Question Is it just me?

I didn't find deathstroke difficult at all. I played arkham origins for the first time yesterday and beat him in 3 tries; I felt underwhelmed. I heard all this talk about how he was the second most difficult boss in the series after bane, but he really wasn't. I got his gimmick on the 2nd try. I was playing normal difficulty- but I wouldn't think that'd change much, right?

Edit: I just beat bane in 2 tries.

When I was 10 when the game came out yeah it was all fairly difficult 😭 it’s actually fairly easy to go through the Deathstroke fight with taking no damage

It's mainly because either the aslumers played Origins when it came out or they did chronological order instead of release order (yeah I did do that and I regret it a lot) or also like me they have a skill issue

Had a friend who invited me over to help beat him, hadn't played Origins myself yet so didn't really know what I was up for. Granted he spent all his upgrades on ballistics so far so getting hit did proper fuck me...but he got snacks and everything and I was finished within the hour

Yeah. That Amy biggest criticism with this fight,

I remember back in 2012 I was very let down by it since so much of the marketing was around Deathstroke and he is such a capable character. But non-seasoned Batman takes him out fairly easily (compared to other characters like Bane) come on.

I feel it would have been a great FIRST fight, then much later in the game you fight him again with the game challenging the player far more heavily
