Would love to see you react to the other 3 Arkham games. The next one is set about 10 years after this one.
Deadshot and Shiva are side missions in this game, and there was a DLC story called Cold Cold Heart. DLC takes place new years I think, but could also be worth checking out.
The recent Playstation Spider-man games could be a fun reaction series as well. They took a lot of inspiration from this batman series
Then it shall be done!!
The gameplay is very open world. Most of the missing assassins are side-missions, Riddler, Shiva, Penguin, Deadshot, etc. A few are DLCs I believe. The game is massive, just like the others in the series. So if you want to play it yourself, there is plenty of content left.
I believe the shots of Batman fighting the Joker at the end that 'took you out of it' were meant to be references to how comic book panels are framed.
That would be it then!
@@kaizammit I honestly loved those shots lol, be sure to react to the Cold, Cold Heart DLC for this game, amazing story and visuals. And yes, you will adore the other games in the Arkham series, surprisingly, this game was regarded as the worst (made by a different developer, and a different cast) but it's my favorite. The release order is Asylum, City, Origins, and Knight. Ignore SSKTJL (Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League) it's the Halo 5 of Batman stuff.
And if you want the ultimate batman experience, I'd suggest playing Arkham knight, instead of just watching it
Deathstroke is who Marvel based Deadpool off of down to their powersets, occupation and name (Slade Wilson: Wade Wilson). Deathstroke is more on the villainous side though, and is an archenemy to the Teen Titans, especially Robin (Dick Grayson). His boss fight in this game is regarded as one of the best in the entire series.
It was fantastic! Felt like you were really in there playing.
Always thought this was an underrated game. I love Roger Craig Smith’s portrayal of a younger Batman. There’s some dialogue between Batman and Alfred Galway through the game I can’t wait to see what you have to say about it. I look forward to watching this reaction.
I hope you enjoy the video
Early Batman is a very angry and depressed human being. He's pure "vengeance" here. Later, he becomes more of a hopeful figure too, being someone the police can work with and who regular people see as a hero. When he becomes more calm and sure of himself, that is when he truly becomes a force of nature in Gotham. The anger is great, but a calm Batman that knows he's already won each encounter he gets into, love it.
Also, I agree that they take it way too seriously when people think batman killed someone. Why would Gordon (Who just killed 2 Joker henchmen) give a shit if batman DID kill Bane, when he did it to save him and Warden Joseph?? They did that in the Dark Knight Returns comic/animated movie too. Where batman finally kills Joker after Joker kills like 300 people in 2 days. And the media and police are like "OMG He's a killer, he killed someone! He must be arrested now!"
Like, I agree that normally Batman shouldn't kill and should stick to his gimmick and not want to cross that line. But why in the world would anyone care if he did kill these terrorists, rapists, murderers, and hired assassins?
bane was originally both smart and strong like he's in this game, but in recent media he's been flanderized to be just a meathead who isn't smart. In arkham asylum (the game chronologially after this but released before origins) he was just a meathead so the TN1 was used to explain why he isn't smart anymore
Harley Quinn
The part where you play as the Joker is actually part of the game not DLC. Is explaining one of the most know Joker Origin story. He was a bad comedian that got involve with the mob and had to use the Red Hood helmet to commit a crime but he was not really capable of it, Batman try to stop the crime but made the mistake of dumping Joker into the chemical plant and that how the story of Joker started in one of the old comics.
Or was he 🗿🤔🧐
I'm only 20 minutes in so far, and yes!: you should definitely get more into the batman games for reactions, they are amazing.
I hope you're enjoying the video !
@@kaizammit I most definitely did. I'll be looking forward to the next batman game you cover!
Kevin Conroy was working on Arkham Knight alongside Mark Hamill. Another Studio was working this while Rocksteady developed Knight. He said it somewhere at a con why he wasn't in this game if i'm correct. The characters are younger so it kinda makes sense anyways and Batman being voiced by my fav VO, Roger Craig Smith! This game is highly underrated. 😎🤘🏻
And for Joker I believe they got Troy Baker?
@@scottmemelord6130 yes
Yeah, WB Games Montreal knocked it out of the park with origins. But, they actually developed arkham city armoured edition for the wii u before they did anything with origins
I think this is the most cinematic of all the Batman Arkham games. Not because the others lack cinematic flair, but just because they are focused much more on the in-game moments and keeping the player immersed. This game jumps between in-game and pre-rendered cutscenes, and they can be quite jarring to transition to at times when you’re playing, but my god are they good cinematics! I enjoyed experiencing this one again and getting to appreciate the amount of effort put into the game
7:45 - Nah, that's a different V.A. The "real" Batman voice is Kevin Conroy, the one who passed a couple years ago. I don't recall why he wasn't in this game, but he's in the others at least.
W.B wanted a VA with a more raspy voice to give the “new batman” a young and vengeful voice
I think it also because the Arkham Knight is under development where he's doing the voice over, I think if I remember it correctly someone is asking about Arkham Series or something in which he ask which Arkham game?
Edit: Search for Kevin Conroy explains why Warner Bros forbid him from doing cons video.
He may not have been available for it or they wanted to have a younger voice, but Roger Craig Smith did good and would be my vote for followup Batman stuff
Mark Hamill isn't Joker either which was probably a big factor
@@primary2630 Well, he's reprising the role in Arkham Shadows, so I'd say it worked out in the end
the reason for cutscenes ending for players to make an input just for the inpout to start the cutscene again is so that players are active and feel like they are apart of the story, like when batman got over copperhead's poison and it cuts to gameplay so the player can get the last hit in, even if it makes the hit a cutscene. if the player had no input it would just be a glorified movie and gamers don't by games to just watch cutscenes (unless it's a hideo kojima game but that's the exception not the rule)
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS you finally did it! Best Batman game I've played
Yeah I'm glad he's doing arkham games!
I'm glad he's doing Arkham games too! 🔥💪🏻
If you want to watch the rest, the chronological order is, this game. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City then Arkham Knight. Just so you know in advance.
Also this game was actually the 3rd in the series. It came out in-between City and Knight.
Also the camera is high during most of the fights because you're usually fighting multiple people at a time and the developers wanted you to be able to actually SEE who is hitting you.
@@scottmemelord6130 yeah but this is a "prequel" idk how canon in arkham lore... It bothers me that in none of the playthrough videos they haven't disabled 'counter alerts' and 'silly effects' (like stars and random vfx during gameplay)
@@TheRealBillix It's canon. No idea why this is debated, the original Rocksteady devs have never said it isn't canon. I think people just don't want to like it because it wasn't made by Rocksteady. Honestly people rail on Origins all the time and I have no idea why when it's honestly pretty good.
@@TheRealBillixit’s 100% cannon. Origins is directly mentioned by other characters
@@TheRealBillix cause it's not a big deal
7:53- That would be the late Kevin Conroy, but he didn't do Batman: Arkham Origins as the time period is years before Arkham Asylum even occurs. Roger Craig Smith, - best known for his roles as Sonic the Hedgehog and the best assassin of Assassin's Creed, Ezio Auditore da Firenze -, is the voice of a much younger Batman, though he also did Batman: Ninja and is to reprise his role as the Dark Knight for the upcoming Batman Arkham game.
You definitely need to do the other Arkham games. They are works of art in more ways than one. Use Batman Arkham Videos for the gameplay since he makes sure to get all of the details.
The other games are better games. But cinematically, you don’t beat origins. It’s a Perfect Adaptation of Batman.
This was a very good game. It was just once the "fans" saw it was made by a different studio, different voice cast, different look from the other games. They completely hated it. You know people, if it's different they can't handle it. If I remember right once it came out the haters became silent, but the damage was done. Not for me, I bought the big collector edition on day one.😁
They hated it!? That's crazy, I loved this!
@@kaizammitIt had some baggage when it was announced. The aforementioned VA and studio stuff, plus it was the 3rd installment in the series, but was a prequel. It felt like it risked being a cash grab, but aside from a lingerjng impression of some rough edges, I'd say it worked out well.
Still probably the weakest of the 4 games in the series though.
Well, arkham origins got a lot of mixed reviews back then because of how the map was too similar to arkham city's and how the joker was in the game as the main villain instead of black mask. The map thing wasn't WB montreal's fault, though, because rocksteady let them take the lead on the game while they worked on arkham knight and they didn't want to make too much changes or deal any disrespect towards rocksteady's games.
Awesome Kai! I was hoping at some point you'd cover this! Especially that teaser trailer!
Awesome vid. you will definitely love the others in the franchise. Look forward to seeing you cover them
Thank you! Been waiting for you to watch this, keep up the great content👍
Each Arkham game takes place over the course of one night. But you might need a day or two between covering to recover. You should also give them a shot and play them as well. Maybe on stream?
You defeat dead shot and shiva in side missions, just while roaming the city you meet them. Seeing as you loved the ‘worst’ Batman Arkham game I’m excited for your reaction to the better ones 👍
This is the worst!?!
@@kaizammit the wider community reckons this is comfortably bottom or second from. You will most likely agree after seeing Arkham city and Arkham knight 😁
@@GumCuardian I personally enjoyed Origins as much as City. City has a lot of good qualities, but so do the rest of the games. Asylum is my favorite in overall tone (it's the darkest, and I think DC is at its best when it's dark), but Origins wins against the others on cinematography and sound design (it's the most movie-like / cinematic). I loved Arkham City when growing up, but still, I don't personally understand the overwhelming hype Arkham City gets. The narrative and overall concept is absolutely banger (It's the most worldly of the Arkham games), but I didn't feel like it pushed the other games out of the water in any way. It's not necessarily even my favorite. To me, I feel like each game has its own appeal and niche:
Asylum: Dark atmosphere, Grittiness, nostalgia bonus
City: Overarching Narrative, general worldbuilding, most DC-like, nostalgia bonus
Origins: Tightest experience, Best cinematography and sound design
Knight: Best gameplay / mechanics, most well rounded
Now watch Arkham asylum, then Arkham city, then Arkham Knight! Best comic book adaptation I’ve ever seen! I truly can’t wait for you to see Mark Hamils voice acting as joker in the next game! P.S I love your channel and all your insight into cinematography has been incredibly useful to me!
Hi Kai just wanted to say that might be your magum opus so far- sort of seeing a whole game through and giving details that go beyond the cutscenes and extend into the gameplay. Granted you've done that before a lot, but this was a video where the mix between custcenes, gameplay and storytelling is blended really well but also easy to seperate into different pieces. De-constructing the lighting and how the camera moves from gameplay to the story and so forth, really great analysis!
I also want to say i'm so glad you liked this entry, it's not the first game made in the series- it's a prequel to the series in fact. So it suffers from trying to be different but also trying to feel recognisable, it was made on a lower budget by a different developer and it serves as a stop gap between the penultimate and last entry, so it's here to keep that vested interest.
Now i'm a sucker for underdogs and I went into Arkham Origins not knowing it wasn't a traditional entry into the series and I loved it, the feeling of establishing the characters and the christmas setting. It was able to set up its own stakes and take more risks by not being part of the 'Arkham trilogy' so in turn it had fun with the creative directon and took gambles with the story and gameplay- some elements work and some don't but it feels distinctive among the Arkham games and it stands out because of that. A great story that finds the heartstrings to set up some emotional investment ready for the final installment in the Arkham series.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video . I'm very excited to cover the other games now, absolutely loved this entry.
Thanks for doing what you do much love mate
Thank you for being apart of the community ! I appreciate it.
7:52 it’s not actually, the original voice actor, Kevin Conroy (rip) is the voice actor for Batman in the Rocksteady trilogy, Mark Hamill being the voice actor for the joker in the rocksteady trilogy. Kevin Conroy is the va in the animated shows Ect… as this game Arkham origins was made by a different studio. I definitely recommend covering the other games, the original rocksteady trilogy is as follows;
Batman Arkham Asylum (released on PS3/2009)
Batman Arkham City (released on PS3/2011)
Batman Arkham knight (released on PS4/2015)
Sadly Deadshot and Lady Shiva were side quest fights, which is why they appeared on the TV’s in the meeting.
In terms of DLC, there’s a fun Mister Freeze one that’s pretty cool. Arkham Origins can be played on Xbox, PS3, 360, and PC.
Btw if you want some amazing cinematic game experiences, look up Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Control, and Alan Wake 2.
You won’t regret it.
Noted
I believe the reason people (myself included) didn't like this game at the time was because it wasn't Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill voicing Batman and the Joker. It's still a fun game.
Arkham Origins Batman was voiced by Roger Craig Smith it was controversial at the time of launch as Kevin Conroy is the main voice of batman but Roger smashed the role.
There are several characters that the side missions introduced or wrapped up their story:
Anarchy
Bird (Bane's right hand man)
Black Mask
Deadshot
The Mad Hatter
Penguin
Shiva
and of course Enigma/Riddler
So I've got some content for me to play then, sweet!!
I'm pretty sure his name is spelled anarky.
Mark Hamil did do the voice for the joker in the Batman Arkham series, I don't believe he did all of them but a lot of them, its been awhile since I played the games. @KAI ZAMMIT
He did all the Arkham games except this one, same with Kevin Conroy voicing batman. Mark Hamil famously loved working with Kevin Conroy and always said he's the only Batman to his Joker.
This game released between Arkham City and Arkham Knight, and is the first game in the timeline. It got some fierce criticism on release and is still considered the worst in the series. I think a big part of it was that Alfred’s fake death and Bane discovering Bruce’s identity fell flat because we already knew those things would be undone by the end, so there was no tension. Further, due to events you’ll find out about in Arkham City, people were wanting Arkham Origins to have a character other than Joker be the villain, so Black Mask actually being Joker was disappointing for a lot of people.
24:39 There is actually a DLC for this game called Initiation where you can play as a ninja Bruce Wayne training to become Batman 😂. There aren’t any cutscenes though, so don’t worry, you didn’t miss out on anything. It’s just some Challenge Maps that are pretty fun to play since you have a limited arsenal of gadgets, so you’ll have to plan more.
That sounds amazing! You've basically sold me the game. You're a true salesperson!!
@@kaizammit Always happy to get more people into the Arkham games haha!
I’ve seen many great clips from the Arkham games but never dove into them myself. I’ll probably join you on this journey as well! Haha
After this, I'm in love with the franchise! You'll have to let me know if it has the same effect on you.
Just like Palpatine said to Anakin Skywalker: „Do it!!!“
I Love this Game!! Great Work!
Would be great to see your reaction to the rest of the arkham games
Thanks for more amazing content
Then it shall be done! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video
@kaizammit the video has been great. Your insights to how certain scenes are more cinematic and how ones are better than others are interesting
Love to hear it
yes you should try the others. this game is actually the 3rd in the franchise but obviously takes place at the beginning. the next should be "Arkham Asylum" then "Arkham City" but make sure you do the "Return to Arkham" versions as they are remasters of the originals then you should do "Arkham Knight" and if you want you should cover the DLC's as they have more cutscenes and different perspectives from different characters i.e. Harley Quinn, Robin etc.
much love from Canada ❤️
As a new gamer I bought Batman: Arkham Knight because I thought the gameplay looked the best of the Batman games but these cutscenes are making change my mind.
I'm looking forward to seeing the others and comparing the differences when it comes to creative/cinematography flair.
@@kaizammit Off topic but I'd love to see you watch Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I haven't started it yet but I know that about the first hour of cutscenes/gameplay is wild.
Just to ease your mind the voice of batman is not Kevin Conroy this might say origins but it's not the first arkham asylum is the first
But this voice is roger craig smith who's a talented voice actor his big roles are ezio from assassin's creed and sonic the hedgehog
But for Kevin Conroy he voiced in arkham asylum arkham city and arkham knight
I thought this VO Artist was fantastic!
Arkham origins is by a different studio and the third arkham game by release date (2013).
Arkham asylum is by rocksteady and was released 2009 and it might look dated, so I'm curious how his first impression will be.
Arkham city was released 2011 and went open world, I don't want to reveal more though.
Both asylum and city got new versions on PS4 and Xbox one in 2016, but those are, despite some graphical / tech improvements, worse than their originals - in my opinion.
So I'd suggest footage of the respective original versions from 2009 and 2011.
Arkham knight was released in 2015 and is still to this date a graphical showpiece.
Batman and Joker are voiced by different actors in origins compared to the remaining 3.
Asylum, city and knight are voiced by Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy (rest in peace).
Will you upload part 2 of Asura's Wrath? I can't wait to see it
I'll be recording it soon 🔥✌🏻
@@kaizammit Sweet! thanks for your work, I like your reactions and commentary a lot!
Have you ever watched or played Star Wars The Force Unleashed? Because I think you would love it.
I missed these games so much the only thing I didn't like was they didn't get Kevin Conroy as the voice
If you haven’t seen the metro games I’d highly recommend them.
every batman game gets better and better, arkham knight looks so good, games today can't hold up
I love roger craig smith as batman
The repetition can sometimes be a bit tedious. But can you really call it a boss battle, if the game does not make you repeat a certain game mechanic three times in a row?
Tnx, mate
React to doom eternal scenes
Isn't that the second one? Should I check out the first one... first!?
This game rocks...
Has he seen Batman Dead End from like the beginning of youtube days.
Is that a game? From the name alone, I have not.
It’s really cringe how this guy criticizes parts that “take him out” when it’s the part that plays like a game, scenes that try to make you panic by turning it into gameplay, or just straight cool panels like the end part with Joker.
It’s also funny how he asks questions and is confused about parts while he hasn’t played the game. The two assassins that weren’t shown are side missions that he would’ve known existed had he played the game. If you’re gonna criticize something, at least get the full experience instead of just watching someone play the main story (with a shit ton of cuts too)
Cringe my arse there's a reason I say things in the videos. Most of the gameplay parts didn't take me out of it so if I say something within this scene is taking me out of it (story), it really is.
@@kaizammit It doesn’t matter that “most of the gameplay parts didn’t take me out,” because you’re the one not experiencing the game fully. You quite literally cannot fathom if it would “take you out” because you have not played the game.
If you’re gonna critique a games story like this, then either watch a full long-play, or play the game yourself. You literally missed 5 interesting villains and plot lines because you chose to not play the game yourself.
Also nice job ignoring the second part of my first comment :)
now you gotta see batman arkham knight :D
Will do!
@@kaizammit cheers mate 😁
bro trust me you have to watch the other games i think you would love them after this game is, arkham asylum, arkham city then arkham knight, knight
will blow you away.
Then lets go
3 more games Asylum, City and Knight
Deathstroke is one of my absolute favorite villians which is why I CAN NOT stand deadpool. Thats actually how killer croc is supposed to look like unlike whatever the hell they did in suicide squad. Barbara will eventually become Batgirl
i would love for you to check out the uncharted series or the trailers
Gotcha
7:47 no it's not! RIP Kevin Conroy
You have to do mass effect
Wouldn't I have to make 20+ videos to cover that game? I heard it's massive.
(I haven’t watched all the way through the video yet but if not in this video then, )I hope you react to the trailer of batman Arkham origins, the Batman vs deathstroke trailer! It was sooo good, (Nvm lol)
The opening scene... Banging 🔥🔥
@@kaizammitagreed!
You should check out the God of War series.
First episode coming later this month I hope you enjoy the video ✌🏻
you should check out game called madmax
I actually own this game but never played it 😑. I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@kaizammit good fighting mechanic just like batman, I love the cutscenes
you gotta watch the other games especially arkham knight
react to destiny 2 the final shape cut scenes or anything from destiny 2 in general
Noted 👋🏻
Arkham Batman puts every live action version to shame. Especially Nolan's Batman. I love the films but I hate Nolan's Batman. Those fight scenes were terrible. Everything else was great.
