Also the reason that Hugo didn’t inform people about Batman identity is probably because ra’s would’ve killed him for doing that, or Batman even as his identity was already revealed
@ that’s not even close to being true. The main plot of this game is batman on a wild goose chase to cure himself from Joker’s condition and Joker constantly antagonizes him along the way. Joker is the primary source of conflict in this game not Hugo nor R’as
I understand stand why you might think the Rat King's reveal was underwhelming, but if you listen to Harvey's patient tape with Dr. Crane, you'd understand how mentally unstable Harvey was becoming. Also, technically, Harvey/Two-Face isn't the Rat King-it's his Shadow. Carl Jung's theory of the Shadow suggests that the Shadow is an element of our nature that exists in our unconscious, made up of our repressed desires, ideas, instincts, weaknesses, and shortcomings.(Super simplified) In the story of Arkham Shadow, we see two brothers face their Shadows (Bruce and Harvey). While Bruce is ultimately able to confront and live with his Shadow, Harvey loses to his and succumbs, ultimately becoming Two-Face. The reason Harvey works as the Rat King is that he felt the justice system was failing and tried to suppress those feelings. Jung’s theory also suggests that the more one suppresses their Shadow, the stronger it becomes. Harvey's Shadow grew so strong that it manifested itself as the Rat King. The ending wasn’t supposed to be a big plot twist that you couldn’t guess, nor was it meant to be a huge dramatic fight against the Rat King, because that’s not what Arkham Shadow's story is about. There were many subtle hints that Harvey was the Rat King. I could go into more depth, but I don’t want to bore you, lol. Great video, by the way!
Asylum: The combat being slow and losing combos too quickly, the post game not having much to offer, and not having as many moves and abilities as the other games such as catching objects being thrown at Batman or being able to do takedowns from vents and grates. City: Way too many riddler trophies and way too many challenge maps if looking to platinum or get all achievements in the game. Also the atmosphere is probably the weakest in the series with how dark and eerie Asylum and Origins are and how big Gotham is in Knight plus the thugs in the open world say the same lines constantly. Origins: The progression system doesn’t offer as much freedom to players such as having to do the dark knight challenges in order, not as many predator sections will respawn enemies after the story, and can only unlock abilities through completing side missions rather than through earning enough experience points. Also the game is more prone to glitches compared to the other games (excluding Knight’s PC launch), the open world looks the same in a lot of places, and not as many new features introduced as the other games due to less development time. Knight: Story is the least interesting in the series for me. It doesn’t utilize Batman’s rogues gallery as well as the previous Arkham games since most of the villains are in side missions while the ones that are like Harley Quinn and Scarecrow don’t get to do much.
Arkham asylum: barley any side quests City:AR challenges and political side quests Origns: glitches Blackgate: combat felt weird Knight: trash story, trash writing, terrible boss fights, repetitive side quests, way to much batmobile, Jason felt forced, stupid joker blood plot, no explanation of how scarecrow survived from killer crock, stupid drone and cobra fights, terrible ending, most story dlcs sucked Sucide squad kills the justice league: mirotransations, live service elements, repetitive side quests, terrible seasons, some of the writing was bad
I agree with your Shadow criticism, while I don't mind it being Harvey or showing that his split personality was active before his scarring (this has been done in a lot of other Two face versions) but having the reveal with no real explanation of how and why is not great. My feeling is that the Rat King is a corrupted take on Leslie's (his mother essentially) ideas helping the poor and downtrodden in Gotham, after his mind snaps the alternate self becames his father, cruel and brutal.
Zoned videos 2 days in row? This is crazy! Asylum: Variety City: Alfred being replaced by Oracle outta nowhere 😢 (probably The Political Prisoner thing would be second) Origins: Map Knight: Boss Fights (this may be lame but boss fights were so wasted in this game) That's what I think
Arkham asylum: very clunky combat at time's, lack of things to fo after the main story, would have been nice to have batnan fight whatever inmates are still left, maby have us still save guards, and free up areas like medical from thugs, and of cource keep riddler trophies Arkham city: WAY to many riddler trophies, an absolute ridiculous amount, they barley did anything with strange, he shoudv been in the story more, have him really mess with batmans head, tyger shoudve also been bigger, we barley fought them, have us maby free up the map tuger guard bases on top of building maby, and the protocol 10 event be a bit longer and be more dangerous for the playedr, and also have bigger affects to the map, many collapsed buildings, deceasd thugs in the streets etc, and have catwoman, robin and nightwing have a bigger part in the story. Orgins; haven't played it in years, wish I could. Knight: the story has SO MUCH missed opportunity, they coudve had, crane, jason, hush, and slade, un the main story they all have a personal hate for batman, all working together, make jason less whiney sounding, maje him way more intimidating, have the milita FAR more dangerous, they should automatically counter all of batmans moves before he even enters the room, booby traped vantage points, more drones etc, improve the side mission quality, I enjoyed them, but coudve been better, less battank, it wasnt even in the game much, but some parts if forced it for no reason, like slade tank battle, hav robin, and nightwing have a WAY bigger part in the story, rocksteady COMPLETELY fumbled the batfam in these games, I have a lil more for each game, but these are the main big ones.

5:12 he wasn't. Joker was the main antagonist as you spend most of the game against him. the Arkham series is about Batman vs Joker
No, Joker was the tertiary antagonist, behind Strange and Ra's.

Under The Mayo Jr? (Jk)
@TheShrekTheTacoandTheBallerina huh?
@tyleroutland435 do you know the youtuber Under The Mayo and his review on Arkham Knight?
@TheShrekTheTacoandTheBallerina no I don't
@HispasatBat city had fantastic writing
But Zoned, you forgot to mention what Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League did worst: EVERYTHING!!!!!

Knight: Boss Fights (this may be lame but boss fights were so wasted in this game)
That's what I think
Arkham knight has the most complex story than any other game.
Spoiler warning for Arkham Shadow, hello?
Also, worst thing about that game is that it's an exclusive for a specific VR console!
I said for each Arkham game that should be enough
It’s still a Shame that nearly everybody can’t play the new game due to it being another vr
Arkham asylum: very clunky combat at time's, lack of things to fo after the main story, would have been nice to have batnan fight whatever inmates are still left, maby have us still save guards, and free up areas like medical from thugs, and of cource keep riddler trophies
Arkham city: WAY to many riddler trophies, an absolute ridiculous amount, they barley did anything with strange, he shoudv been in the story more, have him really mess with batmans head, tyger shoudve also been bigger, we barley fought them, have us maby free up the map tuger guard bases on top of building maby, and the protocol 10 event be a bit longer and be more dangerous for the playedr, and also have bigger affects to the map, many collapsed buildings, deceasd thugs in the streets etc, and have catwoman, robin and nightwing have a bigger part in the story.

Knight: the story has SO MUCH missed opportunity, they coudve had, crane, jason, hush, and slade, un the main story they all have a personal hate for batman, all working together, make jason less whiney sounding, maje him way more intimidating, have the milita FAR more dangerous, they should automatically counter all of batmans moves before he even enters the room, booby traped vantage points, more drones etc, improve the side mission quality, I enjoyed them, but coudve been better, less battank, it wasnt even in the game much, but some parts if forced it for no reason, like slade tank battle, hav robin, and nightwing have a WAY bigger part in the story, rocksteady COMPLETELY fumbled the batfam in these games,
I have a lil more for each game, but these are the main big ones.
Car
very true
Playing through every one of these games on a purposeful hunt for the worst aspect of each one of them is something I will never understand
What ?
I went through everything they did best already
