I loved the scene in the game where Alfred says, "My god Bruce, you're the Batman! This is your Arkham Origin!"

Correction: The multiplayer mode was developed by Splash Damage, the story mode was developed by WB Montreal.

Out of the entire Arkham series, orgins had the best boss fights. Also it did Bane correctly, unlike in asylum.

Origins actually handles the joker stuff incredibly well. They built this air of mystery around the Joker, even showing glimpses of his Killing Joke "backstory" but above all that it has one of my favourite Joker scenes ever. Batman dives off a building to save Joker and he realises "wait a minute... You really won't let me die?!" And then just starts slaughtering his own guys to mess with Batman. This is the moment Batman went from being a threat that needs to be eliminated to both an endless source of entertainment for Joker and a philosophical rival that needs to be beaten and it is glorious.

This game was fire, I was so disappointed when they did the remaster and didn't include this one

I genuinely found it to be fun as hell, I didn't need it to be a revolutionary game, I just needed a fun game!

The hardest bossfight in this game is by far elecrocutioner that dude was such a chore to go through. Fr tho this game had some awesome fights especially the ones with bane, that dude was RELENTLESS.

I have an entire save file dedicated to fighting Deathstroke, restarting mid-battle or hard quitting immediately after the win so I can always come back to the best duel in the series.

The Deathstroke fight is 5⭐

I love how literally everyone is going back and giving Origins a shot. Probably my favorite of the 4 and I really hope the current remaster rumors aren’t a load of crap and come true

I loved every game in the Arkham series. I loved to watch my brother play them and he loved playing them. Arkham origins being "just more batman" was exactly what we wanted.

Things that Arkham Origins did and gets no credit for: - Pretty short and well-told story. - A perfect villain highlight reel. All the characters are presented well, written well and it leads up to extremely satisfying moments. Firefly getting his ass kicked after torching most of Gotham and being told he needs a new hobby is one of my favorite, most Batman moments in the entire Arkham series. - The amazing performances of Troy Baker as Hamill's Joker and Roger Craig Smith as younger, more inexperienced and angry Batman. - The great build up to the Joker reveal after they previously killed him off in Arkham City. - At that time Hamill announced he was retiring and hiring Troy Baker as his "successor" really solidified the audience's expectations that there's no chance of us getting another Hamill Joker moment ever again. If it wasn't for Arkham Origins, the "Miss me?" scene in Arkham Knight wouldn't have had the impact it did. - (this already mentioned) it was just MORE of going around Gotham being Batman which is always a good thing.

Dude I remember playing this game non-stop in my second year of college!! I have to say This one is my favorite in the Arkham series. Plus the boss fight with Slade is the best video game 🎮 Bossfight that I’ve ever played. Also Roger Craig Smith did an awesome job voicing Batman.

Origins is like the step child of the series

The slade fight was amazing. The arkham series should've done a hand to hand combat boss fight.

I loved seeing this game without physics. Also, I loved the Killer Croc fight. I laughed so hard when he went invisible as you were beating him, then suddenly when he reappears he’s throwing you on the ground by the leg

Origins was fun to me. I liked bane and all the other villains. The boss fights were fun and kept me interested. Arkham knight really only had a red hood boss fight and it was a meh stealth fight. The rest was bat tank bullcrap.

This game was a masterpiece to me, I loved playing online as Batman in the yellow lantern suit as a kid. People overlooked this game, now everyone wants to like it cause of how stale games have become the last few years pretty much.

This was my first Batman game and I absolutely love it! That deathstroke boss battle was phenomenal

This one was always my favorite in the series. I love a good origin story. Awesome video by the way.

I think people expected it to be a full on evolution but this was more like a "let's just give some more batman while knight is in development" and in the perspective it was pretty good I liked it But only later I heard about the hate it got for not being the 'next step'

Kevduit's sense of excitement when mashing the button during batman's flurry is exactly how I feel when I play this game 🤣

He releases this video literally one day after I finished Arkham Origins on my Steam Deck and had the same opinion. It’s just as good as the other Arkham games.

literally my favorite game in the arkham series i remember being mad that they never brought it into the trilogy such a good game

Killer Croc: Thought I caught your scent. Batman: I thought I caught yours. Translation: - U stinky - No U

People always forget you can just spam attack, counter, stun, combo, roll and vault in WB games especially in this one

I loved origins. He’s so freaking brutal in this game. Fun gadgets and a good story. Good voice acting too.

"I'm about to come down there and break all your physics" is the most threatening thing I've ever heard 🤣🤣

I think one thing that really catches my interest is that Arkham Origins which is the first game timeline wise in the story is meant to happen on Christmas Eve-Christmas Morning, and Arkham Knight the last game on the time line (at least playing as Batman, Apparently the Suicide Squad game happens in the same universe) happens on Halloween, I feel like it just adds a bit more pop to all of the games and these two in particulars

Love this man for bringing back memories of some of the JEWELS

The story was actually my favourite out of ALL of them.

Killer Croc just straight-up hit his head on the wall so hard he turned into a fucking Nightkin and made Batman go deaf XD

Man I'd kill to see another one of these with mad max

Man I did this on "I am the Night" difficulty thrice. First time for the trophy Second for the hat trick Then the third to make it a thematic upload series on my own RU-vid channel in December and the Cold Cold Heart DLC for Christmas and New Years as they take place during those two holidays.

Please continue this game! It’s so underrated. Such an amazing game that needs to get remastered. Also your commentary is hilarious lol

I'm happy to see that this game is finally getting some of the love it deserved. I've loved it from day 1 even the multi-player! I hope it gets a remaster or something but it still looks great. It has all of my favorite Arkham boss fights

This was my first ever batman game and it holds a special place in my heart and this is the reason why it's my favorite

i actually have no idea why he has so many bugs etc. i never had any problems apart from low fps with the one physics setting

Hope you make another one continuing the game as I'm enjoying your comedy here

Still to this day one of my all time favourite games, great mix of puzzle, combat and rpg

This was honestly one of my favorite batman, loved the boss battles

I remember I just used like almost an hour on that Deathstroke boss fight, and after I defeated him I felt so good!

Glad to know the studio intros didn’t just have crackly audio for me And the incredibly lags. Thought it was just my computer.

Imagine not playing Origins on the 360, how it's meant to be played But next time you force your friends to play a game, you should do Origins' online mode. It's really underrated.

Man the boss fights in this game gave me a hard time but boy they were fun and so cinematic, origins truly did have the best boss fights

first time watching this guy and can already tell that he is actually being himself dude is crazy lmao funny asf I love the genuine energy in this video.

I got this game on Wii U in 2020. I couldn’t find the DVD so I got it for PS3 on Christmas 2022. It was the collectors edition. As soon as I typed the codes for all DLCs, which are available until October 2023, it said they aren’t available no more. One month ago I tried to get all the DLCs via code and guess what, it worked. I was so hyped for the Injustice skin, the new challenge maps and the Mr Freeze story. This game was/is really unique in its own way. Love this game

When you mentioned beating Asylum on hard difficulty, I was brought back to a memory I suppressed of fighting Ivy in Asylum on hard (or maybe it was new game plus, same difference). THAT is a boss fight I will NEVER want to endure again. Also, I agree, this game is super fun and gets more hate than it deserves. The music, the cutscenes, the voice acting, everything is great though it is a little buggy. Troy Baker also did amazing as the voice for the Joker.

this game served its purpose, it allowed arkham knight to have the best amount of content within a timely manner. i really enjoyed it despite not being revolutionary, it had the best bosses in the whole franchise and it isnt even close. the way the used the arkham city map and still managed to make it completely different was insane

Haven't had this much fun watching a RU-vid video in a while. Thanks, Kevduit!

Loved origins, played it in the evenings after work over xmass and it was snowing outside. Talk about immersive.

Great video, and great game. The reason people don't like it is that it does things worse that the previous game handled better. The grappling line is more finicky to where you can land it, for example, and they really went over the top with the Riddler collectibles starting in this one. Looking forward to when/if you get around to Metro 2033 Redux, a.k.a. Metro Origins.

The multiplayer on the PS3 was actually surprisingly fun!!! I loved it! It literally had gears of war gameplay in a Batman Arkham game 😅

Me watching the video enjoying probably one of the first Batman games I’ve ever played in the dark in my room…proceeds for get flashbanged by slade. Also just loving the flying goons! I’ve always loved just seeing them flying into the air or flying into the funniest spots XD

I remember having similar issues with old PhysX games, where I had to download the Legacy PhysX drivers (and the newer ones that come with the video drivers as well) for those games to work, otherwise they would crash at random places...

I honestly think this game is awesome, it’s one of my favorites, and also some of the most fun I’ve had playing a game. The only problem I have with it is that’s it’s very glitchy, and you have to be careful to not accomplish too much in the game or everything crashes and glitches out. When I first got it it would erase my data every time I finished the game. I got it again a few years later and it was better, it didn’t erase my game, but gadgets kept disappearing after I finished the new game plus, that’s what I mean by ya can’t accomplish too much or the game kinda has a seizure. And yeah watching this, it’s somehow even more glitchy on pc, it never did any of this stuff when I played it on the Xbox 360.

I absolutely love origins. It is my favourite batman game ever and people give it flak for being made by WB montriel even tho most of the team were rocksteady people anyway. This game had MUCH better combat then the 2 before it and the design of the batsuit is my favourite. This game is awesome and deserves recognition as an amazing entry to the arkham series

I bought the game on sale a few years ago, played for like 10 minutes and stopped until I started playing a few days ago. It's definitely an enjoyable experience, except the few times I experience bugs (like seeing knocked out enemies jump in the air, and one time there was no sound except doors opening and the menu, until I restarted the game).

I remember being on the GameStop website as a kid and searched “Batman” to look at collectibles and seeing the image for the first time of origins, I was so hyped for it and tho it has its flaws it is still my go to game in December for a Christmas feel

It is my second most played Arkham game, City is my most played one.' Update: My most played Arkham is Knight now.

I liked this one a lot, would love to play a remastered version. It was different enough with its aesthetic & storytelling that it felt unique in the series. Love the wintertime Gotham and having the run of the city. It clearly inspired some of what Rocksteady did with Arkham Knight too ironically, including the style of the armored batsuit.

So glad to see I wasn't the only one who had issues with the killer croc fight. This game sure is a gem

Goddamnit kev. I’m late yet again for a game that is a childhood classic and my first Arkham game. It was just amazing in every way. I’m just gonna subscribe and turn on notifications so I can see your next childhood banger

The game wasn't bad at all. The story had some definitive weakpoints, but that could be said for every game post Asylum.

Absolutely loved this game, just found it to be so much fun! Was very surprised after people hated on it. Only minor gripe was the Deathstroke boss fight set the bar so high for the rest of them, but it didn't ruin the game or anything. Meaning to revisit it & play through it again.

i loved this game it hardly had any issues with physics just onetime an enemy clipped to a wall that was it

I got this as a special edition for Christmas and it was my favourite game for ages but because i was a child i found it really hard, im thinking of replaying it

Best Arkham game, idgaf what anyone says

Truly Batman

Honestly it was my favorite out of the Arkham games. I remember playing as Deathstroke and it was honestly so much fun

13:56 That's true. It really is the best "This" moment 👌

Personally I don’t like Origins it just doesn’t have the cool world building and atmosphere of Asylum or the love and passion of City or the chaotic fun of Knight or the cool storytelling of the Telltale games or the charm of the Lego… ok I’ll stop.

I honestly loved this game. even platinumed it on ps3 back when the multiplayer still worked. Multiplayer was even fun.

I never experienced a bug with that game, I played it on PS3 and it was running smoothly all the time

This game was my childhood bro !!! I hated that deathstroke fight because it was so hard when I was young but glad it’s still getting the recognition it deserves

I just finished this game for the first time last week. I have a gaming laptop that's a few years old and I had no problem running it. Game was pretty good, not perfect or revolutionary but defiantly enjoyable. I didn't have nearly as many issues as you did. It maybe froze a few times throughout all of the time I played it

i played this on pc recently and had none of the issues kevduit had im surprised any of these are even a thing

The only glitches I got( which I loved) was the guys flying after u knock them out 😭. I love this game idk how people get so much glitches 😂

This game definitely had some of my favorite boss fights in the series! Also, it's weird you were having so many glitches, I played it on the 360 and never had invisible enemies or weird gravity sending guys flying up 20 feet with a punch as far as I remember...

What made me a fan of Origins was the premise with the assassins... That and the CSI sections XD

Bro, Kevduits work ethic is fucking nuts. This dude is uploading so much quality content.

Your sarcasm has provided me with much entertainment, human. -👽 “Is a banal a kind of fruit?” Lol.

As a child I loved the multiplier I always wish they made a stand alone version of it but like fix all the issues with it

AYOOO a W+ arthunder sponsor for Kevduit?? I have been blessed this day.

I remember being stuck on the slade fight indefinitely when I was a kid before my dad scratched the disk to the point it was unreadable

I’m surprised your play on Steam was this glitchy. The most trouble I had on this game was optimizing it for my gaming laptop and sometimes when gliding, Batman would do strange glide dips. But it was a rare occurrence.

Literally just opened your previous video where you slammed origins, glad to see you came around

Just replayed this game for this Christmas, on PC. I didn't experience any problems, had my game cranked up to max settings (ok not the ones that bother me, like Depth of Field). I have a 2060 RTX and a 4th gen CPU. I wonder what caused the issue for you. Anyway, I always said this game was REALLY underrated, it actually has improvements over City. I often replay it during the holidays. This year I aimed to get the 'I am the Night' achievement.

the title is right, yersterday i bought the game and its insane, prob my second fav arkham

I remember completing this on PS3 when it came out and having no glitches at all I couldn’t be bothered to find all the Ridler data packs I did get all the towers down, so I could fly round in the batwing, but I wish you could actually control the batwing

19:50 I'm sure there was a whole fight sequence but I love how it's been edited to where it looks like he literally just jumped over him and then kicked him in the face after he spent like so long monologuing about how it would be to hits one of him punching Batman and then Batman hitting 50,000 volts. Then Batman proceeded to leap over him and knock him out in a single hit

Minus the technical issues i had playing this game on PC, I really liked it a lot.

Thing is this games story, boss fights, and side missions are like really good (Thank god I only experienced 2 glitches killer crock and a door glitch) but the glide is way too slow and idk how you go from Arkham city to the gliding in this game.

My favorite thing in this game is the snow and Christmas setting :)

I grew up with arkham origans and I couldn't beat slade until yesterday when I got a copy from a yard sale and it was in sealed condition.And I felt proud after beating my childhood nemesis in that game

I love this game. Right now I am doing the challenge that if you die you redo the whole thing,right now about to fight Chopperhead or what ever her nam is.

I really miss the multiplayer from this, great days of playing with old friends. D:

The funniest thing is Origins worked perfectly fine on my PC that had parts from 2009. 40 fps max, but it was working

The scene investigation and reconstruction; for me, the first time I experienced it was in the Telltale Batman series, long before Detroit: Become Hero.
