19:35 what's funny is that this happens no matter what. the tip it gives is to "tilt the mouse", something that is intentionally impossible for a game to pick up on. in the ps3/360 versions of the game, the tip is to use the middle stick, something that doesnt exist on either controller since there are only two 😂
The hint about using middle stick is present on PC as well if you play on controller. The joke doesn't really land when using mouse (despite the hint adapting).
I think you have to remember this game came out in 2009. It was peak at the time. The fighting and sneak mechanics were something not a lot of games had at the time and the story was one of the better ones as far as Batman goes. There really weren't a lot of games back then that could hold a light to this one and this game led a bunch of others to try and replicate it, most which failed. It was also a huge bonus for Batman fans because you were able to see so many different characters just in one game. As someone else said, the mechanics and story are better in the later games, so I hope that's something you look into in the future.
Batman actually has a couple shap shifters in his rogues gallery. Clayface, and Falseface. The one in the cell there is Clayface. It threw me off the first time I played through the game too at first, but then I put two and two together when he shifted to Gordon. Arkham City is the next game in the series and by far the best of the games imo. I hope you do try it out. It's a massive improvement on this one as you're not nearly as restricted in terms of locations, and the story is bigger. Fun Fact: If you get the Riddler trophiesand solve the puzzles in this game the Riddler contacts you to taunt you every so often. Get most of them and Batman triangulates where Riddler is hiding in the city and sends the cops to arrest him.
I really hope you try out Arkham City, this series originated and advanced a lot of cool game mechanics that most comparisons you made in the video got the idea from this game, and as those games made adjustments and improvements to those systems, so did this series. I guess a good comparison of the leap from Asylum to City is liie the leap from the first Assassin's Creed to the second. ALSO if you do ever play the others, throw batarangs at the teeth next time, they're a little collectible to get extra ability points
The combat is a rhythm based system. And to do it properly, it requires a gamepad! (Fight me) So, 1st move: Choose goon, press in his direction, press punch. You have the time it takes until that attack connects to choose your next target and attack. As soon as the punch connects: 2nd move: Goon chosen, press in his direction, press punch. Or flip, or dodge, or use a gadget. Just line a rhythm game the higher flawless "streak" (well timed attacks that don't miss without getting punched back in return) gets you more points, points mean prizes (XP, health restored) Once you get it, yes wonderful, it really is violent dancing.
There's actually three more: Arkham City, Arkham Origins, And Arkham Knight. Arkham Origins is kind of like the prequel, but a lot of people consider it the best in terms of boss fights.
Yea I was lowkey a little surprised cause these videos are peak. I got recommended the Portal 2 video just yesterday and have been binge watching them since.
There’s technically 5 Arkham games in total. Arkham asylum, city, and knight are the main ones. Origins is a prequel that is and isn’t connected. And origins: Blackgate was originally on the ds and PSP and isn’t canon but I still like it for what it is.
There are 3 more Arkham Games, Arkham City, Arkham Origins (A Prequel to the Arkham Universe, ARKHAM ORIGINS HAS THE BEST BOSS FIGHTS IN THE SERIES BAR NONE!!!), Then Arkham Knight is the conclusion to the Arkham Series.
Doesn't take time to learn the combat system, keeps dying and complaining about the combat system. "All you can do is is attack and block". Like wtf? Lol. Complain about the combat but then complain when a boss fight is not all about the combat. You are overly cynical, don't bother knowing or learning the lore, and talk trash about a game that got almost everything perfect. Being a "modern day" game snob is not attractive.
the shape shifter pretending to be Gordon and the Warden is clayface. hence why he had no bones in detective vision

It’s also intentional. It’s telling you you could have done something you couldn’t have because it’s unavoidable and playing with your expectation.
The hint about using middle stick is present on PC as well if you play on controller.

it's not just 'one of these' it's the ORIGINAL 'one of these'

The next game has significantly vetter boss fights and an overall better story

Aaaaaand, if you don't get this down pat you're going to have some frustrating fights in Arkham 2 & 3.
Which absolutely must be played! 🤤🤤🤤
22:03 "All you can do is Attack and Block"
*_DUUUUUUUUUUDE_*
😂😂😂😂😰😭😭😭😭
There's *_SO_* much more than that!!

Bro your videos are so well made, why don't you have way more views 🙃

“It’s one of these game”?!? Shadow of Mordor was a messy copy of the Arkham combat.
lol, are there any other games with the same combat system? Either way, the combat has the same general principles
@@ThroarbinGaming The Spiderman games copied it too
There’s also Mad Max
@@ThroarbinGaming The combat makes much more sense if you think of it as a rhythm game.
@@ThroarbinGaming lol The Arkham games are were the origin of this style of combat. It was revolutionary in its day.
You gotta play Arkham City next, it’s a huge improvement from this game
Officer Boles
My favorite of this series is the last one, Arkham Knight. I really hope you get to it at some point

Angry red panda plays Batman 🤯
Another great video btw👍

there's also blackgate origins and suicide squad
@@KatRocks007 Sushhhh.......We don't talk about that 2024 game 😶
Maybe controller.
Really goog video 8.5/10
Love that I'm getting a ranking now
@@ThroarbinGaming only for second channel
I subscribed because the the goose :)
oh no, not the goose! XD

Batman is not a super hero, he is only a hero. Super refers to the "Super" powers.
So the guy who can fight a dozen supervillains plus a hundred thugs in one night without getting tired is ordinary?
@@oreohunter7798 Yep, his super power is being rich, in shape, and knowing martial arts.
