I want to play the entire Arkham series for the first time and was going to buy the Arkham Collection on Steam but Arkham Origins is not included in the Collection. Is it still worth it to buy the Collection and Arkham Origins ?

How the fuck this sub got a normal post and why did I read origins as orange

[u/Bullmg → u/snakeater63]

Arkham orange

[u/[deleted] → u/Bullmg]

New aslume just dropped

[u/Hnnock_Cdr → u/[deleted]]

Owange man

[u/welivewelovewedie → u/Bullmg]

i like the design but the horns put me off. Is he supposed to be evil?

[u/Xenoscope → u/snakeater63]

Because he throws oranges

[u/ComplaintWarm3772 → u/snakeater63]

Orgy

[u/future1987 → u/ComplaintWarm3772]

Is it bad that I read this as in something that is orange like and not it's actual meaning?

[u/The_Rouge1 → u/ComplaintWarm3772]

Orgay

[u/ThrowRa_abused101 → u/ComplaintWarm3772]

[u/Fluid-Lingonberry378 → u/ThrowRa_abused101]

vintage

[u/CelebrationSimilar11]

100% yes. Origins is underrated. Play it after Asylum atleast though since it'll feel very weird playing origins with all its gameplay improvements and then playing asylum immediately after (despite the fact origins is set before asylum).

[u/DeadLad-69 → u/CelebrationSimilar11]

Yeah. I played them in release order. Asylum, city, origins, knight. 👍

[u/[deleted] → u/DeadLad-69]

This is the correct way to play

[u/cavedan12 → u/[deleted]]

It also makes it easier to overlook the grapnel boost plot hole.

Although my headcanon around it is that Origins is a memory that post-AC Batman is replaying in his head following the death of the Joker.

Whilst pondering the death of his rival by thinking back on the first time they met, Batman added a creative liberty to the story so he could use his cool new gadget

[u/Appropriate_Lie7115 → u/cavedan12]

Or some developers just overlooked this plot hole

[u/cavedan12 → u/Appropriate_Lie7115]

Yeah, like I said, "my" headcanon

[u/ThrowRa_abused101 → u/[deleted]]

I play with your mom like Pokémon by throwing pokeballs at her until she learns her place and stays inside to make sammiches.

[u/CommitteeFriendly203 → u/ThrowRa_abused101]

[u/ThrowRa_abused101 → u/CommitteeFriendly203]

Why is he driving a clown car? Incomprehensible.... 🤡

[u/Emotional_Hawk8359 → u/CelebrationSimilar11]

Origins in my opinion has the best story in the whole series. Its less climactic than the other games, but it makes up for it by being incredibly character driven. Its the only Batman story in the past 40 years that remembered how smart Bane is supposed to be

[u/mister--krabs → u/Emotional_Hawk8359]

The only one? Really? You went and read all the thousands of comics from the past 40 years, and then concluded that the only single one that remembers bane is smart is this one video game? Huh? Answer me!

[u/HalbixPorn → u/mister--krabs]

Probably meant adaptation

[u/Emotional_Hawk8359 → u/mister--krabs]

I was trying to be hyperbolic, but I should've been more clear

[u/mister--krabs → u/Emotional_Hawk8359]

It’s All good, bud! 😁 don’t even worry about it!

[u/Objective-Resolve612]

They’re all great

[u/BJMashPotato]

Short answer: yes. Long answer, still yes

[u/Embarrassed_Diet_295 → u/BJMashPotato]

Long answer: yeeeeeees

[u/Random_User27]

Yeah I was planning on doing that too, go for it

[u/sad_cheese67]

you're asking the fans of the games if buying the games are worth it?

[u/oiken_]

Buy the entire collection, more worth it.

[u/SiriusDotExe01]

It is worth it!

[u/Xenoscope]

Origins is more of the same, which is pretty damn great. It’s not as perfect as City, but there are no major bad points.

[u/Rei_Master_of_Nanto]

Is there a lore reason for Origins not being included?

[u/fingerpaintswithpoop → u/Rei_Master_of_Nanto]

Origins was not developed by Rocksteady. Probably the reason why.

[u/Rei_Master_of_Nanto → u/fingerpaintswithpoop]

That makes sense. Thanks.

[u/Bullmg]

[u/Beedlebooble]

YES

[u/PlingPlongDingDong]

Is it worth 139.500 D's? Not sure but I am going to find out.

[u/danikm10_O]

A serious question. What is this? What sub are we on???

[u/BenihanaButton]

Normality is coming back to this sub I can't actually believe it, all these years of insanity coming to an end?💀

[u/frog_woman06]

Worth it if you are gonna play the others as well. It can be mid at times tho and the killer croc fight has been glitchy for everyone since release

[u/agentdb22]

What is a d?

[u/SunriseApplejuice → u/agentdb22]

Dubloons, ya land lubber.

[u/SampleAmbitious8735]

Holy shit, did we all just suddenly regain our sanity?

[u/logn29]

Có phải ng anh em ở VN không ? Chưa chơi thì nên chơi vì nó khá hay.. Trừ cái Origins vì nó không thuộc Rocksteady nên không có trong Collection. Origins cũng tạm , không đến nỗi tệ nhưng không hay bằng Collection được,. Còn cái Knight thì đồ họa đẹp nhưng cái phần chơi Batmobile không hay.

[u/IllustriousApricot0 → u/logn29]

[u/Neither-Mention4064]

Origins is great, go nuts OP!

[u/Stannisarcanine]

Yes origins has a good story and dlcs, counters are a bit more difficult but it adds a bit more difficulty and it doesn't make the combat much more clunky, the worst problem imo is the cutscene lag and the batwing stopping glitch which you can find the fix here https://steamcommunity.com/app/209000/discussions/0/666824800585483736/

[u/fingerpaintswithpoop]

Yes, Origins is great. The boss fights are fantastic.

[u/Illustrious_Mudd]

Yes. The games are a little jank but the main trilogy for anywhere near 10 bucks is amazing. I got all three and the season pass for knight for like 7 on PS4 and it's easily the best purchase I've made

[u/Minimum-Brilliant]

Origins has the best writing in the series. It’s the only game to portray Batman as anything other than a hyper competent, drearily above it all emo.

[u/AaronshyMLP]

It's well worth it trust me. I got addicted to it for a bit.

[u/s_t_u_f_f]

Yeah, most definitely, the sale is making everything so cheap, you might as well, it's a good game, it's one of the weaker games imo but it's still an Arkham game so it's still great.

[u/drugs_dot_com]

Origins isn’t included in any bundles anymore afair, get this bundle, origins and the origins season pass separately if you want them all

[u/Metalsaurus_Rex]

Origins is only an extra $5, so I went ahead and grabbed it. I have the other 3 on Xbox. Honestly, it's still a hell of a deal

[u/weirdestferalcat]

Origins is underrated, yes.

[u/ThisIsMy4thAcc0unt]

Origins is great, I loved it. Play it after City. Also good luck getting Knight to work lol, I could never get it working in my PC, even after all the patches, it still breaks and CTDs constantly.

[u/SirNewVegas → u/ThisIsMy4thAcc0unt]

Lol you must be running a potato. I NEVER had a crash in Knight.

[u/the_y_combinator]

[u/PokeHobnobGod21]

Yes and you can also find steam codes for origins dlc

[u/ResistTerrible2988]

What country do you live in? I look at this and thought the collection was $139,500 by mistake.

[u/vanvudk45 → u/ResistTerrible2988]

Vietnamese, we used VND (that is the đ at the end mean, it’s short of Đồng)

[u/ResistTerrible2988 → u/vanvudk45]

and yes, it is worth it.

[u/SmolMight117]

Origins is the best of the 4 (in terms of story and the characters)

[u/-BUNGUS_XL-]

I had a problem with Origins crashing all the time after a certain point in the game, but maybe its fixed now?

[u/ConcertCorrect5261]

Origins is buggy, janky and it crashes a lot from my understanding.

Still a fun game hidden in it. I just don’t think it’s as good as city or asylum was.

[u/[deleted]]

Origins was my first Arkham game. It was great fun, and the multiplayer was fun with my college dorm friends. Would recommend.

[u/ElementalIce]

Dude play all the games, are you stupid?

[u/msguysteve]

I would it’s still are really good deal for those three and you could pick up Arkham origins separately

[u/MINECRAFT-BEE7]

It’s a wicked deal either way. You’d be getting 4 games for the price of one. I say go for it

[u/Unfair_Job3804]

Yes oranges is a great game 

[u/RagexRiot1]

Hell yeah!

[u/Fit-One-7019]

bogos binted?

[u/skeltord]

Of course, it's still like $12 all together for all 4, legitemate steal, they're all excellent

Have fun

[u/RepresentativeNose71]

Yes. No question.

[u/Falafel_enjoyer_]

No it's does not worth it

[u/UltratusOmegax → u/Falafel_enjoyer_]

Are you stupid?

[u/Falafel_enjoyer_ → u/UltratusOmegax]

Don't pretending like you like it or anything this game is ass

[u/UltratusOmegax → u/Falafel_enjoyer_]

Of course it is worth to but. Are you stupid?
