Wait is there a standalone PC benchmark app or is the benchmark part of the game?

There's definitely an in-game one. I can't recommend it.

It's broken anyway. It will show FPS over 30, but (if you don't muck with the .ini) the actual game will not go above that. It literally provides no useful information.

Yup, this happens to everybody who tries to validate.

I have a theory that this happens because of the Denuvo protection, which supposedly rewrites files on the fly to obfuscate stuff. So suddenly the files aren't what Steam expects them to be anymore, and considers them broken. I got the game refunded though so I can't test the theory.

Looks like a small fix went through that may have fixed the validation issue. (acc. to that NeoGAF thread). Don't take my word for it, though.

It also eats up an unacceptable amount of system resources based on what people are saying on other sites, as well as potentially being the source of memory leaks that some users are experiencing. They also didn't indicate anywhere that the game uses Denuvo, with lots saying they wouldn't have purchased it in the first place if they had known.

Yo ho?

So it very clearly sounds like the PC port of this game is an unacceptable mess. How is it on PS4? I skipped Origins and it's been long enough since City that I feel like I could go for some more Batman action.

It seems fine so far, no glaring issues besides the Batmobile being kind of weird to drive

Riddler building all those tunnels in 7 months, I wish Metro would hire him to finish the drat Purple Line.

Gordon's voice actor, Jonathan Banks, has zero vocal range but that's a boon to the character he normally plays on TV: the ultra competent and emotionally controlled expert. Too bad Rocksteady didn't write Gordon that way in this game, he's severely miscast. Actors ain't always better than professional voice actors.

I've only played through a couple of hours but it looks amazing and the level of detail is incredible. I don't like how it's cramming the Batmobile in and I hope that this is just early-game stuff where they're trying to make sure you're fully aware of it and what it can do - I far prefer brooding on rooftops, gliding through the air and listening to thug banter over scuttling about like a crab while trying to make sure blue lines don't become red lines.

That was actually the first thing I thought of when the decision to choose missions came up. Would've actually been sort of nice to see, but the game plays it super safe with just letting you go off and do whatever you feel like doing.

The Joker that died in Arkham City was a perfected clone by Clayface. He's currently still alive and has also deduced Batman's secret identity. There are multiple scarecrows running around infecting everyone left right and centre.

I made the fps change in the .ini file and it seems to be running at pretty close to 60. I don't have an fps counter but it's very smooth. Still it doesn't look as good as I expected. I wonder if the missing features/textures are the culprit.

Yeah, Michael Gough, David Kaye and Tom Kane did great work as Gordon in previous Arkham games, I really don't know why they decided they needed Banks of all people.

Yeah his voice felt WAY off for this. I think maybe they wanted him to sound angry and sullen instead of confident in Bats due to spoilers, but it didn't work out. He's a great actor but he does not fit the role at all.

Tons of little details in this game. The game calls back to a very minor action you can take in the first moments of the game an hour or two later.

If you don't shoot anyone as the cop the police watching him are amazed he held it together as well as he did, as opposed to if you shoot people they're horrified at what Scarecrow did to him

My experience with the Batmobile so far:
- Drive around the city zapping people "non-lethally" and crashing into things because the powerslide controls are weird
- Attempt to do the Batmobile-assist takedown in hand-to-hand combat and fail without understanding why it doesn't work
- Fail four times in a row to rocket off that ramp onto the roof in the very first Batmobile challenge
- Give up for the night because the game runs like rear end

Looks like it might be fun once I get a feel for the controls. It seemed about as fast a method of travel as flying as long as you don't crash into everything constantly.

You can see stuff like that right around the start of the game. I had beat up a random bunch of thugs for the hell of it and turned around and there was a dude standing on a car doing nothing. He had a gas mask on and when I threw a batarang at him he vanished.
