Batman Arkham Origins is still seen to this day as the worst in the franchise and as a type of ugly duck in a lot of Arkham fans' eyes. Despite having awesome combat that is arguably the best in the franchise due to its aggressiveness, stealth that was good as ever, boss fights that are the best the series has seen, and a story that easily stands with the rest of the series, a lot of people, including myself, still felt that the game was a little unoriginal and that it had a bit of an Identity crisis. I think that while I had quite a few problems with Origins I still hold it as my second favourite in the entire series above both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
One thing that a lot of people had asked me about in my Arkham Origins video was my thoughts on the DLC. Specifically Cold Cold Heart. I figure I should take the same method I took in covering the DLC within Arkham Knight and take a look at the Season Pass within Arkham Origins. I do this because It’s an easy way to compile my thoughts on all the DLC in one video rather than have multiple short videos. A season pass for a game is also often cheaper than buying all the DLC individually so I can also comment on if the season pass as a whole is worth it.
Before we start talking about the content I need to talk about the price point that this season pass is at. Arkham Origins on steam is $20 Canadian Big ones and unfortunately, the season pass is also $20. In fairness to the game I bought both of them on sale for $5 each and these sales are a common occurrence. Despite this, the content here is nowhere near the length of the main story as the main story of Arkham Origins took me 8 hours, not including side quests and all the DLC content here adds up to about 4 hours. Because of this off the bat, I’d have to say that the season pass is only worth grabbing if it’s on sale for $10 or less. That’s not to say that the content here is lacking in quality but to say that when compared to the main game which has the same level of quality and a much longer playtime, $20 is too much to ask.
I think all the DLCs included in the season pass were pretty good and overall I think it is worth the $20 however I think it’s best to wait for this one to go on sale because when comparing it to the main game that retailed for the same price it’s just not worth it. Playing as Deathstroke made the challenge maps a whole lot more interesting and that goes for the initiation package too as the new maps and enemies spice up the sometimes tired gameplay.
I like how he just turned it into a raid shadow legends ad out of nowhere
That boy shill
U like that
People hate on arkham origins but its my favorite of the series, I had the most fun playing it over the other ones.
Same, my favorite too
@Genocide is fun damn bro you really gonna change our mind on it being our favorites😐
Yes. The combat is more technical and stakes actual skill. In AK its like Sloped on and takes No technic. Plus his early batsuit is so cool. Its make shift. The new movie is taking a hint from Oragins with the Suit and Earth 1 comics...i love gary frank
@@chrisknight6183 Yeah it's not button mashy like the other arkham games other than knight.
@Genocide is fun Whoah calm down Jamal don't pull out the 9. I have an opinion its my favorite of the series and I respect your opinion with arkham city, but I like the combat in origins and Iike the story with the assasins and the Black Mask twist, it does a great job of showing us how the fucked up love story of Batman and Joker came to be.
One idea for the Bruce sections, instead of giving him Detective Vision or a reskinned version of it, make it like "listen mode" from TLOU where Bruce can hear noises from enemies if he stops moving. This has several applications. Firstly, it makes playing as Bruce and as Batman feel more distinct and makes Batman's equipment feel like a neccessary upgrade (and it makes the DLC have its own gameplay gimmick that makes it play differently from the main game which would entice more people to buy it as it wouldn't just be more of the same). Secondly, it makes the player have to rely on their wits a lot more since sound provides a less complete picture than Detective Vision. Thirdly, there are lots of interesting ways enemies and the player can respond to it. Like, they can adapt to it by moving slower which makes Listen Mode less effective so the player might have to do something to prompt the enemies to run for a short while to see them. The enemies can make their own noises to confuse the player's Listen Mode and lure them into a trap. Fourthly, it makes learning to avoid the crutch a more skillful endeavor instead of a handicap. Players who "git gud" at Predator segments without needing Listen Mode as much do much better than players relying on it which encourages players to work more.
This is a fantastic idea
That's actually really cool
@@ThatBoyAqua epic.. free game and i still don't bother finsih batman game yet.. one of them still stuck..
That's exactly what I was thinking
@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 The "issue" is that at this point, Detective Vision has become too much of a staple in the Arkham games. Significantly nerfing it might cause many fans to complain
Me: I like origins My friends: your talking about AC and not Batman
I enjoyed both
Cold cold heart fulfils everything I wanted from a Batman dlc, almost anyway, you get to play as Bruce, walk through the manor, go down to the bat cave, fight new enemies, a new suit and reworked gadgets. I don’t think any other dlc for any of the other games gives you a new suit and enemies. For me that’s why cold cold heart is my favourite.

1:40 - cheeky!
I'm so glad someone noticed this ;)
Off the bat?
That Boy Aqua Really enjoy these videos, you got me to replay Arkham City!
Thank you kindly, I'm glad you enjoy them!
Thank you!
The whole premise of the Arkham City Freeze fight was that he was too dangerous to be taken head on. Would've liked to have seen young Bats in this DLC try to go in head first and get wrecked. Would've given his apprehension in City some background.
Yeah, like the first part of the fight in the Cold Cold Heart is partially head on, then in a cutscene or something, he injures bats pretty good, then you move into stealth. Just a thought
One thing that always bothered me while playing as Deathstroke is that he's just Robin, animation-wise. I was hoping for something unique and more brutal.
It would be cool if he wasn't threatened by people with hostages
Exactly he plays like robin he should have had his own animations and should be able to kill
Found this channel a few days ago after seeing your channel in whitelights recommended, and I no joke just binge watched almost every video you have done, it’s so entertaining, and I think I found my new favourite KZheadr 😳
Aww thank you ,comments like these make my day! ❤️❤️
Dude the death stroke battle in arkham knight was so ASS, I loved the one in origins it was so amazing and fun. The death stroke boss fight in origins is my favorite boss in any game
Preach
Same the fact it was actually hard was really nice Knight completely fucked up with boss fights
They had this combat master that is on batmans level and put him in a boring tank battle
I don’t mind the sponsors dude.. if it helps you then go for it
I think they made the combat the same on purpose. During the boss fight with freeze in arkham city, Batman requests info on freeze from alfred, Info that pertains to their LAST fight. Strategies on how to take him down
Danm, Bruce can really concentrate so hard that he can see through walls.
Main "protagonist" Mr Freeze 😂
From a certain point of few, he's not wrong
@@someonewhocommentsonyoutub3779 no, there’s a difference between heroes and protagonist and villains and antagonist. Mr. Freeze provides a obstacle for Batman to overcome, nor is he the POV character, therefore he is a antagonist.
@@darthgriffin7741 pretty sure its a joke smartass
@@darthgriffin7741 But from Freeze's point of view he's the protagonist
17:09 was hilarious! 😂 Also I was so confused when this DLC was getting average reviews and somehow they were all giving Harley Quinn’s revenge great reviews despite being no better than Cold, Cold Heart.
INCOMING UNORIGINAL RAID JOKES.. nahh big dawg get that bread
Raid still shit
@@t-0096 these creators are trying to eat just skip it he made time stamps
@@chuckhicks7841 It still sucks
Man I have really been enjoying your content. Discovered you through your videos on Arkham Knight and Im really glad I did. Between stuff like this and your Assassins Creed videos I'm rally pumped to see what youre going to release in the future! Great videos man, keep it up
Thank you kindly!
You can always play the challenge maps with the modifier that disables Detective Mode if you want
when big larry came to put down, spongebob turned into a clown. And no girl ever wants to dance. With a fool who went and. RIpped his pants, Girl lets watch the rain as its falling down, Sunlight on your skin when im not around
That was nice thank you
Thanks for this
When you have sudden flashbacks, but they are actual good memories
GigatronusPrime no problem my nigga
Deathstroke felt like a skin for the Arkham City Robin character with very few new moves. On other note, the experience over all of the DLC I felt was worth the price, along with all the new challenge maps that came with the Azrael Skin for Batman which were a lot of fun even if some were re-skinned maps from arkham city like the museum or the GCPD building and I'm surprised you didn't mention them. That aside, great video as always!

Your videos are so engaging I’ve never had a consistent interest in a youtuber before Where is your 1 mil?
I've discovered your channel yesterday and have literally watched every episode on your channel and most of the games you talk about I don't have except the Arkham games. Thanks for the effort you put into these. Harley Quinn has a dump truck ass. I've said my piece
I can’t believe you, You caught me off guard with that Raid shadow legends sponsor, I was expecting you to say batman Arkham knights dlc price but no I get hit with the raid shadow legends sponsor, wow.
Glad to see you getting sponsors dude. I hope it helps bring you more success.
Thank you for understanding! I know in video sponsors can be annoying and I’m so grateful that you are willing to put up with it ❤️❤️
I think Origins and it's DLC is much better than anything from Asylum and City...
Spartan Q77 did it though?Origins had the white skin gaslight and the zombie one plus injustice
Anything from Asylum/City or anything from Asylum/City DLC's?
I prefer both of them over Origins. Excluding the dlc. Cold Cold Heart was so good. It's better than the main game.
City is just much better than Origins across the board, besides the script
Wassup love your vids one of the only you tubers i spare time to watch you are realy underated you need alot more subs
That ad transition was clean af
I personally really enjoyed the DLC Cold, Cold Heart. Sure, the upgrades you could get we're just kinda... Eh. But I did find uses for them in the game and in some cases, they were Lifesavers. As far as the story goes, I enjoyed it. The enviorments they set up at GothCorp were really good, with the blue sort of smoke or fog clouding the hallways. I also really enjoyed seeing Gotham in this sort of orangish cloud. It sort of gave Gotham a new atmosphere which I really liked. I do really wish we could visit places like Burnley too, which was inaccessible during the DLC. But, overall, I really loved this DLC and the season pass in general, so if someone were to ask me if it's worth it, I'd say yes, but only if the price went down to 10$ or lower, I actually got mine for 5$. Worth it!
I think that initiation would’ve been cool if it were a story dlc similar to the part of Batman Begins where he’s training with the League of Shadows
This came out perfect timing, I just passed Origins and am now considering buying the season pass, I really like this game might be the 3rd or 2nd best batman game imo
I like your content it’s just really good opinions with no bias
AQUA U DID THE VID YAS thank u ive been waiting for this vid FOR SOOOOO LONG sooooo thank u u are an AMAZING ytuber and im sorry for not coming to streams every now and then could u maybe make streams earlier
Another great video, thanks aqua!
Jesus Christ you make these fast. I dont even know how you do that, its amazing. But also, ac revelations when xD
I try to do it as fast as I can but school can be tough lol. I will try to have the revelations video out after my next video. Thank you for such kind comments!
it would've been awesome if the Cold Cold Heart dlc was part of the main story, like a second part where once you finish the first story you get to start the second one or possibly mixed with the main story where after the events of the Joker creating chaos in gotham, Dr. Freeze suddenly appears during the new year's celebration in wayne manor
Don't worry about the sponsors man, working like this takes a lot of time and you deserve to get the most profit you can out of your content!
I like how in initiation when Bruce flips them over he just does that but when he’s mad he breaks their arm in the main campaign
“Best boss fights of the series” Mr. Freeze laughs at you.
I’m surprised Aqua didn’t talk about the online multiplayer stuff.
quality content as always
back when I first got the season pass, I did not look too deep into what I'd get, but I only found out a couple years ago I did not receive the brightest day or gotham by gaslamp skins, as well as the initiation dlc. I really loved everything about origins but knowing I missed out on content I likely won't take the time to attempt to revisit is a bit upsetting.
I am so glad I found this obscure channel
Dont forget about how good the online multiplayer was
I always liked Arkham Origins. It was a different approach for me and different enough while still "samey" enough to what we were used to.
I like how you named the ad section "best part" very nice haha. Also origins got shit on way too much, its an amazing game.
There's actually one more circle vent in the final offer. That's it tho.
Get that Raid bag my dude lol
Awesome video man
Great vid man
I won’t lie, that Raid ad caught me super off guard *lol. Nonetheless, get that bread Aqua! Love your content broh!
Thank you kindly! ❤️❤️
this channel is honestly underrated. being able to be neutral, seeing the good and bad without one feeling overwhelming. i hope you reach 1 million subscribers someday.
Thank you kindly I’m glad you enjoy these videos!
The Raid bit caught me off guard I loved playing as Deathstroke. He was really familiar but had nuances too I also like Cold Cold Heart bc of the new suit even though I've never played it myself :v
I appreciate you putting the best part as a chapter so I could instantly find and watch it and not have to waste my time looking at the rest of the garbage
Took me awhile to get to this but i’m happy I did and I always love some Arkham Origins love
I wish they added DS in AK Ar challenges, would've been so fun imo
I love these Batman videos so much 😁
Hope you are looking forward to the eventual Arkham City video!
Arkham origans was like my second favorite arkham hands down
there is 1 other circular vent in the steel mill which leads you to a data pack in origins
I really enjoy Arkham Origins since it allows us to explore the Wayne Manor. The other Arkham games didn’t do this.
2:00 I tought you were gonna say "because they payed me"
The only reason I ever got Arkham Origins was to play the challenge maps as Deathstroke despite being given a lackluster tool kit and moveset.
I think it was said that initiation Bruce's "Detective Vision" is a ninja technique where you locate your enemies by the sounds of their movements
Bullshit much. Like Harley Quinn in Arkham Knight.
It would be pretty cool if that was true, and Bruce upgraded it to fit more with his whole shtick
You said that if you pre order the game you get deathstroke but do you also get him if you purchase the season pass? I don't know since I don't own the game but am planning to buy it on Steam
In rewatching this video, I went back too the PS3 store so I could see all the DLC for this game and I found a Black Mask challenge pack, I could not tell is he a playable character or are these challenges made by him?
It’s just 2 extra challenge maps for $1.99 or $0.49 when it is on sale.
I wish I could buy the dlc on xbox since I don't have a PC yet or the funds for one anytime soon but just for curiosity, would the steam code still work?
Cold cold heart is the only dlc I’ve never played in the Arkham series, I’m waiting for the seasons pass to go on sale
Fun fact, if you are PC you can still get the PS3 exclusive skins, Knightfall and 66 suit, and challenge maps
I just brought the game again on ps3 since there was a bundle with all the dlc can't wait to play it again I loved it when it first came out I hope it's as good as I remember wish the gotham by gaslight skin was added to arkham knight that would have looked sick af
I only really want to play Cold Cold Heart from the DLC, but may check out the season pass on sale.
It's kinda fun
Aqua: we got spoilers in this video Me: but, it’s been out for like 10 years
Good video 👍
low-key kinda annoying that the Deathstroke and black mask packs aren't included in the season pass. don't really fancy paying an extra £10 considering its cost atleast £50 so far
The season pass is 13 pounds bruv i only have the deathstroke dlc which i bought for 1 pounds
Fun fact wb Montreal created the batgirl doc for arkham knight so no wonder you like this game
Such an underrated game ngl
Yes, the raid of the shadow legends
Do you think you can talk about the online?
I never got to play the DLC for Arkham Origins 😥. I hope they Remaster Arkham Origins for PS4 so I can finally play all the DLC.
Deathstroke probably didn’t snap necks so the game could keep its T rating
It's more because these are Robin's animations.
Hear for algorithm great video
Shouts out Pyritre I’m convinced he’s keeping our boy fed and sheltered out here 🔥🔥👏🏾
Deathstroke not killing people in his gameplay is one of my major peeves in that dlc lol.
I can’t even finish the Initiation DLC because my game crashes on the 2nd map
Instantly left the second raid came up
No fucking way you got the Raid sponsor I new it
Been really enjoying your videos recently, they are very in-depth and I like how you aren't biased when judging aspects of a game. If you could, please try and make a video on a game like kingdom hearts if you have played it
I don’t think I’d have much to say on Kingdom Hearts but I am grateful that you like the videos! ❤️❤️
Idk if your saying that in a good or bad way but I'm just happy that someone replied to me, other than that, maybe devil may cry?
I just haven’t gotten around to playing the games and I have so many games that I’d want to cover. Nothing against you or the series! I could see myself making a video on DMC Devil May Cry as it’s my favourite DMC game which I know is a brutally unpopular opinion.
Now thats a video I wanna see
Fun fact, I just got the notification for this video, 13 minutes ago. Judging by the fact that this was uploaded yesterday, I’m at least 15 hours late.
I really liked the season pass to origins, I also feel that initiation could be a lot better, with giving you some at least small open area and more story, but I still enjoyed playing it Deathstroke gameplay is really fun for me, the only thing I'd wish for him to have is to somehow include his sword he uses during our fight with him, maybe they could make it as a replacement for Batman's shock gloves, he could also use it to do quick kills during stealth sections. And cold cold heart was a really great dlc story wise, I also liked the fact that we start out as Bruce Wayne without anything and XE suit is probably one of my favorite batman's suits design wise
Is deathstroke in the seasonpass cause it says he isn't
@@Oneshot1kill428 I believe Deathstroke and his challenges come with base game
@ejser1299 are you sure? cause I don't want to waste money as deathstroke besides the story it self he is one of the reasons I'm getting the game
@@Oneshot1kill428 well the best reason is to just buy the game and later on season pass. But I remember that I could play as him in challenge mode before I bought battle pass
@ejser1299 did you pre order the game?
does the arkham collection on the playstation 3 digital store include the arkham origins dlc?
Im only 14 but this was the first arkham game i played. I just recently just benjed all the other games in the series and in my opinion origins did a lot of things right but I just don't like the art style as much as the rocksteady games. Big fan.
UP THE BOYS. Loved Origins never played the DLC. who knows this may convince me.
Personally I’d pass. I had the season pass on Xbox 360 and didn’t get much value from it. If you really want, I’d recommend buying Cold, Cold Heart seperately for slightly cheaper
AQUA! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
❤❤❤
It’s interesting that WB Montreal is making the new Gotham Knights game!
Do a ghost of Tsushima video
He really caught me slipping with Raid Shadow Legends
I think it's weird you mention how much they're selling for now as opposed to the initial sale. If I remember right the game sold for $60 with the season pass selling for $30, which lines up with what you think the difference should be. Also the season pass also came with two challenge map campaigns, along with play ability for ninja Bruce and Deathstroke adding them to all the challenge maps. There were a buttload of skins, they didn't waste half of it on the multiplayer, and Cold Cold Heart took the Harley Quinn Revenge idea and amplified it by a million. I honestly think thins game is the greatest version of season pass content I've ever seen.
There’s actually a mod where you can free roam and play the entire story as deathstroke, and it’s fucking amazing
1:57, Oh Crap, a surprise sponsership!
I have Origins on the Wii U, and the training area in the Batcave doesn't load, and I have to restart the game!
Will you play assassin's Creed Unity's dead kings DLC?
