    The way this game wrote the story of Batman and Joker meeting was so good. Also Joker meeting Harley and she misinterprets him expressing his love for his new found lifelong opponent with talking about her. It’s all just great stuff. The snowy Christmas Gotham is also just awesome. That menu music is so hard.

      I was thinking too, if Warner Brothers and Rocksteady ever wanted to reboot the Arkham series, Roger Craig Smith did a great job as Batman in Origins. So even though we lost Kevin Conroy, who will always be Batman, at least the alternative of Roger Craig Smith is more than capable of giving us an Arkham appropriate Batman.

    If you were wondering, the "kinda orange and blue" cinematic look is actually called "teal and orange" in color correcting vocabulary! A lot of films use it because it's two very harmonious colors that you can find traces of in the human skin (among other things).

    I don't know if it's mentioned in the video but something weird about this game on PC is I don't think you can set the texture quality to max settings from within the game. You have to edit it in the .ini file to actually get the highest quality textures. Which is odd.

    8:59 It's incredible how perfectly John pronounced Montréal he literally said it like a native Québécois. It's crazy because even the anglos in Canada still cannot even pronounce correctly Québec or Montréal. Americans being better as usual in french than the anglos in canuck. Meanwhile, there are a lot of english canadians that moves to Québec to attend schools over there because it's cheaper yet 99% of them are so bad in french compare to the American students or most foreigners if you ask me. That was embarrassing to realise because I was thinking to myself they should be good they always cry about the fact they are ''forced'' to learn french in school until they graduate. Yet it doesn't seem like it.
    I went study in Québec for 2 years, loved the place the Québécois are probably the most welcoming and kind people in Canada. There's a lot of misconception about them and also false informations. As the local says, they call it ''Quebec bashing'' and it's true. There's just a constant smear campaign against them in the english media in Canada. They showed me countless examples.

      My guess is: Most games are developed for console first, then done for PC later. So the games we got with PhysX probably had a Nvidia incentive on the side (money or whatnot) Nvidia got tired of these practices and stop trying to push the tech. Although some games still use PhysX but not at the level we see in these old games.

    You guys had the same experience as me delving back into this title.
    Booting Up: "I don't get why people malign this game. It's underrated. I don't remember anything about it, but I'm sure they were being unfair"
    30 Minutes In: "Yeah, it is kinda mid, actually."

    I just played this game a few months back. On PC as well--which made for the fascinating discovery that this is actually now the most optimised game on PC in the series, at least that I've played. City and Knight both play fine, of course, but City has a wildly unstable framerate that jumps down to the 100 fps mark (from around 165) the moment you move the camera around, and Arkham Knight still suffers when driving the bat mobile around. This game has it's issues performance wise, still, but it's at least fairly consistent.

    Batman Arkham Origins is the quintessential Batman experience. Batman was a detective/vigilante at his base. The adding of detective work in game was what the series needed to complete the franchise's set. Moving forward more detective work is needed and I understand that some people are turned off by any learning curve or what's unfamiliar, but Origins had everything needed to make a Batman game.... Batman.

    Arkham Origins is the undeservingly overlooked title in the Arkham series. I think it's every bit as good as City and comes with better character models(no more Gears of War reject faces) and a deformable snow shader! Also runs fantastically on the Deck.

    Fun Fact: Arkham Knight has no cape physics. An animator spent one and a half years creating over 700 unique cape animations

    sigh, no day one patch, where I got stuck on a ledge. I had to wait for a week till it was patched into accessible, but then later I fell into the world map into endless void.
    OH! It'd be Christmas if it had those bugs! Fun video.

    Not as good as Rocksteady's games, but I enjoyed it. However it was really buggy at launch. I remember I got completely stuck at one point, completely unable to leave a room you were meant to be able to leave via an air duct; grapnel prompt didn't work IIRC.

    • @joelmonteiro1419
      @joelmonteiro1419 Рік тому +3

      Sadly, not just at launch. I played it 3 or 4 years after release and it was still buggy AF. Crashed my 360 several times. The devs refused to fix the game and just moved on.

    • @WllKiedSnake
      @WllKiedSnake Рік тому +1

      ​@joelmonteiro1419 I played the digital version on PS3 and it had issues also. Characters not spawning in I needed to finish 100% the game. Also because it was the digital version lots of hitching and asset streaming issues. I found using a SSD just fixes a lot of the PS3's issues today.

    • @joelmonteiro1419

      @@WllKiedSnake on the 360 I remember a recurring bug loop that was impossible to advance from. I was lucky enough to have kept a save from a couple of hours before it and restarted from there.

    • @WllKiedSnake
      @WllKiedSnake Рік тому +1

      @joelmonteiro1419 Yeah! The game has or had bugs where you can get stuck in certain rooms and you can't advanced the game forward. You have to trick the game to make characters appear also in places. More to do with side quests these odditys show up. At launch the game was a mess! And even the main games story couldn't move forward because of bugs like that. It's much better now. But some bugs do remain and can pop up.

    Man this game was and is so underappreciated. Perhaps one of THE most underappreciated. Forgotten in its own series' collections. Poor WB Montreal, they do good work (I also enjoy Gotham Knights, though mainly for story and character stuff)
    Actually I'm secretly hoping Gotham Knights get re-evaluated a bit if Suicide Squad flops. With how it handles levels and loot while still staying true to characters. Probably not...

    I'm playing with resolution set at 3840x2160p well over 100fps on PC 40 series RTX. The only thing about Origins is the combat feels more tiring in some of the larger fights. Get tired of the input button commands constant countering etc compared to other Arkham games. Idk maybe its been too long for me since playing. But yes I stil have to finish Origins and Arkham Knight. I'm glad I waited for the best version and mods on PC. HD texture pack for Arkham Knight is amazing.
