[@onerandomdude4015]

wow good timing

[@legoking6165]

Funny.

[@KingGhidorah5464]

seeing as Hugo Strange was advertised as the main villain of Arkham City and Joker ended up winning Character of the Year, it didn't surprise me that Joker did the same to Black Mask in Origins. Still, I think what they got right over its predecessors was boss fights. Arkham City had a few hits like Mr. Freeze and Clayface, but with Origins I felt accomplished taking down bosses like Deathstroke, Bane, Deadshot, Firefly and Copperhead. Even when the bosses were just NPCs like Anarky, Black Mask and Shiva, I took great pleasure in laying the smackdown on them like I did NPC Joker in Arkham City.

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

Deathstroke's boss fight in this game was fun once you knew what you were supposed to do, despite basically being a long quick time event and then spamming the attack button. Blows the Arkham Knight encounter out of the water.

[@cristianlopez_8486]

Leopold Litchenstein Yeah. I was extremely disappointed with the Deathstroke "fight" in Arkham Knight. At least in Origins, it was a hand-to-hand boss fight that was satisfying.

[@Fatboyftw32]

Honestly I would've liked the story better if Bane was pulling the strings or something I mean he might as well of been the main antagonist anyway since frankly joker doesn't really do anything in this game, he shows up, has a bromance moment about batman, then gets the ever living shit kicked out of him.

[@toondude78]

That flat No. Batman gives to the criminal is so fucking funny,

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

13:31 At least the Adam West costume is in the PS4 version of Batman: Arkham Knight.

[@YuuMonMusuedo]

I've played Batman Arkham Origins first, it was really amazing. Never played a Arkham game in my life. Then I got my hands on Arkham City after beating Origins, and it was just so much more better. It felt like a upgrade to Origins, which is weird. But I still feel Origins is still good and got both of them. But I find myself playing Arkham City more.

[@DKFProductions]

I just don't understand how batman has pretty much every gadget from Arkham City when this game takes place before Arkham Asylum.

[@Altar360]

I think the in-universe explanation is explained in City itself, when Batman asks for the line launcher. Alfred asks why doesn't Batman just cary everything in a bigger belt. Batman's response: "Too heavy, slows me down". Weak explanation I know, but there it is

[@DKFProductions]

Altar360 that makes sense.

[@DarkSpineShadow343]

I remember seeing an interview awhile back where a guy basically said it wouldn't be as fun without all the gadgets he had in the last one.

"Jingle bells, Batman smells" refrence to the Batman: Animated Series

[@monstersociety3360]

Look, I know the comment I'm responding to is super old at the time of this reply, but I feel like responding anyway. The episode of Batman: The Animated Series you're thinking of wasn't where the "Batman Jingle Bells" song came from. By the time that episode had come out, Batman Jingle Bells was already an old cliche that had been around since AT LEAST the 1960's. By the time that episode had debuted, it was already an old song, and the Joker singing it was actually a reference, rather than where the song came from. If you're interested, here's an article that tells the short history of the song Batman Jingle Bells: www.cracked.com/blog/the-secret-true-history-jingle-bells-batman-smells/

Thanks for telling us where to skip to in order to avoid spoilers. I just got this game for Christmas, and I really wanted to see the story for myself.

[@actionvolcano]

havnt seen this review yet, but im just saying this: I dont get the extreme hate for this game. I actually really liked it. I liked it the same amount I liked City. (Asylum is still my favorite, not because the others are bad, but the claustrophobic almost feeling of it really stood out for me) The main complaint i hear about origins is Joker is too dark, and while he is dark, i like this version of Joker better. its closer to the comics version. Plus the new voice actor did phenomenal, he sounded just like a younger version of the Mark Hamil Joker.

[@actionvolcano]

Plus the story line was beyond epic and in my opinion well written.

[@Lacoste9277]

actionvolcano I found the story had the player or at least more into the game then CIty or the first one. The part where bane knows who batman was had me intense.

[@actionvolcano]

This is my first Arkham game and what an introduction it was, I remember my dad coming home from the library with the Wii U version of the game and I was excited to pop it in and play it after it updated

They had a great "Megaman" theme going on with the 8 bosses. But they had to ruin that,didn't they? So close to having Joker be Doc Willy. :(

[@Meteorlink]

i kinda imagined a 2D batman that throws a ton of batarangs ( maybe a few melee-hits like zero from the X series)... goddamnit, i don't think i can forget that anytime soon

[@SabeNo-rh7mb]

Or like how the ongoing "Feud" between humans and reploids plot is completely undermined by Sigma being the villain for every game that's not X6 or Command Mission.

[@GuitarAnthony]

I think the main reason they were able to push it out so quickly is that Rocksteady pretty much gave WB Montreal all the AA and AC assets to use.

[@tomthedude9619]

you know what i hate in videogames is when they make a prequel and they make a main person die but since you know that they are alive because of the orther games in the series

[@brawlmaster012]

Johnny, don't beat yourself up over this being late. Yesterday was Christmas! Nobody should have to work on a holiday!

[@wwetitle818]

Great review as always Johnny, but you forgot something: In the game, you can complete certain missions to further upgrade yourself and get a higher % completion. These missions include the Predator missions, which often include predator encounters, which are segmented into the story. However, this causes one major flaw: if you go through all the predator encounters without completing these missions, which you often do because you're more than likely to not be focusing on them, you can't get them. What a serious fuck up, but on the plus side, that's the biggest technical fuck up in the game, and it can be moderately remedied if you go out of your way to do them in the story.

11:18 That sounds very similar to Lego Batman 2, where you not only have access to teleport to any vehicle spawn location whenever you want, it also gives you the ability to hunt down one of the villains which you can later buy after defeat upon activating the vehicle spawn location.

[@thatssomegoodpie]

I actually really REALLY liked Arkham Origins, I'd say it's my favorite out of the arkham series. I wasn't really into Arkham city and while Asylum was great I really had the most enjoyment with Arkham Origins. Stupid that I bought it on pc cause I allready had the other games for 360 so now that kinda ruins the collection :p

[@ppgranja3]

I feel the same way dude! The combat was better, the side missions were more interesting, overall I had way more fun with Origins. Its definitely my favorite game on the series....

[@Nerom99]

+RubberDucky I'm not shitting on your opinion ( I honestly find arkham origins to be a very worthy sequel myself), but I'm just asking why weren't you as into Arkham Origins as Arkham City. I'm not saying that in doubt of AO's quality about how it's very similar to AC.

[@thatssomegoodpie]

+CallmeJoe I don't know what is was about Arkham City, I just didn't like it. The story didn't appeal to me, the atmosphere the open world gave didn't feel right, it was a very small map on top of that and just everything felt disconnected. Also it ended with a terrible final boss fight... I felt like Origins had a far better tone than city. Arkham City was not what I expected to see after Arkham Asylum, it's not big enough to be deemed an open world game and it's not small enough like Asylum to be deemed more of a level selection hub.

[@Nerom99]

Between you and AVGN, you have the better chops to do it. Happy New year Johnny!

[@1cioda]

I think this story would have been better if instead of joker, they made it the red hood (who is joker before he fell into the chemicals) and had this game be an origin story of the joker. Like if the red hood was the one In charge. And at the end we see him fall and become the joker.

[@crono3015]

cioda That may have not worked, seeing how Red Hood isn't as cunning or brave as Joker.

[@1cioda]

true but it would have made more sense with the title. maybe not red hood. but it could have been like the movie "Batman year one" something other than joker again. he is great and all. but it would be a nice change of pace.

I love Origins a lot. City is still my preference (being the first Arkham game I played and I feel like it had more to offer as far as a total package goes), but Origins was underrated in my opinion. It definitely had some issues but I think the boss battles are the best so far. The Deadshot battle in City was absolutely pointless and he actually felt a little threatening in this game. Definitely pumped for Knight this June.

Shouldn't Troy Baker have done all he could to sound like Hamill considering it's the same iteration of the character? If it was a different universe, I would also complain that he's just copying him, but since this takes place before Asylum and is the same version of Joker, I think it's fine

The only thing that disappointed me was that this was yet another "Batman v. Joker" story. Batman has one of the best and well-known Rogues' Gallery, but they insist on dragging Joker out. Black Mask as the main villain would of been great. and the assassins should of all got equal time and relevance to the plot. Deathstroke, despite being on most of the promotional material and hype, as a boss in the earliest parts of the game and only showing up near the end was a huge mistake.

someone asked what the game play would be then added a joke whihc was "paying taxes" which showed they haven't seen enough of the shows. He goes out in various disguises to do information gathering or to infiltrate and manipulate groups of thugs in some of the shows. there was also the time where he' had to meet an old rival without the cape and cowl such as in the confrontation with Kyokai Ken in TAS. or the time where he had to give up his cape and cowl in the TAS episode "The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy" so there's plenty of scenarios where being cowlless would add a new spin on game play especially if there were more than just thugs everywhere all the time.

[@tgsachris]

The last of us... I dont see why it gets so much praise

[@tgsachris]

Mal Nexus Inovative? Innovative? Are you shitting me? did you even play this game ?it is by no means innovative, just new, You people are so blinded by your hate of the direction of the RE series and your stupid desires for the PS3 to have a decent exclusive you will just praise it for nothing. Lets start from the top, arguably the most important part of the game, gameplay. Stealth kill zombies. I've NEVER seen that before, and it has plenty of glitches, they aren't game breaking but they aren't hard to find or fix, companion AI is brain dead, and enemies are fucking stupid and cheap as hell at times seemingly knowing exactly what you are about to do and ducking before you can shoot them, moving somewhere where you can get a good stealth attack without revealing yourself, and so on. Well acted? I could do that, its not hard to act like a complete dickhole. I get it, the world ended, and? Am I supposed to hate the characters? Excluding the two little girls who had some life to them, but even then not much, and one dies in the first 20 minutes. otherwise they all sound bored as hell half the time and mad the other. The story is sooooo generic, I couldn't care less what happens to any of these people, especially since I already know 2 minutes in. She is going to die, she is obviously infected, he doesn't give a shit or love anyone but will learn to care as the story goes on. And it would help if they didn't spoil everything with their stupid ads too. It looked nice, so did GTA 5 and pretty much every other game coming out since then, Its not that great. Explain to me, go ahead explain, what about any of this game is innovative? What about it deserves a 5 star rating? Can you do that? I bet you cant since none of the other fanboys of this game could. You just say, "something must be wrong with you." As if that means shit. Give me a reason to care about this game. I dare you. But Ik you cant, you will just say something along the lines of "Fuck you this game is great" like everyone else. and I want to make clear to, despite all that, I dont hate this game, its not bad, but it by no means deserves all the praise. You people are acting like its a gift from God, like no game has ever been like it before. Hell I can stealth kill people in a similar fashion in assassin's creed, its not new.

[@PMar797]

Mal Nexus Yeah, The Last of Us is definitely beautiful and well-written. But innovative? I don't see what it does that stands out in terms of gameplay, other than being a unique mashup of stealth and third-person shooting. The AI was pretty bad and the "ladder-finding" was annoying. Great game, definitely, but calling it Game of the Year is pushing it (though it does deserve at least a nomination), and one of the greatest games of all-time is going too far.

[@tgsachris]

PMar797 I dont think it even deserves a nomination, actually I cant think of many games that came out this year that didn't suck so I guess average will be 5 stars from now on, one more reason not to buy next gen.

[@PMar797]

tgsachris Dude, honestly you don't have to act like a dick about it. I agree The Last of Us is getting too much praise and it can annoy me sometimes, but it honestly is a pretty good game. The characters are quite dynamic and you can see them evolve overtime. Joel was just acting like a dick because he didn't want to deal with Ellie after his daughter died. Later on, though, he really takes care of her like she was his daughter, which is accentuated and well-shown by the writing. Graphically, it looks very nice, but not incredible/amazing/revolutionary. But the gameplay, you do make a point. The game is a bit glitchy, the AI is bad and the stealth can get on my nerves because when Joel takes cover, Ellie can be running around and can get caught. Overall, great game. But 10/10? I don't think so. I think about 8.5-9/10 is enough.

[@GamsterLifeComms]

Johnny, we whole-heartedly encourage you to go out to Gamestop, pick up a copy of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Wii U, sit down, spend quite a bit of time with it, and then review it. We remember what you said about the game's initial impressions on you, and we can tell you that almost everyone who becomes a fan says that at first. The demo for the game is possibly the worst demo made to represent any good game, as all you do in the demo is hunt 2 monsters (a laughable one and a very cheap one, at that, and almost all of the weapons and armor are pretty horrible). True, the game is called "Monster Hunter", but there is sooooo much more to the game than just hunting; most would even say that hunting is something you don't even do 30-50% of the time! It's a game that really delivers a great feeling of satisfaction as well as progression, and we really think you should try the full experience. You should ignore the demo (aside from in order to get used to the controls and find out which weapon suits you best) and go buy the game at Gamestop since a new copy of the Wii U version (which has online) only costs 20 bucks. ---------------------- Johnny, that was a LOT to read, but we really say you should at least read every word and consider it! :D

Someone PLEASE make a full playthrough of Arkham Origins or Arkham Knight with Adam West’s costume.

[@GivozLegacy]

The PS Vita is WORTH IT! Take it from someone who originally bought it cos there were no Switch's available.

[@SonicChaocc]

Your "Well Shit..." Sounds almost like a certain Boring Mans "Well shit...!"

[@bigloaaff2945]

Sonic is Batman Baman is Sanic 🏃🏃🏃- - - 🔫

[@TreiskadekDevil]

SwagnemeraldzMC Yea funny how that works. Now Sega and WB need to make a crossover game with Sonic in the Bat suit and Batman with speed of light. Roger Craig Smith voices bot the characters and add Flash in just for the fun of hearing Batman tell Flash hes to slow.

[@bigloaaff2945]

TreiskadekDevil COMING ONLY FOR PS4 XBOX ONE AND PC

[@AerialSong]

Since Roger Craig Smith is the voice of Batman, I guess you could say that it's Sonic the Hedgehog in a Batman suit as well as Chris Redfield.

Month of Rare

[@JayDayX116]

so 2 good games and a shit ton of garbage and one dirty humor game then.

[@GiordanDiodato]

Starfox Adventures?

[@GiordanDiodato]

***** I think it's because it's so different from SF64... ironically Assault is criticized for being "too much" like SF64.

[@tamathemaid7171]

Wait, does this mean Batman Arkham Asylum happens during Christmas Eve/Day because if Batman finished beating on Joker at the end of the game, I would say it’s safe to presume he would be personally escorted to the Asylum by Batman straight after. This also can line up with the set up of Blackgate prisoners being transferred there if the place was that severely damaged but it doesn’t make sense since I doubt Gordon would be promoted to Comissoner overnight so I think it would be safe to say it’s a couple days break. Plus there is also the whole Riddler not taking up his name yet in this game so yeah, weird timing.

[@sonicjms]

I got a vita today, Persona 4 Golden was a good reason

[@eathams]

...A good reason, but the only reason, too

[@Gr8man526]

Well no I would say tearaway is the best reason to get one but that's my opinion.

[@eathams]

Gr8man984 I agree Tearaway is good, but not nearly enough to get a Vita for. (If you already have a Vita, go right ahead, but if not, you won't miss much)

[@TacticalTop]

You had a good reason to buy it, a damn good reason to buy it.

[@SingaporeLoveItachi]

Gravity Rush?

[@LinkedZac]

I'd still like to see a Mario marathon, whether its the 3d Mario titles, or the paper Mario series including Mario rpg.

[@torrencesampson3584]

1. Arkham City 2. Arkham Origins 3. Arkham Asylum

[@torrencesampson3584]

Tom Benjamin I meant to put Arkham Asylum last lol.

[@macafromthewired]

1)Arkham Knight 2)Arkham City 3)Arkham Asylum 4)Arkham Origins

[@torrencesampson3584]

The Iron Fist Arkham Knight was that good? Can't wait to get.

[@macafromthewired]

Yeah it had so many good features with a really good story backing it up. All the combat and stealth mechanics are the same, but they added new moves to make it more enjoyable. Like the fear takedown, you take one guy out, then you select another, and you can take out up to four guys in the beginning, but you can upgrade so you can do more. I'm not going to give away anything about the story but, Batman's in a deep psychological battle in this one.

[@torrencesampson3584]

Thanks

[@alwaysxnever]

I appreciated that there was a bit more of a challenge to the combat in this game as the PS3 version glitched and I couldn't see the counter markers and thr smaller window was cool.

[@superspyro3000]

i dont really care for the multiplayer, so i just got the wii U version XD

[@originalscreenname44]

And on that day, Johnny (and I) relapsed into the addiction that is the Steam sale. God damn/bless you, Valve!

[@jacksimms9995]

Johnny plz review Halo !!!:)

[@khistraley1150]

I would comment on how Batman and Sonic the hedgehog are now the same person. But I gotta say, Jonny would make a kick ass Santa! He is a jolly fat guy, after all. Unless he's reviewing a shitty game, then he's ready to crush someone like a Sumo wrestler

[@joelmontgomery326]

Review the Uncharted series! Kingdom Hearts! Infamous! Bioshock! The Last of Us!

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]
