Can You Beat EVERY Arkham Game Without Takedowns?

Ойындар

After attempting this challenge for every Batman Arkham game, I've put together a compilation of all my runs to answer the question, can you beat the entire Batman Arkham Series without takedowns?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takedowns are crucial in all aspects of gameplay in the Batman Arkham Series. The ability to take out a lot of enemies quickly with nothing but a push of a button is something I've always underestimated until this challenge. Without these attacks in my arsenal, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight are sure to be extremely difficult, if not impossible...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After seeing other youtubers try these gaming challenges like can you beat Batman Arkham without taking damage, without gliding, without grappling, and without punching and countering, I decided to give these Arkham challenges a go myself. I attempted this no takedowns challenge with the entire Batman Arkham series, and with this compilation we can finally find out if you can beat the Batman Arkham series without using takedowns.

    When i was a kid, and first played these games i actually never figured out about takedowns, the combo takedowns, or the ground takedowns, so i literally just wailed on enemies and patiently waited for them to get back up before taking them out. After discovering how braindead i was, the combat has never seemed better.

    Something I accidentally found during the Mr. Freeze fight was that you can actually still drop attack from a frozen rail as long as you time it perfectly and he's in the exact right position, coming in or out from a door. It won't give you the prompt, you'll just fall on top of him and it'll count. So if you're good at manipulating his path, that was another option.

    You're a genius for coming up with that Mr Freeze strat. You *can* pull enemies off ledges with the Batclaw in Arkham Knight, but only if there's no barrier in the way. I did it in The Long Halloween, Part 2. You can get a *fourth* zap with the drone by disrupting the controller tablet, which is enough to almost completely clear some maps in one fell swoop

    58:40 for the minigunner you can use the smoke and then strike him, since there isn't ANY nightvision thugs in Knight, smoke are extremely op and you can gain so much more time like, also yes the smoke duration IS long enough to actually take out the minigunner by striking.

    Definitely hilarious that that _one_ random Arkham City thug is so takedown-necessary that Batman him-fucking-self needs to learn how to phase through solid matter in order to kick his ass without a takedown lol. Also, it's definitely stupid how the disruptor doesn't work in that room-the only reason I can think of for the game to do something like that is because it's in a tutorial section and it needs you to actually learn what's being taught, but the only way to get the disruptor that early is if you've already completed the entire game before!!

    *HUGE* tip, please up the gain on your audio if you're not comfortable speaking too loudly. And make sure you go over your script enough times so you can say at least most of it without needing to actually read it. The jokes were clever but they lose impact when you can tell they're written out. A good way to avoid doing this would be to list out everything you need to mention, but not write out exactly what you need to say. If you're not comfortable speaking off the top of your head, just practice practice practice until it doesnt sound robotic. At some point you wont need to do it anymore and that'll let you focus more on your writing.

    Sadly not available to buy past ps3, but with a ps plus premium membership you can play it. Game is still buggy asf, but was still able to beat it during the free trial and cancel my membership after. Hope that's a little helpful!
