    Batman Arkham Origins is the third game in the arkham franchise. It brings a stellar detective mode and further enhanced free-flow combat to the table. Batman uses a plethora of new gadgets to help bring down eight assassins aiming to take him out on Christmas Eve. This game brought back the challenge missions from previous games and introduced multiplayer to the franchise.

    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.

  • @RandomBlackGamer

    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.

      @@DeutscherDummer arkhma knight main story was pretty stupid. What was scarecrow motivation? Why was red hood a downgrade from his comic counterpart because since joker is dead and some ppl believe batman did it? Without joker, red hood is useless as a batman story. Not to mention it didn't even say anything about Jason's morals compared to batmans, which was one of the best parts of under the red hood. Not to mention the bad boss battles and overused tank battles

    • @DeutscherDummer
      @DeutscherDummer 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Ok-eg8dg I agree on the second part, those "bossfights" were such a disappointment. But on the first: Well, Scarescrow has as much motivation as the Joker has. He's insane. He is obsessed with fear, and wants to create the perfect fear toxin, to be terror incarnate. He believes that in the end, everyone acts out of fear, and anyone can be made to fear. That's why he wants to break Batman, to show that there is nothing stronger than fear, than his fear toxin.
      Talking about Jason Todd, this was just a different take. It wasn't "Under the Red Hood", just an adaptation into the Arkham Universe. The big gripe Todd had after his "death" was not with the Joker directly, but rather that even though he had been Robin, not just Batmans sidekick, but also a very close friend, Batman was still not willing to kill Joker. Jason died and to him it seemed Batman didn't even care. He didn't kill Joker, he just got a new sidekick. Combined with Jokers torture and the mental conditioning he got from him, his reasons for hating Batman are understandable.
      The story was well done in my opinion, but the pacing wasn't great. The gameplay was more repetetive than ever, and the tank driving wasn't real a big enough change, it just got annoying. Also, that Deathstroke bossfight. HOLY SHIT, they rehashed that boring tank-boss fight from earlier for a fight against the guy who had gotten one of the best bossfights ever in Origins. Still annoys me so much.

But Jason, tho he wasn't under the red hood iteration, he was a huge downgrade from him. He seemed so stupid and had multiple times to kill him but didn't. And he also made an army and spent years planning only to easily let it go. He had no other goals, under the red hood wanted to show batman he is willing to do what bruce won't to those who aren't afraid: kill them. This red hood didn't. It didn't even address that topic that Jason killed. And deathsroke was the biggest downgrade, in origins I was loving that fight and even restarted it at the end cz of how fun and unique it was

    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.

Other than that, I did also have frame rate troubles with Origins, but we all know it had kind of a glitchy launch...

      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. 😊😊

      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.

    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.

      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 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.

      @tytyger626 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 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)

    Assassins gearing up to beat down the bat,
    The combat is fun,
    the performances are stellar,
    The Dark Knight is on the run,
    Exploring the caped crusader's cave-carved cellar,
    He is the terror in the night that uses his fists, not a gun,
    The city is huge and labyrinthian,
    Gliding around until blocked by paths though, that's just stingy man,
    At least there is gear and gadgets abound,
    Evil will not triumph with this guy around,
    With old friends and villains met anew,
    Even pawn enemies that are a match even for you,
    You are the Dark Knight, again and all over,
    Finding new ways of making your enemies say it's game over,
    Deathstroke is a true match, equally skilled and strong,
    An all-out brawl between the bat and the king of killers, let's get it on,
    An enigma so clearly the Riddler,
    The bat is more than a match,
    Defeating puzzles batch by batch,
    In completion of these missions requires a stickler,
    With his shiny favorite suit and controller in hand,
    Against the full game Gerard takes a stand,
    For many years and episodes he has met the demand,
    No game is too long or detailed when in his sight,
    Gerard is the vengeance, Gerard is the night!
    P.S.- I love your work man, I hope you have an awesome holiday ^_^

    I just replayed this game and completed the Dark Knight system over the last week. Very fantastic game with one of the most fun campaigns in the series. It's a lot different tone than Asylum or City but I love how connected you feel to Batman's origin story in this one. Some of the dialogue in this game really sticks with me for some reason, too. The combat definitely feels different to Asylum and City but you can still pull off some really crazy and satisfying moves once you adjust. Predator encounters are fantastic as always and the Remote Claw is one of my favorite gadgets in the entire franchise due to its sheer utility.

      Why do you think they have disdain for it? It is just some fans that didn't like it

      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...

    I think the multiplayer 3v3v2 was a great idea. It was very bare bones, but I would have loved to see that expanded.
