[@azuresaiyan9005]

It amazing how similar the Arkham series and Nolan trilogy are from eachother. Arkham Asylum/Begins- Both were pleasant surprises and gave us the best superhero game and best superhero reboot Arkham City/Dark Knight- Considered the pinnacles of their series, and one of the best games and action movies of the past decade ArkhamKnight/Dark Knight Rises- The 3rd and final entries, which had so much high expectations. While solid, both did not meet expectations.

[@niconetwork_wickedninja]

Azure Saiyan what about Arkham Origins?

[@Hynotama]

Don't even joke about comparing the brilliant Arkham Trilogy with that Nolan trash.

[@imperfect_dan7519]

Rises was an amazing conclusion, arkham knight on the other hand, I can agree with u

[@Thenextworldwar]

From what I understand of the twist, it's the worst of both worlds. If you're familiar with the mythos of Batman, you will know who the Arkham Knight is about five seconds after he gets introduced. Thus, the twist has no impact. If you're not, you will not have a clue in hell who he is, even after the Arkham Knight is unmasked. Thus, the twist has no impact.

[@comaster2]

+Thenextworldwar IMO those predictable twists don't make the game bad. Don't forget Kingdom Hearts! Was it REALLY necessary to reveal the name of Disney's King and keeping him in the shadows only at the end of the game??? Yet... the game is awesome.

[@flamingrubys11]

I was familiar with batman mythos and i didnt even get it

[@ForrestFox626]

Pokémon & FF fan It is not a twist, but they treat it like it is

[@nejiiuyn]

@@comaster2 That one was actually due to legal issues. For whatever reason, Disney specifically asked Square not to directly feature Mickey in the first game, hence why he never appears until the ending cutscene and even then, he is still partly obscured.

[@TBrizzle01]

The Batmobile is not bad until you get to the Cloudburst fight and the stretch following that. (Looking at the Drill tank and Riddler's last track is frustrating.) I absolutely couldn't stand the Batmobile anymore after that. As for Batman himself, he feels great. But it is really hard multi tasking between all of the goons. It's pretty frustrating as well. All in all, Arkham City remains my favorite.

[@TBrizzle01]

Story was kind of blah as well. I thought the Arkham Knight would never go down. All he does is taunt you. I get it, you know all about Batman quit reminding me.

[@KidEDarus]

I'm still hoping that RockSteady can pull out an amazing SuperMan Game. Because lets face, the only game that superman was really good in was Injustice Gods among us.

[@ryangoldstrich7334]

Johnny, you made this my favorite game in the series by setting my expectations low. So, thanks.

[@JMandJJ7797]

I don't like who the Arkham Knight turned out to be either. I was hoping it would be a new villain what I would of done was have the Arkham Knight be Hugo Strange's son (either a legitimate son or a clone who got awakened after Protocol 11 was activated). And because of Hugo Strange's old ties with the League of Assassins his son goes to train with the same people that trained Batman. Hugo Strange's son wants revenge on the Batman for not saving his father. So we got a guy with knowledge of who the Batman is,an IQ as high Hugo Strange's,and has the same training Batman has had. That would been better in my opinion.

[@KidSnivy69]

Obvious Arkham Knight is obvious. The only reason I'm not spoiling it is because there will be a few people who don't know who him right off the bat.

[@NIneDJcali]

Who was the Arkam knight?

[@Zumabdeen]

+Jay M (JokerJay779) I know your feeling. I too wished the Arkham Knight was a completely original character. But still the game was great, at least for me.

[@JMandJJ7797]

***** Well who said the Arkham Knight had to be Eli Strange. It could be a son by a different name and it will be way better then who the Arkham Knight turned out to be.

[@Zumabdeen]

Jay M There were a lot of fan theories that would have been more better about the identity of the Knight. Then again, as games continue, its bound that something would be fail or not be as good, with Arkham Knight, its the story. As for the Batmobile: It is the thing that will either make you love the game or hate it. I loved the battle mode, though I can imagine for some it was a terrible idea. What did you think of the car?

[@Gwennerini]

Eh the Joker existed more for dispensing jokes, commentary and the occasional cutscene. He was pretty funny in this game though

[@RealWatermelonCat.]

Bordo The Schemester yea he was a good addition I liked the game more with the nostalgia of his voice in the back

[@tomstonemale]

He's kind of the worst addition and breaks the story's premise...but somehow he still has the best lines in the game.

[@AlexRN]

I wasn’t looking forward to Joker making a return but if he was going to come back this was the best way they could’ve done that. It brought some levity and “companionship” too. I never got tired of climbing some tall building only to find Joker waiting for me at the top nonchalantly. I liked it a lot.

[@danielvaughn1947]

I liked the dynamic, but it seems like I'm one of the few

[@GodOfWarConnoisseur]

That's your opinion lmfao you can't say what a character existed for in anything.

[@overkllassasin249]

[@Shade2800]

+John190 the homicidal maniac Yeah, me too, but I thought how they used him in this game WAS somewhat clever.

[@ChiefChegwin]

+John190 the homicidal maniac Yeah, everyone thought the joker was amazing in this game. Every now and again, there was cool moments but overall it felt like a cop out.

[@PhantomShadow224]

"I'm with you till the end and I can't stop laughing" (best part of the game for all those who know what I'm talking about.)

[@ChiefChegwin]

[@Zebbehog]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this. The "Lucius!? Answer to Batman!" always gets me

[@apollorock3r244]

12:40 I lost it at the inverted Batusi. XD

[@eyedyeoff1024]

Honestly my biggest problem with the twist is it isn't quite earned. I loved it in the sense that I know all about the characters, and I truly believed Rocksteady when they said he was a new character. So while I kept thinking of you know who, I kept also turning that possibility down. It allowed me to experience that twist the way comic readers got to when the original story was told. But the in game universe, doesn't earn it. We didn't grow to love him in the previous games, and we didn't experience his death. Therefore as far as the in game universe twist, it kind of relies on you knowing who it is and having read several comic stories featuring that character.

[@skirtingboard]

I actually think this might be one of my favourite games and the tank battles don't bother me although I can see why one would hate them

[@YuuMonMusuedo]

Not going to lie, this is my top Arkham games: Batman Arkham City Batman Arkham Origins Batman Arkham Batman -Batmobile- Arkham Knight So yeah, not a bad game, just lacking while putting in too much of some stuff. If that makes sense... Just too much Batmobile and lack of bosses!

[@blazingwaters7469]

+Yuu-Mon Musuedo Arkham Origins above Arkham Asylum? Be prepare for major shitstorms.

[@johnboko7110]

Yeah these Batman fans are ready to be prick heads.

[@jaretco6423]

Origins over Ayslum? Why?

[@S0LV0]

Weakest entry? Even weaker than Origins? D: ...Also, is that Samus in an Iron Man suit? OH.

[@YourFavoriteDakimakura]

I thought the only reason people didn't like Origins as much was because it was too similar to City? I guess tedious Batmobile segments are worse...

[@ChikaTakami]

+Punished "Venom" Sora I think I may have run into you before. x3 To me the Batmobile segments killed the game for me.

[@ChikaTakami]

Jes it is, I'm 99% sure it's from this website that had a couple of Metroid inspired shirts that I linked him to on Twitter. I think they were limited though and I never got to pick one up. ;-;

[@bobgalloway9226]

+Punished "Venom" Sora I didn't like origins cause they didn't fix a game breaking glitch so I couldn't finish the game so imo arkham origins is a terrible game

[@movingtonewchannel.8360]

+S0LV0 Eh, I guess, and yes; I actually have that shirt too and it's friggin' awesome! :3 For me, I'm mixed on Arkham Knight as a whole. There were things I liked (gameplay, graphical presentation, voice direction, batmobile (driving segments), Scarecrow's appearance, costumes and a few bits of DLC), things I didn't like (story, Arkham Knight's identity, relying on Joker for the upmtenth time, Joker never shutting up (I still love you, Mark Hamil), the other villains once again being an afterthought, annoying or padded out side quests that don't offer but so much, the fact that you have to get EVERYTHING done to get the true ending (yes there's a true ending), and the Batmobile Tank Battle segments), and...it all just came out as being a mixed bag. I in no way think this is a bad game, but...ultimately, I was a bit disappointed that it didn't live up to what I was hoping for. Scarecrow is a fantastic villain and that shows here! It would have been fantastic! But...after that coffee shop scene with the demonic creatures and the cop, that's...kind of where Scarecrow's presence starts to fall into obscurity and once again Joker becomes a central focus. We didn't NEED him here. I can understand exactly how people feel; especially, right after Arkham Origins did the exact same thing. Now, I can't say this was the weakest entry in the series, but it does come close. For what was to be the most epic Batman game, it...doesn't quite feel as epic as many had hoped; myself included.

[@The94Venom]

12:58 Still kicks out at 1.

[@MagicMaster667]

[@SQGReviewShow]

Can't wait until the GOTY edition of Arkham Knight comes out.

[@OmegaCoolsterDX]

+The Side Quest Gamer yeah im gonna wait too, considering PC Version is not even patched yet (and it's the only platform right now on which i can play nextgen titles)

[@CanterlotCrusader]

+The Side Quest Gamer I don't see this being a contender for GOTY. Maybe, premium edition. Fallout 3, witcher 3, and maybe Metal gear are the real possibilities so far.

[@OmegaCoolsterDX]

CanterlotCrusader GOTY means nothing in this day and age, games get GOTY whenever they feel like it (i mean GOTY in itself should only be awarded for one game yet so many titles get this it's not even funny)

[@EdgyZiggy]

[@joshgulisano1863]

Actually when you fully upgrade the Grapple Hook, when you use it you can actually glide faster then driving around in the Bat-mobile, especially because of the fact you're gliding over roof tops.

[@BootstheWM]

So, yes to this entire review. I thank you for being a REAL review unlike other reviews I've seen. I've seen other reviews. Some people reviewed the game before even finishing it. They missed some of the overall issues of the game and outright ignored them. This game was good, but it was still a disappointment.

[@BGOutOfService]

Arkham Asylum - Great Story, great gameplay and a great job showing Batman games can be awesome 9/10 Arkham City - Epic Story, refined gameplay and a magnificent soundtrack make this my favorite of the series 10/10 Arkham Origins - Retaining the original formula with a good story Origins is a good prequel game 8/10 Arkham Knight - Refined gameplay, great story and amazing graphics make this the perfect ending to the greatest superhero game series of all time 9/10

[@rafiqueshabbir9665]

I totally respect your opinion. Me personally though this game was amazing. I can understand why fans don't like the Arkham knight identity, but you have gotta admit, it was executed very well. I can agree that the batmobile was a little overused, in the tank sections and that boss battles were a dud, but overall you get a great personal story of batman fears coming back from the past, excellent gameplay, and the most difficult yet satisfying game yet. The last thirty minutes of main story, I was at the edge of my seat. Definitely my pick for goty this year!

[@ethanciotti9103]

The Batmoblie kicks ass and is my favorite part of this game. Not to mention that this game is WAY more open to what you can do in Gotham City.

Great review Johnny!

[@quehay45]

Man, your Samus T-shirt is awesome!

[@funcoolfunfun]

This might just be because I haven't played the other three games myself (having only seen the BSC playthroughs of the other two main games), but I honestly consider this to be the best game of the series. First off, the graphics are a lot more interesting to look at, and not just because of the system jump. It just has a more appealing color scheme overall. Second, the combat feels fun. Sure, it can get annoying at points, but that seems to be the case for the other games. Plus, the gadgets in this game seem more fun to use in said combat. Third, I actually felt really invested in the story, despite not being a Batman fan. I have the knowledge of some of his stuff, but it's mostly mainstream stuff. And the version I'm most familiar with is the one from the Lego Movie. Fourth, the Batmobile just feels great to use. I honestly don't mind the repetitiveness, since destroying the tanks is very satisfying. I also feel the need to defend some of the choices made: The frequency of using the Batmobile: While I feel that there's still quite a chunk of the game that doesn't involve the BM, I understand the decision. After all, this is the only game in the series where using it made sense, so naturally they'd want to show it off as much as possible. The Riddler stuff: Sure, collecting the trophies might get annoying, and the races DO get more difficult as you progress through them, but I think that was intentional. Because if getting to the Riddler was easy, beating him up wouldn't be NEARLY as satisfying. The Deathstroke "fight": While I haven't played Origins, nor seen any footage of it, I DO know that there's a fight against him at one point. And I also know that it's supposed to be a prequel to the rest of the series. The way I see it, that fight in this game was made the way it is to avoid cries of "It's the same, so it sucks". Plus, this game involves an older, more experienced Batman, so it would make sense that, once they're out of the tanks, Batman could take Deathstroke out in one hit. Needing 100% to get the "true" ending: Considering that this is the final game as far as Rocksteady is concerned, it would make sense that they'd want to end it with a bang. And what better way to do that than by having Batman lock up or incapacitate all of his major villains.

[@misbahtariq9659]

Wtf paly city origins and asylum you might think this is what batman is about but it's not they completely changed the formulae the original games set out play them to feel more invested (I love this game but I don't agree with your comment)

@@funcoolfunfun That's makes sense, but I think playing is different then watching. From a glance at all the arkham games I would get arkham knight. But I played through all of them and enjoyed arkham city the most. Not to say that Arkham Knight is bad, because I had much fun with it.

C'mon guys, Metal Gear. We need to hear his thoughts on some of the highest intellectual games made

[@k-leb4671]

I can't wait for the Mother marathon. The first game has always been a mystery to me because very few people talk about it.

Thank you, Johnny! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Glad to hear I'm not the only one you thinks that way about Arkham Knight. It's a perfectly fine game but, for the big epic finale of the Arkham Series, I think this game is a big letdown. The plot is predictable as hell (though the Joker's moments were the best thing about it IMO) and the gameplay is just fine for Batman but the drones battles with the Batmobile, while fun the first few times, become so fucking boring by the end of the game...and that's from someone who loves to blow shit up in video games.

I was luckily able to get the Premium edition half off a few days ago on PS Store. Best $19.99 ever spent. But in honesty, I love how the game was made. Even though the Joker did came back I didn't feel he was centered all that much. Yeah there were big moments during the Harley invasion, but the Joker actually made Batman feel more protective about everyone. Sure the Joker got a bit annoying cause he says things that really ruins the mood, but in the end he still plays a perfect fit. Continuing about the game itself, the tank battles weren't as bad considering I like the destruction and feeling like a badass, but those cobra tank parts doesn't deserve any credibility. The game gave a good creepy/scary feeling in a couple parts that made it enjoyable. In the end, Arkham Knight was, in my opinion, a great Batman game that should rival City.

[@callmejoe8594]

I agree. It's probably because I played the game after hearing about all the criticisms, but I ended up liking the game a lot more than I probably should've. I share similar feelings about the Joker and tanks ( fuck the Cobra Units). My only issue was with the Arkham Knight's reveal and the lack of hand to hand boss battles. It's currently tied with City and Asylum.

[@jrhamari]

I agree. While yes, The game isnt the best, I love it just for how dark it gets and Im not gonna lie, Both the fate of Joker and the ending are really sad.

[@jaretco6423]

Would u say it's better than Origin?

[@NicoTheCinderace]

I love the rain inside the office glitch. xD

[@macafromthewired]

I was in school when this was uploaded and when I took out my phone in lab to put on the timer, I nearly had a heart attack.

[@5carecrow94]

Honestly, I never ran into any glitches on the Xbox One.

[@RemixerUltimate]

Same.

[@SakuraAvalon]

+5carecrow94 Glitches vary by copy, actually. You can't really tell if the Xbox One or PS4 version is glitchier than the other without some wide spread test. I had a copy of Arkham City on PS3 where you couldn't get past the menu screen. Got it swapped for another copy and didn't have any glitches.

[@Errox025]

+5carecrow94 I played the PS4 version and I'm lucky enough to say I never ran into any of these glitches myself. Though, I have to admit, some of them are fucking hilarious

[@marcus7984]

+5carecrow94 only the stuck in invisible barriers a couple of times on the PS4 for me.

[@dylantrail8632]

arkham asylum 9/10 arkham city 10/10 arkham origins 8/10 arkham knight 10/10 Arkham Knights story was almost perfect if only Arkham Knight wasn't predictable. Retelling Jason's story was awesome and imo better than under the red hood comic. However it more than makes up with gameplay. I loved the Batmobile. If Batman can have a tank in the dark knight returns, and blow up vehicles, he can destroy other unmanned tanks. Also I loved the puzzle solving in this since that in Arkham Origins every puzzle was too easy. Then the Batmobile made more opportunities for puzzles. I understand if people don't like it as much as the others, but imo this game is the best

[@dylantrail8632]

*blow up vehicles in TDK trilogy

[@BHH71700]

+Dylan Trail Serious question how was the Kinghts identity obvious? I originally thought it was hush then he showed up in the game and then had no clue

[@dylantrail8632]

+TheRedJoka He called Batman an old man and the Death in the Family storyline was both altered and shoe horned in the story.

[@BHH71700]

Dylan Trail I never read the Death in the family storyline so that probably why I didn't know

[@callmejoe8594]

+Dylan Trail I'm also one of those who favored the game. I enjoyed the story outside of Jason Todd and my only gripe with the Tanks is that they replaced having real hand-to-hand boss fights.

[@imreadyreadygogo]

Origins had a fun storyline, some nice designs, cinematic scenes, and I really enjoyed some of the boss fights. I wish Arkham Knight had took some of their ideas with the boss fights. That Bane one where you're running and hiding is heart-racing.

[@HistoryGuru1234]

Oh my gosh the rain in the office was the best part!!

[@eliblast1220]

Johnny when you said this was the "weakest in the series", we're you counting Batman Arkham Origins.

[@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD]

+Naxiro Dark for me orgins has the best story. had no clue where it was gona go and seeing the ****** interact with bane and other characters was priceless. city had a weak story with protocal 10 bein just blow the city up...and hugo strange being criminally missused.

[@SonicAnimations101]

+Naxiro Dark Yeah... I was so upset with this game's story >:(

[@pyramidhead13579]

+Naxiro Dark The plot twist was alright, but it still made joker the main villain. Which a lot of people didn't like

[@pyramidhead13579]

Naxiro Dark He wasn't really forced. Batman never acknowledge's him and no one else can see him.

[@pyramidhead13579]

Naxiro Dark Yeah I know.

[@jdscanvas21]

Actually the big problem with games like these are the misconception of "bigger is better". Bigger world, bigger enemy variety, bigger move set, more gameplay styles. That doesn't always work. Bigger and bigger worlds sort of hurt the Arkham series. All the extra shit in the Arkham games gets tiring in Knight. If they were going to make the world bigger they should have had a better variety of side-quests. That's what makes most RPGs and open world games work. Not to mention I find myself agreeing with Johnny on how the Tank battles were not needed, and how there are a little too many enemy types. Keeping so many things in mind at once can get frustrating at times.

[@Yoshirocks92]

Ok I have to say the raining in the office glitch was freaking hilarious. XD

[@ShouAlias-io7ud]

I had predicted the Arkham Knight's identity before the game was released. I mean, seriously, there's only so many people in the Bat Family (tm). Not to mention, the Robin in Arkham City is Tim Drake, and since Nightwing is present, that meant that, yes, at some point Jason DID happen. At the very least Rocksteady managed to do more with him than DC can say they have. /eyeroll

[@hiddenflare6169]

Come on, admit guys, the only reason you guys want to vote for metal gear is because YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF GIYGAS' ATTACK!!!

[@darknightspider7495]

Damian Wayne should have been the Arkham Knight.

[@TheSonicfan91]

Exactly there would be so much motivation for Damian to try and kill batman

[@zandatsudragon8860]

I agree

[@TheSonicfan91]

goku super saiyan god you play batman? How do u have time when you are saving the earth

[@zandatsudragon8860]

I tell bills to wait 30 mins so I can play the game

[@MartianManHunter2258]

They never should have had Arkham Knight talk.

[@memesgalore3276]

I loved the tank battles! I really enjoy vehicle battle games in general, so it's probably just my personality. I don't know though, the fact that pretty much every tank is unmanned is kind of hard to believe. I still enjoy it for what it is though.

is that Samus aran in a hulkbuster on that shirt? Badass my man, great shirt.
