    Arkham Origins is, ironically, the most memorable to me. The overall ambiance and the soundtrack, especially Jokers "Carol of the Bells", left deeper impressions in me than any of the other Arkham games, even if the gameplay is considered the worst out of the 4.

      So agreed. I loved this version of the joker the most. That haunting girls smiling face, the version of bane and killer croc and Batman are all my favorite of them all and the way the story was told and unfolded. I really feel like this next game is going to blow everyone's minds. They are great at character and story delivery and I cannot wait to see what they have created with more tools at their hands.

      Bane becoming dumb before knightfall
      Bane injecting himself with a drug that doesnt exist for another 8 years

      Joker doing the blackgate riots Arkham asylum was suposed to be the First time joker takes over a prison which is Why batman is so unprepaired but he takes over blackgate atleast 2 Times in Arkham Origins and one time in Origins blackgate and the fact the blackgate riots wasn't mentioned in city or asylum yes again im talking in universe in knight it's shown That thugs still mention it Allot maybe They shouldve set up it Better by having thugs talk About it in asylum then we see it in Origins or They couldve added lines from Knight in city and asylum with the thugs this one isn't that bad but you asked for all of them by saying theres Only one
      A matter of family which is made by WBgm
      Tim being Robin and espacially him meeting and fighting joker when joker said in Arkham asylum Il even give you Harley you could use a new sidekick Meant Yo be a reference to Jason but Robin met the New Robin in a matter of family and fought him so it Cant be that he Didnt Know there was a New Robin but no
      But here's a few that the comics made even thé canon ones that doesnt compute With Arkham knight Arkham Genisis which is the one we know is Canon makes one error deathstroke
      In knight he says he hasn't been in Gotham Since Origins yet he's in Genisis his scenes with Jason as knight make Sense since those take place not so Long before knight but then they show him fighting Jason when he was Robin and batman and they show him in Arkham asylum during Arkham and him and Jason breaking into Wayne Tower and Tim knowing and saying deathstroke has a New sidekick facepalm so no joker was not the Only plot hole

    As a story... my memories of Arkham Origins is an excellent- one of the best crime dramas in video game history. But it was not as good of a Batman game narratively. But to me, it was as good as any Batman game toe to toe in the credibility of its storyline.
    On the gameplay side some elements were lacking or bloated.
    The camera was too close to Batman and often left about a third of the environment hidden and made it unfairly more difficult. Additionally, the color scheme had plenty of black and white making nothing lit properly.
    Onto the bloat. Whether it was gadgets eith impractical usage, or the tedious and repetitive nature of the collectathon that Origins presented, nothing new in single player advanced the series.
    And yet its multiplayer was excellent.
    I would welcome a remaster on this game. While none of the bloat would likely be fixed the majority of what it lacks would be improved in simple yet notable ways. Pulling the camera back, recentering it and increasing the color gamut to "light" what needs to be lit would vastly improve the game in 2020.

I ran into a glitch where you have to use the electric gloves to get an elevator to move, and no matter what I did, the elevator wouldn't go anywhere. Thankfully it was patched, though. I also feel like the combat in the game wasn't quite as refined as City's, or Knight's combat.

    I went back to it recently with that PSNow free trial. The cutscenes are great, the art-style I like, and while it drudges up stuff we're all too familiar with, it is a tight story. I like fast travel and I like how the world isn't made to traverse easily, it feels like a narrative technique to make you take in the world more when travelling it, rather than turning off and just spamming the grapnel and boost buttons. When it came out, it just felt like "another game", but playing it today, with the last Arkham game a year and a half ago with Arkham Knight in 2015, it felt quite good. But do the side missions as you play the main game, and always fast travel to get past the annoying bridge. My favourite part actually was the GCPD low-ranking criminals, it expands the world so much more just to be going after a street thug with a story. I wish they brought that back, constantly going up against the biggest villains can be fun, or it can make them pedestrian and repetitive.

  • @atomic_xfire
    @atomic_xfire 4 года назад +1

    What WB Montreal could do is upend the gadget system. By the time Knight came in the slew of Batman's gadgetry had swollen due in no small part to the mantra of "whats next?" in the current system.
    Think of what happened in God of War. Instead of evolving the traversal of Batman on the XYZ axis, instead they could have a deeper focus on a subteranean or interior environment a la Legend of Zelda, where the gadgetry is tuned to opening up extra areas and zones rather than exploring specifically the altitudes. Mind you, no one would wish for that to disappear, but many of Arkham's late stage additions to your core moveset became so esoteric as to not be useful. I recall clearly on multiple playthroughs of AK forgetting I had a skill or move because its practicality wasn't as suited as another skill in which I was already far more comfortable with.
    Lastly, the vehicular side of Batman needs an overhaul. The batmobile mever shined quite so much as it had during the challenge sections and Mr Freeze DLC. And that was because the events were suited for the vehicles behaviours.
    A memorable section with the Batwing dodging court of owl drones to protect cityhall anyone?

    I honestly thought this game was just as good as Arkham City and was just as fun. The story was good, boss fights were unique, and each of the assassins had enough personality to make them easy to remember.
    -Deathstroke had experience and was calm
    -Bane used brute strength
    -Firefly loved destruction

    One thing I love about Origins is that Batman and Gordon have bona fide character arcs, something the Rocksteady games never really did, or at least not well.

    I loved the dynamic between Batman and Joker. It felt like a proper introduction to the Arkham universe and Roger Craig Smith killed it as Batman.
    My only problem with the game was that Gotham, which was bigger than in Arkham City, felt somewhat empty and unused.
    I got faith in WB Montreal's new Batman game.

    Yes, I would like to see another Arkham Origin game being developed, like imagine you're facing The Court Of Cowls and the Talons as the new boss to play as either Batman or Nightwing. Also, Doctor Death as the new villain from the 2011 52 comics of Batman.

    Most underrated Video Game
    Batman Arkham Origins
    It's not even up for debate in my opinion origins by far is one of the most unappreciated works of art in the modern age and has been snubbed multiple times it should've been in the return to arkham as well as many other collection AND should've been re-released after the ps4 came out less than a month later my favorite batman title to date followed by city knight and asylum just because it doesn't change up what had already been done doesn't mean it's bad if it ain't broke don't fix it this game is amazing from its plot to the atmosphere which is a nice change of pace since RockSteady just has their games take place on any ol random no one gives a shit night

    Don’t sleep on Arkham Origins. It’s a fantastic game. One of the best prequels I’ve ever played. It deserves a remaster

  • @ChadMichaelSimon
    @ChadMichaelSimon 4 года назад

    I've written volumes over the years defending this game. It delighted me from the first play through, and it ingrained itself into me during my six or so attempts to beat it in I Am the Night mode, which I failed to achieve primarily because of Bane. The pacing, the tone, the score, the voice work, the aesthetic, the DLC, and the setting were all wonderful. Here are a few of the standout moments for me:
    1) The Year One feel. I loved that Batman was a rumor, untrusted by the police. Rocksteady established this to be just a few years before Arkham Asylum, but I choose to think that the later games take place a full ten years later. I love this rough proto-Batman and...
    2) The true meaning of the title. The name Arkham Origins is easy to dismiss, but this game does a superb job, if you let it sink in, that all of these things that make up Batman are happening for the first time. Between the cracks, if you scan all the monument collectables, it tells a haunting story of the foundation of Gotham and the roots of what was Arkham Asylum, culminating in the announcement that the old place would be opened again. It's subtle but chilling. This is truly the origin of all that is to come.
    3) Like... The Shiva tie to the League of Shadows and her storyline bringing us to the base of Wonder Tower, where R'as al Ghul will stage his ultimate plot in City.
    4) Like... Being inside the steel mill when it was still Sionis's turf and literally creeping in the ceiling rafters above the office just like Marty McFly did above the stage in Back to the Future 2. So much happens in that place in City and the Harley Quinn DLC.
    5) Like... The Nygma data packet collectibles. This was one of my favorite storylines in Origins. He wasn't the Riddler yet. The collecting and hiding of data packets to blackmail Gotham was written organically as something Batman stumbled into and foiled, which perplexed and maddened Edward into becoming the Riddler. He didn't hide them as a game for Batman; it was just a job he took. The final 100% reveal of seeing the prototype for the first Riddler trophy was brilliant. It gives more meaning to the trophies and puzzles in the later games, as if he's trying over and over to win a version of that night he first lost against Batman.
    6) Meeting Barbara. I love how she was handled in this game as the spunky, intelligent daughter of the commissioner who was able to hack into Batman's com in one of the funniest moments in the game. She's his first ally beyond Alfred. The entire game shows Bruce slowly accepting the help of others, and she's the first one to worm her way into his world. Knowing her fate makes seeing her young and spry all the more tragic.
    7) The Deathstroke battle. I've played it at the highest difficulty enough to learn how to navigate it so that he never jumps up to launch the barrels. Call it a Quicktime event if you want to, but when you play through it perfectly, it's kinetic, cinematic, and a welcome alternative to the normal combat.
    8) Likewise, the Copperhead battle is crazy good. You really have to be on your toes and at the top of your game with her. Though... the geography of her wing of the steel mill doesn't make sense compared to the exterior of the building. :-)
    9) The entire adventure through The Final Offer. Penguin doesn't take Batman seriously, and he manages to get the best of him here. Maneuvering through the ship is the game's second-most unique experience after the hotel. "Naughty! Proper naughty!" I love the moment when you finally emerge outside and are immediately confronted by the message from Anarky.
    10) Beating firefly across the bridge was one of the most unique battles in all the Arkham games. The stakes were high, the threat was real, and the playground across which they fought was epic.
    11) The Joker. I put this Batman-Joker story right next to the opposite bookend, the Joker psyche storyline in Arkham Knight. Troy Baker gives a fantastic performance channeling Mark Hamill while making his own as a younger, more sinister version. Think about it. This is the only time in the Arkham series where we see the Joker out there just being the Joker, blowing s*** up and causing chaos. I love how they don't understand each other, underestimate each other, and then come to be locked in the beginning of their symbiotic relationship over the course of this game. I loved playing the Red Hood origin scene. I loved seeing him meet Harley, especially when she thought he was talking about her when he was talking about Batman.
    11b) Our first, unannounced glimpse of the Joker in the crime scene recreation, when some mystery figure appears, and Batman first begins to wonder who this person is. It's done so, so well. In subsequent playthroughs, when you know it's him, it's haunting to see this pixelated, undefined shape sneaking in from the balcony. Later, under Gotham, Batman hears the name "Joker" for the first time and has no real reaction, similar to Bale's Batman at the end of Batman Begins. "I'll look into it..."
    12) The Cold, Cold Heart DLC is astounding. I love everything about Mr. Freeze in the Arkham games. He's a standout in City. His DLC in Knight is the best of the best. His origin story in Origins, told through the crime scene investigation mechanic, is one of my favorite parts of the game.
    13) "I don't patter."
    14) The way the Santa hat thug is so dismissive of Batman at first. "No. No. Stop. Stop." It's priceless. He doesn't take this freak seriously at all... until he's dangling from atop the bank building clock.
    15) The way the game teases out the city at first and then gives us that great rooftop reveal after the first Nygma jammer. It navigates us across the bridge to introduce the first random act of violence and grapnel boosting. Then, tracking the Penguin gave a brilliant tour of what will become Arkham City.
    16) Batman and Jim Gordon's relationship. Jim is beginning to understand who this guy is over the course of the game, but he's still got a job to do. They have a great scene on the bridge after the Firefly fight. Their scene near the elevator before the Blackgate riot is perfection. Their scene in the chapel at the end is the genesis of all that's come.
    So, yeah. I've given this game a lot of time, thought, and love, and it's among my favorite games of all time. I could keep adding to this list all night.

    After playing Arkham Knight and being able to zoom around the city way faster than all the other games and I'm not even talking about using the batmobile , I can't go back to the other games. Moving around just feels so slow compared to Arkham Knight.

      Im with you there on movement. That blew me away to move that fast and nimble in knight. When I go back to origins I just have to sacrifice the joy of fast flight for the sake of getting a great story and character development. Origins just sticks with me but definitely after playing knight. I hope everything from there forward hits that same satisfying feeling of flying and agility. I can put in knight and just enjoy zooming around the city alot like the spider Man game but none of the other Batman games are enjoyable to fly around in. You're right. Your just SO SLOW compared to knight maybe this next one will hit it out of the park. Movement and character/story/city design

    Origins is probably my favorite of the bunch. I do love City and Asylum, but I felt that those were fan service. Especially with Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman. He is my favorite Batman voice actor, but I enjoyed Roger Smith’s version in this video game. Origins has so many Easter eggs in it, that if you read the comic books and watched the cartoon, you would catch. It was subtle nods that Batman fans needed. I played hours upon hours with Origins and was deeply scared of the Bane level. That was a level that won’t let me play this game again. So what I did with Batman at the end of this game was place him where Batman began, Crime Alley. I won’t put it back into my xbox again.

  • @aloysiustantra6977
    @aloysiustantra6977 3 года назад +1

    While people hated Origins because they felt it was like an extension to City. I feel that was one of it's strengths. Because the combat system was basically identical to City, i can play Origins and City without ever fearing of losing muscle memory (unlike when i play City the for the first time after i played Asylum).

  • @atakancangunes5853
    @atakancangunes5853 4 года назад +1

    There are no Batman games that could beat this one to me. It has the most beautiful story and goes deep into every charachter with a cinematic perspective (its the strongest part of the game) and makes other arkham games more meaningful. I don't think other Batman games introduced charachters good enoguh compare to this one. You really feel Gotham in this game atmosphere is way better feeling chrishtmas and Gotham's darkness in the same time and seeing what kind of a shit hole Gotham is those rotten cops, mobs and people who doesn't stand up because they're scared and then Batman comes and becomes a symbol something encourages people to stand up, something againts corruption. But the part I loved most is how this games shows charachters I mean we've never seen gordon, alfred, bane and joker this deep in other arkham games. You also understand why Joker obsessive about Batman explains their relation and seeing criminals origins. Cinematic cuts and soundtrack are amazing gets me everytime and younger Batman was a good choice best Arkham game ever (Knight might be better).

    Never understood the hate, I thought the story was rather good. I once heard someone that didn't like it say there's nothing wrong with the story, story is what matters dangit. It's not like the gameplay is too different than Asylum & City, just the gliding on Arkham Island. Also the grappler accelerator is different than the grappler boost, the bost is actually faster than the accelerator. Most of the bugs were patched, and if they'd remaster it I'm sure they'd patch more

The boss fights were a lot better and the crime investigations and the batcave, not to mention showing Alfred as a character, were a first for the series. The DLC was better than the other games. I loved playing as Batman when the cops were still out to get him. Very much Batman Begins feeling. It felt to me, like the most BATMAN of the series.

    Borrowed Origins this very month and played the hell out of it. Just finished Arkham City this year. I love Origins' story, definitely my favorite of the 3 I've played. Such great moments: dissecting the Joker/Black Mask crime scene, the incredible Royal Hotel level, Joker meeting Harley Quinn for the first time, the evolution of Alfred's acceptance of Bruce's decision to be Batman--not just that it's something he has to do for himself, but something he has to do for the world. These are class act moments that bring to mind all the emotions I've felt from a lifetime of being an incurable Batfan. I'm thrilled to find out WB Montreal is gonna give the series another go
