Batman: Arkham Asylum | The Completionist
/ thatonevideogamer
Okay I have a fun anecdote about the scarecrow crash. I was round my friend's house and we were playing Asylum, then when it got to that crash point it said "the disc is unreadable" so we just waited but the disc was genuinely unreadable
Nice, very Nice.
The disc committed oof at the perfect timing
I was expecting that part during my playtrough,and was verry confused when a real crash happened instead.
The Riddler: "What has holes and travels down an alley?"
Bruce Wayne: "My parents..."
The Riddle: "Oh god no, I meant a bowling ball."
Lmfao!
Jesus and I thought I was dark
I was gonna say catwoman XD
bruh, no
It is not okay but I took a screenshot of this comment
My favorite Joker line in this game:
"Me? In a thong!?!?"
Gives me chills. So pasty...ick!
Lmao!
I always imagine a buff body and tropical island with it
Pasty and green. Like ur mom's blue waffle

Stay all the way through the credits, its worth it.
couldn't agree more
Glad I read your comment .
thankyou! :D
Totally! It's interesting though that the characters who grab the titian container change every playthrough though (I got Scarecrow on my first and most recent playthrough, but I also once got bane)... It's an awesome hint to the phenomenal sequel nonetheless!
@@Luke-xi2pq scarecrow is the canonical one.
I actually liked the design for Titan joker. But the actual boss battle wasn’t that exciting.
Agreed...
He looks badass
One of the most underwhelming ever
Same
I thought his Mohawk was really mentally disabled
I'm not a regular viewer by any means but you've won all my respect for being such a fucking trooper dude. Most people would just sit back in the recovery period, but good on you man. We all appreciate the work you do for us
apophis456 well, it's his job, so it's not like he could afford to sit back and not do anything...
I'm sure leg surgery ain't cheap...
In the UK all surgery is free :-). One of the many things the USA could learn From us.
Rick Rude That seems economically inefficient. I understand how useful it is for people, but it could easily put hospitals out of business unless it was funded something else.
Rick Rude that is the case in most european countries like here in finland.
Also you need to wait and be a proved in the UK to get the operation and the us population is five times that of the Uk
These 4 games (knight included) will forever be some of my favourite series of games...ever.
Saying "these 4 games" implies that Knight is included :V
There was an Arkham black gate sooooo
@@CassieCatagon If anyone considered Blackgate when referring to the Arkham Series itself, there's probably some sort of issue that needs to be resolved.
Same :)!
Knight sucked. Batmobile was so lame when it became required to do puzzles, races and even fuckin stealth on a tank. It would've been cool if it was just a method of transport and aid in combat
Joker: *traps every prisoner of the asylum inside the asylum to kill Batman.*
Batman: oh, I'm not trapped in here with you. Your trapped in here with me.
"Who even IS that"
"Um excuse me, that's King Tut. He's a Egyptologist at Gotham U who, when hit on his head, thinks he's King Tut and becomes a villain. He was made for the TV sh-"
At that moment I realized I probably read too many comics and/or watched too much TV in my life...
This game could only be better if there was a downloadable Adam West, with bat-labeled gear and NOT ripped.
It's sad that the Adam West original villains like King Tut and Egghead aren't allowed in the main continuity.
Dont ever apologize for being educated in your craft bro
No such thing
@@r.w.fields and a filter that makes the game cel-shaded, to give it an animated series/comic look to it.
Jirard, I hope you feel better, man. It's amazing you can deliver this quality content whilst recovering from surgery. Keep it up
Why do I see you everywhere..
Star Lord Does it matter?
Haedox fair enough
Star Lord i know right? this guy's is everywere...
i remember that disscution about profile pics...
Aren't you a fan of mother?
I like City more than Asylum, just because it has a lot more content than Asylum, plus the gameplay is much better.
I love the feel of asylum though and city as much of a masterpiece as it was lost that feeling I love them both the same
Cavan Matcham Same man
They made the fighting (for example) even better in City
the story is also better,city improved upon asylum in everything,same as knight improved upon city in evertything
@@alphagamer9505 every thing but the boss fights
Asylum better atmosphere then City.
City better gameplay then Asylum.
Thoughts? Agree, disagree?
munnypantz Agreed
munnypantz I can agree. The gameplay felt WAY better in City.
munnypantz I mostly agree. I liked the new take downs in City and the gliding was lots of fun. There was also more variety with boss battles. It all was built on the solid game play of Asylum. Just more bells and whistles.
Overall I think Asylum had better story flow, except the ending. I think Asylum did better balancing the various story lines, but City had a better Joker story.
Agreed. The only problem I have with city is that ITS SO HARD.
munnypantz Gameplay feels better in City, disagree with atmosphere. It depends on the location.

I'm so glad someone mentioned how good Mark Hamil's performance is in this game. It was my favorite part of the game.
4:00 that guy is King Tut. A batman villain from the silver age. He is an archaeologist who claims he is the reincarnation of Egyptian pharaoh King Tut.

@@SWHSMonsters 😘
I think that part of what made Arkham Asylum really work for me--along with it being a solid game--was that it felt like a grown up version of Batman the Animated Series, which I watched as a kid. The voices of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill along with some of the music cues just made it feel like coming back to something I loved as a kid but being able to enjoy it as an adult.
So I Once Tried For The 100% Completion But When I Got To 97% My Cousin Deleted My Save. #TrueStory
Close enough
I tried to 100% Lego Jurassic world and I made it to 99.7% and I just gave up
harry patey What was that .3 percent for?
Trace your cousin crossed a line. There's no reason to ever delete someone else's save file.
Trace Beat the shit out of her
The first game, along with Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight, Spiderman (PS4), and GoW (2018), that set me down the road of 100 percent compeltionist with all of my games and I love doing it ever since then! Its always extremely satisfying exploring and doing EVERYTHING a game has to offer, albeit it can be a little bit time consuming and exhausing after a while I still enjoy platinuming my favorite games :)!
"Hey, Jirard. What are you going to do while you recover"
"Same thing I always do, Try to complete the world!"
Underrated current, Brain! Narf!
Watching these in reverse and hearing him get progressively more positive towards the Riddler challenges is pretty funny.
I went into the Arkham games knowing little about DC other than that there was Batman, the Joker and the Penguin. Yet I still loved them to pieces. You don't need to know anything about the DC Universe when you play those games, anything you need to know is taught to you by the games allowing you to ease into them.
Hell these games made me want to find out more about the DC Universe than I would have without these games. Arkham Asylum alone got me excited to play it barely a few minutes in, which is more than I can say for alot of games.
Plus they're bloody damn well made games. They're easy to get into and have just enough difficulty at the right times.
"Support Yooka-Laylee" oh how I'm glad I didn't
can we get an F in the chat
L
(Sigh) Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy😔
This is the game that got me interested in batman
It was the game that took me from liking batman to being in love with the character and considering him my personal favorite hero of all time :)!
Actually, I heard Batman for NES was pretty decent.
zedersteel NSSmod decent but a pain in the ass to finish, I have it
zedersteel NSSmod It's great, but one hard son of a bitch.
Its not bad but it's not like the greatest game of all time because of its difficultly
zedersteel NSSmod The game's music is fucking awesome!
zedersteel NSSmod It is definitely one of the best licensed games on the NES. Sunsoft in general was the king of movie-to-game adaptations back in the day.
"Tell me batman, what are you really scared of? ME!? IN A THONG!!??"
Joker in a thong is more horrifying than anything Scarecrow's fear gas can make you see.
10:49 This game came out during the time the RROD and to a lesser extent YLOD problems were still largely relevant issues You can imagine people on PS3 and 360 seeing this glitch fearing their consoles were actually malfunctioning for real, their greatest fear. Well played Scarecrow.
Ohhhhh no that's absolutely evil! 😆
I cant wait for return to arkham later this month, I need a reason to play these again
Despite my devotion to mostly sticking to jrpg's and anime style games. This is one of the few non-anime style games I really want to try when I have the free time to do so. I've been a big fan of batman: the animated series and I think Batman has one of the best rogue gallery of villains compared to every other superhero. I feel pretty confident that I will enjoy this game when I do play it and my wife is a very huge batman fan as well.
TheCompletionist have you played persona 5?
I'd forgot how great the interview pieces you collect were. This game while being the beginning-to-be-improved-upon still holds a couple of key aspects over its peers. The collecting is less bloated out and feels immediately rewarded, and there's something to be said for making every area in a relatively tight space characterful and important.
11:17 my favorite game over screen
Pervert.
@@aratwithinternetaccess8381 you waited a year to respond to my comment. Let that sink in for a moment
@@savageeclipse7362 I didn't wait a year I just saw this comment today. Also I just like insulting shit heads.
@@aratwithinternetaccess8381 well your insult doesn't bother me so cry me a river.
P.S: I actually forgot about this comment when I made it last year
Edit: Technically you did wait a year because if you didn't you would have responded to the comment sooner.
@@savageeclipse7362 I used that comment as a "you did this last year, you're a pervert." Also at least make a good counter insult. Also if it didn't bother you then you wouldn't respond.
Wait a minute...Watcher in Darksiders was voiced by Mark Hamil??!!
Am I really the only one who didn't notice that ?
Yes
Nah, no, nope, nah... *sighs*
Anbox I still haven't played much of Darksiders, so I wouldn't know either way xD
I noticed it straight away
I remember when I first played this game. The crazy thing that went through my head at the time was how unpredictable to combat felt. It too me about to the final fight towards the joker before I finally started to notice the repetition with the combat.
Not even joking right after he talked about the scarecrow crash my video stopped loading and I thought it was a prank but my uni wifi is actually just trash lol
This was one of the GREATEST games I've ever played!
I got all the trophies in Asylum, City and Origins. One more to finish Knight.
The riddler trophies suck
@@grimreaper7203 Asylum is easy as hell tho in terms of Riddler trophies and City was pretty creative with some of the trophies. Origins and Knight were a chore however.
Congratulations from a fellow completionist! I really hope Jirard does a review of Knight eventually, that game and Uncharted 4 are my most desired reviews from him!!!
I think I'm the only one that didn't have an issue with the ending.
I just beat the main campaign a few minutes ago (at the time I'm writing this), and I thought the ending was fine too. Mark Hamill is still a fantastic voice actor, even in the final moments. :)
me to
1. The Joker as a brute makes no sense and goes against the whole point of his character
2. The fight itself is terrible. You don't fight Joker, you just avoid like 2 sets of 2 swings, and he goes up to let you fight his goons. Then you have to pull him down with the batclaw while his back is turned when he showboats for the helicopters, then repeat. So basically the fight is fighting normal enemies. And the fact that joker keeps turning his back to you and falling for the same thing is dumb.
The explosive gel righthook is dope though
It wasn't necessarily the ending, imo... It was the final boss fight that was the actual problem many have with the game, it was just kinda anti-climatic, dull, and repetitive final boss battle, we were all hoping for something that was among the awesome Scarecrow boss battles and/or any of the amazing boss battles in Arkham City!
Dang, Jirards still in a lot of pain. Recover soon, bro.
I love this game, and I love Arkham City even more, Origins ain't bad either.
And feel better soon Jirard.
I remember that Scarecrow crash. My Memory card was fucked. So my first time playing I couldn’t save. I stayed up allll day to beat it, got to that crash and shat my fucking pants. My stomach felt like a brick got dropped in it. The kind you get when a girl breaks up with you. I was petrified. Then it began the opening cutscene and I remember throwing my controller at the wall, only to notice after I picked it up that the Arkham Asylum sign in the game cutscene was different... then I was Joker... I haven’t felt so relieved by a game in such a way since... then I laughed like the Joker after killing...
15:30 In the PS3 Version, (at least) you'll even get an Achievement for beating up all 30 of them.
Probably my favorite scene in the game (and the series really) was the slow buildup to Scarecrow's reveal tbh.
Well paced and got me REALLY CONFUSED. and scared
that jumpscare really got me i didnt expect it
Woah Jirard! Letting beard grow out!
He needs to: It is his Trademark and he needs to have one in order to be considered a Super Beard Bro :P
Ive been requesting this since day one, glad its finally happened.
Even ten years later it still a great game!
Actually replaying it. Thru steam goty edition :D really dark, astonishing masterpiece. Kinda love it more than City I cant help myself
Mark Hamill also did a great job on voicing Firelord Oazi in avatar the last airbender
Oh hey guys, what's up, I'm recovering from leg cancer, how about those video games?
Chris it’s been 3 years, how did the recovery go?
@@lachlankerr5448 they're referring to the fact jirard got a tumor taken out of his leg that is mentioned at the begining of this episode.
He didn't have cancer, tumors =/= cancer.
@@Joseph-li3df I assume it was hyperbole
The final scarecrow fight really had me convinced that I was crashing even though I was playing on pc
Hope you feel better man! it must be tough to edit for you. Amazing Job Keep it Up!
Royboy140 pretty sure he has editors who edit. That'd be the guy he was talking to at the end about "do whatever you want".
It markiplier
yes, finally you're playing the Batman games
i can't wait for the Arkham City review, that's my second favorite game of all time
Jesus Jirard, take a break! Don't get me wrong, I love the completionist but you defiantly deserve a break after tumor operation. The true fans will understand. You work is of the utmost quality and the vast majority of fans won't mind if you need a bot of time for yourself. stay awesome, Chemical Burns
I Agree, Take A Break.
(Hate Surgery)
Chemical Burns I think he'd like to, but the reason he and many other TH-camrs put up one video a week is because of the way TH-cam and its statistics work. I can't remember the specifics, but if you miss a week it's almost the equivalent of falling off the fact of the earth to TH-cam.
ZerogunRivale Additionally, I'm sure he's got plenty of time to be completing the games now.
Chemical Burns
this is the ONLY game which I really wanted to complete. Because the riddler challenges were so fucking well done and fun.
Hey, Jirard, you forgot to count Shadow of Mordor to the open-world Batman genre. It's even published and owned by the same company.
I'm replaying through Arkham City now, and I can't wait for Arkham Knight!
I feel your pain on surgery. next month, I am having surgery to remove a tumor in my brain.
Good luck fam
keked
Good luck
See ya hope you get better
Dijon The Don that's mean bro what the hell
Glad to hear the surgery went all right, Jirard! I'm happy you're still making videos. Hope you have a smooth and easy recovery!
Ever since this game came out I considered it a 3D metroidvania. Think about it.
It is, no doubt about that.
When I saw that you were doing Arkham Asylum, I was stoked! Arkham Asylum is probably one of the few games I've ever bothered to 100%. I'm a Finishist at most, and only go full-on Completionist if I really enjoyed the game. I bought a special bundle of the GOTY edition and an Arkham City controller two years ago on my birthday. I fell in love instantly. I assumed the cowl and became the Dark Knight Detective, and I solved ALL of the Riddler Challenges. Without walkthroughs, even! Though, admittedly, finding the Riddler Maps helps. This game is one of my favorites.
Except, you know, the challenges. I hate those.
16:56 for completionist bonus
Man, I had the same surgery last year. It sucked big time. Hope you feel better Jirard.
Hey, glad to hear you're alright, Jirard! Here's to a quick and pleasant recovery.
Also, that was a great video. Love the Arkham games, you should cover more in the future. ;)
I hope your recovery is going well, good luck with everything and make sure you recover
Can I please watch a single Completionist episode without people in the comments getting all whiny about Greg?
Are you serious? People still complain about JonTron leaving Game Grumps and it's been like a year and a half.
Jontron is possibly the only guy on TH-cam less funny than Greg.
Teflon Vaughn Greg leaving was handled a HELL of a lot better than Jon leaving Grumps
Arkham Asylum basically started all of the great post-credit superhero movie scenes!
Who else is here after the news?
Great to see you doing well, Jirard. One point many overlook about that final fight, is the goal wasn't a fistfight with Bats. Joker wanted Batman to lose himself in Titan. To become a monster. Beating the tar out of him was a backup plan.
Oh man, get well Jirrad!
You're my fav youtuber, that beard is yough as nails!
Joker: "You killed Captain Clown... YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN!!! Just for that, Batman...!" XD
The first time I was exposed go this game I watched my dad play it and it really contributed to Batman pretty much being my favorite hero (it also kind of terrified me 😂)
You and me both friend. Now I feel like They should lean into the horrific scenes and such, the jumpscares and horror type film techniques in these games.
RIP Batman 11/11/2022
5:30 um hey Jared...there's a funny story about hulk hogan
I know it was made before we found out it's called a joke
+TheBagelragel Um actually it's ProJirard: The Finishist and I expect you to address him so.
*Jirad
This Review really makes you feel like the completionist
Dude! When are you going to review the other Arkham games?
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this review. Let the campy Batman references commence!
please do Arkham Origins after City
oh, and good luck on the recovery
Wish you all the best in recovery and respect for making an episode. Love your shows. Keep up the good work.
Batman Begins on PS2 and Xbox as actually pretty good. I've beaten that game like 9 times. And I never made the Arkham Games = Jim Lee Art connection, but now that you mention it...
P.S. And Unity isn't that bad. It's actually my 2nd favourite AC game behind AC: II
Farmeryeti The Jim Lee art connection is primarily due to the fact that his art style is very realistic, though the one major difference in the Arkham visual style is that the colors are a lot darker.
***** Yeah, it is very similar now that I'm thinking about it.
Farmeryeti Though I guess it is even more similar to Alex Ross' art, which is famous for being hyper-realistic.
***** I feel like there's a lot of different inspirations when it comes to the artistic style.
To me, Arkham Asylum Batman looked like Michael Keaton.
Farmeryeti HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION GAMECUBE!!!
you forgot to mention mark hamill as Firelord Ozai in Avatar, and the Trickster in The Flash
"And then I pul lout my gun!"
Speaking of weird people, maybe you can review a Touhou game one day.
#Batman
7:45 "rly pretty" I love you Jirard
#feelings
He's also skips in regular show!
I like the reference where bane says "the bat is broken" as he's holding batman in the air and then breaks he's back.
Want that the ending was horrible it was that it was so basic...beat the bad guy and life goes on
I don't know it might be just another night of batman's life showing how badass he, especially seeing how even after breaking his arm he will still go after two face.
That awesome moment when your name is Steve and you keep listening till the credits. Love you too, dude.
Lol, Ima review Batman & Robin on the PS1 one day... it's sitting on my shelf... watching... waiting.
Rossy167 Still waiting......
First time I played this was on a PS3 owned by an old lady who's computer my dad was fixing. Apparently her son had moved to college and left the PS3 and games there. She asked me if I wanted to have the game as her son said he didn't even want the stuff anymore and she'd planned on selling the PS3. My dad's PS3 saw a lot of hours on this game back then thanks to that old lady. I have it on Steam now and despite having the entire Arkham collection, I still love playing this amazing classic
I loved the final fight and here's why. Is so like joker to do something unpredictable and BATs**t crazy. See what I did there.
I think the issue with the final boss battle in the eyes of many people, including myself, wasn't from a story angle but a gameplay perspective. The battle was just nothing new to the fans of the Arkham games and it was ultimately anti-climatic for all of us...
I always ALWAYS watch the end bits Jirard :D
I'm sorry, but seeing Jirard without a beard in the intro looks strange
Hard to believe this started out as a Batman-themed rhythm game. Glad to see they kept a sense of the rhythm in the combat.
I miss Greg so much...
Xiu Greyson shut up
I do too, I don't laugh at all during these videos anymore. When it tries to be funny it's just annoying. Oh well, it is what it is.
***** Same, I found him to be crazy annoying. Personally, I feel like it's a lot better with him gone.
That's cool, to each his own. I personally enjoyed his humor, but I understand it doesn't float everyone's boat.
Xiu Greyson I think Greg added a lot to the show, too. He didn't always hit the mark, but there's something to be said for trying. The show, now, doesn't even seem to be trying to be funny. Occasionally Jirard will stammer out some stuff, and I guess that's trying of it, but it's mostly just "whatever". It's certainly not funny, but it's unobtrusive.
Mark Hamill also voiced Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar The Last Airbender
I still miss Greg though.
Let it go
Greg favorite word "Bears!!!!!!!!!!!"
JackZake64 Piss off.
I do too. This is still informational, but I never laugh at all during these anymore. In fact when it tries to be funny it's kinda annoying. Oh well, it is what it is.
Greg was never funny, just had a very immature style of humour. I much prefer the show now without him. More for the grown ups.
i love how scarecrow uses the fear gas to not only scare batman, but to scare the player, making them think that the game crashed
#Batman
This was the first completion list episode I can actually remember seeing in my subscription feed
I need help from long-time fans: Which games (if any) have gotten the "Complete it" score by Jirard up till now? Haven't found one yet.
I thought, this game would get one for sure...
Btw, great video as always, Jirard!
Short games really. He gave the first game he reviewed, Mega Man X, a complete it rating. A lot of the older games he plays get a Complete It rating, but I think that's mostly because there's no completion bonus, so it's not saying much. Games in the post 2000 era he gave a complete it to of the top of my head are Borderlands, Kingdom Hearts and Portal 2
FloydMcRyan7 Shovel knight got a complete it .
Most games aren't really worth "completing". Once developers get to the point of designing content for people who play through games multiple times to find everything, they're just throwing out table scraps of stuff. They're not really designing a game to be played that way.
A recent one to get a complete it was Portal 2, there was also majoras mask and majoras mask 3d
Thanks, everyone! :)
So it was rather bad luck that I haven't stumbled upon one yet. Most of these are games I didn't want to spoil myself.
I had almost had a heart attack when Bruce’s parents bodies started talking
Same, lol! I was originally 10 or 11 years old when I played this game and it freaked the crap out of me, lmao!
