Batman Arkham City is a great game that at times feels so close to perfection and as a whole is almost perfect. I plan to obviously expand on this thesis within this Arkham City Review. With Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad being announced it's important to look back on the Arkham series to see what is up to this point, the pinnacle of Batman in video games. I have already done an Arkham Origins Critique, an Arkham Asylum Critique, and an Arkham Knight Critique, and you can find links below to those videos. I recommend you watch them after watching this Batman Arkham City Critique. You could also use this series as a Batman Arkham Explained series too. I noticed a lot of people being upset at the Gotham Knights Trailer but I am personally excited for some new Batman IP's. I know a lot of you are looking forward to my Arkham City video which is evident by the number of searches I have seen for That Boy Aqua Arkham City. Ok, enough rambling please enjoy this look at Batman Arkham City Years Later

Batman Arkham Asylum was a really great game, and a lot of people, including myself, were patiently anticipating it’s sequel. It had great characters, afun map, and gameplay that is still addictive to this day. Topping such a great product is not an easy task however somehow Rocksteady took what made Arkham Asylum so good and improved on and expanded upon it in every way. The combat had more depth, the map was greatly expanded, the story was longer and more complex, and the boss fights saw a significant upgrade. That however does not mean that there are not some problems.
Batman Arkham City is one of the most requested videos on my channel and that’s for a few reasons. The first is likely because it's the most popular Arkham game and it’s widely considered to be one of the best superhero video games ever made. The other reason is because it’s not my favourite. Now I know this is probably one of my more unpopular opinions but I want to clarify that it’s not like I don’t like Arkham City nor do I think it’s terrible by any means. I just don’t think it’s the masterpiece a lot of people make it out to be. I believe that while on paper, everything here is excellent but when it's all within the same context of this game, it appears to be lesser than the sum of its parts. It’s not like everything here is excellent but most things here are fantastic and I overall rank this game highly amongst the games I’ve played even if I don’t rate it the highest within the Arkham series. I have in previous videos mentioned where I rank some of the Arkham games and alot of you know that generally speaking Arkham Knight is my favourite and origins is up there too. I will try and give a definitive ranking of the games at the end of this video as the order of my list has changed.
While the main campaign was a lot of fun for the most part it was unfortunately bogged down by some repetitive gameplay and a plot that felt more like a wild goose chase rather than accomplishing a grander goal. The world while being fleshed out lore wise and while it looks very aesthetically pleasing, traversing this map is made to be quite boring by the end of the game due to its strange horseshoe design. All of this left me feeling really torn on whether or not I really liked Arkham City because it felt like the highs were so high but the lows were so low. Regardless I will give my thoughts on the game and try to explain my praises and grievances to the best of my ability.

I’d have to disagree, Hugo strange does a lot in the background, when you do the riddler trophies you get tapes of strange talking to all the villains. He’s the one who tells two face where catwoman at the start, he uses mad hatter to get hypnosis tricks to control the Quincy sharp and he’s the one who gave Nora to joker and gave freeze to penguin.

@@ThatBoyAqua Also, Strange also does stuff with Batman's identity. The reason he does not kill Batman immediately is that he needs him to be a part of Protocol 10. And in the bad ending where Catwoman escapes Arkham city with the stuff in Strange's vault, Tyger seizes control of Wayne manor and kills Alfred, Gordon, and presumably Oracle. So strange does take advantage with his knowledge of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Making him my favorite villain in the Arkham series.

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double "Wall hacks" usually refer to being able to see people through walls in a shooter, not shooting through said walls. Aqua's use of the term is correct.

@ThatBoyAqua 3 года назад

@@Highonwater3X Yes. In COD you can shoot people through walls regardless of if you can see them. This is reffered to as a "wall bang". In Batman's case, the batarang can not in ideal conditions hit a target through a wall, hence why wall hacks wouldn't fix it. I'm sure there are some shooters in which some hacks allow you to shoot through walls when you could not before however in Modern Warfare, with certain attatchments on guns such as the AS-Val, you can shoot through 5 foot thick rocks without any cheats or hacks. Assuming you use a spotter grenade and see exactly where the person is on the other side.

@shemothy 3 года назад

I think the appeal of the story that makes it “best in the series” for so many is kind of the same reason that you (and others) didn’t enjoy it as much. The wild goose chase plot feels like a classic comic book story (like Hush (for example) in the way it kind of serves as a tour of the Batman universe’s greatest hits. It may not be the most interesting or provocative script but there’s a certain delight in being bounced between all these different characters and story beats that you already know while you’re getting to the bottom of the ultimate mystery.

The good thing is that most of them like the Titan container Quest are placed nearby to your story objectives so it's never an inconvenience to pursue them.

Reading the stories you get from solving all the riddles and listening to all the audio reels you get at the end make the story much more satisfying. Also, I feel like you missed out on the fact that Strange doesn’t intend on exposing Bruce’s identity, he wants to humiliate Batman (making Arkham Knights story even more pointless). He just wants to destroy everything Batman has worked towards. Strange is also obsessed with Batman, another detail shown through the aforementioned audio reels and riddle stories

@shawns6748 3 года назад

I also disagree with your complaint on the story being a “wild goose chase”. This is a completely subjective opinion so your missing nothing. I just feel that the elements are woven together very well and the story plays out like different issues of a comic. With Catwoman being a tie in, and Jokers death being less of a sabotage of the ending and more of an epilogue.

@ThatBoyAqua 3 года назад

Thanks for watching guys! I want to make a quick edit. Shawn S pointed out that Hugo had no intention of killing Batman but instead killing the legacy of the Batman. He also was obsessed with the dark knight to an unhealthy degree. This can be found out by listening to the many audio logs within the game. Also my joke about Harley Quinn having jiggle physics is just a joke. I don’t actually base my enjoyment of a character based on the size of their polygonal curves or sex appeal. I genuinely didn’t like Harley’s design in this game and it just had to do with the costume design. It was a mockery of those who will actually use Harleys sex appeal to explain why this game is good.

@TheJuggerClutch 3 года назад

I get why you say narratively the story is weak, but I think the setting really helped sell the story, along with all the little pieces of lore in the arkham city stories you get from riddles. if this goose-chase existed in the entire city of gotham without the concept of arkham city then it sounds pretty lame. but since every supervillain is locked in a broken down slum with a finite amount of resources and control they can have it makes for a very interesting playing field to put batman and his enemies in. Yes, everything is a wild goose chase because Batman's been placed smack-dab in a mega-prison powder keg filled with extreme personalities all locked in together with their own conflicting agendas with so much happening in the background at any point in the story that make everything feel real. things DO happen outside of batman's perception because arkham city is such a sprawling, out of control gang warzone with a lot going on. besides everything he does to/with batman, joker is planning a breakout and steals nora from freeze. bane is lurking around collecting titan, deadshot and hush are going around killing their targets. penguin captures freeze and discovers a platoon of undercover cops in his gang. somewhere below the streets talia and the league are waiting to give ra's another trip to the lazarus pit. and the whole time while you try to solve all these things, you are being watched and studied. by strange, azrael, tyger, the league, and the riddler to some extent. this along with being trapped in a prison bring some element of creepiness that wasn't really present in origins/knight. you may be batman, but you're batman in place that's already way out of control by the time you arrive and is only getting more unstable. the way the story is told and played is less about the actual narrative points and more about the setting and how it affects both batman and his villains.

Free roam, no enemy levels--just learning how to fight, the characterization of Batman and his villains, the atmosphere, the awesome stealth rooms, the Riddler trophies that force you to perfect all of Batman's abilities (as opposed to Asylum and Knight, which largely just left them lying around) including physical abilities, the replayability, the alternate costumes, the campaign maps and challenges...it's like this game was made for me, specifically.

While I agree that the main story feels disjointed and often unrelated for the sake of stringing you on, that's part of why I love the story. As you said, each segment feels great in isolation, and for me, it's like each segment is an issue of a comic series, with the overall story being the equivalent of a full comic book arc.

@theotherbeatle707 3 года назад

Yeah! Plus everything is explained Hugo Strange is The Mastermind behind everything he gives the motivations or forces the villains to do things they don't want to do. In City the main bad guy was kind of lame because you already beat him early but the motivation still makes sense and it's a thousand percent more impactful and unexpected than Arkham Knight.

@RecklessBeast1 3 года назад

Another problem I had with Arkham City's story was the lead up to the Mr. Freeze boss fight. Dont get me wrong the boss fight itself was spectacular but the narrative around it never made any sense to me. Batman saves Mr. Freeze from the penguin, gives him his suit, and has been working with Batman throughout the game in order to create a cure. Mr. Freeze finally makes the cure for Batman, yet because Joker threatened him with his wife, Mr. Freeze decides to destroy one of the two antidotes while asking Batman to go find his wife. That was so dumb because not only did Freeze know Batman was dying, but Mr. Freeze could've just given Batman the cure and Batman would've saved his wife anyways.I have to assume that Freeze has known Batman for years at this point, he knows how Batman operates and he's been working with him the entire time. It made no sense at all.

@difference3maker36 3 года назад

It felt like when they were writing the story here Rocksteady was like “hey we should have a boss fight with Mr.Freeze” so they programmed the boss but forget to change the setup to the boss to make sense it feels like this boss wasn’t supposed to be here in the first place.

@RecklessBeast1 3 года назад

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double So it was better for Freeze to destroy the antidote in front of him knowing that it would cause Batman to try and stop him? He doesn't even try to come up with a compromise. Mr. Freeze has every reason to trust Batman at that point in time, and I have to assume he knows that Batman won't abandon an innocent person in need of help, hell Batman saved Nora in Arkham Knight and finds her in Arkham City anyways. But its just my grip with it, luckily the actual boss fight was good.

@RecklessBeast1 3 года назад

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double “your grip does not take account the facts that Batman has never encountered anything like Arkham city” what does that have to do with mr freeze? Freeze is the one who destroyed the antidote and brought the fight to him, not Batman. I understand Batman has never encountered anything before Arkham city however it doesn’t make any sense as to why freeze did what he did. The end result was only for him to lose, attempt to give him the other antidote anyways (which Harley stole), and made Batman waste time. Batman saved mr. freeze, he gave him his suit, and he even let him work safely in the lab in order to come up with a solution to antidote, and Batman even saved Nora anyways afterwards. Why wouldn’t Mr freeze trust Batman at that point? It’s because the story needed him to act stupid so they can put in a boss fight. Like I said, boss fight itself was great, it’s just that the narrative around it was lame to me.

@RecklessBeast1 3 года назад

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double Exactly, the thugs didn’t Kill her and Batman ended up saving her anyways. “So Batman couldn’t fucking steal and run away...” That would’ve only happened had Mr freeze threaten Batman to kill him, which he did. Mr freeze knew Batmans body was dying, and was physically unable to keep going without the antidote. Agree to disagree but I’m done arguing.

I want to add something to your "Hugo Strange doesn't do anything with Batman's identity" point.

@@Creepa99 Literally I like Knight it's fun, but the story didn't do it. Sure they improved mechanics, but the story for Knight had problems. First why do they keep showing Jason getting tortured, then show the Arkham Knight as Jason Todd! It literally basically made everyone 100% sure it was Jason, and Rocksteady lied about it being a new character for the game. Another is the bosses, one of the worst parts of Knight, literally most are one hits or tank battles, the one that disappoints a lot of people was Deathstroke, as in Origins had one of the best boss battles in the Arkham series if not the best boss in the series with it feeling like a movie or comic fight scene, but in this it was just a tank battle then jump out of a vehicle and knock him out. Boss battles weren't even battles. Next, the Batmobile was over used, which I get because it was a new mechanic, but it was overused, with tank battle or charging think or chases, it just used way too much, but it was still fun for that Arkham Knight tunnle chase. That was really it for me, I still play it, but the story needed some work done to it.

Great video, Aqua! You are an absolute inspiration. I'm struggling in school really hard right now, and I don't even have a cool video essay RU-vid channel, lol I still consider Arkham City my favorite of the series, and I've played it more than any other entry, but recently every time I try to replay it I don't get very far before I get bored and put it down again. I think you're right about the narrative feeling like a bit of a goose chase which brings the pacing down. I think, objectively speaking, Origins is definitely an improvement, and doesn't deserve so much hate, but I think that when it came out, it felt like far too incremental of an improvement over City, and that's why it felt so disappointing. I still attest that the narrative in Origins is pretty unremarkable, and my best evidence for that is that I've replayed it twice (3 total playthroughs), and I never remember any of the story beats. I'm not sure what it is about that game, but it vanishes from my mind immediately after I play it every time.

@VirusMakerv2 3 года назад

@Matt Mercer's Stunt Double I'm not saying Origins isn't a goose chase (I don't even remember any of the narrative arcs from Origins anymore), just that City is a bit of one, and that doesn't preclude Origins from being one too. I feel like you think I'm being more negative that I mean to be. I really like City. I've beaten it more than 6 times, and it's the one I still want to replay to this day whenever I have an itch for more Arkham. I've played through Origins a handful of times too, and I never enjoy it as much as I enjoy City.

@kevinnalisa595 3 года назад

The only thing I'd have a disagreement on is the story being a "wild goose chase". I just think it's hard to call City a "wild goose chase" without asking what would Knight's or Asylum's story be deemed as then. The game still needs room to be a game in my opinion. Imagine if we got the cure right after we fought freeze or even before that. The game would've been so much shorter and it was meant to build to the tension of, for better or worse, that Batman may die. Or worse if Freeze was able to make the cure from the start we wouldn't have gotten the Mr. Freeze boss fight or even the Ra's Al Ghul which are at the top of the best in the series. Like you've said in your other reviews, you have to have a level of disbelief or otherwise the game won't be a game. For the sake of gameplay, the game may rush over some points or even extend them to provide more gameplay. P.S. Your videos are awesome man, keep doing what you're doing! And I totally respect your point and the way you back it up, good stuff!

@masterwolfgaming3436 3 года назад

I agree with you that the other game's stories are more or less chases too, but I personally find that Arkham City takes it a little too far. Not only do you end up having to travel the entire map multiple times (which starts to get boring), but overall I felt like most of the story was you getting the things you need to make the cure only to have it being stolen from you. You literally spend something like 50 minutes (or for me, 2 hours) playing the game to make the cure, so to have it be ripped away from you at the end of the process is really exhausting. Plus, Hugo Strange didn't really have a lot to do with the actual story (Like I said, most of it is you trying to make the cure), and because of that, he more felt like a another obstacle to me then a villain.

Decided to give this a rewatch since I've been slowly making my way through the franchise again after your first Arkham upload. I really have to agree with you when it comes to the story, especially since it makes me feel vindicated about my own feelings about it. The story is perfectly serviceable, but it's mainly there to get a huge rogue's gallery into the span of one game. It has some real highlights, but I don't feel like it does it as successfully as Asylum, and the charm of the first encounters also makes Origin's story a lot more enjoyable. I haven't replayed Knight yet, but I remember absolutely loving it back when it came out and won't be surprised in doing so again. I don't think it's worth making such a fuss over, but I feel like a lot of the fanbase have nostalgia goggles on and remember their first playthrough when they say City has the best story in the franchise. If you're out there reading this and love City's story the most though, your opinion is perfectly valid and I can't say City is bad or just fine by any means, it definitely is good and the game as a whole is great. The riddler trophy rewards definitely do flesh it out though if you take the time to get them, so I wonder if that's part of the reason people remember it so fondly.
