The Batmobile is real, real bad but the thing that annoys me most is this enormous battletank of a car bouncing off of walls like it's made of rubber. It freaks out so heavily at the slightest anything, it's pretty ridiculous.

There seems to be a lack of challenge maps compared to the previous games, seems like you can only play as Batman in the challenge maps too.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
The only issue I've had with the batmobile is that it has poo poo traction and because of that and the tight chase sequences, sometimes it's hard to follow a badguy down a sharp turn you don't know he's going to make. The level of hyperbole in here is nuts.

Edit: hell, "bouncing off walls"? The problem with mine is that i go through them.

I always just keep swapping between the "Normal" mode and Combat mode whenever I'm having to steer the batmobile around and I never really have that much trouble with it, heck it's like the first car I've used in a open world video game that can literally turn on a dime and then rocket away in the other direction. :shrug:

I used to do that but found that it made the chase sequences just as difficult cos it slowed you down too much.

You can also still use the dodge move to jump left and right a short distance in the normal mode too which I also find is handy in correcting any gently caress ups involving oversteer.

But then again I'm the sort of person who never has any trouble platforming in first person shooters, so maybe I'm just decent with handling lovely controls.

In any area without destructible terrain like the Riddler challenge tracks, the batmobile will go bonkers if you hit some of the walls at the wrong angle, or else stop dead and get caught on a little facet of it.

This is essentially what I've got. I have all the settings on low, except AA is on, vsync is on, and the resolution is 1080p. The game runs fine. There is an occasional stutter that apparently everyone is experiencing, and a lot of texture streaming issues that again everyone seems to have, but it's totally playable.

I'm noticing some sound issues now too. Like, in the airship, people were supposed to be talking, and I could see the subtitles, but there were no voices. Also when Babs was an hero there was no music until after everyone was done talking. It sounded like good bgm for that scene, and I feel like it was sort of ruined without it. :(

There's always next playthrough. I still need to finish my first though.

Dont get me wrong, it's not that bad, it just feels a little floaty for the type of car it allegedly is. Generally, it handles just fine and it's surprising how quickly you can get around with it.

Oh yeah, how the gently caress do you play the DLC stuff?

Man, so they really did optimize the recommended spec for the game for 30fps, without ambient occlusion. How the gently caress can you screw Unreal 3 up that badly.

I'm not that far in so there might be some I haven't found yet but this seems to be the case. Looks like they took out my favorite part of the Arkham franchise and either forgot about it or they're going to package it as DLC in the season pass.

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 :(

Having the season pass does not give you the Harley Quinn pack until some point in the future. To get it now, you need a code specifically for it.

I bought from cdkeys.com and didn't get my code for the Harley Quinn pack until this morning.

Given there are videos of the game before it was released, running at 60 frames per second with Nvidia tech that not only worked flawlessly, but isn't actually in the finished game and there were no hitches in the framerate, I'm honestly wondering if some idiot accidentally pushed through an alpha version of the game onto Steam by mistake.

my disappointment level is through the loving roof if true. why on earth would anyone do this, that's like the biggest step backward you can possibly do.

I guess it's loving DLC because one of the dlc season pass items says "Players can become Batman or his allies in a series of standalone challenge maps." gently caress you WB, holy loving poo poo.

for the record it seems like most of the graphics options do nothing to affect performance apart from shadow quality; on high the game's a juddery mess whereas on normal it's pretty playable. jsyk

The game's performance increased greatly for me when I turned the display to 720p like a freaking caveman. Not really an acceptable fix at all but it'll do for now seeming as I can't get a refund. There's still a significant memory leak though.

Arkham City without any DLC has 6 combat challenges, 6 predator challenges, extreme versions of all of those and the silly challenge campaign thing.

It's not quite the same, but I've unlocked a combat challenge where you fight with Nightwing.

I get the feeling that the non-Batman characters don't have the moveset for predator rooms in Arkham Knight.
