Today we're going to take a look at Arkham Origins. I'd like to see if this game holds up, and if the original reactions we're right.

This game does not get the love it deserves. Everyone lauds City, but Origins has some of the most Year 1 feeling of any Batman game ever.

I must disagree on your touch on Deathstroke fight, it's quite good if you keep the pace, particularly in higher difficulties. Bane is also quite good, I don't really know why you find'em "simple"

Actually underrated tbh, don't know why it got so much hate back when it came out.

Something you talked about Killer Croc looking less gigantic in this game, Killer Croc looking more animalistic is something that is actually very criticized by fans that only started back in the early 2000's. Croc isn't supposed to be a literal giant crocodile man but a guy suffering from a severe skin condition that makes him look like one (I know that sounds pretty silly but it's comics, so we just gotta go with it). In spite of this Waylon is often depicted as having more than scaly skin and is often given a pronounced snout and tail. Which makes no sense, why would a skin condition give a human the literal physical characteristics of a Crocodile?

I actually really liked the Deathstroke fight that solidified the game in my mind as an "Arkham" game but then again I always like the "mirror" fights in video games. I just thought it was super cool to fight someone who had the same button options as you in the game. Overall I liked origins in the lineup and I think if it had come before Asylum it'd be the best in the series in everyone's mind but Arkham City was a very tough act to follow.

Origins > Knight, and I'm dying on this hill.
The biggest problem with the story was them not being able to restrain themselves from making the Joker the main villain for at least 5 minutes, a mistake Knight would repeat.
I think both fans and especially Rocksteady have been way too harsh with this game, to the point of not considering it canon, and not include it in the compilations.

For as in-depth as this is you explain much of the plot completely wrong. Like Bane's memory loss. It's not because he was electrocuted it was the TN-01. Batman said while looking at the notes in Bane's lair it causes severe memory loss.

Dissing Origins boss fights? That's a paddling.

I love origins and I hate that it’s left behind from the others. The “I am the reason criminals breath easier when the sun comes up” gives me chills every time. All in all it’s a good game and i will agree it’s not an improvement over City but I’m still glad it exist

I loved Arkham origins. I'm actually kinda mad I don't have it anymore. It was probably the second best in the series in my opinion. They went so in depth with the detective mode that It made really go through the rest of the games with detective mode on constantly to see what kinda stuff I can find

I'm pretty sure it's TN-1, which Bane developed as a much more powerful variant of Venom so he could be permanently super strong and also kick the addiction.

When it first came out Arkham Origins was definitely underrated and does so many things very well and in many cases better than Arkham Knight. The game has a great story and fantastic characterization, with Batman, Alfred, Joker, Gordon and Bane being the standouts, the boss fights are all memorable and the best without a doubt in the Arkham series (although overall the Mr. Freeze fight from Arkham City is the best) and it's certainly better than any boss fight in Arkham Knight or even Arkham Asylum. I'm actually a bit surprised that you liked almost none of them. It's also the only game where you can go to the Batcave. Not to mention that it also has the best DLC out of all the Arkham games with Cold Cold Heart. I also adore the music and soundrack composed for the game by Christopher Drake. In last few years people have gone back to the game and have praised it a lot more for its story, characterization and nuances in its story. I disagree that Arkham Knight handled the detective part of the game and crime scene reconstruction better than Arkham Origins and in fact I'd say that it was hardly utilized in Arkham Knight. I would also say that it's the only game in the series where Batman's character arc feels prevalent and integral to the story.

He isn't as smart and forgets Batman's identity after this because of the TN-1, not the electricity.

It's not the electricity that makes him forget, it's the use of titan venom which makes him big like how he was in Asylum. It's the crutch of his character, his intellect is hemorrhage by his drug use and addiction

Personally I loved Arkham Origins. It's not as good as Asylum and City, and Origins remains the only Arkham game where I experienced game-breaking bugs. I think it was a total of three times (out of many, many more playthroughs than that) where I experienced the same bug, where when going through a door the environment around me disappears. Leaving and reloading the game causes Batman to be infinitely falling in a void. The only way around it is to 1: delete the save, or 2: be fast enough to restart before autosave kicks in when you see the environment vanish.
That said, I thought the story was pretty good (I wasn't too angry about it being yet another Joker story since IMO the Arkham series is all about Batman's rivalry and twisted connection to the Joker), the boss battles were great (really the only boss battle I liked from the other Arkham games was Mr. Freeze), and I loved the portrayal of Bane in this game. IMO Paul Dini wasn't too great at writing Bane in Asylum, where he felt out of character.

This is the video in this series that I've been waiting for. By far my favourite game just because of the Deathstroke fights

I didn't expect another video so quick after the previous one! I love Origins even though I played it the least. Roger Craig Smith should totally fit into Kevin Conroy's shoes and I hope we'll see him in this role again.

I know you've completed the games you've done retrospectives for but I wanted to ask if you have listened to all the interview tapes from the Arkham games? If not I highly recommend watching them because they offer some of the best conversations in the entire Arkham series.

Origins is underrated

This game has the best and most accurate depiction of Bane ever outside the comics. They really managed to expertly portray Bane's intelligence and struggle with Venom as well as his Santa Priscan background in this game.
