  • But that doesn't mean it's bad.
    Today, I break down the Batman game everyone overlooks for one reason or another. Most write it off as a cheap portable cash-in that has no right to exist alongside an already rushed game, while some don't even know it exists. Then there's me. And I see it as something else.

    Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate is the best Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate game, selling about 3 Battillion dollars. My favorite cutscene of this piece of art was when the Batman came in and said "It's battin' time" and you had to bat all over those guys. Both CZcams and Twitch exploded with so many streamers playing Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate, and the stream chats went nuts as well.

    For me the game is ok. I LOVE the alternate ending challenges, the camera, puzzles, and especially the ability it do the bosses in any order. It falls apart for me for 3 reasons. The combat witch is self explanatory. A repetitive story. We just had origins were blackgate was overrun twice doing it again was boring to me. Finally my biggest problem moving from place to place. The way you have to scan everything, constant traps, and generally clunky movement makes exploring tedious. Maybe this is because I went for 100% and got all the endings so I had to run back and forth more but it got really annoying. I don’t think it deserves the title of cash grab or bad game because it isn’t but I understand why some really don’t like it.

      @lukejennings1778 Před 2 lety +8

      I agree with all of this, but for me, the backtracking wasn't a big deal because the other games do it for Eddie stuff and I (mostly) love that part of the formula... and I love metroidvanias. I'll also add that the predator stuff didn't really click for me, either, so while Penguin, and Deadshot, are good uses of it, I just don't really like the way it was implemented. I also HATE Catwoman 2! I have, on more than one occasion, maxed out a file (having all collectibles, thusly having gone through all three story paths), but I can't beat her without using Blackest Night Batsuit. Once she uses the smoke bomb, consistency goes out the fucking window. The cues are broken, so it's more luck than anything whether or not you can counter her in that second phase...

  • @BaggyTheBloke
    @BaggyTheBloke Před rokem +81

    Watched this review a few times and I just now had a realization. The Grundy fight was definitely designed for Croc, and at the last minute somebody realized Croc is much smaller in Origins, so devs scrambled for another villain to put in his place. The only other big bois Batman deals with in these games are Bane and Grundy, and Bane was important to the story so they couldn't have him as a boss.
    Every boss fight has a 2D cinematic before it except Grundy
    Fight is underground in a sewer system, which usually is Croc territory, Grundy should probably be underneath the museum anyways, since I'm not even sure Penguin would have it at this point in time
    Like Puncher mentioned, electricity is his weakness, which should actually empower Grundy
    At the end he's just incapacitated and Batman leaves, also how he usually treats Croc since his lair is already in police custody

    I think price has a lot to do with why some people are less forgiving of this game. We're in the Golden Age of Metroidvanias and absolutely spoiled for choice with better games at the same or cheaper price, and Blackgate rarely if ever goes on sale too. Plus you can get pretty much any of the other Arkham games often with their DLC included for about the same price nowadays and they go on sale much more frequently. Blackgate is decent enough in a vacuum but when graded on a curve and especially when price is factored in it's not gonna be compared favourably. For what it's worth I think it's an a'iight game it's got some glaring flaws but nothing that completely ruined the experience and it is especially fun to replay, but when I can get Hollow Knight or Castlevania Symphony of the Night, just to name a couple far better Metroidvanias no matter how you slice it for 5 dollars cheaper I can't in good conscience recommend it to most people simply because it's value for money is lacking when graded on a curve, and can only recommend it to people who already own most other Metroidvanias or are complete Arkham fanatics who already have all the other Arkham games and even then I suggest waiting for a sale. It's sad because I do think the game deserves more credit even with all that being said.

    Having played it on 3ds, im not going to say it's great because it feels clunky often enough but I really like the concept of what is essentially a side-scrolling epilogue to arkham origins with a unique style for the presentation. I will say, I encountered a big error at the end of my game that prevents me from completing and that weighs it down heavily for me. Overall though, when it's working it ends up being pretty cool and unique given what they were going for.

    This game was designed for handheld consoles and that is a lot of the problem people have with it. This was actually the first Arkham game I really sank my teeth into, on the 3DS. The PC port on Steam has a lot of issues that aren't present on the 3DS version, but that still don't make it worth seeking out. One of the main issues I had was how difficult the environments are to see on such a small screen like the 3DS. On PC, the movement feels like the Scarecrow segments of AA due to the side scroller design.
    The Metroidvania style design is reminiscent of Arkham Asylum, but as your criticisms point out, it's rushed in design much like AO was and just feels like it's lacking that special touch. I think this game would've done better if it was designed more around a serious side scroller, instead of putting half of the combat system in and taking away other things from the main Arkham games. I would chalk up much of this to the limitations of handheld consoles.

    One problem i have is that theres a specific cutscene that doesnt count for the fact that the player can fight each main villain in whatever order
    Basically black mask and batman talk about how black mask is the last one standing, even though the order i played the bosses was Penguin, Black Mask, Joker
    Other than this slight oversight and the awful latency during the 3rd phase of the final boss that left me stuck on it for weeks, its a pretty solid game, i definitely enjoyed it more than arkham knight

      I love the Arkham games, but to call them revolutionary to gaming as a medium just isn't true. Counter based combat existed long before the Arkham games, most notably in Spider-Man 2 for the PS2. Hell, even detective vision was already a thing in the Spider-Man 3 game a full two years before Asylum came out.

      @@HOTD108_ he was right to call them revolutionary, because they were for the super hero genre in video games. BAA paved the way for all the super hero games we have today. It was more than a biproduct of movies coming out at the same time and it was the first to do it that well.
      However, all the Batman games are metroidvania. Asylum more than the rest.

    I played this game years ago and i liked it.
    I tryed 100% it but i had a bug that didn't allow me to do it, so i played it a couple of times and i enjoyed it even if i already knew the puzzles.
    The predators sections were fine and i never had problems with the fighting, but maybe this is just me beacouse i enjoy almost every mechanics the devs give me (even the ones that are bad).
    9/10 in my opinion.

    This is a great review that acknowledges a lot of the strengths this game had. I had more fun than I thought, especially since I initially only bought it to play a few skins. My only disagreement comes with the Penguin battle. It was a complete pain and probably the worst display of the game's attempts at stealth. I didn't know you could just take down the drones with explosives, though lol.

    EXCELLENT review, Bruv!!! SOooooooo...first things first.
    1) I bought this game ages ago & recently decided to give it a whirl (kinda tired of beating people up after 100%ing AK & NOT really digging Gotham Knights). I REALLY love "Bats" & have bought MOST of the games offered on Steam. Overall...ESPECIALLY after watching your review - I'm WAAAAAY more forgiving for what's on display. The game was marketed ORIGINALLY for the 3DS & PS Vita. Depending on who you talk to - those are HELLA underpowered portables in comparison to a 360, PS3 or a modest PC.
    2) Save for the (horrible?) combat - the "metroidvania" aspect of this game is a feature not necessarily a flaw...or possibly an underdeveloped one. Armature Studios is to be commended for developing a game concept from scratch, albeit with an asterix. Origins (original) came out in October 2013 - rough bout the same time Blackgate came out. Understanding that a Vita & 3DS wouldn't run (original) Origins, Amature adopted the "metroidvania" playstyle to keep fans engaged. Its works. But, the "undeveloped" part might be the map. I'm having a HELLUVA time 100%ing this game because of the map...🤬🤬🤬
    3) The Boss fights, (comic??) cut scenes & different endings are ALL welcome additions to the original concept. Of special note: after learning how to defeat the thugs while battling Penguin, I HELLA fell in love with this game!!! The comic panel cut scenes are REALLY endearing, considering we didn't live in a post Unreal engine 5 era back in 2013. Not seeing mouths move when there's voice coming from the characters on screen unfortunately "dates" a game. I haven't finished (complete) yet, but I'm TOTALLY geeked bout the different endings - depending on how the game was played!!! 🤩🤩🤩
    I agreed with (pretty much) most of what you said in your review & have a renewed respect for Amature Studios for this game. Additionally, I learned that several members from Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime fame) work on this game. It's shows AND for the most part it works. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
    The map & the hand-to-hand combat is 💩💩💩, dough...

    I didn't really care too much for the game when I tried it. Though, I do wonder why Bronze Tiger never showed up in anything Suicide Squad related after this game while Deadshot did.

    • @lukejennings1778
      @lukejennings1778 Před 2 lety +4

      the gadget you're talking about is _probably_ the Shock Batarang, because the game kinda expects you to do some of Joker's story before meeting Grundy. It's possible to beat him without that, but it requires a bit of juggling lol

    The whole 2.5D format the map used for this game (which I think was a mistake by the devs) was just really confusing and I found myself getting lost several times, making me end up watching youtube videos so I could find out how to get to the next spot.
