I really do hope they’re working on a sequel as well as the prequel. Some of the side missions seem like lead-ins to a sequel, and the story has that incredible shock ending, plus Harley’s Revenge, that to me just begs a sequel.
What would really be cool is if they brought in some of the current and classic Batman comic writers, and had villains come out in the comics at the same time as the sequel.
they are making a sequel its called: Batman Arkham Origins
they really shude be a sequel , i hope they instror co_op mod with robin or nigthwing and mayby batgirl .
Plus they could put a vilaine mode were you play as freeze, ivy or hell the joker
I don’t think the game would have the same effect if it was co-op. With as much free roaming the game has. Having it co-op would almost be impossible. Only thing you possibly could do would be have the fight challenges as co-op.
Great video as always, but I’m glad I’ve beaten the game long before watching this, otherwise I’d be upset about all the spoilers.
It wasn’t the Riddler. It was the Reddler…
Well that was a lame joke
Didn´t play the game for a couple of weeks and when I did, thats what happend:
Couple of bad guys, no problem! …
Shit! how do I counter a knife attack? TCHIIIIIINK…. Ouch
Fuck! A guy with a baseball-bat! BUUUUTZ… Ou.. No, I didn´t wanna glue my boot to the floor with explosive gel. A guy with a shield… holy crap, thats it. All I remember is that I need to press like 5 buttons in the right order. But WIIICH ONES??? KNOCK!
Fin.
This game felt like a constant tutorial. Really wish they had given you the option of switching off the in-game displays that tell you what buttons to push and when. It’s ridiculous. Made me feel bored with the game, patronised as though I had no ability to remember the correct buttons myself.
I’m not begrudging anyone’s high opinion of the game, but for me the constant tutorial aspect drops the game’s quality considerably.
I think you can disable the fighting tutorial, in the menu. At least you can for the PC version.
Joe is so awsome.
skyrim is the most boring overrated game
I enjoy it for the exploration
I’m sure that’s why Joe gave it a 10/10.
You’re sure? He gave us his reasons why he gave it 10/10 and it wasnt just a 20+minute video talking about the exploration.
With the Batman Arkham series, I always find myself going back to it. Doesn’t mater how hard I pwn it, it always comes back for more. Great game from start to finish, and a must-own for ALL!
Batman Arkham City is a great game I’ve been playing it for a while. I really enjoy the Riddler riddles they are always fun it takes me some serious searching to find some of them if I avoid his informants. The combat is a little annoying when your trying to finish off a bad guy and his friend interrupts you. I agree that the Mr. Freeze fight is challenging he’s my second favorite Batman Villain after the Joker. The details are nice well polished after Asylum and I like the stories within stories looking at Catwoman, Robin and Nightwing making appearances and even the different Costume’s add something letting me play Batman in his suit from the first animated series. The only fault I could find in the game for myself was the size of it sure it seems bigger than Asylum but it isn’t really, more the same size if you ask me.
Really good game. Mostly because of all of the things packed into the city , its rich with detail and there are plenty of engaging missions after you finish the game and in the middle of it. Some of the riddler trophies are very well done and some are just impossible for me. I liked how they changed the boss fights a little bit especially the Mr Freeze one. And one of the greatest things about this game is all the Easter eggs there are and references to things there are, as well as the improved gadgets.
the best engaging game i ve played
really great game. what would be amazing if there was some sort of co-op. everything is really solid.
Loved this game the story is engaging along with characters and the gameplay is great! Ah Joe your so darn funny.
I think the game is awesome except for the damn dlc that is within or intercepts with the story why cant they make the new ending dlc free instead of you Paying $10 more and now your paying more for your game so now your paying $70 for the game or you just buy the game of the year edition anyway my verdict 9/10
Yep this game totally freakin rocks, it was even better then i expected!!
freeroam batman? just WOW. jump in the battle or pick em off 1 by 1? choice is awesome alone! graphics, voices all were awesome. the game itself wasnt too hard not too easy and the game mechanics were easy to pick up. for me? no joke a 10/10
Great game but lacking content, after the game is finnished.
WTF is wrong with you? Game Plus, Riddler’s Revenge, Ridler’s challanges, Harly Quin’s revenge, many-a side missions, 3 dificulties, Catwoman’s story, MULTIPULE DLC packages, with HILARIOUS costumes, achivements up-the-ass, and you cant find enjoyment after beating it? What have you been smoking, and WERE can i get it?
Did anyone else see Azrael at 9:03?
Wow, You give Skyrim a 10 and Batman a 9? it should be
Batman a 10 and
skyrim a 4
I agree
What? Your crazy. Skyrim a 4? Way too low especially considering how much it has to offer and also how much it’s improved from Oblivion.
well, considering that I can’t tell the difference between skyrim and oblivion, I believe they both are bad games and why the hell is saint row the third 6?? it should be 8.
you wouldn’t know a good game if it hit you in the face
HAHA very funny. I totally agree with you. I played Oblivion for 290 hours. Does anyone want me to repeat that once for every hour I played it? That would be one hell of a text message.
I also agree on that, skyrim is such a bad game
skyrim is the best game i have ever played
One word: Glitches. People say it can ruin a game. Just listn to people “talk” about Sonic 06. Glitches will be the one word you will hear over and OVER again.
Not such an improvement over oblivion to me, it was a dumbening down a lot of the game, the only better part is that they fixed that if you do not level the right way, you will loose every battle later on. Also, in Oblivion conjuration was good in higher difficulties since the summon was effected by the difficulty buffs.
this is HIS review.you can say what you think of the game, it’s your review your saying for example I don’t think skyrim is a FLAWLESS game it has some bad thing like the gui looking like something too modern while it should look medieavel, and a few bugs and glitches,ok but Joe rates a game countin most of the stuff and since a game can’t be flawless he just diferenciates the “weight” of the pros and cons and if the pros far outwheight the cons the game recieves a 10 atleast that’s how i think he rates the games. and the thing for your low rating is that Most of the people want to know is WHY did you gave skyrim a rate of 4 so please tell me
I hate it because you have to do same thing over and over
I think I vomit playing that game
This will probably be my all-time favorite game (at least until the next batman game comes out). No super-hero game i’ve played game me more than this one did. Joe’s right. These are the best super-hero gaes out there.
The best Batman game 4evar
This game is beautiful hands down.
You actually have a reference to The Ventriloquist in the game, it’s not the guy himself, but you can see the dummy Scarface in the museum.
Arkham Asylum * 10 = Arkham City
YOU BUY NOW!!!
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, BatJoe!
Nice Editing On The Video.
Could You Do The Game Codemned 2
Please Thanks Dude. =]
He can’t do condemned 2 bloodshot because that’s released before this video came out.
what the fuck joe this retarded game you fuck head ok ok sorry but are you stuped all of the batman was shit as shit why why for fuck saces all of the were let downs
You sure your not the stupid one?
See this? *Puts up middle finger* It’s my middle finger, YOU good sir, can shove it up hard. Batman is shit, HAH! I LAUGH at your stupidity. Here’s a good idea: FINISH SCHOOL. You illiterate prick!
I played the gaming expecting it to be a copy paste of the last one but I was shocked how good it actually was. I enjoyed it a lot and the side mission where interesting my verdict 9/10
I got BAC four days ago and this thing is cocaine! I just can’t stop playing it! I even got BAC Collectors Edition, which included Catwoman DLC code, really awesome package which included Batman figure! It was really worth it costing almost 90 dollars (almost 80€ here in Finland) but this game ROCKS!
The game is great!
Great art, + combat system.
BUT MY GAME SAVES DISSAPPEAR ON PC!
