Classic Game Room - BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM for OnLive review

[169Phoenix]

PLAY IT ON HARD MODE THEN YOU SEE HOW HARD IT CAN BE!!! COS HE SAID THE GAME IS EASY

[Sc0pl355x2point0]

Batman is such a BAUS

[TheQwertyadmin]

"The average goons don't propose any threat"

He must be playing on easy.

[MegaSoaponarope]

@TheQwertyadmin or maby hes a pro

[SharinganLust]

@TheQwertyadmin Naw. Arkham Asylum was damn easy on Hard if you don't aim to keep a combo up. Spam square, whenever an enemy approaches you chances are you'll need to counter, stun and take downs on specific enemies. Its pretty easy... The only thing that gets more frustrating is the damage you take increases. Lol.

[VirtualRealityHero]

@SharinganLust batman forever the movie is better than this game and theres lots of colour in it too

[SharinganLust]

@VirtualRealityHero cool story bro

[mohsin213jc]

challenge mode is addicting as h3ll

[abisoxth]

so.. they didn't use the retarded voice from cristian bale dark night. And by the way, the nipples suit is the only thing you blame???, what a underwear fan boy you are

[MidnighWolf]

Bane there... Making the Gears Of War Berserker look like a 12 year old girl.

[ace0509cp]

you should get Batman Arkham city but not for Onlive the graphics stink.

[supermrmario123]

@ace0509cp they look the seam oh by the way i have both batman games

[Themastercode1235]

@ace0509cp Graphics whore.

[CptHellHound]

Onlives batman Arkham city worst graphics ever

[shmoozii]

@CptHellHound actually pong has the worst graphics ever

[blindedby2monkeys]

19 people wear their underwear INSIDE their panta

[SirRocketdog]

@blindedby2monkeys I do that my good sir WITH PRIDE!!

[halfpintgamescast]

busy for a while? I've only had about 18 hours gameplay and I've already finished the game and found all riddles.

[KoksRoxRambo]

If Batman Says It's not coolt you know it's realy NOT COOL

[ps3man76]

OK OK OK...arkham city? when?

[agent47gold]

@ps3man76 three days ago lol

[ps3man76]

@agent47gold meant the review



[wielkus]

i just got this in my subbox awesome

[AgentUsajr]

I Am The Night Til Midnight

[wariorcamicase]

i actually beated this game yesterday xD

[djklink20009]

i got this for one pound on uk onlive :D

[kirielvids]

somebody explain to me wtf onlive is. please. seriously from what i hear its a universal console and that means there is no reason why everyone would not own one

[MrSalmon88]

@kirielvids ive wonderd that too but notice it says 100s of games thats not that much expecially if a lot suck

[Timehn36k9voc]

Thumbs up if they should make this game for 3DS

[SuperMicklovin]

1:05 in the game that part scared the fuck outta me

[thomassu1697]

@secreteagent007 but the layout of them is like a ps3

[PIT6700]

i feel the same way you do about this game

[FCBayernMuenchen15]

Not saying you have a netbook, just showing comparison. xD

[FCBayernMuenchen15]

.99 cents on OnLive right now! Although my rig is pretty nice, and would look way better if I got it off Steam, you just can't beat .99 cents... And no, it'll play the same on your 200 dollar netbook and my $1000 desktop.

[nixhome1234]

that game looke frickin scary

[darkhedgehog45678]

@nixhome1234 you just made yourself look like a frickin pussy...

[JuanitoJohnes53]

its cool.... its not cool hahahahahaha

[elitemarcus100]

i wanted to ask is onlive need a good pc or just a good net connction

[justiceiscoming]

@elitemarcus100 You just need a good connection. You can download OnLive for free for your PC.

[megaflyman]

@elitemarcus100 Just an good internet connection. Not needing an really powerful PC to play new games is one of the selling points of onlive.

[Desaxeronex]

what i also really like in this game are the game over screens. Very originally done on this game.

[himaytattz]

I think mark hammil has to be my favorite joker of all time, with jack nicholson at a close second

[kirielvids]

@himaytattz not to be the mainstream guy but would that make heath ledger 3rd?

[TheMrSpartanking]

``It's friggin huge!'' That's what she said

[Jetski20203]

i find the lego version more intertaning

[LordValor001]

@Jetski20203 i find your spelling most entertaining.....

[stratisfire]

@secreteagent007 its because its a pc game. the pc games use the xbox wired controllers

[RinzSach]

i think its a bit like ac and joker in the game sounds like stewie from family guy

[TedMan55]

I currently have this game on Steam and I have to congradulate Rocksteady on how well they ported the game. The Unreal engine runs seamlessly on my PC.

[gigabot183]

only £3.75 on steam atm :)

[gamer3386]

onlive is all platform killer because you don't need to upgrade your system and you don't need to buy new console graphics are always high end and they are constantly upgrading servers with new carts processors you only need to pay internet connection and game that is in onlive store

[xxxvulturexxx]

@gamer3386 The problem is not REALLY owning it... if you want to sell it etc you can't ( the prices are NOT any better than buying a real disc last I checked ), if your having connection issues or down your fk'd at the time. If in few years ( because things change fast ) they go under... your fk'd... just too many negative angles without really that many positives.

[EdgeStorm3]

@gamer3386 does it have exclusives from xbox and ps3?.......

[gamer3386]

@EdgeStorm3 more and more better games are coming like red dead - halo - la noire and it will become so powerful that there would be no exclusive games only exclusives will come from companies that are owned from sony but that will go down fast

[robberblood]

I'm suprised you never mentioned Harley Quinn in your review. She was one of my favourite aspects of the game (for obvious reasons.)

[DarthStarscream1138]

0:25 "....Except for that one time when he had nipples on the batsuit..."

That's only time? How about when he had a....when had a....a...A BAT CREDIT CAAAAAARD! Rape my childhood will you bastards?! You're all gonna DIEEEE!!!

[KFXG]

There was a deal at EB Games and I got this and TDU2 for $20 brand new. And Medal of Honor for $10 brand new.

[rock4574571234]

.... this reminds me alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllloooooooooot of another game shatter diminchions its the same thing

[mohammedrun]

@rock4574571234 NOOOOOO BRO! I own Batman Arkham Asylum and spiderman shattered dimensions and thier to completely different games. Onyl when your Spiderman noir, then its like batman.

[rock4574571234]

@mohammedrun ya the ending of noir and batman are exaxtly the same basicly

[AntDog1984]

This is the game that made me get onlive after playing the demo. It plays and looks great on the service

[ilovemaryam08]

i like it. i watch my mom play this all the time on onlive.

[AppleJacK3r]

@ilovemaryam08 dude your mom is awesome!

[MrBobman15]

IM BATMAN AND I DRINK BUDLIGHT!

[paco111ification]

Wheres Lord Karnage

[ResurrectedTemplar]

Picked my PC copy for less than 8 bucks. Even better than that time when I bought BioShock for less than 2.

[lindasue92]

Ive been waiting soooooo long for you to do this! YOU ARE AWESOME!

[yougotkained]

IT'S COOL. IT'S NOT COOL.

[TheGorgorothSpire]

@yougotkained haha, I don't remember that in the game

[UrbanZ0mbie]

Is mark now a Onlive supporter?

I am cause of him but I hear him saying Onlive alot....

[thedeadkillerhobo1]

i counted about 5 colors...

[MrDabuckmaster]

IM BATMAN.

[filopride619]

@MrDabuckmaster NO IM BATMAN

[sdfdogjedi100]

cant wait for batman arkam city

[diako981]

im the 35 001 viewer! good game by the way!

[wolvengrl]

Wow, don't remember Batman ever being THIS dark, damn! Whatever happened to the riddler btw? I mean, I know what happened to him, but why don't we see him as much in the new crappy Batman stuff? I liked him....and twoface...and catwoman. Whatevs, Marvel still trumps DC, even if they have Batman.

[MarauderViking]

@wolvengrl except for the 2 new movies than ya this is the darkest.

[officerbawden17]

@wolvengrl Read Frank Millers version of Batman very dark and violent.

[xTHExFALLx]

That does it, I'm getting a cape.

[Iteachu2beninja]

Hardly Original?

Like what else is there?

[TOXICHAZE99]

@Iteachu2beninja to be fair it is similar to zelds

[MABfan11]

if alex mercer from prototype was in this game, everyone would be fucked

[AwesomePeow]

Should I buy this game? Why/why not? Thanks for reply!

[zilvertron]

@AwesomePeow

If you ever liked Batman at all in any kind youre gonna love this game, hell its even addicting to beat up the thugs after a while. The reason you shouldnt buy it is because its only about 12-14 hours of gameplay and no online possibilities more than downloading different maps and your scores

[AwesomePeow]

@zilvertron Oh okay! God of War was like 8-10 hours for me, so the lenght isn't that big of a deal :) I kind of like Batman, I mean, the movies are pretty cool and he's badass, but I've never read the comics ;> I guess I'll pick this one up!

[zilvertron]

@AwesomePeow Then you are gonna love this game. I havent read any batman comic at all, but its still my best game i got from this century. Too bad his walking is stiffer than stiff but the story is great and easy to catch on to

[AwesomePeow]

@zilvertron Oh okay! Awesome :) The best game I got is Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 ;> I heard that it's a little bit stiff, but I think that I can deal with that.

[moonymanj5]

@AwesomePeow you should by the game. its been said that this is the best superhero game of all time, it's suspensful, has a good plot and great graphics, also there are plenty of challenges to do after you beat the game, you can even free roam the island. In my opinion, best game ever

[KennyRobinson74]

hay mark, whats ur screen name on onlive?

[HerrGubba]

bat bat bat bat bat cat bat fat

[Custom09]

Hey thumbs up! *whispers: "get out of here" lol

[OmarAttacks]

The game is great except for the button mashing while fighting goons it becomes a bit repetitive. Best batman game out there.

[aloyziskee]

Since when did onLive use Xbox buttons?

[HwWGhostManOnThird]

@aloyziskee gearmedia.ign.com/gear/image/a­rticle/113/1135353/onlive-micr­oconsole-20101117044138924-000­.jpg



[TheRealFufuchs]

You will never play alone anymore

[Tomio2664]

There's a part where ur just walking and then it restarts but with scarecrow instead of batman that scared the shit out of me

[nintendowiids12]

@ThaGamingBeast It's a great concept, but I don't think it's the future.

[bparrish25]

....and bat bat

[imascatmanworld]

the final fight was dissapointing

[pirosoffaireyes]

@ConsoleApostate true that! Plus it needs more time. The games seem to lag and graphics aren't even as good as consoles./.. :P

[1977Melville]

The voice casting for Justice League Heroes was awful. The game was blah too. Glad to see this game got Kevin Conroy to voice Batman.

[Stormfail]

@ConsoleApostate Steam has been plenty successful with digital downloads.

It's a matter of opinion, but pc disks involve shitty drm most of the time.

If you play on console then it's perfect for you.

Nonetheless, it isn't a bad idea just because you don't like it.

[h20DDs]

Dr.Young = Magma from X-Men Legends.

[jippo135]

Finally

[JamesMorrow07]

Okay, I might get thumbed down for this, but here it goes...

In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, Chuck Norris would win.

[Gibix]

@JamesMorrow07 The Chuck Norris meme died years ago...

[thatisjustcreepy]

Sweet 15 min ad! Lucky you can skip it...

[ArsonistInUrFirewall]

Dude, if you like storytelling, and writing, ten you should review poral2, the writing and voice acting, was really good. Great review btw.

[TeddXplosion]

I just played throught this for my 4th time trying to speed run it, and I played through the story mode in about 3 hours!

[mooseninjawarrior]

4:02 Mark - "This is the Game of the Year Edition" Batman - "That doesn't make any sense"

I see what you did there.

[HassanLuv78]

Why don't they make a Superman game like this???? That would be cool

[IronBridgeSoldier]

No more onlive please, just review the actual game, onlive is such a stupid thing, and is going to ruin the gaming industry, just think about it

[SzFeri82]

@IronBridgeSoldier No it won't as it prevents pirating.

[anythingfortrance]

why would you want to buy games that you wont even own?

[IMAK3N0V1DS]

The Mark hath spoken.

[ps3specter]

Very Psycho Mantis at 5:56

[nighttron]

the ps3 version of this game allows you to play as the joker when playing challenge modes I picked up the goty edition for 20 bucks and i'm loving it

[Mariofreakman]

I wish my internet was fast enough to stream games of onlive.

[trip4201]

1:58 is he in need of a cigarette? lol tobacco tracking? what the hell lol i thought batman was supposta be a good role model lol

[spooky57571]

Why are there several of homophobic 12 yr olds arguing about porn in the comments?

[digioverlord]

nighty nite joker :)

[toolslave]

I hope future consoles will have the spectator feature like OnLive.

[SIXroundREVOLVER]

Mark, show us the hot fairies

THE HOT FAIRIES !!!!

[endauthority]

@SIXroundREVOLVER all your base are belong to us

[bluesgurugod]

But what about Bat Boy... and Bat Girl... and Bat Dog and Bat Cat??

[kevman994]

@bluesgurugod or bat bat :o



[SumPicklePie]

@bluesgurugod

You forgot Bat Bat. :I

[HerrGubba]

@bluesgurugod

and bat bat?

[Willson307]

@bluesgurugod ... and BatBat?

[KENNYPWNAGE]

@bluesgurugod BatMite

[L0st]

@bluesgurugod DONT FORGET BAT FISH :D

[christopherhovgaard]

@bluesgurugod .....Bat Bat?

[mushy2626]

@bluesgurugod don't forget bat turtle, bat tranny, and bat bat

[MarauderViking]

@bluesgurugod and Batmite.....

[spideralexandre2099]

Excited for Batman: Arkham city?

[ashugtiwari]

im sure u r very rich Mark since u own every gaming device and respective games, or is this gaming review your profession? but anyways u r very respectful gamer, u really have respect for every games, platforms and gamers...! Thats nice of u...!

[zorkor]

Fake and Gay!!

[coolazz18]

I wanna go to the Magic Cloud where hot fairies live and play video games

[elmalhermano]

gameplay not original? in what way? because the freeflow combat system hasn´t been done before (most games resort to quick time events) and you have a bunch of tools that help you in the stealth sections (on any other game you use GUNZZZ XD) the game takes bits from other games but they are blent so well, the gameplay stands on its own

[DanielAvelan]

I've kept watching 10 seconds over and over again

[TheDudeMick117]

Wtf is Onlive?

[JimmyCougar]

@TheDudeMick117 onlive[dot]com

CGR has done a review of it a month ago.

Basically, a server sends you pictures of a game over the internet and you respond like it was a console game. Upside, play anywhere without hardware requirements. Downside, needs very fast internet and the graphics are muted\downgraded.

[TheDudeMick117]

@JimmyCougar Ow ok, i'll watch the review

Thanks

[vishifishi01]

he doesent even mention the voice acting, tutut

[89825]

Hooray for Mark!

[sevenalay]

IT'S NOT COOL.

[gouki4563]

your right its not cool

[Noddles404]

You should get Steam! But I do like the thumbs up idea on OnLive.

[Triaxal]

How could you seriously dislike these videos? IGN is understandable, Raywilliamjohsnon is understanble, but what the fuck? Mark doesn't go bashing gays, or religious people. He makes straight up funny reviews on games, and the reviews are GOOD. The ignorance of people....

[lamborgboy]

he should drive a lamborghini countach with rocket launchers and machine guns bat man not mark that is

[HinchyFilms]

this is by far the best Bat man game. until Arkham city that is....... maybe, hmmmm?

[TheNoobPwner4567]

really can't wait for arkham city

[v1o]

If this is OnLive why is the HUD displaying Xbox360 button icons?

[MrYevrah]

@v1o when you plug in an xbox controller into a pc version some games support it with hud changes etc

[joaovictor1994]

@v1o because in theory it's based on the PC version. And PC = Microsoft, who also made the 360.

[xan1242]

@joaovictor1994 PC isn't Microsoft!They just made the operating system and DirectX API.You got it all wrong...I don't need Windows to run Windows games,I can do it in Linux with Wine.

[joaovictor1994]

@xan1242 No shit Sherlock. I didn't say they made the hardware, I'm saying that Batman Arkham Asylum was made to be played on PS3, PC (Windows) and xbox 360, and the Onlive version of it is based on the Windows version, which is supposed to be played on a PC. You can play it on Linux with Wine, and you can play it on a Mac with CrossOver, but it was made to be played on a PC running Windows. Got it?

[jakesthesex]

@v1o a xbox 360 pc controller just guessing but im sure thats all it will be

[jams0123]

@v1o Because the onlive controller has the same layout, they didn't feel the need to change the color of them.

[LegitNerdGuy]

@v1o You can use a 360 controller

[duderme]

@v1o Wow, I don't know if you know this by now, but since this is basically a PC game, it allows the use of an Xbox 360 controller and it translates the OnLive controller as that. Most new PC games have that. NFS: Hot Pursuit, Halo 2, etc.

[sh0]

@v1o Because lots of games that are made for console as well use the 360 buttons on the HUD, or in the menus. Kane and Lynch is the same way, even when you use a keyboard

[TommyKirbyFTW]

@v1o because the onlive controller uses the same buttons as the xbox controller

[pat95]

@v1o there not



[appleman1324]

@v1o lol, if you look at the controller and the console, you will notice the same buttons x,y,a,b

[KingNikan13]

@v1o He's using an XBOX360 controller

[Goth47]

@v1o you dont understand how OnLive works do you?

[SzFeri82]

@v1o Because you can use your xbox360 gamepad on PC with Onlive. (and many other PC releases)
