Jerusalem posted:Was in the middle of a big group of thugs and beating the poo poo out of them, went to use the Batclaw on a guy just as a car come skidding by on the street. The batclaw hit that instead, Batman leaped up onto the roof of the car and did something (anchored the line to a wall or something, it all happened so fast I wasn't sure what happened) which caused the car to flip over and crash as he backflipped of it. I then turned him around and sauntered him back to where the surviving thugs were waiting, presumably having just witnessed that and deciding there was no point in running because it's now quite clear NOTHING is going to stop Batman Did you yell "I'm Batman" at any point during this?

It's easily the worst-written one in the series, but the best part is also one of the worst parts - which is Hamill basically being your "Let's Play" partner, but at the same time, I remember them making a big deal about how now that ~Joker Is Dead~ that they could have more freedom to do other poo poo. But evidently that didn't pan out!

I want to say it was GTA 5 because the online portion wasn't working but I can't find any articles about it. Also, everybody having trouble with the Riddler races, your car sticks to surfaces as long as you are moving. Don't worry about going fast enough to stick to walls.

I've slid down the wall numerous time on the final race section. You definitely have to be going fast enough to turn on the U on the last race.

I bet Warner Brothers didn't care about the PC problems and just said, "Who care's? Not like they can get a refund, gently caress them." Then Valve announces refunds for games a few weeks ahead of the release, and there's nothing WB can do about it because they already sent out Steam keys to all the retailers.

I'm a few hours into the game at this point and it feels like 50% of the combat is tank warfare. It's not even good; something that could be seen on a F2P mobile game. It's a shame because Batman's actual combat is great and improved. There's more variety almost right away. And the Riddler's batmobile time trials are hilariously lame. Rocksteady is self aware too, Nigma said something to Batman about not questioning the intellectual gains of racing.  I'm disappointed in the villains as well. I'm assuming it's just because I'm early but the main mission is heavy on Overall, Gotham is a great open world but t's tradition that I fall through the bottom of the city and have to restart my game within the first half hour.

I'm not a PC gamer, but I definitely feel everybody's pain; there's nothing about the PC release that doesn't seem bungled. But didn't WB have this same problem with the launch of Mortal Kombat X? I distinctly remember reading that a ton of people couldn't get it working properly, had issues with massive stuttering, etc.

Batman turned out pretty well actually

So is there a trick to the APC chases or something? I'm doing okay and suddenly they rocket to a 300m or more lead no matter how much liberally I use the Afterburner and have to let the mission fail. What the gently caress's going on here? (Also, if anyone has a good method to that first stretch of the third lap of the 9th Riddler Challenge, that'd be a real life saver.)

Read that whole thread you linked. They've said that they'll refund Arkham if it's still not working after a patch. Of course WB will never patch that game and will just pull the PC port entirely lol.

Directly contradicts the announcement Playfire/GMG made about refunds being offered post-performance patch for anyone who wants them. This lackey is unaware of the circumstances surrounding this game

the batmobile is the best videogame vehicle ever. it feels just like a 10 ton sportscar tank with 4-wheel turning should. wouldn't change a thing about the handling.

Tank mode scuttle sideways, time afterburner through second gate. My memory is hazier on the next part but I think I used the dodge to duck around some of those spinning blades and maintain speed.

I think this game has pretty hard to ignore failtarded aspects such as the pretty boring overworld compared to Asylum and the generally kind of grotesque, shiny Unreal engine Schumacherness of the art direction, but the Batmobile is really awesome and I'm glad that they devoted millions of dollars in the budget to making me feel badass,

DMC3 was so bad (outsourced to Ubisoft who then outsourced it to some cheapo japanese port studio) it made Capcom apologize and promise to make sure all future releases would shine on PC, and we got DMC4 with that PC exclusive shitload of enemy modes. This was a loving nvidia "we are bundling this with all our loving top tier video cards and making god drat sure we beat amd with this game" gameworks game, so the fact that it turned out like this is even more wacky.

It's what they get for a 6 week port. Dumbasses. But I'm not even suffering from a bad memory leak. One gig bloat after 2 hours isn't terrible at all. Once again I could run all the other games on max settings, so graphically it really does look terrible, but it's still fun.

Hardcore bat fans, how do you pronounce Falcone? Whenever I read it in the comics I always had 'falconi' in my head, because Italian names, and Oracle just pronounced it that way too. Every other bat media hasn't done it like that though.

I genuinely feel bad for the PC owners. I used to be a big PC gamer but I became a couch potato and bought an Xbox. I thought the gripe in this thread was probably just a little high until I saw the screenshots you guys posted. Even the xbone version looks legitimately better on all counts than those shots. This series hands down has some of the funnest fist fighting and gadgetry in any game (I always thought assassins creed really missed the boat after Arkham). They really tarnished a thing here with this muck up.
