Arkham Origins: The Batman's definitive gaming sequel

Arkham Origins displayed a definitive, enriched version of the Batman, that stands tall as the franchise's strongest entry.

Spent years standing by origins while always getting crap for it. Just to have everyone suddenly view it as a "hidden gem". Games has THE BEST bossfights in the series by far

-Foxtrot784d ago

The boss fights are cool but it’s still lacking in some areas. Like the Deathstroke fight is better than the shitty tank fight in Arkham Knight.

My issue aswell is that for being a prequel Batman has a suit and gear thats sometimes better than what’s in the sequels. Hell there’s some things which are missing in the sequels which you wonder why he never used as it would have helped him a lot.

SDuck783d ago

The problem you point out needed to happen. You can't make a new game on a franchise and strip it away from mechanics that were in previous games. Making a Batman that's worse equipped than in A.Asylum would have sucked. That's the issue with prequels but I don't think that's something we should be complaining. The games made a good job showing Bats has every tool at his disposal but he not always takes them with him. Maybe before Asylum he has broken the armored suit so he had to use the spandex, who knows.

SDuck783d ago

I was there with you and it baffles me how often this happens. People shit in the game to be c*nts when they didn't even experienced it. Now they see it was an awesome game. Is it too hard to make up your mind without basing it on others opinions?

Germaximus783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

Yup. Always happens. Same thing happened with Bulletstorm, Alice: Madness Returns, Anthem, Mass Effect: Andromeda. People are mindless sheep.

I agree it's a good game. Though, *spoiler* i didn't like that it was all involving Joker, again *end spoiler*. And after Arkham City, i guess, a lot of people expected more changes, at least i heard a lot of people saying "I was expecting more from this game". And i remember quite a few bugs.
Multiplayer was trash, though, IMO. At least i never got it to work properly (lags, falling through floor, frequent disconnects). And they abandoned it rather quickly.

Lack of Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy only cool thing was fighting Deathstroke I love Deathstroke as a villain. After that the game just feels lack luster when compared to the other entries in the Arkham franchise. If you are a die hard Batman fan or you find it dirt ass cheap grab it. I played it and I was not impressed by Arkham Origins I would say its my least favorite entry.

Germaximus783d ago

It's my favorite game in the series.

JayRyu783d ago

I think that the game was solid. I enjoyed it. I disliked about the game the grappling hook ceiling. You couldn't Grapple to the top of bridges or certain buildings.

autobotdan783d ago

The greatest Batman game of all time. If anybody disagrees Slade Wilson will find you

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

Rebel_Scum102d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga102d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro102d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos102d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro102d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum102d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood103d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds102d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name102d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix76102d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq102d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing1102d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.

Batman: Arkham Origins - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion183d ago

I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).

The Unjustly Forgotten Batman: Arkham Origins Deserves A Resurgence

Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.

lellkay296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

It's the worst of the three in my opinion, but still really enjoyable. Definitely underated and gets far more crap that it deserves.

Should be included with the other Arkham games in the bundle.

Demetrius296d ago

I'm honestly enjoying it alot, my first time playing since I just decided to get a Xbox 360 slim for 65$, I cop some other gems too tho, I went into Arkham origins not expecting better than Arkham city but it does deliver plus the guy who voices batman did a good job aiming for the young Bruce impression
