that you can play as Deathstroke really bolsters the possibility of having a DLC dedicated to Deahtstroke's time in the Suicide Squad. Much like the Harley Quinn DLC in Batman: Arkham City I believe that Batman: Arkham Origins will get a Suicide Squad DLC where you play as Deathstroke. If you watch this video you will noticed that Deathstroke is being offered a position in a group known as the Suicide Squad by Amanda Waller. Previously I mentioned something about a possible DLC for Deahtstroke. While I do like the fact that this game seems to follow the comics in some respect I cannot help but say that this game just jumbles up the timeline much like the New 52 Batman comics. For example, the Shiva mission closely resembles the story found in the Detective Comics Fables Annual, which was a three part miniseries centered around Shiva testing three heroes, one of them being Batman, to see if they were worthy of meeting her master known as the O-Sensei. It could also be an entirely different story line than the previous two I mentioned as this game seems to be siphoning story material from a few comics. He could either train with the League of Assassins (or Shadows if you practice Nolanism) under master, and leader, Ra's al Ghul on Infinity Island located somewhere in the Caribbean Sea or he could train under Master Tsunetomo in Japan. In fact it should put Bruce Wayne somewhere in the Caribbean Sea or Asia where two possible story lines arise. Initiation will take place before the events in Batman: Arkham Origins.
So far we will be getting skins, skins, a few new challenge maps, more skins, and a story expansion. I should rephrase that, there are five confirmed DLC packs with a sixth DLC (still a rumor, but a rumor with a lot of factual backing) being Deathstroke's story. What a great deal this is definitely not a cash grab! Only $19.99 for something that should have already been on the disk. Everything else seemed rushed so you might as well rush the DLC! I mean if they announced all this DLC back in September 2013 why not just put it in the official release.
It was stated that the game would come with five DLC packs way before the game was even released just so they could drive up sales of the $20 season pass. Take Batman: Arkham City for example, the story in that game without any side missions took up roughly 50-55% of the entire game. There is something wrong when over 70% of the game centers itself around side missions and paid DLC. Seriously, what is up with the story being only 25%? I did not complete any side missions in my walkthrough, and even if I did it was only a small part of a bigger side mission. Deathstroke is not a happy camper right now.
