  As a nerd, I was so happy that they included the comic book story about Aaron Cash losing his hand on guard duty from comics into the game. The game is so full of these little nudges that even some comic readers had forgotten and made us burst out of nostalgia.

  This game is a perfect example of sometimes, all you need is to perfect a premise to make a great game. <br>It&apos;s not the most complex story, it&apos;s not the deepest combat system, it&apos;s not the best investigation or stealth game, but every aspect is perfectly executed for Batman, with a story that knows exactly what it is, a Batman story, and it&apos;s glorious. I replayed the entire series last year and this video makes me want to do it again!

  I remember back on the 360 version of this, you could play your own music through the Xbox music player while playing the game. I played through the combat challenges for an unhealthy amount of hours with the Mortal Kombat theme in the background. Good stuff as always, Strat. Thank you for the consistently excellent work!

  Asylum is such a great game, it&apos;s a shame the design process that produced this game likely will never be used again in the current AAA climate. I wonder if we&apos;ll get a good indie or AA successor with a unique IP one of these days.

  Someone else mentioned this but even if the games dont sell well, they likely make their money before a single copy sells through ESG payouts from Blackrock or governments.

  That scarecrow scene is such an incredible, quintessential batman moment that I havent played this game in years and still had it memorized word for word.

  There was this moment in mgsv where i resorted to picking off enemies one by one with rifles and drainage grates, and the subtitles showed someone panickng, freaking out, begging and etc. I THOUGHT it was the enemy soldiers and i thought it was the coolest shit that they realized how hopeless the situation was and were losing their shit in the pauses between kills.<br>Turns out it was just a hostage npc giving dialogue to help you find him.

  I remember when this game was coming out, the developers were saying that it explicate took place within the continuity of the comic books. That this was the same Batman and world as what was in the mainline DC canon. It wasn&apos;t until Arkham City that they walked that back and started saying this was an an alternate universe so that they&apos;d have the creative freedom to do whatever they wanted with the story.
