I’d have to disagree, Hugo strange does a lot in the background, when you do the riddler trophies you get tapes of strange talking to all the villains. He’s the one who tells two face where catwoman at the start, he uses mad hatter to get hypnosis tricks to control the Quincy sharp and he’s the one who gave Nora to joker and gave freeze to penguin. Also the message he leaves Batman at his parents crime scene is amazing

@@ThatBoyAqua Also, Strange also does stuff with Batman's identity. The reason he does not kill Batman immediately is that he needs him to be a part of Protocol 10. And in the bad ending where Catwoman escapes Arkham city with the stuff in Strange's vault, Tyger seizes control of Wayne manor and kills Alfred, Gordon, and presumably Oracle. So strange does take advantage with his knowledge of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Making him my favorite villain in the Arkham series.

@ThatBoyAqua3 жыл бұрын
@@Highonwater3X Yes. In COD you can shoot people through walls regardless of if you can see them. This is reffered to as a "wall bang". In Batman's case, the batarang can not in ideal conditions hit a target through a wall, hence why wall hacks wouldn't fix it. I'm sure there are some shooters in which some hacks allow you to shoot through walls when you could not before however in Modern Warfare, with certain attatchments on guns such as the AS-Val, you can shoot through 5 foot thick rocks without any cheats or hacks. Assuming you use a spotter grenade and see exactly where the person is on the other side.

I think the appeal of the story that makes it “best in the series” for so many is kind of the same reason that you (and others) didn’t enjoy it as much. The wild goose chase plot feels like a classic comic book story (like Hush (for example) in the way it kind of serves as a tour of the Batman universe’s greatest hits. It may not be the most interesting or provocative script but there’s a certain delight in being bounced between all these different characters and story beats that you already know while you’re getting to the bottom of the ultimate mystery.

Thanks for watching guys! I want to make a quick edit. Shawn S pointed out that Hugo had no intention of killing Batman but instead killing the legacy of the Batman. He also was obsessed with the dark knight to an unhealthy degree. This can be found out by listening to the many audio logs within the game. Also my joke about Harley Quinn having jiggle physics is just a joke. I don’t actually base my enjoyment of a character based on the size of their polygonal curves or sex appeal. I genuinely didn’t like Harley’s design in this game and it just had to do with the costume design. It was a mockery of those who will actually use Harleys sex appeal to explain why this game is good.

I get why you say narratively the story is weak, but I think the setting really helped sell the story, along with all the little pieces of lore in the arkham city stories you get from riddles. if this goose-chase existed in the entire city of gotham without the concept of arkham city then it sounds pretty lame. but since every supervillain is locked in a broken down slum with a finite amount of resources and control they can have it makes for a very interesting playing field to put batman and his enemies in. Yes, everything is a wild goose chase because Batman's been placed smack-dab in a mega-prison powder keg filled with extreme personalities all locked in together with their own conflicting agendas with so much happening in the background at any point in the story that make everything feel real. things DO happen outside of batman's perception because arkham city is such a sprawling, out of control gang warzone with a lot going on. besides everything he does to/with batman, joker is planning a breakout and steals nora from freeze. bane is lurking around collecting titan, deadshot and hush are going around killing their targets. penguin captures freeze and discovers a platoon of undercover cops in his gang. somewhere below the streets talia and the league are waiting to give ra's another trip to the lazarus pit. and the whole time while you try to solve all these things, you are being watched and studied. by strange, azrael, tyger, the league, and the riddler to some extent. this along with being trapped in a prison bring some element of creepiness that wasn't really present in origins/knight. you may be batman, but you're batman in place that's already way out of control by the time you arrive and is only getting more unstable. the way the story is told and played is less about the actual narrative points and more about the setting and how it affects both batman and his villains.

I also disagree with your complaint on the story being a “wild goose chase”. This is a completely subjective opinion so your missing nothing.

Free roam, no enemy levels--just learning how to fight, the characterization of Batman and his villains, the atmosphere, the awesome stealth rooms, the Riddler trophies that force you to perfect all of Batman's abilities (as opposed to Asylum and Knight, which largely just left them lying around) including physical abilities, the replayability, the alternate costumes, the campaign maps and challenges...it's like this game was made for me, specifically. I love to go back and replay the game with different' paths toward upgrades (sometimes not upgrading at all where it isn't required), and trying to gather all the Riddler trophies and challenges by memory alone, never looking at the map. I can't get enough of this world.

Because half of the main campaign you are forced inside the Bat tank which is the most unengaging thing in all the Arkham games. And the story rips off ACity but with horrible character writing and illogical decisions.

@@JonManArmy Literally I like Knight it's fun, but the story didn't do it. Sure they improved mechanics, but the story for Knight had problems. First why do they keep showing Jason getting tortured, then show the Arkham Knight as Jason Todd! It literally basically made everyone 100% sure it was Jason, and Rocksteady lied about it being a new character for the game. Another is the bosses, one of the worst parts of Knight, literally most are one hits or tank battles, the one that disappoints a lot of people was Deathstroke, as in Origins had one of the best boss battles in the Arkham series if not the best boss in the series with it feeling like a movie or comic fight scene, but in this it was just a tank battle then jump out of a vehicle and knock him out. Boss battles weren't even battles. Next, the Batmobile was over used, which I get because it was a new mechanic, but it was overused, with tank battle or charging think or chases, it just used way too much, but it was still fun for that Arkham Knight tunnle chase. That was really it for me, I still play it, but the story needed some work done to it.

Another problem I had with Arkham City's story was the lead up to the Mr. Freeze boss fight. Dont get me wrong the boss fight itself was spectacular but the narrative around it never made any sense to me. Batman saves Mr. Freeze from the penguin, gives him his suit, and has been working with Batman throughout the game in order to create a cure. Mr. Freeze finally makes the cure for Batman, yet because Joker threatened him with his wife, Mr. Freeze decides to destroy one of the two antidotes while asking Batman to go find his wife. That was so dumb because not only did Freeze know Batman was dying, but Mr. Freeze could've just given Batman the cure and Batman would've saved his wife anyways.I have to assume that Freeze has known Batman for years at this point, he knows how Batman operates and he's been working with him the entire time. It made no sense at all.

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double So it was better for Freeze to destroy the antidote in front of him knowing that it would cause Batman to try and stop him? He doesn't even try to come up with a compromise. Mr. Freeze has every reason to trust Batman at that point in time, and I have to assume he knows that Batman won't abandon an innocent person in need of help, hell Batman saved Nora in Arkham Knight and finds her in Arkham City anyways. But its just my grip with it, luckily the actual boss fight was good.
@RecklessBeast13 жыл бұрын
@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double “your grip does not take account the facts that Batman has never encountered anything like Arkham city” what does that have to do with mr freeze? Freeze is the one who destroyed the antidote and brought the fight to him, not Batman. I understand Batman has never encountered anything before Arkham city however it doesn’t make any sense as to why freeze did what he did. The end result was only for him to lose, attempt to give him the other antidote anyways (which Harley stole), and made Batman waste time. Batman saved mr. freeze, he gave him his suit, and he even let him work safely in the lab in order to come up with a solution to antidote, and Batman even saved Nora anyways afterwards. Why wouldn’t Mr freeze trust Batman at that point? It’s because the story needed him to act stupid so they can put in a boss fight. Like I said, boss fight itself was great, it’s just that the narrative around it was lame to me.
@RecklessBeast13 жыл бұрын
@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double Exactly, the thugs didn’t Kill her and Batman ended up saving her anyways. “So Batman couldn’t fucking steal and run away...” That would’ve only happened had Mr freeze threaten Batman to kill him, which he did. Mr freeze knew Batmans body was dying, and was physically unable to keep going without the antidote. Agree to disagree but I’m done arguing.

The only thing I'd have a disagreement on is the story being a "wild goose chase". I just think it's hard to call City a "wild goose chase" without asking what would Knight's or Asylum's story be deemed as then. The game still needs room to be a game in my opinion. Imagine if we got the cure right after we fought freeze or even before that. The game would've been so much shorter and it was meant to build to the tension of, for better or worse, that Batman may die. Or worse if Freeze was able to make the cure from the start we wouldn't have gotten the Mr. Freeze boss fight or even the Ra's Al Ghul which are at the top of the best in the series. Like you've said in your other reviews, you have to have a level of disbelief or otherwise the game won't be a game. For the sake of gameplay, the game may rush over some points or even extend them to provide more gameplay. P.S. Your videos are awesome man, keep doing what you're doing! And I totally respect your point and the way you back it up, good stuff!

I agree with you that the other game's stories are more or less chases too, but I personally find that Arkham City takes it a little too far. Not only do you end up having to travel the entire map multiple times (which starts to get boring), but overall I felt like most of the story was you getting the things you need to make the cure only to have it being stolen from you. You literally spend something like 50 minutes (or for me, 2 hours) playing the game to make the cure, so to have it be ripped away from you at the end of the process is really exhausting. Plus, Hugo Strange didn't really have a lot to do with the actual story (Like I said, most of it is you trying to make the cure), and because of that, he more felt like a another obstacle to me then a villain.

Great video, Aqua! You are an absolute inspiration. I'm struggling in school really hard right now, and I don't even have a cool video essay KZbin channel, lol I still consider Arkham City my favorite of the series, and I've played it more than any other entry, but recently every time I try to replay it I don't get very far before I get bored and put it down again. I think you're right about the narrative feeling like a bit of a goose chase which brings the pacing down. I think, objectively speaking, Origins is definitely an improvement, and doesn't deserve so much hate, but I think that when it came out, it felt like far too incremental of an improvement over City, and that's why it felt so disappointing. I still attest that the narrative in Origins is pretty unremarkable, and my best evidence for that is that I've replayed it twice (3 total playthroughs), and I never remember any of the story beats. I'm not sure what it is about that game, but it vanishes from my mind immediately after I play it every time.

I've beaten it more than 6 times, and it's the one I still want to replay to this day whenever I have an itch for more Arkham. I've played through Origins a handful of times too, and I never enjoy it as much as I enjoy City.

Calendar Man isn’t anybody’s favorite character in general anyway lmao

I think Arkham Knight is the best of the series. But I can see why people have many problems with that game too. Arkham City is really amazing. But there's just so many more features in Knight.

First of all, great video! You really do a great work with explaining these games and what you like and dislike. I noticed already in your Arkham Knight video, that you didn't realize Hugo Strange found out Batmans Identity through Ra's Al Ghul. Ra's Al Ghul of course knowing Batmans Identity and being the puppeteer behind protocol 10 told Strange about Batman I assume to use as a threat and as a plan B. Anyway, I am a huge Batman Nerd and Arkham City is my personal favourite video game of all time, so when I tell you, you did a great job, I really mean it 😅😁

Its said in the game that hugo found out about him by using psychoanalysis and finding who would be most likely the true identity

I think the reason why Hugo never really does anything with Batman's secret identity is that he views himself as Batman's succesor and wants to beat him fairly, and he did have a plan to have him killed in the form of Deadshot anyways just in case Protocol 10 fails
