Arkham Origins: To Be Alone on Christmas

Let's talk about Arkham Origins for Christmas. That should be easy, right?
P.S. Sorry if the static sound is a little loud. Audio design is something I intend to improve on a lot in 2021.

I played Origins without knowing people hated and when i find out that people don't like the game i was so confused lol, i loved the game

[@isahamilton01]

Not gonna lie this is the first time I’ve ever seen that people didn’t like Origins. I thought it was absolutely outstanding. Is that why they didn’t put it on the Arkham games collection? I was real disappointed to see it isn’t on there

[@nihil_holly]

@@isahamilton01 There was an air of disappointment upon the game's release. Most criticisms came from how little they changed/improved after Arkham City. Personally, I've always enjoyed it, The reason it's not in the Return to Arkham collection is most likely because it was already on xbox one/ps4, or that it was developed by a different studio.

[@tyleroutland1248]

@@hugocanuto6981 same it's my favorite Arkham game

[@allsmilesguy]

My only real criticism was the open world had far less thought put into it like city did. City had so much personality everywhere you went. Story and gameplay wise origins was great. Probably my favorite iteration of bane. I honestly prefer it over Arkham knight.

I really enjoy your essays and I'm super looking forward to your next planet of the apes analysis so I hope you don't take this the wrong way because I genuinely liked this video but the editing was really annoying. I get what you were going for but the constant "TV Channel Lost signal" effect showing up every five damn seconds was irritating, you were saying some really interesting stuff and having your voice be interrupted every two seconds with a loud and frankly atrocious sound and/or old ads that played for a tad too long, really dragged this awesome essay down.

[@TommyTallNose]

Good video. I may have not lived long, but one thing I've learned in life, is that when it comes to reacting to how evil and cruel the world is, there are two types of people: Those who blame the world, hate on it, and like Joker, couldn't wait until they get the chance to watch it burn. But then there's the other people, who see the same thing, and instead would ask, "What can I do differently?" I'm a history savvy, and when I learned about the history of both the World Wars, it taught me that in the battle of Good vs Evil, nothing allows Evil to win, like refusing to fight it. This is why I don't agree with the belief that Evil is dark, I think Evil is not just bright, it's so insanely bright, people look away from it, many even deny it's existence. Why? Because they know that when they acknowledge the existence of Evil, they have to confront it, and many people choose not to confront Evil. Instead, they choose to be like either Bane or Joker, and let that Evil consume and control them. Why? Because it's easy. Many people make the claim that villains are better than heroes because nobody's perfect, and villains go through the same temptations that heroes do. This is true, but the flaw in that statement is that heroes don't fall for their temptations, villains do. It's easy to be a villain, it takes work to be a hero.

[@gtoyadhatagyab8013]

I just want to let you know, just for the context; I listened to your essays every night recently when I'm about to sleep. Hearing that constant static noises so often just wakes me up every single time, and I can't even focus on your voice anymore because of that. So enough of those static noises dude, it's louder than the rest of the audio, and it's too fucking many.

[@Jaiysful]

Could you please turn down the static transition sound effect? bcs rip my headphone. Otherwise, great vid!

Where’s part 2 and 3 to Planet of the Apes? I just finished watching it and I need my fix on your analysis

[@JYang0602]

Arkham Origins was a great game. The performances of Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker was amazing as the younger Batman and Joker. Bruce’s journey from being Batman alone to becoming THE Batman is done well in my opinion. Origins deserves more credit than it deserves and we need a remastered version of this game on current gen consoles

[@markomilo9580]

one of the most underrated games. im not just saying that, i genuinely love the gameplay and story behind other Arkham's.

[@Zoogismoto]

Man I found you a few weeks ago and your videos never fail to amaze me. You writing is often as good, if not better than the media you talk about.

[@arshgrewal9487]

Great Video Essay 👍

[@ericemanwu]

Of course, if you take a look at the long form story of the Arkhamverse, you can see that there was a little bit of all these paths that were needed to ensure a better future for Gotham. In the beginning, despite the foul measures, Joker and Riddler started tearing down pieces of the corrupt system, giving space for new, better blood to start stepping in. Batman's crusade needed help in order to ensure its better success, so he created the bat family with the host of sidekicks and the greater, more authentic police department. But above all, in order to ensure the forces of Hugo Strange and Scarecrow didn't destroy everything they held dear, they had to maintain what was good in Gotham by holding down the destroyers. And extend that: at the end of arkham knight, batman destroyed the batman to ensure its immortality past Bruce Wayne, seeking to create a new myth to accompany what mayor Gordon could give alongside Robin and Oracle to maintain the new safety brought about by destroying the organized Criminal element the long halloween created. So yes, this view of creation is what eventually became Batman's creed to ensure a better Gotham. But to cement its future, he needed all the other things too.

[@harold3141]

i absolutely loved that games soundtrack especially joker's theme

[@callmev3531]

11:28, 11:38, what a concise way to explain the Joker. Troy Baker’s version stuck out to me as Batman inadvertently creates him just as in the Killing Joke and Batman 1989, which is seemingly why he hired the assassins to kill him. On top of that, before properly meeting Batman, he is far more aimless and self destructive (as a matter of fact, Arkham’s Joker repeatedly brings about his own downfall in the other games (first shooting himself with Titan after saying he’d nothing to live for and then accidentally breaking the vial containing a cure for himself, even when he wanted to live so he could continue playing with Batman). It’s Batman that gave him a reason to live after saving him. It’s Batman that gave him purpose in a world without meaning. In an effort to beat the city’s crime into submission, Batman unleashed one of the biggest monster’s of them all. And as of this specific game’s continuity, he has absolutely no idea of this fact (permitted this isn’t just Joker misremembering his past or making it up in his head).

this was dope at the beginning then it slowly morphed into ur application to juliard

[@afterdinnercreations936]

I saw this as Bruce experiencing a new form of criminality. He had only been fighting thugs and mob-bosses whose goals are after money and power. Violent means to simple ends. In comes the Joker, a criminal who is not motivated by money but by the sheer fun of it and he has no idea how to react to it.

[@bossisin2510]

Riddler should’ve been the villain of the game, with black mask as the secondary, penguin, bane, they could’ve still been side villains as well.
