    Okay I have a fun anecdote about the scarecrow crash. I was round my friend's house and we were playing Asylum, then when it got to that crash point it said "the disc is unreadable" so we just waited but the disc was genuinely unreadable

    I think that part of what made Arkham Asylum really work for me--along with it being a solid game--was that it felt like a grown up version of Batman the Animated Series, which I watched as a kid. The voices of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill along with some of the music cues just made it feel like coming back to something I loved as a kid but being able to enjoy it as an adult.

    I went into the Arkham games knowing little about DC other than that there was Batman, the Joker and the Penguin. Yet I still loved them to pieces. You don't need to know anything about the DC Universe when you play those games, anything you need to know is taught to you by the games allowing you to ease into them.
    Hell these games made me want to find out more about the DC Universe than I would have without these games. Arkham Asylum alone got me excited to play it barely a few minutes in, which is more than I can say for alot of games.
    Plus they're bloody damn well made games. They're easy to get into and have just enough difficulty at the right times.

Then it began the opening cutscene and I remember throwing my controller at the wall, only to notice after I picked it up that the Arkham Asylum sign in the game cutscene was different... then I was Joker...

      1. The Joker as a brute makes no sense and goes against the whole point of his character
      2. The fight itself is terrible. You don't fight Joker, you just avoid like 2 sets of 2 swings, and he goes up to let you fight his goons. Then you have to pull him down with the batclaw while his back is turned when he showboats for the helicopters, then repeat. So basically the fight is fighting normal enemies. And the fact that joker keeps turning his back to you and falling for the same thing is dumb.

      Chemical Burns I think he'd like to, but the reason he and many other UA-camrs put up one video a week is because of the way UA-cam and its statistics work. I can't remember the specifics, but if you miss a week it's almost the equivalent of falling off the fact of the earth to UA-cam.

    Despite my devotion to mostly sticking to jrpg's and anime style games. This is one of the few non-anime style games I really want to try when I have the free time to do so. I've been a big fan of batman: the animated series and I think Batman has one of the best rogue gallery of villains compared to every other superhero. I feel pretty confident that I will enjoy this game when I do play it and my wife is a very huge batman fan as well.

    When I saw that you were doing Arkham Asylum, I was stoked! Arkham Asylum is probably one of the few games I've ever bothered to 100%. I'm a Finishist at most, and only go full-on Completionist if I really enjoyed the game. I bought a special bundle of the GOTY edition and an Arkham City controller two years ago on my birthday. I fell in love instantly. I assumed the cowl and became the Dark Knight Detective, and I solved ALL of the Riddler Challenges. Without walkthroughs, even! Though, admittedly, finding the Riddler Maps helps. This game is one of my favorites.
    Except, you know, the challenges. I hate those.

    Batman Begins on PS2 and Xbox as actually pretty good. I've beaten that game like 9 times. And I never made the Arkham Games = Jim Lee Art connection, but now that you mention it...
    P.S. And Unity isn't that bad. It's actually my 2nd favourite AC game behind AC: II

    • @Kpengie
      @Kpengie 9 років тому

      Farmeryeti The Jim Lee art connection is primarily due to the fact that his art style is very realistic, though the one major difference in the Arkham visual style is that the colors are a lot darker.

    • @Farmeryeti
      @Farmeryeti 9 років тому

      ***** Yeah, it is very similar now that I'm thinking about it.

She asked me if I wanted to have the game as her son said he didn't even want the stuff anymore and she'd planned on selling the PS3. My dad's PS3 saw a lot of hours on this game back then thanks to that old lady. I have it on Steam now and despite having the entire Arkham collection, I still love playing this amazing classic

      Xiu Greyson I think Greg added a lot to the show, too. He didn't always hit the mark, but there's something to be said for trying. The show, now, doesn't even seem to be trying to be funny. Occasionally Jirard will stammer out some stuff, and I guess that's trying of it, but it's mostly just "whatever". It's certainly not funny, but it's unobtrusive.

A lot of the older games he plays get a Complete It rating, but I think that's mostly because there's no completion bonus, so it's not saying much. Games in the post 2000 era he gave a complete it to of the top of my head are Borderlands, Kingdom Hearts and Portal 2

      Most games aren't really worth "completing". Once developers get to the point of designing content for people who play through games multiple times to find everything, they're just throwing out table scraps of stuff. They're not really designing a game to be played that way.
