What's crazy to me is I actively avoided this game up until 2023 when I was replaying every Arkham game back in the honor of the news of the late great Kevin Conroy's death. Just so happened to play every other game, then wanted more so bought Arkham origins and I loved it.

No it is because it was broken. Its a fun game but I don’t like fans rewriting history. The general audience didn’t know or cared who made the game.

People like that are dumb and stupid init? But They can't judge on this game !! Im pretty sure for certain The game would off definitely been made the way how it is now anyway by rocksteady imagine

[@inshal6420]

@@morlife0273 Apparently Rocksteady had a completely different game in mind. From what I’ve been able to gather through the years this was originally a Rocksteady game. WB wanted something in between Arkham City and Knight because Knight would take a long time. Rocksteady’s Arkham Origins would have been a golden age prequel and had appearances from the Justice League. I guess they were taking the Grant Morrison approach when it comes to canon. Rocksteady didn’t think they could manage two games because the studio was so small and suggested someone else make it in early development. The KZbinr Kwing is a great resource for stuff like this. He use to know some devs at the studio and WB. We will never know but I’ve heard the same story being repeated over the years on different websites/groups so there probably is some truth to it. One of the guys shared concept art for Arkham Beyond years before it leaked on the internet so I believe what was being said. Apparently there was also a Superman demo in the works after Arkham City but it was scrapped but they used the destruction technology from it for the Batmobile. I’ve only heard Kwing say this no one else so I don’t believe it as strongly as the golden age prequel stuff. Or this could be all wrong who knows lol. Maybe one day someone will interview Sefton Hill and ask about this.

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

37:42 They’ve been building up to this the entire game. Alfred, several times, tried to get Bruce out of harms way since the beginning of the game. His very first line in the game sets the tone for this. He clearly doesn’t want Bruce to leave. And once the assassins story line kicks off, he prompts Bruce again to stay home. This continues throughout the game until they have this breaking point here. It’s a damn good interaction that was set up well and is the proper breaking point of Bruce’s story arc in this game.

I absolutely love the moment where Batman has to defibrillate Alfred. Logically, you know he can't actually die because he's in City, but the dialogue and Batman's despair really sells the moment in spite of that. I also love how the subtitles refer to Batman instead as "Bruce Wayne" while you're shocking Al. Really goes to show just who he is in that moment, a young man afraid that he's just lost what's left of his family.

Seeing Origins get a new look at nowadays brings me so much joy, I played this game to DEATH back then. I definitely agree with how you like your side quests, a lot of them branch off from the main story. I'd even argue that Anarky fits as much as say Black Mask, as he's literally spawned out of the corruption and greed from Gotham's police force and justice system.

one thing that turned me from hating the deadshot boss to loving it was waiting until later when you get equipment like the glue grenade and improved disruptor to take him on, and also the realization that you can throw batarangs at thugs strung on gargoyles to cut them down and reopen them for inverted takedowns as much as you like also makes it much more enjoyable and easy to take his men down. One last thing is that going up to him for a silent takedown but immediately doing that knockout smash thing does the same ammount of damage as a normal beatdown while also being way quicker. Hope this is like all tangible and im not speaking nonsense ekfdrnkg lol

Watching you take out the whole cop shop at around 22:00 was pretty epic. You're definitely not supposed to do that. This game absolutely rules, story-wise, but the combat is a bit frustrating; it's easy to get hit in the middle of an animation, which I'm pretty sure the others don't allow.

[@inshal6420]

I have a weird relationship with this game. First thing I want to say is this game was not hated because Rocksteady didn’t make it. The general audience does not care. This game was hated because of the broken release and then instead of fixing it they said they were focused on DLC. As for the game itself it was okay but I wish they did more. Some of it felt so lazy. It was a prequel and it had so much potential. I was hoping we got to see a Batman using more analog technology. The detective parts could have been more like LA Noire or even Spider-Man where you are looking for clues. Instead it was just point and click. This Batman was basically the same as the Asylum one. There is no progression in his technology or anything because they couldn’t be asked. The grapple boost is another one. They could have explained that Batman is manually launching himself off roofs but it having too much of a strain on his arm but again they couldn’t be asked. Rocksteady’s Batman was a combination of the Post Crisis Batman and the DCAU Batman. It was colourful and embraced its silly world while this one went more grounded with Batman wearing military armour and everything having a DC 52 vibe. Also the amount of content this game recycles is so distracting. Almost every boss fight in this game recycles something from the ras fight in Arkham City. This game would have benefited by being a more linear game like Arkham Asylum instead of an open world. The developers obviously cared a lot about the character but didn’t have the experience to make an open world like Arkham City. From stuff I have heard online over the years this was originally a Rocksteady golden age game but they initially dropped it because they couldn’t work on this and Knight at the same time. Wonder what that would have been like. I criticized it a lot but it is still a good game. I don’t think it was underrated or anything though. It got around 7/10 which is beyond fair considering how many bugs it had at launch and the amount of recycled content. It was basically a remixed Arkham City. Cool videos enjoying them.

[@Guyinthetie]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment was a good read, 100% agree it would of been cool seeing more older technology but instead we get a far more capable batman then asylum and city. I know that's just down to gameplay but still feels odd

im right there with you with asylum. arkham city does everything that asylum does and does it better minus a few minor aspects. the gameplay in knight is objectively head and shoulders superior to the prior three games. but something about asylum… maybe its the nostalgia, maybe its the setting, maybe its the map, or scarecrows nightmares but its been my favorite game since i was a kid and probably still is.

[@Guyinthetie]

It's a testament to less is more as it will always be my favourite 💪🏻👔

Thank you much 💪🏻👔

Apparently Kevin Conroy spoiled Knight's existence to someone cause he didn't even know about Origins. So when someone asked him how he feels about "the new game" and if he's in it meaning Origins, he answered that he is in it thinking Knight probably was announced by that time even though it wasn't

[@Guyinthetie]

Haha the tom Holland of DC 😅 I love how Hamil was the opposite and kept the joker being back under wraps up till launch

[@RobertReynolds-mg9bb]

You know why origins got hate in 2013 and now gets love? It's because in 2013 games we're still really good. After fans played aa, ac. AnD ak, ppl were left craving more. All the hate it got at first really hurt it at launch.. but once Gotham knight came out, we realized the day of good games was over and ppl gave it a real chance. Ppl finally realized how good of a game it actually is. Other than batmans voice, this game is awesome. It needs to be included in return to arkham. It has Its own vibe. I love each game for different reasons a origins is my favorite. I almost believe rocksteadt should cone out with a prequel to arkham origins. It be based around Bryce Wayne training with the league of assasins, returning to Gotham and being the batman. Rough around the edges, starting out as a ninja, slowly throughout the game becoming more and more like batman through upgrades. I would title it "arkham" Bruce wayne

I recently played this fully for the first time, because just like you I didn't like it back in the day (it also was insanely glitched on release, like, couldn't progress in the story kinda glitched, so that didn't help) I don't think of it as fondly as you do however I think it has some excellent stuff (the Deadstroke fight) but I personally hated the Copperhead fight. Felt too derivative of what had been before. The bridge fight was AWFUL, just do the same thing over and over again. The Bane fight was AWFUL. Do the same thing over and over again. It genuinely just felt jank through and through. I rate it lowest personally. Asylum first, then City, then Knight, then Origins. I put Asylum first as well because it just "got" the comic book aesthetic and atmosphere correctly. At launch I preferred City but over the years I kinda lost interest in it. Knight is awesome, I like it more than City but I HATE what they did to Scarecrow and a lot of the other designs (Ivy as well for instance... she's like... not even the same person)

[@Guyinthetie]

Knight is pretty split in the community I'm really looking forward to revisiting it for the video

[@trananhson9455]

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with another Man vs Jonkler story, but Black Mask could definitely have been in the game more

[@Guyinthetie]

Would of been nice to see more of him though joker does an insane black mask impersonation that voice was spot on 💪🏻👔

Merry Christmas ⛄

[@Not-spelt-like-at]

If you do Arkham Knight have the season of infamy on it quite good

[@Guyinthetie]

Oooh thanks for the heads up, grabbing the season pass just so I can try all the extra content i missed first time round 💪🏻👔

[@EvolNeybor]

I have liked this game since I got it. I'm not a big fan of the last bane fight, but it's still a great game. Played it today. Tried cold, cold heart, but it got the better of me. I'll definitely be playing this game. It's a lot of fun.

[@scottmemelord6130]

16:03 The funny thing is if you check out a video on The Atomsmith's channel where he plays an earlier version of Origins it turns out they actually did plan for him to say the line but for whatever reason decided against it later I guess? Missed opportunity. *EDIT:* The video is titled "Breaking an Arkham Prototype" skip to 3:39 to see it.

[@Guyinthetie]

Oh man! I guess it wouldn't really fit the tone this batman is going for but agreed that would of been amazing, completely unintentional my end though 😅

[@mohammedmazen273]

merry christmas it’s weird and funny how you started talking about the arkham series right when I started playing it. I literally just finished origins like 2 hours ago great videos

[@БогданКрименюк]

Took your sweetass time 💀💀💀

[@Guyinthetie]

Thank you such! Glad you are enjoying them were kinda the same on origins as about 3/4 of the game was all new content to me 💪🏻👔

[@joselozada324]

It was always my favorite of the games. Great fights and story.

[@Guyinthetie]

I'm surprised how highly I rate it now after hating on origins so much back at launch

[@PheonixNewson]

i think that the joker in arkham city stabbed batman on purpuse so he would die and batman would feel resbonsibile and go crazy

[@Guyinthetie]

I feel his reaction to the cure being gone means he didn't want to die imo 💪🏻👔

[@spacedolphinproductions8230]

when i was introduced to the arkham games i would olay them on my uncles laptop so i never played arkham knight because it was too powerful for the laptop and also me being young i always prefered arkham Origins and now its probably my fav or second favorite depends on the day tbh its pretty interchangeable with asylum

[@Guyinthetie]

Let's gooo! Love seeing I'm not the only one that feels this way with asylum 💪🏻👔

Arkham Origins is an interesting title because it's both nowhere as bad as some claim it is, but also not nearly as good as other claim either. I personally love the story, especially after replaying it. There were definitely missed opportunities and I also didn't like the way they handled Joker. I do like the work Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker did though, and I wouldn't mind them continuing Arkham in a retcon of Suicide Squad. However, there's something off about the combat. There's a slight timing issue between this and Arkham City which breaks the combat to me. Also, there are a ridiculous amount of different enemies and while that's challenging, once you get the electric gloves combat is broken. Either way, I do love this title and like the rest, I've 100% this game and got all the Steam Achievements.

[@Guyinthetie]

I get that you mean with the timing issues, I kinda put it down to not having the counter anymore and that I might of been out of sync but there was definitely something slightly off and it's only very slightly

[@kainscion9085]

@Guyinthetie haha yeah, there's like a few split seconds of delay that makes quite a difference. It's probably my biggest gripe. Also the game is prone to random glitches, like with the henchman in your video that got stuck.

Yet another example of a botched release where a game that was hilariously broken at launch turned out to be really good after all the bugs were finally patched out. Still a few bugs, found one place where you can reliably glitch straight through the ground by power bombing into it from a specific point and end up stuck under the map until you find a way to kill yourself, but I love finding bugs so I found that very entertaining.

[@Unhinged_Pegasus69]

Say what you want, but the reveal of the Joker in Origins is one of the greatest.

[@Guyinthetie]

It is great but the advertising ruined it at launch imo 💪🏻👔
