Hello, your 10/10 actually exists. Its arkham knight try it.
@@juanarango9101 Arkham knight is the second worst in the series right after origins.
@@austriandude9883 eh it's not that bad
@@akiffnuqman2838 I'm not saying it's bad I'm saying it's the second worst in the series
Well said BOY
"I'm not Batman... I'm just an asshole in rubber underpants..." - hit me right me in the feels 😢
A2 NO A2 NOOOOOO 😭😭😭
@@Swainster77 A2 is just Ace too. 1:04
Well at least you weren’t wearing hockey pads
He IS Batman!
"Too much Batman, not enough Batman"
legit as hell
"Most superheroes just get lucky with their powers"
Batman has the luckiest power of them all: Intergenerational wealth
Nah he actually has a power that’s not known to many, it’s his bat-glare. And his heart too.
As nearly every Batman v Superman fight proves, there is no superpower more OP than being born into immense wealth.
Batman’s greatest power is his popularity. As long as he has that, he will NEVER look bad.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human what fights? He’s literally never beaten Superman in a normal state of mind...
@@tnng7865 Not in the movies, but in the comics and animations Batman usually wins.
Also in Holy Musical Batman, the greatest DC based material ever, even if it is fanmade.
"7/10. Too much Batman, not enough Batman." If I didn't know any better I'd say you were a reviewer for IGN.
Too bad that's innaccurate though
@@FraserSouris Ya sure?
@@oH_._
Yes. Because that stupid meme is referencing a legitimiate complaint and acting like that was bad
@@FraserSouris Well IGN brought it upon themselves where in the video, they sound like they hate the game and/or critic different aspects of the game, but then end up giving it a 9/10.
@@FraserSouris If ya like IGN, thats fine, I'm just pointing out why people basically take what they say, into a joke.
We need to send this to Dunkey.
This video will really make him feel like Batman.
i dont really understand the dunky reference she made. is it dunkys spiderman video???
@@stefanvomscheidt8443 That and his game critics video
@@Seth_M-T thank you lol
@@ashwinbhat4267 this is the exact video i thought of xD
I lost my shit when she referenced dunkey
That Dunkey shout-out brought a tear to my eye
Me too
Me too. Dunkey and Girlfriend are now my favorite reviewers
I know right
Is it weird that I just read that aloud like I was Shrek?
Wimp
“Oh my god he’s looking right at me!”
“What an idiot!”
...... “i m b a t m a n” .....
"Wind's howling"
*_FART_*
Made my day.
Now you have to do arkham city, it's not even an option not to do them.
But they're all really similar in the context of these reviews. They don't review the game itself.
I like AC a lot, but it leans even more into the combat, so I'm not sure it'd be worth taking the time.
@@triphazard2906 You're right, but i also think it goes more in depth with the narrative and the characters, including batman who's psyche is definitely more looked into. And about that combat, i'd say that the combat has is a massive upgrade from asylum, so much so that I think the Batman games (AC and forward) has one of the only combat systems that watchers can enjoy. And the bosses are also a lot better (especially mr. Freeze). But in the end it's up to her, I think she should try watching AC and if she also doesn't like that, then we can give up on her liking thise games because the rest definitely won't convince her.
@@arbiter- Games are not about what they mean but how they make you feel , especially movies,comics licensed games
And Arkham Knight.
Hollup amminut',
THERE WAS NO HOLLUP AMMINUT'! 😭😭😭😭
BLASPHEMY
WHAT SHE SAID!
No but you do get Alfred's voice tho.
Why would i watch this video then :'(
IKR??
Batman: The Animated Series is still the definitive Batman.
The one and ONLY TRUE BATMAN!! = Kevin Conroy!
That show is so good that to this day whenever I read a batman comic I'll have Kevin Conroy and Mark hamills voice in my head as I read.
I found that show in the top TV series of all time on IMDB, now that I'm done watching it, I can confirm it's really damn good!! Can't believe I missed it lol
and Arkham
Because it makes you FEEL LIKE BATMAN
*Bruce Wayne sobbing over his dead parents' bodies* "I'm so Batman right now." 💀💀
I think you should really start doing the "I want this, and this" as you did in this video more often! It really summerizes everything
Yeah that was really cool
This reviews make me *"feel"* like a girlfriend.
Same and I'm not even a chick
Your boyfriend HAS to play Arkham City. That game is SOOOOOOOOOO freaking good that I can't avoid the feeling that I'm gonna cry when I talk about this game hahaha
O m g s o r e l a t a b l e
Arkham City is one of my favorite games of all time
One of the most overrated game sequels of all time.
@@Great_Scott_ Naaaahhh fam, Arkham City is phenomenal, the open world, plot and overall atmosphere really made you feel like Batman. I'll forever keep a wonderful memory of this game
@@soltanehoukim6528
Make no mistake, I have fondness for AC. I played the shit out of this game, and it had by far and away the best challenge mode of the series. However, to say this game is the overall best of the Arkham franchise is... questionable to say the least. I can see a rational person believing that if he/she doesn't at all mind the poor narrative and some of the gamey and anemic elements put into the otherwise great and refined gameplay. The armored enemies in combat and predator was a goofy and artificial way to try to make players use automatic/loud takedowns. The titans of Arkham Asylum were simple yet viscerally satisfying enemies to fight. But in AC you just perma-stun them and mash square while Batman's head and shoulders embarrassingly clip into him. Not all boss fights were winners, either. Grundy was a pseudo boss fight puzzle reminiscent of the lamest parts of God of War 2 (an even more overrated video game sequel), and the actual one-on-one part of the fight with Ra's was a wholly inferior version of the battle with Poison Ivy in AA. By far the shortest campaign of the four main games. Everything involving Catwoman was mediocre at best and came in strange intervals.
But the story... This is why Paul Dini wasn't hired back to pen Rocksteady's third game (or even the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC). The writing is like sub-par fan-fiction (if I ever read fan-fiction). Overtly nonsensical plot holes, laughably contrived events and cringe-inducingly juvenile dialogue throughout. This is the norm, not the exception. It's thematically bankrupt as it pretends to be epic and profound with (admittedly) stirring music. Look, every Arkham game has some contrivances, but they're nowhere near as bad nor as widespread as in AC. Just about every aspect of the main story can be meticulously pulled apart. It's not in any way comparable to Dini's fantastic contributions to Batman: The Animated Series and its feature films. This is not the Mask of the Phantasm of gaming. Arkham City is like the Batman: Hush story only much worse.
"World's greatest detective is something even movies can't seem to get right."
Matt Reeves heard you and delivered.
Batman doesn’t solve a single thing. Gordon and random cops and even Penguin does multiple times
Wow, your 10/10 version of this game.... *_is Arkham Knight,_* lol.
_Please_ play it, you guys! :D
Brian Hope was hoping someone would say this
THANK YOU!!!
Was just about to say this lol
Ehh, Knight focused on the Batmobile too much. I think Arkham City would be her ideal Batman.
But it is still a 10/10 game lol her reasoning was stupid for the game it was and how it felt at the time of you play games now vs. back then.
When r we getting dunkey x girlfriend review crossover
What if Dunkey becomes the boyfriend?! 😦
Ask Leah!
@@CoryTheSimmons dunkey is married to leah you dink
Mason Cooper but that’s the joke YOU dink
Dunkey is the boyfriend.
"Stare at them for hours" *zooms in on Poison Ivy's chest* Alright alright alright ;)
"...and pet me like a horse."
Saucy.
I kid. But he does write the scripts tho...
Wait is your boyfriend goose wayne?
I thought it was "Loose Pain".
He probably is
No no no its clearly Bruce maimed
“I’m Batman!” “C’mon, Batman!” “Aw, I’m not Batman.” Real to me.
I literally can relate to this! My boyfriend played Arkham City while me being a backseat gamer and when he played, his voice start getting low and says "I'm Batman" everytime he kick some villain's ass.
When it comes to the Arkham Series, Arkham Asylum had the best atmosphere/setting in my opinion. The pacing was also great.
also the best predator sections imo. later games have many stealth sections outside and give you too many useful gadgets
I thought it was Arkham city but the whole series is great
This game makes you *_feel_* like an orphan
as an orphan. I don't feel like batman.
(joke)
I’m still Batman
A rich orphan
"There is nothing super with Batman. He's just human"
Yeah. He's human.
And a bilionaire
And a martial arts master
And pretty inteligent.
And...
...he is Batman
1 lol
2 true, but it’s what he does with all that that makes him a hero
And jacked.
... he is Ironman
He's also the peak of what the human body can physically be along with his training with he league of assassins
I think you’d love both seasons of Batman: Telltale! Some of the action scenes require planning, you get to be a detective at multiple parts, and it shows the internal conflict of being Batman and Bruce Wayne flawlessly.
heeellll nooooo. the acting so so bad and the story is very cheesy and predictable. It is a kids version of batman.
Zubair Khan Ah yes, a kids’ Batman story that involves people slitting each other’s throats, taking advantage of mentally disabled people, ripping people in half, vengeance, and the struggles of aging.
And how is the acting bad and story predictable?
Did you even play it?
I played the first one and liked it a lot, but then the second was a great disappointment... I stopped after the fringy confrontation with the Riddler. Really a disappointment.
I just found your channel and I think it's like fresh air. You've made full on belly laugh like 10 times in the last 20 minutes! :)
Some of your issues with this game get ironed out in Arkham City, which is the best game in the series and you should play/watch it. Great vid by the way
You misspelled Arkham Origins
Arkham Knight is pretty much all the games she said at the end combined into one.
@@LBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLB Yeah, AK is definitely my favorite Arkham game, probably my favorite game of all time
Arkham Asylum and City are equal in quality, even though Arkham City improved on every aspect.
@@ataridc where I am one of the few that LOVED Origins, I do think City was better but the former is better than Asylum.
Should your Boyfriend play horizon zero dawn
Yes. yes yes.
Most definitely lol
YES AND YES! It's a must!
FINALLY I PUT THIS ON LIKE ALL OF HER VIDEOS I NEED THEM TOO
Wait DC means " Detective Comics " holy shit!
Ye
Normie
My mind just exploded
Isn't that like when people say "ATM Machine"
? Where the M stands for Machine... Just saying
Gilly Gogs no it doesn’t lol
"Yeah I'm doing that! I'm Batman!"
Pretty much sums up Arkham games lol
Review Bayonetta!!
This channel was made for it.
MITHYKA YES.
IM WATCHING MY BF PLAY THAT ONE RIGHT NOW OMG.
LOVE the character. She’s sassy as hell and I love it. The plot is good enough albeit predictable, but imo the interest is more how Bayonetta reacts to the plot rather than the plot itself. The graphics are actually pretty lovely, but the camera kinda ruins it a little at times.
The only thing I’d say I dislike watching is the combat. Beat-em-up is just super boring after the first few fights, but everything else is fine. It is hilarious watching him pull a new combo off only to see Bayonetta breakdancing with bullet heels.
“Just don’t tell dunkey “
😂😂😂
The idea of a co-op Batman and Robin made me squee a little. You could even mix shit up and have the entire Bat family for various missions. Imagine Batman and Nightwing taking it to the Court of Owls...
I lost it at the Alfred bit. Your videos always get me laughing, keep up the good work.
You used the Ace clip from the Justice League Unlimited season finale... :(
That part always makes me cry
Wait, 1:28, don't you mean ...
_hollup_ _amminut_ ?
I see what you did there Joestar!
You were so cute when you did that "Alfred's voice"
This woman perfectly nails the deep character analysis of Batman within the first very few minutes
"Don't tell Dunkey"
Laughed harder than I should.
"2009?!" exactly how i reacted when i remembered when these came out
You were surprised it was 2009 in 2009?
I'm really impressed just how well made your reviews sometimes are.
You're funny and entertaining and you keep it short while still making a deep, in-depth review and doing justice to the creators and different versions.
This is a very delicate balance and you're striking it perfectly.
I can still sometimes hear that you are reading the script but it is becoming more and more natural to you over time.
Please keep making such excellent videos and thank you for your hard work.
2:40 “Yeah I’m doin’ that; I’m Batman.”
“So this is not a review of metro exodus, it’s a review of how it is like living with a guy that plays *me hoping to hear metro exodus* Batman Arkham asylum”
*me smashing my keyboard through the wall with my phone on it*
ben shalev you saw the title and thumbnail right?😂
Rafael Nahafahik yes dude am not retarded
This is THE most perfect video game reviewing system i have ever seen. Playing the game is one thing, but knowing what your significant other is thinking about the game is a whole new ball game. Ingenious. 10/10
Basically everything she request to add on the game is in Arkham Knight. It could be a good idea to play it to show the improvements.
It’s like every time I watch a video of yours of a game I have seen played, everything I couldn’t articulate about the experience is expressed. It’s refreshing and also kinda creepy 😜
1:05 that's the most heartbreaking moment in justice league 💔
A7med Nj what was the name of this episode?
@@belroyale Epilogue. It wraps up Batman Beyond, so if you're interested in watching that I'd do that first.
Venusaurusrex many thanks, I certainly will!
I cry every time.
press F to give bane a concussion... and respects...
The internal conflict and the emotional side of Batman and his rogues gets more screentime the more the series progresses
But I know what you mean, this is one of my fav games I love how you’re doing this!
your reviews are hilarious, thought-provoking and spot on. So i hit the sub button :)
You and ACG really know what you're doing!
"okay, bye"
It's just the "bye" that has that effect
Haha, I love the theory that Alfred is just *protecting him from the tragic knowledge of Batman actually having killed all those people.*
Also, I am curious about your feelings of the conclusion of Arkham Knight.
*SPOILER* I personally felt it was a let-down how they promised the end of Gotham and Batman and then summed it up with, “All in a day’s work.” Which just felt so anti-climactic for how they built it. *Thoughts?*
Batman doesn´t kill... because the fall does.
It sounds like you haven't watched the knightfall protocol ending. Batman completely evolves.
@@cagethekyle6493 This is true, Knightfall Protocol is the actual ending of the game
SPOILER:
Tyacho is that when he turns into the Joker for a bit and then in the end arrests the guy and is like-well, it’s all in a day’s work kind of thing?
@@PutingPinoy No. Knightfall Protocol is when you 100% the game. Complete all Most Wanted missions and solve all riddles. The final ending is shown afterwards
4:30 and that's why we should all be looking forward to "The Batman" with Robert Pattinson. Since that movie is supposedly focusing more on the detective aspect of Batman (and on Bruce as a Hooman Bean). Also if anyone has any doubts about Pattinson, watch some of his films where is doesn't play a shiny vampire ;) he's such a good actor and perfectly fits the role of this young, inexperienced Batman who only seeks ... Vengeance. It's gonna be so good! Maybe you guys @GirlfriendReviews going to make a review about it? :)
That edit when the goblin jr. knocks his head! The timing was perfect and cracked me up
I seriously recommend you play Ori and the Blind forest. It's what I used to get my girlfriend into gaming. You would love it!
My boyfriend actually tried showing me that one! I will say it’s gorgeous, I just couldn’t get into it like Hollow Knight.
@@flaminghorsebackrider6969 You're telling me the first 8 minutes didn't get you hooked?
MoBeeLex Not quite. May just be that platformers aren’t my cup of tea since I get very board of watching the same sequence over and over again, especially since the same thing happened with Celeste. I will give Ori the art and music, however.
@@flaminghorsebackrider6969 It's fun and fluid enough that I totally got into it even though it's not usually my cup of tea either. Compared to Hollow Knight you mention, it's way easier which helps. I wanted a fun exploration game in a beautiful world with a touching story that didn't take me 40 hours to finish, and I got it!
Aesahethr And you know what, I’m starting to see that now. When I was shown Ori it was while he was also in the beginning of HK so I didn’t realize that one was way shorter than the other. That I can appreciate.
However, despite agreeing HK is much more frustrating to watch than Ori, the only reason it won me over was the boss fights. I loved watching and seeing the pattern on nearly every single one. The only exceptions were Hornet and Grimm, but those two look likes dancing so it was still so engaging. Oh, and the grubs were adorable.
Ori...has platforming. And it is really nice, just something was missing. I might give it another shot, but I doubt he’ll be playing it anytime soon since he had beat it even before he showed me. To CZcams!
BLOODBORNE!
That scene of batman with ace always makes me tear up
lol love the Alfred "rewires" to keep batman sane theory
2009! graphics are good. about to go check out this twitch channel
Best GAMING CHANNEL on youtube! 💯🙌🔥
What about jackspedicey and dunkey
Close second after ranton
3:38 "don't tell dunky" ... LMFAO XD
That cracked me up too
It's been almost 3 years and we haven't still gotten that Metro exodus review
"I'm not batman, I'm just an asshole in his underpants". I feel that.
Now do Persona 5 :)
orangeandblack5 YESS SPREAD THE WORD
orangeandblack5 I want to play it, but it's only in English and Japanese
mercenary128 side project?
SD -C Wait, you're speaking in English right now :P
Definitely do, amazing game
orangeandblack5 lol I'm trying to learn english, even if i have a high level of english already i can't understand some sentences of the game, I wish the game get localized to European Languages, so the fact that they didnt localized the game its a huge letdown for me
I love how you make the videos you want to instead of always doing what your fans ask. Makes it feel like you really enjoy what you’re doing! Great video as always.
Great video, am loving the channel. Don't know if i have suggested it before but please do mass effect, the good trilogy.
It would be cool to see you guys expand into reviewing what it’s like to have your bf drag you to see x movie, or force you to watch x tv show. I know I drag my wife to see a lot of films, some of which she really enjoys and others she can’t stand.
Or vice versa. Do you drag your bf to see any movies or tv shows? What was that like for him?
Half-Life 2? You're going to love the sequel to that!!
You rat bastard. I had nearly forgotten.
Oof, brutal.
@@HHHmarcus Just imagine how this kid feels... czcams.com/video/MMYsEJ-vZaQ/video.html
it fucking hurts
ba dum tss!
The editing and humor always amazes me, great review
I feel like Nolan did a good job in the dark knight trilogy, they kinda did make him seem like a real detective
Other than the bullet reconstruction (that led him into a trap), what did he really detect?
Can we appr fíate the fact that she used the animated series soundtrack, the only way to go
5:47 I want that Alfred impression to be the last thing I hear before I die
ORI AND THE BLIND FOREST PLS!!!
I'm kinda surprised she didn't already
she should play it, not review the boyfriend playing it. My gf played it, she absolutely loved it
@@gamedino6339 but that's not what this channel is about. Also, she should do whatever the fuck she wants, including only watch.
"In the Nolan films he's more like the worlds greatest marine." Holy $h^& I've never thought of it that way! Supposedly Matt Reeves's Batman will actually be a detective.
I usually just enjoy content from the shadows, but this time I'll make an exception. This is the most wholesome channel on youtube atm. Keep up the good work
Oh man when you mentioned feeling like Batman the first thing I thought of was Dunkey and how the game really made him FEEEEEEELLLLLLLL like Batman.
Waiting for the "This isn't a Bloodborne review, this is what it's like to play TONY GET THE BOULDER with Dunkey"
Renas2210 lolololllollol BOTW vid reference
You NEED to review Batman Arkham City the story and the new features the series just kept on getting better and better except for Arkham origins
Origins is still vastly better than most games in the genre. Great boss fights.
This made us smile a few time..... loved it. Still feel the Batman games hold up amazingly well. Rocksteady just did amazing. An kudos to you both for putting in the Animated Batman as honestly tho I have enjoyed every live action film..... the animated series is by FAR the best Batman to me (read best as in closest to the comic character and in some ways even better).
0:23 I’m freaked out now
What do you guys recommend for recording long video game sessions? Is there a specific hardware/software that you use? How many hours and how much hard drive space does it take for a typical gaming session?
That Justice League chapter near the end of the series when Batman holds Ace Hand until she dies! THESE DARN ONIONS!! Gets me every effing time!
man this editing kills me.
i Laughed my butt off xD
keep doing what you're doing guys :)
Play Nier and Horizon Zero Dawn.... or i SHALL unleash the Dunkey on you
Grumpoo Da Zumbie I can’t deny it, which is why I made my comment
Grumpoo Da Zumbie what? I didn’t delete shit
@Grumpoo Da Zumbie CZcams did an oppsie
so umm, since they've just announced the second game, i'd love to see a darkest dungeon video.
also,
BANNERLORD WHEN
This is a great review! Keep them coming!
You need to see Batman VR. The Psychological side is brilliant.
I just finished playing Half Life 2 again for the first time since it came out and was amazed by how well the gameplay has held up considering how long ago it came up, it was so fun!... most of the time. But at times it was a bit of a slog and I had to push myself to finish it. Would love to know how you found it and if you managed to finish it
I just binged on your entire channel in a very short period of time and woww everything was PERFECT. I really mean it! Your videos are flawless and your editing, commentary, and amazing talent overall is like....ahh I can’t even think of the right words to express myself because my brain is just a pile of pencil sharpenings and two moths flapping around or sum shit.
So yeah, not sure if you’ll see this comment but i just had to tell you how fantastic you are and i really admire your work. Sooo excited for the future of your channel! 🙂🤗
1:05 Thanks for reminding me of of the most heart-rending story line I've ever seen in a cartoon. No, I'm not crying right now I just have dust in my eye it's really really dusty in my house and that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :-)
"Please don't tell dunkey." :D
"Too much Batman, not enough Batman"
Ded 😂🤣😂🤣
You should definitely make a follow-up video in the future where you talk about Arkham City and Knight, because these two games have a tremendous emotional payoff. What they’ve done with the Joker is insanely great.
Press F to pay respects
No, sorry F. those sequels
Origins was the best
These reviews are great 😂 pretty safe to say we need a girlfriend reviews of EVERY GAME!!
Wow, this the first review I watched on this channel.
And it is simply AMAZING!!!!
🤣 I don't care your topic, please do more Alfred protecting Bruce voices!🤣😂🤣
I see you are still trying to avoid seeing your boyfriend play Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne.
But should he play Far Cry 3?
Yeah, a girlfriend review about any Far Cry would be pretty cool!
Why avoid Uncharted 4?!? Great game!
Watching someone play Uncharted is boring though. You'll really notice just how much climbing is in that game
@@ZodsSnappedNeck but once you get into the action and story, she'll say that it will be worth it or epic
Your edits were fresh, but they keep getting better
Ok now I’m really wanting you to play the rest of the games in the series!
