    I think Arkham Knight is the most underrated because the open world is by far more amazing than anything we’ve seen before in the series, and is one of the best open worlds of all time, it is just perfect. And I know this is just based on when the games were released but the graphics are A LOT better than the other games. But also the nightwing suit probably balances out all of that with how bad it was so…🤷‍♂️

    Then it hit me that Joker moved the gun, and out loud I exclaimed "Joker moved the gun!" and confused my Mom who had no idea what I was talking about. also Knight turns 10 next year and that makes me feel old.

    The argument about City's story being nothing but a fetch quest is certainly a weak one. I'd like to give my reasons for it being my least favorite story in the franchise (despite still really enjoying it). Batman as a character is completely stagnant, undergoing no introspection or development, while also being far too emotionless. Batman should be stoic but it's far too much in City, especially compared to the others. In Asylum he has caring banter with Oracle and even chuckles occasionally and he shows genuine care for Gordon. In Knight he practically cries when he thinks Oracle dies, and the plot basically revolves around his fear of failing the people he loves. I think Origins doesn't even need to be mentioned it does this aspect so well. But in City he's basically a statue. His coldness towards Robin doesn't feel like protectiveness he just comes off as uncaring. He has a stronger reaction to Hugo Strange's death than Talia's. The plot of the cure isn't the best but the only thing about it that actually bother's me is that Hugo Strange is reduced to a complete non threat. Once Bruce is infected there is ZERO investigation of Protocol 10 until Sharp is arrested, when scaling Wonder Tower Strange doesn't do anything to make good on his threat at the beginning of "if you try to stop me, everyone will know your secret," and then he's just gone after being revealed to be a lacky for Ra's. It's not that I think the story is bad at all, I still greatly enjoy it, but I much prefer Bruce's characterization in every other game and I would've preferred more focus on the Protocol 10 mystery than just the cure. Man that was an essay, sorry lol.

      I say strange got arrogant by the end everything of his went according to plan he's been manipulating everyone playing catwoman and two face against each other, ratting out Gordon's undercover team, giving freeze to penguin manipulating quincy sharp using Mad Hatter etc. He kept batman off his tail and from investigating protocol 10 until it was literally 20 minutes away and by then it was too late.
      In the opening he says "I assume you thought yourself untouchable well as you can see no one is untouchable"
      By the time you are about to apprehend him he ironically says "I am untouchable" all of his successes got to his head and it became his downfall. Even Ras Al Ghul calls him out on it. "you've proven that batman is better than you" batman never got arrogant

      @jacobcenter7374 Před 3 dny

      @@baki484 and like that's exactly what happened, but I feel like it kinda undermines his "cold and calculating" thing. And they could've just avoided it by making that final stealth section similar to the one in Asylum in the Botanical gardens where you need to sneak past everyone to get to the guy in the control room first. Strange assumes Batman fell off the tower once his people lost sight of him, which means until you take out the first guy in the top room he thinks you're no longer a threat. If you had to sneak past the guards, silent takedown Strange, and THEN the rest of them, that would have solved that issue in my eyes

    Jeez. If I was going to make a list of the things wrong with the Batman Arkam City storyline it wouldn't be ANY of those. If I had to make a complaint it'd be, 1) Arkham city is an extremely stupid idea. I know that mind control was involved, but no one would give up prime real estate in new york city to turn it into a prison. It had a museum and an active steel mill for pity sakes! 2) The idea that Hugo strange would as he said make more Arkham cities in "Keystone" and "bludhaven when it basically failed within like a month or however long it was operating for to the point they needed to introduce protocol 10. It felt like the most contrived possible way they could have made a game where batman runs around in town and there's no civilians to worry about.
    3) I have mixed feelings about the joker actually dying. On the one hand it's nice that there actually was a death and someone didn't just come back from the dead as common in comic book stories, but the Joker? Especially when he died 3 feet from a Lazarus pit. Ultimately I love the series and it became a useful plot element in arkham knight, but it still felt like such a gut punch.

    I know Asylum is aged but I played it for the first time last year and I had such an amazing time and couldn’t wait to continue the series. I’ve played games where I didn’t play in its heyday and/or not on its original console so while I recognize the history, I can’t get into it like I wanted. But that wasn’t the case here, I was having so much fun with Asylum. Definitely a favorite now.
    That said, I went into Origins expecting the worst since I saw so many talk poorly of it. And instead I ended up absolutely loving it. It shows how important it is to play for yourself to find how a game impacts you or doesn’t. as I too played it for 1st time last year I never experienced the rough start and I didn’t have too many issues with glitching in general fortunately. The story and cutscenes had me hooked and now it’s one of my favorite games ever. I doubt it’ll ever be remastered but if it was I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

  • @keegobricks9734
    @keegobricks9734 Před 4 dny +13

    In all honesty, my favorite of the entire series is Batman Arkham ORIGINS. That's right. Origins is my favorite, for 3 main reasons.
    1) The best interpretation of Bane in any Medium. Bane is not just a physical powerhouse, he's also a cunning and disciplined mind. On top of that, not only is he a cunning brute, he is also a legitimate leader. Someone who both has the ability to lead but also the ability to inspire his men to be the best THEY can be. Top Notch.
    2) Deathstroke.
    3) IT has the best combat. Yeah, I mean it. It has the best combat of any of the games. It took what arkham city did and added to it. We got brutes and armored brutes, Venom users and best of all martial artists that were such an interesting change of pace for the fights. Arkham Knight removed the venom users, and the martial artists, and the their version of brutes was much worse. They also removed armored thugs entirely, which made both combat and predator challenges less challenging and fun, which is unforgivable. All they added in return was medics who could revive and add the electric shielding to certain enemies. Although I liked it, it really didn't change the way you fight in any meaningful way. You just have to use Batclaw a bit more often to stop the electricity, and it really doesn't take much effort to stop a guy from reviving another guy. A very marginal threat increase.

    • @agrainofrice2424
      @agrainofrice2424 Před 4 dny +1

      I agree with all your points. While some people hated the martial artists, I found them quite a fun add that made combat more involved for experienced players.
      Though, I believe Knight and Origins had different approaches towards gameplay. Origins clearly preferred difficulty while Knight prioritized being in a flow state and didn't push difficulty as much as Origins.
      While we could debate which is better, I believe both achieved what they wanted to do quite well.

      3) this is so wrong. It has the most unbalanced combat. I’d added nothing that made the combat more fun.

    I think Batman Arkham Asylum isn’t given enough credit perhaps? It was an unbelievable foundation for The Arkham Series, and it was a brilliant game! Sure, it didn’t have the most advanced combat or mechanics like we now have in Batman Arkham Knight, but I think its atmosphere was unmatched. It also brings back so many memories, and so much nostalgia. And respectfully, nostalgia is a hard feeling to beat as it’s such an awesome feeling that is universal for all videogamers!

    You explained the pros of knight very well it's the most refined in the series a technical Marvel that still holds up right but I only go back to it for the challenge maps the story has interesting missions like teaming up with Robin at the movie studios but city, Asylum and origins. But the arkham knight tie-in novel says batman was in denial about it being Jason Todd he knew (but it contradicts the game so it's not canon).
    Asylum is definitely still fun and is my second favorite in the series I like the simplicity of Asylum.
    Origins needs a remaster that's for sure. It has some of my favorite enemy types in the series like.

    I do actually agree with the criticisms of City's story after a recent playthrough... The story starts off extremely interesting with Protocol 10, but then is almost completely abandoned for chasing Joker's cure instead. It's a wild goose chase with not much character growth in it. It has a phenomenal ending, and still incredibly solid gameplay and graphics, but yeah the plot is barebones until Protocol 10 actually comes into effect towards the end.
    I've come around to Knight recently. It's my new favorite Arkham game despite its many flaws. The raw gameplay is just that insanely good and massively improved over the other 3. I only replayed the first 3 games once, but with Knight, I've beaten it on every save file.

    I don’t get why people dislike the story of city so much now it is. Sure there’s a fair bit of fetch questing in the game, but it’s core. It is a story that is designed to challenge Batman‘s resolve and moral code when it comes to killing and ultimately leaves him sticking by his beliefs, despite everything.

Calling it underrated in the series is like saying Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie is underrated.

    I'd still give the edge to Origins since it's literal the Arkham game that is so far under the radar to the average person that the whole trilogy is on the freaking Switch including Knight which I have no idea how bad it must run but Origins is only playable on older hardware, unless the consoles like Xbox, does work to make it back compatable. I feel like that says a lot, especially when new players won't even hear about it if they just play the remasters or trilogy because Origins has never been ported. But, thanks to this video i think the Arkham series is one of the best examples of no matter how praised a game franchise is, there will never be a "perfect" game and that's ok and people need to stop judging games so harshley because of small nit picks here and there. Great video man. Origins needs justice and not just a port but a remaster now! Its overdue!

    I'd say knight is most underrated because it's somehow not considered the best in the series. I get bosses critic, but the combat is just not made for 1v1. And the arena combat I believe is best in the genre of its style. It's impossible for me to go back to city just because how much better batman feels, even the way he walks is just imposing AF which felt really stoic before.
    Batman is a force of nature in this game and you feel tht every moment you are him, you feel it doubly so when you play as other bat family members, they are just not as strong which is by design but man batman is strong yet he is the most vulnerable he has ever been. And Gotham my man is a work of art.
    It also has my faverite batman voice acting as bat and man it hits. Before he felt stoic and I felt like he had no personality now it's tht it's more so him trying to hide his vulnerablilities. Which was a thing in city to but man it feels so much more prevalent here.
    Origins imo is also really good because it imo has the best story and dialogue for bats along with him having so much more personality.

    Recently, a lot of people have been revisiting Origins, hence its cult following making it one of the most popular games in the series. Having played Origins, I find it WAY too similar to base Arkham City, despite the mostly great story, and amazing boss fights. When revisiting Knight (this time with the DLC) I have to say that I am liking it a lot more than I did on my first playthrough. I'm considering bumping it up to third place on my ranking just because Season of Infamy makes it so much better!
    Overall, Knight.

    The problem with Arkham city's story was never about it being a glorified fetch quest for me... I love the whole joker batman plot line! But the whole protocol ten story makes very little sens, but it's a comic book plot so who cares if it's unrealistic that a villain would manage to section off a whole district of Gotham with full authorisation from the government. What's more problematic is strange knowing batman's identity, (to my knowledge it's never explained how he finds that out), and never actually doing anything with that information... Hugo strange litteraly says "if you try and stop me, I guarantee everyone will know your secret" and then batman proceeds to try and stop him and... Nothing... strange doesn't reveal his identity... Like what was the point ?

    If it weren't for the glitches plaguing Arkham Origins, I would genuinely think it's the best in the series.
    If a new player were to ask me where to start, I would suggest Asylum if they're dedicated right out the door. If they're more hesitant, I would've suggestrd Origins. But due to the game's poor condition, I'm forced to recommend City instead.
    While Origins did basically steal everything from City, at the end of the day it's an Arkham game with the mechanics of City with a better story and better boss fights. City has greater highs, but also greater lows. Origins' strength over the other games is that it's consistently good with more averaged out peaks and valleys.
