Hate to be that guy, but what’s the song that plays at the 39:05 mark?

What’s the song around 55 mins?

burro, mas nao 100 por cento

I had a whole collection of batmans books, including key moments up to Endgame. And to me, Arkahm Asylum always seemed like a nightmare batman was having.

This guy never played Metal Gear Solid V

20:20 To answer your question as to what the devs might have intended with Scarface, I have my own theory. Scarface is specifically located inside of Quincy Sharp's office, which I think is subtle foreshadowing that Quincy is merely a puppet in Strange and Ra's plan for Arkham and Gotham city as a whole.

I wish I could rate this video 5 stars, it is truly perfect and well made!

Look, i get what youre saying, but devil may cry really isnt a "play while doing/watching something else" game if youre playing above normal/going for S ranks since audio cues are pretty important. I actually have an easier time playing mgs while listening to something else since youve always got a radar or markers showing where enemies are making sound pretty unimportant compared to line of sight

The problem I have with this whole idea of Batman being just as evil by letting Joker live is that if Batman’s responsible for NOT killing Joker then by that logic every single person in the city is just as culpable for Jokers actions. Jokers and Joker alone is responsible for his own actions. Anyone could kill him. Batman doesn’t kill people. He’s barking up the safest tree trying to tempt Bats into committing murder. What makes Jokers life Batman’s personal responsibility? It’s like asking the parent you know will say yes and wondering why you always get what you want.

This was amazing. Thank you

Very well crafted video in both pacing and ideal focus. Really gets me in a Batman deep dive kick.

18:47 Technical we do have it in the comics. In the anniversary version we get storyboard version that show him in the outfit full force.

The stealth in AC mirage is great. It's not amazing, but you can tell that the devs put more time and thought into the games stealth mechanics rather than its combat. Speaking of combat. The combat in AC Mirage sucks so its a given that the stealth is better thought out. Even so I believe that the stealth gameplay in Mirage is a definite improvement upon other recent Assassins Creed games.

r/batmanarkham: a horror retrospective

Yeah I kinda agree that a lot of rpg gameplay feel tedious and disconnected with the story. I do it so I get the reward to watch the cutscene. At this point, why don't I just go to youtube and watch the compilation. But even then, there is a lot of uninteresting moment in the story with only a few interesting story element since they want to make it a long experience. If you ever heard of Jonathan Blow, game developer of The Witness and Braid, he mention that there is very little innovation in game in terms of storytelling. A lot of game pretty much copy how movie does it. It is not innovative enough like the transition from theatre into film making. Film-making innovate camera angle, framing, composition, color grading, etc (Stuff that you can only do with a camera). RPG most of the time just feel like a segmented movie with a gameplay that is tedious in between. Nowadays I just like game with a simple story that don't take it seriously, but have interesting gameplay.

I think horror games is a great home for stealth games. Instead of the hunter lurking in the shadows, you’re the mouse hiding in the shadows from the monster. Sneaking isnt how you get passed enemies it’s how you survive. Alien isolation for example. Failing stealth is failure, but you still feel you have the control and abilities till succeed

btw barbra gordon is the light bc she’s in a wheelchair 😭 her legs would lack a lot of mass

I’ve been forcefully committed to a mental hospital before. Although nothing horrific happened to me while I was there, I am still terrified of being hospitalized again. I was stuck there and no matter how desperately I wanted to go home, I was trapped inside. To this day I still refer to the hospital as Arkham.

stealth will only feel rewarding when it is relegated to side quest where the developers can have enough time to polish the mechanics which would make it more satisfying for the player also if the player goes out their way to tackle those harder than normal side quest are rewarded with proper loot and gear that will sway rng in favor for player. Essentially quest not mandatory for main quest but most rewarding if completed.

Pro tip: If you're going to a psych ward, make sure it's willingly. Involuntary hold is Hell on Earth. Nobody listens, and you're expected to just fall in line as if you deserve to be there. I got yelled at for saying a single swear, and they dragged some girl off and shoved a needle in her ass because she was crying in the hallway. Psych wards are inherently flawed, run by idiots who think they know everything and staff that can throw you around and blame it on you because you're the one locked in the psych ward and not them.

i was going to listen to this while going to sleep but now i just found out about comicstorian passing away. that's fucking tragic and i'm sure he led many many more like me to falling in love with comics. rip legend <3

What's the music you used around 31:40?

Ghost recon wildlands does stealth perfectly imo, you dont have to wait 20 minutes to actually get a kill, you just wait 10 seconds till the guys alone, shoot him and keep moving

Why does the intro to the “conclusion” segment sound like you were about to spit bars

A Tittle to stir interest and debate, an essay to reap the rewards. I see you…

Was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the detail and care put into this video, instant sub! Also love the RDR2 music for the Amadeus segments, fit perfectly

Watching this while replaying arkham asylum

If Skyrim stealth wimps weren't busy hiding they'd be very upset 😂

I see Styx, i like.

Really happy I found your channel. And I enjoyed the cheeky poke at nakeyjakey. I enjoy their content, as well as Jack sather

Still watching but hear scanning a room is good when the sound design or enemy routes tend to be piss poor. A good stealth game gives opportunity so we don't need things like hear scanning. Your player base shouldn't be essentially soft locked in what is essentially a pass or fail game type.

Personally I assumed the reason why we didn't see jokers cell was because he was constantly changing cells because inmates didn't want him next to them or the staff didn't want him to formulate a plan to escape

Okay lord Shimura 😐

It’s a crime to include only 8 ds3 bosses and 14 Elden Ring since ds3 has more good bosses than ER. I mean… how can you put only 8 if you have Gael, Midir, Demon princes, Friede, SoC, Twin princes, Champion Gundyr, Abyss Watchers, Nameless king, Dragonslayer Armour, Pointiff, Dancer…

I think stealth is boring if your good at it That’s why I like it 🤣

Perfect video. Subscribed

The mannequin could be of clayface because i remember he have one in his cell. So maybe it ended in the sewers in one of his escapes of arkham and having in mind he would fit though pipes makes sense

Intravenous 2 released a few months ago and is one of my favourite stealth games. It toes the lone between hardcore and straight forward, where the stealth mechanics are fun and allow you to set up epic gameplay moments, but if you get caught you can be punished really hard. But also the combat is super fun as well, so even if things go wrong youre probably still gonna have a good time

Just started replaying Asylum again, this video found me at the perfect time

I wish I could like this twice

"Bwahaha " naw i love that lol his way of telling us anyone watching this should hopefully know this shit now lets move on

I mean, you can definetly do a game with both full berserker mode and sneaky ninja with somewhat a good level design for both, Metal Gear Solid 5 was a great example, specially Afganistan But games like Tarkov can in some manner appeal to that, since a tier 1 guy can sneak on full blood thristy tier5s in the same maps

I really like how stylized your editing is and you can feel the tension of the setting through your narration you should do more horror stuff bro definitely subscribing

Stealth was great in the spider-man trilogy and Ghost of Tsushima was pretty good but was still quite easy

I really like that in the modern comics they’ve turned Bruce’s mum Martha into an Arkham and she had a lot of mental illnesses through her life due to this bloodline. It makes you question Bruce’s sanity. Wondering if he would be damaged mentally even if his parents hadn’t died, because of him being half Arkham

Honestly i assume joker dosen't have a dedicated cell to make it harder too escape cause if you leave him in the one cell long enough he will find out a way too escape Much like batman you give joker enough time he can escape anything And as for the riddler trophies i always assumed the more hidden ones were actually riddler placing them in secret and the more obvious ones were placed by some if riddlers inside men once the events of asylum take place

didn't ask

Arkham Asylum has a sheer degree of atmosphere that none of the other games in the Arkham series ever truly captured again- a choice perhaps for their betterment, as a tradeoff for the tone those games wanted to strike and as more ideas for the series developed… but Arkham Asylum remains my favorite for its unparalleled ambiance alone. The experience is not so much the actual Joker-Titan surface plot, but its dissection of the Batman mythos and a pretty stunning indictment of the existence of Arkham Asylum in the lore and critique of Batman’s ideals in his methods and modus operandi- never openly criticized by the game, but insinuated and inferred through every crack in the crumbling Asylum, its torturous medieval-looking medical equipment, the callous and unethical treatment of villains under a clinical, insidious veneer of a rehabilitation mission, and all scathingly wrapped up in the fact that for not the Joker’s breakout scheme, this would have been just another night for Batman. To capture and deposit criminals back here, to leave villains to the clutches of the Asylum and walk away with this comic mantle we place upon him as Gotham’s protector and the hero. I am so happy someone is putting to words how special Asylum is from the horror perspective, what I’ve felt but have struggled to articulate for so long.
