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.

[@IHamilton9320]

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]

@@IHamilton9320 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]

[@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 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. Still huge fan !

[@gevorkbabayan]

This video is almost perfect. But that sound effekt of switing kills me it is ok 1 or 2.but use it over 20 times made me hate this video. I cant watch it again because i know it its there. Please please please don't ever use that broken chanal sound effekt or in General horrible transitions.

[@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

[@daviddelarosa7600]

I've been a big fan of your channel for awhile now and follow it on my other accounts as well and this, this video right here may just be your magnum opus. It is magnificent. Thank you.

[@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.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Hope everything’s okay StoryStreet, love your videos, still excited for the Sequels to Planet of the Apes. Keep up the great work.

[@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. Spider verse never made me cry but your video about it did and it made me see the message behind in a way you don't do when watching it with your family

[@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).

[@saint_trex]

I really liked the video but the static was so annoying

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.

And yes I did think this before seeing the new The Batman(which wasn’t good by the way)

[@sakepapi]

I noticed that in the part (19:20) where Batman is reviving alfred the subtitiles refer to Batman as bruce wayne.

[@j1n3]

that's batman's real name

[@mrmcpopcorn9159]

@@j1n3 no shit my guy

[@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.

If you look closely you will find that Alfred and Bane are in the same position when batman is reviving them

Video title: Man has breakdown reviewing Arkham Origins

[@Batz-xk3nt]

The answer of the question is in the holiday itself. As the name applies it is about Christ. We cannot save humanity but he can. God came as an infant lived a perfect life and died so that we could live freely apart from our misdeed mistakes and the pain that we so deserve for what we do to each other ourselves and God. The point of Christmas is not nor has it ever been about commercialism food and expensive gifts or even family. It has, is, and always will be about God’s sacrificial love for us wretched sinners who make our miserable. If you can’t accept that love for what ever reason you have the freedom to do so but I’d have to ask, why would you?

[@anmo-_-6054]

Can't wait for planet of the apes part 2

[@NaraMouse101]

So as you can probably tell from other comments, you went way too hard on the static overall. But the montage at the end of part 3 really worked for me (possibly aided by having never played this game and thus Alfred's death was a surprise).

[@seafirend]

Liked the video but you overdid the tv noise sound man... the volume difference between it and the video is jarring.

[@AJ_Jingco]

Arkham Origins has always been a great game for me since it's launch in October 2013.

[@hujan1744]

Those static sounds were painful, and adds needless filler, i just skipped them, but they, at least in my opinion shouldn't be there in the first place, just slowing the whole video down, a video that by itself is pretty well made and nice to watch.

But hey now, you got me wanting to care, you got me wanting to move, taking some actions enough satisfaction, and so what if I lose, when you're making me choose the honest attraction. You're running me ragged from the news. From the newssss..And it matters. it matters it matters it matters, A persistent like ignorance pushes the latter. But I know a fear and you're trying to hide it, the truth in your years you abide it or fight it.
