If you're in any way shape or form a half-decent Batman fan and you don't see who the Arkham Knight is eventually going to be because of lines like that constantly, you're an idiot.

It's amazing how easy it is to figure out. I got it the first time when you first meet the Arkham Knight. I didn't even follow this game whatsoever.

The game is still fun even knowing that twist. Good game. Better than City imo.

I'll edit it out (you should too since you quoted) I just thought everybody had heard that by now. there have been so many other interesting plot points that haven't been spoiled, I'm really enjoying myself

There's one part where Batman goes "Thanks, Dick." in the angriest way, and I had to stop and laugh about it because I'm five.

Been playing for a while and the game is really fun. Combat feels so much faster after marathoning through Origins. Curious if you get another 'devil trigger' combat ability like the Electric/Thermal Gloves from Origins.

The worst part about this lovely port is that there's essentially no way it can ever really be "fixed" unless they recode the entire game from scratch and there's no way in hell they'll do that :(

Now that I have it and I'm in the middle, just a couple things.

1. The Batmobile is not fun enough considering how often you are forced to use it.
2. The Dual segments are actually ridiculously cool.

Massive spoilers here.


3. Oh my loving god, really? Joker? I can't even cut the fucker off. He just shows up to babble every 5 seconds. Barbara dies and I can't even get emotional about it because I have Joker giggling WHILE IT'S HAPPENING! I know they want to force this guy in every game, but I had hoped enough would be enough. One scene. Not the entire game. Really ruining it.

Love it so far though. The game is beautiful.

Right click on the game in steam and use the "Set launch options" button. Add "-windowed" the game will start in a tiny little dumb window. When you get ingame use the options to set it to borderless window mode. Game works flawlessly for me this way.

Also there is an update queued in Steam for me right now, any word what this does. My game actually works and I am afraid of change.

This is from the last page but thank you boy wonder, I can now finally play this game about a man who dresses up as a bat.

So far I'm not a huge fan of the Batmobile but I find the tank battles oddly enjoyable; they feel like you've suddenly been dropped into a 90's arcade minigame, and in a good way.

Major spoiler question.

So after Barbara is captured near the beginning is that really the last you see off her as an ear support character? That's a kind of brief role for her before she gets fridged.

Edited for word salad.

I changed my mind. The Batmobile isn't just "not really as fun as it should be" it's rear end. That they expect you to pull off timed sections when the drat thing controls so poorly is unreasonable. I've been playing for hours and STILL can't turn with any accuracy whatsoever. Drifting doesn't help.

I think you're probably just uncommonly bad at it. I've been playing the game for a few days now, and it's pretty straightforward. The batmobile does exhibit some oversteer, but the car seems to correct for that almost entirely on it's own via the jet booster thing on the back.

Drifting does help, but there's some weird oversteer. You need to hold the drift button down rather than just treating it like a handbrake and pressing it once.

I'll accept that I'm prolly bad, but there's no way I'm uncommonly so. Most reviews are saying the Batmobile is the weakest part. It's just this one Riddler race right outside the GCPD that's pissing me off. Because every time I fail I have to walk all the way back to the little wench thing to try again. The timing seems so unforgiving.

Never trust a Gameworks game, it always runs like poo poo even on Nvidia cards. It's probably some dumb attempt to get people to buy a new card in hopes it will fix the performance problems, but it will run like poo poo no matter what. Source: Every Gameworks game.
