    On my second playthrough of this game, I remembered this video and it occurred to me that it would have been a great twist if it turned out that all the drones Batman destroys with the Batmobile actually had Militia members inside...or perhaps more tragically, the evacuated citizens of Gotham. Fuck all that shit Scarecrow was on about, THAT is how you break Batman.

      But that'd be a bit too bold... It may work in an elseworld story or something but when Batman actually kills people it ain't gonna make it to the normal timeline, even if the Arkhamverse is separate it's still a derivative of normal canon. Dunno man, if you really want a good Batman story check out the enemy within.

      Correct, only not everyone has seen that movie or is even aware of the Red Hood storyline. This is introducing it to a new genre with a potentially new audience besides diehard Batman fans.

      the second the Arkham Knight opened his mouth I was like "Jason Todd. It's Jason Todd." Because there was no way it couldn't have been Jason Todd. And lo and behold at the end of the story it turned out it was Jason Todd RIVETING
      So I spent the whole story annoyed that they were calling him the Arkham Knight, which was a fucking stupid contrived name made to fit it into the 'Arkham' naming convention. And that the marketing of the 'Arkham Knight' as '100% donut steel villain' was utter lies. And eventually you hear "Arkham" so many times that it loses all meaning.
      They already had "Batman: Arkham City" they should have just called it "Batman: Gotham City" and that would have been just fine. Then we would have just called it the Batman series and that's probably what it should have been called in the first place because when you have a title like Title Colon Second Title generally the first title is the _series name._

      I thoroughly enjoyed both the Penguin and Riddler quests because it gave me the dual combat system, which was much needed evaluation if the bam-ham formula, but it didn't really matter how fun it was because you only got to do it for like six occasions.
      The Two-Face quest wasn't particularly great to me, but I can at least see how fun it could be to perfectly chain the environmental takedowns to rack up combos on goons.

    • @TheXSCMx
      @TheXSCMx 9 лет назад +21

      Asa Skinner Actually, if you go to the GCPD HQ and look at the stuff in the Evidence Archive Room, you can see some of the weapons that the bad guys in Origins used, such as the Electrocutioner's gloves. So it kind of IS part of the Arkham Timeline. The reason why Batman and Joker have different voice actors in that game is because Origins is the first game chronologically, thus everyone is younger. Kevin Conroy is 59 and Mark Hamill is 63 so it doesn't make sense for a Batman in his late 20's/early 30's to have the voice of an old man.

    • @TenthSgtSnipes

    Your last bit about all the characters, not just the women, having a terrible time reminded me of Game of Thrones. People threw a fit when Cersei had her walk of shame as punishment for being a terrible person, but cheered when Theon was forcibly castrated for being a terrible person when he actually wasn't. Sansa gets raped, bad. Oberyn gets his face squashed like a grape, not bad. Pregnant woman gets stabbed, bad. Her husband gets shot by a crossbow, not bad. Is the suffering of the women somehow less acceptable than the suffering of the guys?

    • @fakjbf3129

      ***** The rape scene with Sansa didn't happen in the book, but what did happen was WAY worse. In the books Sansa's childhood friend Jeyne Poole is forced to pretend to be Arya so she can marry Ramsey and solidify his right to rule in Winterfell. When you next see her she has been beaten and tortured, with scars and bite marks on her breasts, and it's implied that Ramsey made her have sex with the dogs.
      So with that in mind, having Ramsey force himself on Sansa wasn't all that shocking. I hated that scene mostly because they had been building Sansa up into a force to be reckoned with, and I had hoped that she was going to take control of the honeymoon and consummate the marriage on her terms. Having her bend over and submit to him while crying just took all her character development from the past season and threw it out the window. She had already been abused by Joffrey, I was hoping she had learned from that and was going to be more proactive instead of being submissive. Instead she just let Ramsey abuse her as well. Frankly, that regression was even more demeaning than the rape itself.

    If Batman were a real person, he'd go down for murder 1 on every thug he's ever touched. It's called "beating someone to death".

    I bought this game for the PC like 3 years after release with all the dlc's in a bundle for like 12 bucks and I can't imagine how dull the main storyline would have been with the incessant overuse of tank battles if you couldn't break it up every now and then to go fight the mad hatter or something.

  • @Owlee_
    @Owlee_ 5 лет назад +8

    The bit about the empty city that Batman it just there for no fucking reason bit is kinda off - in the game it is explained fairly early on via the boring ass monologue (don’t blame you for ignoring them) that the ace chemicals building that you never go back to after the beginning was initially planned to cause a fear gas cloud big enough to cover all of the eastern coast of the US. The reason scarecrow gave everyone notice is to be able to remove all the civilians so they won’t be bothered by anyone and flood the islands with criminals to overwhelm the police force while Batman has to deal with that, the militia, and the entirety of every other villain running around. Scarecrow didn’t care about civilians running away cuz they would be hit by the gas cloud no matter what.
    The only issue I have with that whole plan is exactly what you sir have stated. Strap a fucker into a tank and Batman can’t do shit cuz it will kill him. Arkham knight shoulda killed Batman within the first 20 minutes with a helicopter instead of playing scare the big billionaire bat guy for the whole game. That along with just leaving civilians in so Batman can’t just go around destroying and blowing up shit with his literal fucking tank that can shoot a shitload of missiles.

      Strictly speaking Linux/Unix are related to Mac, and Microsoft for many years tried to get the term PC to only legally apply to Desktop's running it's own software. On top of the never-ending trend of deliberately fleecing their users for every penny they've got.

      jonn smith Yes but when you put traditionally strong female characters, such as Catwoman and Ivy, into the damsel in distress trope even I have to call that as being BS. Ive would of used either some plants to knock out guys and get away or pheromones to control them. As for Catwoman her character is established as being quiet intelligent so she never would of fallen for the whole "I have a job for you" crap from Riddler.

    • @bonnie1020a
      @bonnie1020a 9 лет назад +2

      Ivy never really was captured. She knew she would survive the fear gas and batman didn't even know she was captured at all. Catwoman is intelligent, but Riddler didn't have an obvious reason to go after her, so she likely didn't expect the betrayal.

    • @legion999

      legion999 Lets see... I count three female main characters get captured and are then saved by Batman (Ivy, Selina and Barbara). I count five main male characters that are captured in the game(Tim, Jason, Dick, Gordon and Bruce). Now Batman did not save himself; Catwoman saved him and considering he is the primary main character. The percentages are 37.5% female to 62.5% male. Yeah, no.

    From what I've seen a lot of people were the most mad about the fight with [SPOILERS] since it's essentially a repeat of the fight with the Arkham Knight tank but me personally I was most disappointed in the Riddler fight. That should've easily been one of the best fights in the whole series since the setup takes the entire game and should've had some creative element akin to the Mr. Freeze fight in City. Alas that didn't happen.
    On the other hand this game has some of my favorite voice acting in the series (which sets a hell of a high bar) with Pyg so I guess there's give and take.

Did I mention it's just fun?
