The first time i fought death stroke i kicked his ass I was 10 at the time he was easy and on new game + still easy i just look for the slow downs in the counter timing sequences
This is a criminally underrated game. And I think it's due in part to it's glitches. The motion captures are probably the best I've seen in all the series. And I think we already know that the boss battles are arguably the best hands down.
Add to the fact that the developers stated they were far more interested in finishing DLC over fixing all of the bugs which turned off even more people. Even after the patch, the game still runs and plays much worse than Arkham City.
I adored this Joker. He was amazing and scary at the same time. I loved how when Harley was talking to him, she misconstrued Jokers words. Joker was basically telling her how he fell in love with Batman all while Harley believes his words are for her. Awesomely done.
Yessss finally! Troy Baker’s turn as the Joker in this is criminally underrated. He captures a young version of Hamill’s Joker perfectly while adding his own bit of unhinged savagery. Pure genius and it’s amazing. Also love the character design, the card suits vest, purple robe, and his face and hairstyle. They hit it out of the park with this Joker.
Exactly. You still felt the wild stallion of anger and thirst for vengeance with Craig. His frustrations of not putting a stop to all the crime sooner and the fact that the police don’t understand that he’s trying to help them. I feel like that’s what Rob Pattinson’s doing with his Batman too, and I’m loving the young Batman story more and more haha
Primarily for the glitches that were mostly patched and the continuity errors. Origins takes place before Asylum but this Batman has stuff that he would've gotten or made after the events of City, like the enhanced detective mode, which was a prototype in Asylum and the grapel boost which was also a prototype in City, along with multiplayer which seemed rather silly since the first 2 were songleplayer only. Now Im sure there's other reasons but these are just some, but I still enjoyed this game and played it again multiple times. 😊😊

@@zamirewilson7424 Gameplay is to me more important than continuity details. If I already worked for the grapnel boost in City, why should I work for it again in Origins?
Because it was bland. At least the opening few hours bored me. Arkham Asylum, City and Knight had problems, but at least they weren't boring. To me, that's a cardinal SIN in games.
I haven't played it, nor am I some sort of big comic fan, but some of the story/character decisions do bother me, like the Shiva fight, Shiva is one of the only characters in the comics to be 100% better fighter then Batman, she may not be as smart but in a straight fight she'd always win, so why isn't her boss fight on par with Deathstroke(who is more fo a Nightwing enemy if I recall but I could be wrong about that). Also you know, meeting all of these people in 1 night. Just saying as a more casual fan some of the decisions bother me, not all of them, like Copperhead being female instead of male like the comics and other media doesn't really bother me because Copperhead is so forgettable in the comics, but others are annoying.

@@DH_Artist That bane was also meant to be in a more realistic world meaning no venom. Just raw strength. Which might be why he felt “off” but he was still well done imo

This is my personal favorite Batman game. Reasons: it’s story is pretty much a one-shot Batman movie with no blatant connection to a sequel (you can play it alone and get a full story compared to the Arkham games). I like boss fights, and this one has the most of the series, granted, lesser fights, but way more of them. It’s Christmas themed, making it a great festive time for everyone. Lastly, it’s basically the size and scope of Arkham city, which I say probably has the best size for a game world without it being too big.
How it more standalone than the other Arkham games? (except for maybe Knight since that relies on you knowing Batman's allies, how Joker died and Red Hood kinda switches sides suddenly at the end.)
It's amazing that the only glitch I ever encountered in ANY arkham game was if I knocked them out and they warped into the wall or floor, and that's it. Also, FINALLY someone does origins justice! It was my first arkham game and I loved it. It was its job to bridge the gap between city and knight and it greatly succeeded and I'm glad somebody else agrees.
For me personally, my only glitch was oddly in City, when I was trying to perform a vertical dive for one of the physical riddler challenges and I fell through the map and went beneath it in some weird blank white area,I was lucky that the game has a great checkpoint system though :)! Other than that, I did also have frame rate troubles with Origins, but we all know it had kind of a glitchy launch...
I have watched that video and am quite surprised to hear you say this. I love this game but was fine with the fact that you didn't enjoy it as much as the others. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I'm glad you seem to have changed your stance a bit. How would you rank it now? 🤔🤔🤔
I got this free on PC after the Arkham Knight on PC debacle back in 2015. Really enjoyed it. Story was interesting and they tried some new mechanics for solving crimes. Not everything worked but was a solid game overall.
@Димитър Чуботаров I hated the tank, until I finished the game and realized I could change the Controls.. After that the controls was smooth and the tank stuff became fun.. They did go overboard with the amount of missions it was needed in though.. But all in all better than origins.. It bugged out on me twice so I never finished it
Knight was a mess. The tank stuff was terrible and way too prevalent, the story was incredibly obvious, and they completely screwed up the predator stuff. Other than the bugs (I played the WiiU version at launch and it was the buggiest console game I've ever played) I loved Origins. I'd rank the Arkham games City > Origins > Asylum > Knight. Knight's the only one I probably won't ever play again.
I loved this game. Yea it wasn't the strongest in the series. But the story was awesome, combat remained solid and I actually enjoyed the few handful of hours I spent online.
You know what else is a prequel to an action series starring a big buff dude who beats up criminals and a crazy guy who’s voiced by Mark Hamill in the dub that takes place entirely in one city with tons of collectibles and side quests? Yakuza 0. You should complete that game, just a suggestion. By the way Arkham Origins is good and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees.
@@BushBabyL Sure they didn't develop Origins, but as I recalled when Rocksteady told Paul Dini they were not going to work with him anymore after Arkham City (which explains a lot about Arkham Knight at least), they said they were going to use their own writers for the franchise.
@@BushBabyL who cares if WII took out MP. smart move. like you said, it sucked. it was never needed anyway. and if you think you'd get DLC on the WII U from a AAA game, you' need to be in a nuthouse.
The lack of polish in Origins is present throughout with its constant glitches, boring environments, rehashed ideas from Arkham City and very repetitive gameplay with little variation. I dare say it’s about as boring as Arkham Knight in terms of narrative and pacing.
You're not alone, my dude, I think a lot of people give Origins a hard time for its lack of originality and poor release state, but most of us still enjoyed it as a true Batman Arkham experience :)!
One of my favorite lines 😂😂 he sounds like a goth teen tryna be all serious and stuff and their parents are making fun of them. Still one of the best lines.
DetectiveBobbyFulbright TheSpiritofJUSTICE I felt the same at first, but after a while I warmed up to Troy’s performance of a young joker. Mark will always be the true joker in my heart but props to Troy!
the reason i couldnt play the game was cause i thought both batman AND joker sound like shit... and no, i cannot get used to hating something. and its not because its not mark hamill. in "the dark knight returns" both batman and joker have different voice actors, and they are both fantastic. not in origins though
Those Dark Knight challenges honestly stuck with me through the rest of my time playing Arkham games and I always found myself doing as much variety as possible in combat and predator encounters without thinking about it.
I disagree; Asylum is a tight little package, there's no excess, nothing that doesn't need to be there to weight it down. Knight is heavy and clunky by comparison, every other section being "go fast in the Batmobile, go fast in the Batmobile, blow stiff up in the Batmobile" or my personal favourite "be stealthy (???) in the batmobile" Knight also relays way to heavily on the big story reveal of who Arkham Knight is, when there is nothing in the preceding Arkham games to justify his inclusion as such a major plot point that would affect Bats the way it does; the pathos for that only exists in having any knowledge of Batman outside of the Arkham universe, if all you knew about Batman was Arkham then there's no reason to care about the fact that Arkham Knight is Joe Bloggs (in case anyone hasn't played it)
Remington Steele asylum is my favourite, best atmosphere, really gives u the feeling of being Gotham’s only hope and sure he gameplay is improved on in the other games but this one had an atmosphere no movie or other game gives me
@@L33PL4Y It wasn't even implemented. There were numerous issues with it, it would destroy framerate on all platforms and it didn't interact with the world properly.
I don't like Asylum for some reason. I really don't know why. I think I dislike the fact everything is so closed off; the linear design makes me go "No... No I don'f want to go there again!" Look at it this way: In Asylum I didn't like the world and gameplay enough to complete the Riddler quest. In City, I liked the world and gameplay enough to collect the 400 trophies needed to finish the Riddler mission.
I absolutely loved the Deathstroke boss fight. That’s my favorite boss fight ever. But when I look back on it, it’s a lot easier than I remember it being lol
Very well done video! I liked this game for the animation, tone, cool cut scenes, and voice acting. You perfectly voiced all of my negatives that I felt while playing over and over again. Keep it up!
This game is very underrated. Yes, it may be the weakest of the Arkham series, but there is SO much great stuff in this game. AND it has the best boss battles in the series.😁👍
I just wish that more people played the online of this game, it was a blast for me, and so much fun while it lasted! By the time I finished the main story, nobody was playing online anymore, so I didn't experience much of it. As for the main game, it was a blast too! Went in with low expectations, and it felt like an expansion to Rocksteady's trilogy. The bar was set way too high, because the game would need to be a masterpeice to reach it. But it was still really good! It did have a few problems, but it defintely leaves you feeling content. I remember on my new game plus playthrough, my friend called me while I was playing, and he was literally at the same point of the game that I was at, except his game's objective marker bugged out. So over the phone, I had to give my friend instructions on where to put Batman on the map, constantly asking my friend what his surroundings look like, as if I was giving him driving instructions.
By the time you finished? Online was broken from the start. Depending when you played, it may have had less people, but the servers were some of the worst I've seen. My earliest online Trophy is listed exactly one week after the game released and even then you were looking at about 20 minutes to an hour just to get one lobby matched with enough people to start it up. Most of my online Trophies though were achieved about seven months later. The last few I had I scrounged up in early 2016 by using a boosting thread since by then I think it was just too near impossible to find a match legitimately; plus, those last couple Trophies were hard as shit. Maybe if servers worked from the start, I could have gotten them without needing to boost since I would have been able to get multiple matches in within the time it took just to find one.
I got this game when it came out and wasn’t disappointed. In fact I prefer origins over knight. I’ve been defending this game for years now. I 100% this game and I was even able to enjoy the multiplayer (as much as one could). I played it with a friend and we got selected to be Batman and Robin. He kept getting gunned down as Batman while I freaking took out both teams as Robin. He told me that I wasn’t Robin that game but that I had gone full nightwing. Now the rumors that this team will be making a court of owls sequel has me excited.
I actually enjoyed origins. FAR FAR more then knight at least. Arkham knight was one of those games that had good ideas, in theory, but execution wise it turned into a dreadfully boring grind fest.
I actually disagree. Knight was my favorite of the series by far. It was the only game in the series I went and got full 200% completion in. I thought they had perfected the gameplay to a tea, and I loved the Batmobile. I thought the story was great too, although City's story was better.
Death stroke boss fight was one of the best in the series no 🧢 it took me around 7 hours to beat. Not the same day . Batman Arkham origins is great and I love it more than asylum. The story was amazing the ending was fun multiplayer was surprisingly good and fun
My favourite thing used to be using the remote claw to hang and drop every thug from the same gargoyle, so you'd end up with a huge pile of bodies in the same place. Ahh, the memories...
15:08 Let's see... How many Sonic-related Batman jokes can I make? "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop Batman!" "Hey, Joker! You're too slow!" "Because I'm SONIC!" "Ah, Robin! Long time no see!" "SnooPING AS usual, I see, Batman!"
I love the game even when I failed predator challenges and had to do it all again. I was killed by Firefly and started the game again. Got all the trophies and Deathstroke fight is epic.
At least they consider it canon. They make a lot of references to the story in Knight, like Deathstroke and Firefly mentioning their fights. Way better than just completely ignoring that it happened.
@Idiotic Tirades yes, it actually is a very legitimate reason. they didnt make it, so they dont include it in their collection. i dont know where u got the idea rocksteady has disdain for it though...
Forgive me father, for I have sinned, I like Arkham knight, (it was the first Batman game I played tho, than I got the return to Arkham games, still haven’t played origins tho)
A tradition I have had since Batman Arkham Knight released was playing all the games every Christmas in one sitting 100% story + side missions. Also I miss the multiplayer mode. I wish it was on next gen (unless it is again but not sure gonna have to check again).
After watching this, I head-canoned that the detective mode introduced in Origins was phased out as Batman became more experienced with crime scene analysis and came up with more efficient devices with which to conduct investigations.
It would've been so interesting to introduce a new game mechanic that let you play as Batman at night and Bruce Wayne at day. It would've fleshed out both sides of the character, and finally some daylight in Gotham.
SteamboShow I played dkc on the snes, and it's in my top 3 games of all time. Didn't play the other two, should I get them? I heard they were good, but better than dkc?? Idk man, dkc is amazing...
I'm sort of a new Batman fan, only got interested in the franchise about a year or so ago, so all of the games already were released when I showed interest in playing them. So, I decided to play them in chronological order, not by first released to last. Obviously that meant Origins was the first one I played through (I played about the first five minutes of City, but turned it off when I realized two of the games took place before that one) And I can honestly say I enjoyed Origins more than the others. Maybe it was unfair for me to play them in the order I did; since Asylum was the first in the series to be made, and I played Origins, the third, before it, Asylum felt small and empty to me with the lack of mechanics that I was introduced to in Origins. But I understand it was the first, so I forgave it quickly. And while I agree Asylum had the best overall feel due to the creepy and run down institution, I still love Origins the most. It was my first Batman game, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Gameplay wise, it wasn't as fun as Knight or even City, I really enjoyed the boss fights and side missions. The inclusion of the crime scene investigations was amazing, and I was sad to learn it wasn't in the previous two games, but I was happy to see it return in Knight. One thing that always felt off about Origins though, was enemy placement. In Asylum it made sense that criminals roamed the halls and the outside of the grounds. They were patients recruited to help stop you. In city criminals were everywhere, they were prisoners. Even in Knight criminals would either be part of riots, drive around in cars, or just casually walk down the street. But in Origins, they kind of just stand in specific locations and do nothing. Like there's just a group of SWAT officers standing outside the GCPD for some reason, rather than actually patrolling the city. Now that I think about it, there's a surprising lack of police presence in Gotham on the night Origins takes place. It's been a while since I've played it, so maybe there's a good reason, but as far as I know, the city was just on mandatory curfew due to criminals. At least in Knight, the entire place was overran with extremely dangerous characters, so it makes more sense that a police car was few and far between. My point to that long ramble is that Origin's NPCs are placed in the most random areas, and there's no real reason for it. They aren't robbing stores, stealing cars, or really doing anything. They just stand there and wait for you to show up. But overall it'll still always be my favorite of the series. The passive music that plays in the background when you're just flying around Gotham is haunting, but in a good way.
This is exactly what happened to me I played origins first and I honestly couldn't play a game where I couldn't use the grapple gun to fly around so I only played a few hours of asylum and moved on to city am currently on it
There were a few different 'crime in progress' scenarios where you can come to the aid of GCPD officers, as well as those where they end up in fights strictly because they're corrupt.
Origins IS my least favorite of the series BUT is amazing. I actually put more time into this one than any others in the series. I really hope WB Montreal continues to make super hero games.
@Walt Disney The PC version is stable enough to play, they added back the missing gfx and improved the framerate considerably , it still drops/hitches for me rarely, but it's not enough to detract from the experience.
Hi, one year late. While sad, it makes sense why Origins wasn’t put in the Return to Arkham. Rocksteady made Asylum and City, but WB Games Montreal made Origins. Since it’s not Rocksteady’s game, they didn’t want to be responsible for cleaning it up like they did with Asylum and City
Two questions: 1- You gave it a "complete it" even though you just said it's a tiring grind fest? and 2- Are you running this game at maximum graphical specs? I remember it being prettier. Also, there were more graphical glitches in this video than I recall seeing when I played. (like the Mad Hatter leg going through his coat)
The Arkham games are the best! Is it possible that you will review Arkham Knight next, Jirard...? I hope you eventually will, as it will complete all of your reviews of this phenomenal franchise, although my personal struggle to platinum Knight took awhile I know you can still do it :)!!!
This is actually my favorite game in the series and in my opinion the second best in terms of actual quality (best being City) I wish It would actually appear in the Arkham game collections cause i wanna play it on current consoles. Not to mention the Carol of the bells rendition on the main Menu is beautiful.
It took me a long time to appreciate Origins because I was so bitter at the change in timing in combat responses. But that carol of the bells came on over my playlist one day and it made me replay it, and I just completely changed my opinion of the game.
I have a fairly fond memory of this game. I never actually played any of the Arkham games, but my younger brother picked them up and started playing. He absolutely loved them, and played them all the time. When he finally got to the deathstroke fight, I had an older brother moment I thought had passed. He asked me to beat the boss for him. (I somehow did it, with that fight being my only experience with the game still)
SUPER late to the party but on a bit of a Completionist binge and the brief "I know what I said" joke at basically 20 minutes is just exemplary of why I am digging the hell out of this dude.

I wish it was an actual fight. Too bad it was just wasted opportunity. But the rest of the game is great.

How it more standalone than the other Arkham games? (except for maybe Knight since that relies on you knowing Batman's allies, how Joker died and Red Hood kinda switches sides suddenly at the end.)
@COOLMCDEN 219 I guess, but I doubt someone going through it would even care that much.
Origins was twice as big as City.
@@ginge641 and it's twice as boring for that.
@@CayeDaws Not exactly, but the map does have an emptiness problem.
It's amazing that the only glitch I ever encountered in ANY arkham game was if I knocked them out and they warped into the wall or floor, and that's it. Also, FINALLY someone does origins justice! It was my first arkham game and I loved it. It was its job to bridge the gap between city and knight and it greatly succeeded and I'm glad somebody else agrees.
For me personally, my only glitch was oddly in City, when I was trying to perform a vertical dive for one of the physical riddler challenges and I fell through the map and went beneath it in some weird blank white area,I was lucky that the game has a great checkpoint system though :)! Other than that, I did also have frame rate troubles with Origins, but we all know it had kind of a glitchy launch...
Honestly, I loved this game. Not sure why people hate it.

I made a video where I ranked all the Arkham games and I still regret placing Origins at the bottom of my list.
I have watched that video and am quite surprised to hear you say this. I love this game but was fine with the fact that you didn't enjoy it as much as the others. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I'm glad you seem to have changed your stance a bit. How would you rank it now? 🤔🤔🤔

Eh honestly it was better than Knight.
I got this free on PC after the Arkham Knight on PC debacle back in 2015. Really enjoyed it. Story was interesting and they tried some new mechanics for solving crimes. Not everything worked but was a solid game overall.
I honestly enjoyed Origins more than knight. The rogues gallery was far better and the multiplayer was fun af.
Chris Toro That’s because origins mops the floor with knight in everything , boss fights , story, the only thing knight upgraded was the combat
@Димитър Чуботаров I like Origins but City is still my favorite
Nah I think Arkham Knight was better. Gameplay and world were much better. Scarecrow was a better villain than anything in Origins.
@Димитър Чуботаров I hated the tank, until I finished the game and realized I could change the Controls.. After that the controls was smooth and the tank stuff became fun.. They did go overboard with the amount of missions it was needed in though.. But all in all better than origins.. It bugged out on me twice so I never finished it
Knight was a mess. The tank stuff was terrible and way too prevalent, the story was incredibly obvious, and they completely screwed up the predator stuff. Other than the bugs (I played the WiiU version at launch and it was the buggiest console game I've ever played) I loved Origins. I'd rank the Arkham games City > Origins > Asylum > Knight. Knight's the only one I probably won't ever play again.
I loved this game. Yea it wasn't the strongest in the series. But the story was awesome, combat remained solid and I actually enjoyed the few handful of hours I spent online.
I was genuinely impressed by that expository Christmas rhyme
Oh right, Blackgate.
Yeah, you're gonna have to do the 3DS Arkham game Jirard.
Blackgate was better than Origins
At least that's how I remember it I seem to remember really liking Blackgate
Hello, Tony "Alucard" S :-)
Excuse me what
Fuck you
You know what else is a prequel to an action series starring a big buff dude who beats up criminals and a crazy guy who’s voiced by Mark Hamill in the dub that takes place entirely in one city with tons of collectibles and side quests? Yakuza 0. You should complete that game, just a suggestion.
By the way Arkham Origins is good and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees.
BushBabyOmega I’m not fully aware of what happened to that version apart from the Mr. Freeze DLC getting cancelled
It's a lazy sequel. And the story sucks major ass...I like the Joker as much as the next guy but holy cow Rocksteady needs to let the guy go.
@@BushBabyL Sure they didn't develop Origins, but as I recalled when Rocksteady told Paul Dini they were not going to work with him anymore after Arkham City (which explains a lot about Arkham Knight at least), they said they were going to use their own writers for the franchise.
@@BushBabyL who cares if WII took out MP. smart move. like you said, it sucked. it was never needed anyway. and if you think you'd get DLC on the WII U from a AAA game, you' need to be in a nuthouse.
The lack of polish in Origins is present throughout with its constant glitches, boring environments, rehashed ideas from Arkham City and very repetitive gameplay with little variation. I dare say it’s about as boring as Arkham Knight in terms of narrative and pacing.
I know I'm in the minority but I dug this game. The Joker singing at the end was worth the price of admission alone
yeah but he sings at the end of City too
Who'd have thought Mark Hamill could sing?
@@tomstonemale Yeah but the one at the end of Origins is much better and fitting of his perception of Batman and their relationship.
You're not alone, my dude, I think a lot of people give Origins a hard time for its lack of originality and poor release state, but most of us still enjoyed it as a true Batman Arkham experience :)!

Glad to see this game getting a little bit of love.
It deserves it, imo!
I know lots of people dislike Arkham Origins but I honestly enjoyed it!!! But my only complaint was the lack of Mark Hamill....
DetectiveBobbyFulbright TheSpiritofJUSTICE I felt the same at first, but after a while I warmed up to Troy’s performance of a young joker. Mark will always be the true joker in my heart but props to Troy!
the reason i couldnt play the game was cause i thought both batman AND joker sound like shit... and no, i cannot get used to hating something. and its not because its not mark hamill. in "the dark knight returns" both batman and joker have different voice actors, and they are both fantastic. not in origins though
@@FarnhamTheDrunk1 can't say much for troy but Roger Craig Smith did excellent at a young batman who thinks he's an unstoppable force
Those Dark Knight challenges honestly stuck with me through the rest of my time playing Arkham games and I always found myself doing as much variety as possible in combat and predator encounters without thinking about it.
Wait, that's Roger Craig Smith?
_Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn._

How the turn tables
Never got the hate on this game; yeah, it isn't quite as polished as Asylum or City... but I'll take Origins over Knight any day of the week
Tim Parker eh idk gameplay wise Knight is better if you take away the bat mobile that is
Origins is still the weakest
I disagree; Asylum is a tight little package, there's no excess, nothing that doesn't need to be there to weight it down. Knight is heavy and clunky by comparison, every other section being "go fast in the Batmobile, go fast in the Batmobile, blow stiff up in the Batmobile" or my personal favourite "be stealthy (???) in the batmobile" Knight also relays way to heavily on the big story reveal of who Arkham Knight is, when there is nothing in the preceding Arkham games to justify his inclusion as such a major plot point that would affect Bats the way it does; the pathos for that only exists in having any knowledge of Batman outside of the Arkham universe, if all you knew about Batman was Arkham then there's no reason to care about the fact that Arkham Knight is Joe Bloggs (in case anyone hasn't played it)
Remington Steele asylum is my favourite, best atmosphere, really gives u the feeling of being Gotham’s only hope and sure he gameplay is improved on in the other games but this one had an atmosphere no movie or other game gives me

That would be my order
I don't like Asylum for some reason. I really don't know why. I think I dislike the fact everything is so closed off; the linear design makes me go "No... No I don'f want to go there again!"
Look at it this way:
In Asylum I didn't like the world and gameplay enough to complete the Riddler quest.
In City, I liked the world and gameplay enough to collect the 400 trophies needed to finish the Riddler mission.
I Like Arkham knight the best just because the looks of the game and Playable characters but Asylum is second just for how fun it is
That Donkey Kong Theme on the background is just epic!
I absolutely loved the Deathstroke boss fight. That’s my favorite boss fight ever. But when I look back on it, it’s a lot easier than I remember it being lol
Very well done video! I liked this game for the animation, tone, cool cut scenes, and voice acting. You perfectly voiced all of my negatives that I felt while playing over and over again. Keep it up!
This game is very underrated. Yes, it may be the weakest of the Arkham series, but there is SO much great stuff in this game. AND it has the best boss battles in the series.😁👍
Personally I love origins, I love all of the arkham franchise
I loved origins. Glad you did this episode.
City
Knight
Origins
Asylum
Asylum- is better than origins and knight imo but i gotta have my city free roam
Can't believe you completed the full solo game and multiplayer part aswell, well done !
i accidentally clicked this thinking it was boundary break 😂 still watched the whole thing good episode!
I just wish that more people played the online of this game, it was a blast for me, and so much fun while it lasted!
By the time I finished the main story, nobody was playing online anymore, so I didn't experience much of it.
As for the main game, it was a blast too! Went in with low expectations, and it felt like an expansion to Rocksteady's trilogy. The bar was set way too high, because the game would need to be a masterpeice to reach it. But it was still really good!
It did have a few problems, but it defintely leaves you feeling content.
I remember on my new game plus playthrough, my friend called me while I was playing, and he was literally at the same point of the game that I was at, except his game's objective marker bugged out. So over the phone, I had to give my friend instructions on where to put Batman on the map, constantly asking my friend what his surroundings look like, as if I was giving him driving instructions.
By the time you finished? Online was broken from the start. Depending when you played, it may have had less people, but the servers were some of the worst I've seen. My earliest online Trophy is listed exactly one week after the game released and even then you were looking at about 20 minutes to an hour just to get one lobby matched with enough people to start it up. Most of my online Trophies though were achieved about seven months later. The last few I had I scrounged up in early 2016 by using a boosting thread since by then I think it was just too near impossible to find a match legitimately; plus, those last couple Trophies were hard as shit. Maybe if servers worked from the start, I could have gotten them without needing to boost since I would have been able to get multiple matches in within the time it took just to find one.
I see Jirard more akin to the Adam West Batman
So a straightfaced, no-nonsense man of principle and logic in a manic bubblegum world of campy, psychedelic insanity?
Sure, why not.
This game really makes you FEEL like Batman
Yeah, if Batman skipped out on training when learning how to counter attacks or grab crates in the air.
No, it made me feel like I was playing a glitchy piece of shit.
You feel like a dunkey fan
I got this game when it came out and wasn’t disappointed. In fact I prefer origins over knight. I’ve been defending this game for years now. I 100% this game and I was even able to enjoy the multiplayer (as much as one could). I played it with a friend and we got selected to be Batman and Robin. He kept getting gunned down as Batman while I freaking took out both teams as Robin. He told me that I wasn’t Robin that game but that I had gone full nightwing. Now the rumors that this team will be making a court of owls sequel has me excited.
Arkham origins was criminally underrated imo even the multiplayer was super fun to me
I actually enjoyed origins. FAR FAR more then knight at least. Arkham knight was one of those games that had good ideas, in theory, but execution wise it turned into a dreadfully boring grind fest.
It's the exact opposite for me. Personally, I like all the Arkham games, just some more than others.
yea i agree i got sick of the batmobile at some point cause of its overuse and a very disappointing boss fight
@@hypenerd6062 Tank fights as boss battles for a Batman game. Lol Rocksteady went way off the mark.
@@Wol1427 especially after the great boss fight in origins
I actually disagree. Knight was my favorite of the series by far. It was the only game in the series I went and got full 200% completion in. I thought they had perfected the gameplay to a tea, and I loved the Batmobile. I thought the story was great too, although City's story was better.
Death stroke boss fight was one of the best in the series no 🧢 it took me around 7 hours to beat. Not the same day . Batman Arkham origins is great and I love it more than asylum. The story was amazing the ending was fun multiplayer was surprisingly good and fun
Roger Craig Smith also voiced for the Legendary Assassin, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze!
Arkham Orgins is actually my favorite Arkham game in the entire series
My favourite thing used to be using the remote claw to hang and drop every thug from the same gargoyle, so you'd end up with a huge pile of bodies in the same place.
Ahh, the memories...
15:08 Let's see... How many Sonic-related Batman jokes can I make?
"No copyright law in the universe is going to stop Batman!"
"Hey, Joker! You're too slow!"
"Because I'm SONIC!"
"Ah, Robin! Long time no see!"
"SnooPING AS usual, I see, Batman!"
Actually, when I play as Deathstroke, I feel like freaking Achiles. At the end of most fight challenges, I'd cry "Is there no one else?!"
deathstroke boss fight was my favorite of the whole series
Nah that monster Bane boss fight never fails to get my heart pounding
Plus Ultra Man I thought I was the only one...
“Who you’ve got to strip to take them down... I know what I said.”
Jirard you are very funny buddy. I love your videos. Keep it up!
The only thing I remember about this game is the part where u beat the absolute shit out of the Joker by spamming x.
I enjoyed this game waaaaay more than Arkham Knight.
This game was so underrated . I love this game
Origins was the hardest then damn nightmare challenges
My dude Batman is the sequel to hey you pikachu we didn't know we needed.
I love the game even when I failed predator challenges and had to do it all again. I was killed by Firefly and started the game again. Got all the trophies and Deathstroke fight is epic.
Annoys me that Rocksteady has such disdain for this title. Yeah we get it, you didn't make it but is that reason to leave it off the collection?
At least they consider it canon. They make a lot of references to the story in Knight, like Deathstroke and Firefly mentioning their fights. Way better than just completely ignoring that it happened.
I guarantee that if it were part of the collection and remastered, the game would have been so much better.
Why do you think they have disdain for it? It is just some fans that didn't like it
Yes
@Idiotic Tirades
yes, it actually is a very legitimate reason. they didnt make it, so they dont include it in their collection. i dont know where u got the idea rocksteady has disdain for it though...
Forgive me father, for I have sinned, I like Arkham knight, (it was the first Batman game I played tho, than I got the return to Arkham games, still haven’t played origins tho)
You’ll have to get PSNow, a PS3, or if you have Xbox they have some feature for cross play on that, since SOMEONE WONT REMASTER THE GAME.
A tradition I have had since Batman Arkham Knight released was playing all the games every Christmas in one sitting 100% story + side missions. Also I miss the multiplayer mode. I wish it was on next gen (unless it is again but not sure gonna have to check again).
I think the multiplayer 3v3v2 was a great idea. It was very bare bones, but I would have loved to see that expanded.
The way I completed all of the "Dark Knight Challenges" was by repeating the game in "I Am the Knight" and doing the ones I missed.
I remember when that first Deathstroke teaser came out though everyone went bat-shit (pun intended)
This game is sooo good! I really liked it, a lot more than arkhan knight actually lol
GaboBravo I got the least enjoyment out of origins compared to the rest of the series but it’s by no mean a bad game. Wish it also got remastered
Gameplay wise, not even close
After watching this, I head-canoned that the detective mode introduced in Origins was phased out as Batman became more experienced with crime scene analysis and came up with more efficient devices with which to conduct investigations.
I’m a late player and I loved Arkham Origins because it was my first Arkham game
Same here! Hoping to get the rest soon then I can play them in order of the games timeline
was AO anyone else's favourite of the series?
Sam Cadwallader no. Love the game but no.
fair nuf
I love Origins
I love how he casually peruses through this line lol
"Like the armored enforcers who you gotta strip before you beat them down I know what I said."
Wait until he plays Arkham knight where he has to do ar challenges with 7 other characters
It would've been so interesting to introduce a new game mechanic that let you play as Batman at night and Bruce Wayne at day. It would've fleshed out both sides of the character, and finally some daylight in Gotham.
This entire game is criminally underrated. It will always have a place in my heart
"No series is perfect."
Donkey Kong Country would beg to differ.
SteamboShow I played dkc on the snes, and it's in my top 3 games of all time. Didn't play the other two, should I get them? I heard they were good, but better than dkc?? Idk man, dkc is amazing...
If dkc 2 and 3 can improve on the masterpiece that was dkc, I'll gladly get them tbh
I'm sort of a new Batman fan, only got interested in the franchise about a year or so ago, so all of the games already were released when I showed interest in playing them. So, I decided to play them in chronological order, not by first released to last. Obviously that meant Origins was the first one I played through (I played about the first five minutes of City, but turned it off when I realized two of the games took place before that one) And I can honestly say I enjoyed Origins more than the others. Maybe it was unfair for me to play them in the order I did; since Asylum was the first in the series to be made, and I played Origins, the third, before it, Asylum felt small and empty to me with the lack of mechanics that I was introduced to in Origins. But I understand it was the first, so I forgave it quickly. And while I agree Asylum had the best overall feel due to the creepy and run down institution, I still love Origins the most. It was my first Batman game, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Gameplay wise, it wasn't as fun as Knight or even City, I really enjoyed the boss fights and side missions. The inclusion of the crime scene investigations was amazing, and I was sad to learn it wasn't in the previous two games, but I was happy to see it return in Knight. One thing that always felt off about Origins though, was enemy placement. In Asylum it made sense that criminals roamed the halls and the outside of the grounds. They were patients recruited to help stop you. In city criminals were everywhere, they were prisoners. Even in Knight criminals would either be part of riots, drive around in cars, or just casually walk down the street. But in Origins, they kind of just stand in specific locations and do nothing. Like there's just a group of SWAT officers standing outside the GCPD for some reason, rather than actually patrolling the city. Now that I think about it, there's a surprising lack of police presence in Gotham on the night Origins takes place. It's been a while since I've played it, so maybe there's a good reason, but as far as I know, the city was just on mandatory curfew due to criminals. At least in Knight, the entire place was overran with extremely dangerous characters, so it makes more sense that a police car was few and far between. My point to that long ramble is that Origin's NPCs are placed in the most random areas, and there's no real reason for it. They aren't robbing stores, stealing cars, or really doing anything. They just stand there and wait for you to show up. But overall it'll still always be my favorite of the series. The passive music that plays in the background when you're just flying around Gotham is haunting, but in a good way.
This is exactly what happened to me I played origins first and I honestly couldn't play a game where I couldn't use the grapple gun to fly around so I only played a few hours of asylum and moved on to city am currently on it
you know my mate. when you write something like that it is really difficult to read. you have an enter key for a reason.
There were a few different 'crime in progress' scenarios where you can come to the aid of GCPD officers, as well as those where they end up in fights strictly because they're corrupt.

Walt Disney I did it on the PS4 and it ran fine, no idea if Pc is fixed. (Highly doubt it)
@Walt Disney The PC version is stable enough to play, they added back the missing gfx and improved the framerate considerably , it still drops/hitches for me rarely, but it's not enough to detract from the experience.
@@gamerZANZUS As long as they put out the raging bonfire we're good.
I really hoped that Arkham origins was in return to Arkham 😔
Hi, one year late. While sad, it makes sense why Origins wasn’t put in the Return to Arkham. Rocksteady made Asylum and City, but WB Games Montreal made Origins. Since it’s not Rocksteady’s game, they didn’t want to be responsible for cleaning it up like they did with Asylum and City
Two questions: 1- You gave it a "complete it" even though you just said it's a tiring grind fest? and 2- Are you running this game at maximum graphical specs? I remember it being prettier.
Also, there were more graphical glitches in this video than I recall seeing when I played. (like the Mad Hatter leg going through his coat)
The Arkham games are the best! Is it possible that you will review Arkham Knight next, Jirard...? I hope you eventually will, as it will complete all of your reviews of this phenomenal franchise, although my personal struggle to platinum Knight took awhile I know you can still do it :)!!!
An underrated gem..the choice of rogues alone make it my second favorite game in the series.
This is actually my favorite game in the series and in my opinion the second best in terms of actual quality (best being City) I wish It would actually appear in the Arkham game collections cause i wanna play it on current consoles.
Not to mention the Carol of the bells rendition on the main Menu is beautiful.
110% agree
It took me a long time to appreciate Origins because I was so bitter at the change in timing in combat responses. But that carol of the bells came on over my playlist one day and it made me replay it, and I just completely changed my opinion of the game.
this game is amazing enjoyed every second of it
The servers are still around for PlayStation3 too, you know.
I have a fairly fond memory of this game. I never actually played any of the Arkham games, but my younger brother picked them up and started playing. He absolutely loved them, and played them all the time. When he finally got to the deathstroke fight, I had an older brother moment I thought had passed. He asked me to beat the boss for him. (I somehow did it, with that fight being my only experience with the game still)
SUPER late to the party but on a bit of a Completionist binge and the brief "I know what I said" joke at basically 20 minutes is just exemplary of why I am digging the hell out of this dude.
Arkham origins is great
