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.

[@OODLESMCBOODELS]

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

[@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.

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.

[@DH_Artist]

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.

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.

[@Luke-xi2pq]

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...

[@TheKing-ve7lz]

I never understood why anyone hated this game. It's amazing

[@zamirewilson7424]

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. 😊😊

[@TheKing-ve7lz]

Zamire Wilson The gadgets made no sense witch did bug me a bit but other than that the games just really fun. Also this will probably sound strange but I actually liked the multiplayer (before it was overun with hackers) and used to play it a lot with one of my friends

[@normansmith9009]

@@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?

[@Hiramekiza]

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.

[@nahte123456]

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.

[@johnsantisteban7362]

I agree. This game is criminally underrated and gets way too much hate

[@DeutscherDummer]

It had some issues, but also some of my favourite bossfights out of the entire series and was not a much worse game than the predecessors, imo. Arkham Knight on the other hand... I liked the main story. That's about it for that one :P

[@TheXboxCreeper]

I agree as well

[@Ok-eg8dg]

@@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]

@@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.

[@Ok-eg8dg]

@@DeutscherDummer well Jason was Bruces adopted son, Not friend. That makes it worse for him. All robins are his sons, whether adopted or not. Except the real son is a dickhead lol. 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

[@krisisgod666]

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.

[@expendableindigo9639]

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.)

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

[@MusicVersa]

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.

[@theposhgoblin4270]

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)

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]

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.

@TheCompletionist: I love this review, the rhyme scheme was great! So to you, I congratulate, I too love the plot, there's not doubt about that, 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 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.

[@mikeymod3665]

It's the exact opposite for me. Personally, I like all the Arkham games, just some more than others.

[@hypenerd6062]

yea i agree i got sick of the batmobile at some point cause of its overuse and a very disappointing boss fight

[@jasethomas1]

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.

[@mattschroeder3432]

[@space_racc]

Arkham origins was criminally underrated imo even the multiplayer was super fun to me

[@DogoHalibar]

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?!"

[@jamessturrs8550]

My dude Batman is the sequel to hey you pikachu we didn't know we needed.

[@TheHorrorShowChannel]

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.

[@michaelschwartz8730]

I can't say enough how much I love that your first example of a bad franchise entry was Other M. Bravo, bravi...bravissimi!

[@haydenelse2502]

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

[@bandicootsauce4569]

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!"

[@punkwhalegaming4052]

I haven't played the game, but those Deathstroke sequences look so nicely choreographed, or whatever that's called in gaming.

[@fearthepointman3134]

This was a spectacular game, i enjoyed many parts just as much if not more than city. Great episode!

[@baruksrivastava]

The only thing I remember about this game is the part where u beat the absolute shit out of the Joker by spamming x.

[@DiegoHPanay]

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.

[@jimmyz2684]

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...

[@WillJordan3]

I've been waiting for this for so long

[@retrograde7156]

8:16 and 16:33 what is the theme you used there?

[@WH250398]

This is my favorite Arkham game batman at Christmas batman returns vibes galore

[@Baked_And_Fried]

Wait until he plays Arkham knight where he has to do ar challenges with 7 other characters

[@lowerclassbrats77]

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?

[@MysteriousJojo]

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.

[@MastermindAXL]

I guarantee that if it were part of the collection and remastered, the game would have been so much better.

[@isaaccoomer1261]

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

[@lorenzogarcia4335]

Yes

[@FarnhamTheDrunk1]

@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...

[@BetterCallSaulYo.]

This entire game is criminally underrated. It will always have a place in my heart

[@jwn5]

Ok that christmas story skit... Was perfect

[@GomerJ]

I remember when that first Deathstroke teaser came out though everyone went bat-shit (pun intended)

[@Amory-wd3ws]

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.

[@pomaimoikeha829]

Love the. Video love the Christmas rhyme

[@hotshotpc]

One of my favorite games of all time in my favorite game franchise of all time. Origins was the first non-kid game I played and it holds so much nostalgia for me. On top of it, it’s just an incredible story and boss fights. I thought RCS and Troy Baker did a great job filling the big shoes of Conroy and Hamill. Plus the holiday vibe, HUD aesthetic, it’s just perfect to me.

[@samcadwallader1561]

was AO anyone else's favourite of the series?

[@ianpg9891]

Sam Cadwallader no. Love the game but no.

[@samcadwallader1561]

[@husk160]

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)

[@DH_Artist]

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.

[@spitmacabre]

An underrated gem..the choice of rogues alone make it my second favorite game in the series.

[@jockovanme544]

Once again, a very solid video.

[@steamboshow606]

"No series is perfect." Donkey Kong Country would beg to differ.

Walt Disney I did it on the PS4 and it ran fine, no idea if Pc is fixed. (Highly doubt it)

[@gamerZANZUS]

@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.
