The texture issues in the PC version border on absurd from time to time. I was zipping around the city (grapple boost from the start rocks) and I landed in front of a couple billboards that were completely pixelated, like textures out of the original Half Life or something. It took nearly 10 seconds for the actual textures to load in while I was staring at them, enough time for me to call my wife in from the other room, say "look at this poo poo" and laugh about it. I'm installed to an SSD so I have no idea what could be causing it.

I really hope the PC fixes aren't months out, but I think I'm going to put it down til they are done. It seems like a great and fun game but I want to get the full experience when I play it.

Made the switch from PC to PS4. The visual diffrence is staggering.

Aparently AA on the PC version eleminates a lot of lighting effects too. So the entire city had color I hadn't seen prior to playing on PS4.

This is a really good batman videogame.

I just saw one before I put it up for the night and I spent way too long trying to decipher if it was upside down l33t speak or something internet warrior Riddler would use.

Also, killing AA is definitely a good idea as during gameplay it's not really noticeable that it's off and everything is so much more colorful. I still miss my gd ambient occlusion :argh:

Why are people so bad at driving lol. It's actually hard to lose your tail on Firefly.

I never had any issues following Firefly. Except when this happened...



The Batmobile would go forward, but I couldn't turn or use the afterburner. Then it started bugging me to flip it over even though it was on all four tires. I tried to get out and get back in, but I fell right through the ground. At least it didn't autosave with me down there. :downs:

Firefly was still way easier than Arkham Knights troop transport dudes, which still weren't that bad. If they gave me 100 more missions to chase after dudes in the Batmobile, I'd be happy.

The APCs are annoying because sometimes they just rocket ahead and no matter how well I drive or how much afterburner I use, I can't catch up.

You don't have to directly follow them. You can take shortcuts. A lot of the times APCs go into loops and you can just exploit that to catch them easier.

I did the first AR challenge with the APCs and I ended up ramming one into two more and destroying all three. The batmobile makes a better battering ram than a tank.

I think it would be nice for the game to provide the ability to just free roam play as all the characters. I mean this game is pretty much a big sand box for punching mooks in faces anyway.

The tweaks definitely made the textures stream more consistently on my machine, but still not perfect. Definitely more stuttering now too.

E: I skipped over the texture quality improvements, because I'm not swimming in untapped GPU potential.

E2: For anyone who didn't notice it was an option (like me) you should really turn on borderless window instead of full screen. Why is full screen even an option in the year 2015? Ridiculous.

10 minutes is generous. Red Hood was so fun to play as to be limited to more like 5 minutes.

Also, a record should be set straight. You can see the "true" ending without getting all the Riddler stuff. It just measures how many Most Wanted missions you've completed. I was prompted to do it before I'd taken down Riddler. So as long as you do everything else, you aren't obligated to do Riddler. Enough with the hate on Rocksteady for the misconception that they gated an ending behind Riddler.

That's still not the "full" ending, supposedly there is more to it but I'm trying to avoid spoiling myself on it. I activated knightfall protocol with everything but riddler done and I got the cutscene and credits, but it dropped me back into the map after and said to bring in riddler to activate the full knightfall protocol. I plan on clearing out the riddler stuff this weekend.

MASSIVE END GAME SPOILER HERE


Bruce flies the batwing to the mansion which is surrounded by press, he enters the mansion and it explodes. That's about it, it cut to credits after that. I'm assuming he was faking his death and the full cut scene expands on what happens after that.

It's like I'm playing NG+, but I don't really have any reason to. I just like this game so much and don't feel like I've gotten a fill yet. When does the monthly DLC start? Also, something that's been bugging me: One of the cops in GCPD is highlighted green like he's a Riddler informant. Is that a clever Easter egg to remind you there are dirty cops or can I do something with that?

Huh? I 100% everything besides the Riddler Trophies and didn't get any of that, just Bats saying to activate Nightfall protocol and then saying that he had to finish cleaning up Riddler's poo poo. I played on PS4.

I thought the game was great, I really enjoyed the Tank combat (thought it didn't really feel "Batman"... but whatever, I kinda want a full game of it now). I'll agree that the Batmobile handling was kinda rear end, I had to redo one Firefly mission three times because I kept losing him due to dumpsters. The combat mechanics gave me a bit of trouble compared to the previous games, for some reason I was basically unable to build the combo meter up at all through regular combat, which is strange (had no problem with M&K for AA and wireless 360 for AC). Could be that my DS4 is busted.

Also this is pretty much the only game where jump scares actually worked on me. The Joker, Batman appearing when you thought he was dead, Man-Bat, Joker posing as Man-Bat, and finally the Batman statue... all very well done, and a couple of those were legitimately terrifying. Also (Ending spoilers)I thought the "Kill Joker" prompt was brilliant. I had just spent 5 minutes mashing buttons like a maniac (I wanted to see what happened if I fought off the Joker mob for an extended period of time) so when a new prompt showed up I just mashed the button without even reading it... only to realize "Oh poo poo, I'm Batman, I just killed a dude". The game did a very good job of putting you in Batman's mindset, right down to being in denial that Arkham Knight is Jason Todd

Also ending: Was it possible to proceed through Joker's section without gunning down the Batenemies in the hallway? At the time I didn't even try because, y'know, Joker. Though I did spare the woman Riddler was holding hostage by headshotting him.

I waited there for like 5 minutes, and nothing really ever happened. There were a lot of parts in the game where the game gives you the illusion of choice.

Like the part where you throw Tim Drake in the cell. I kept putting myself back in the cell and Joker keeps letting you out and by the 3rd or 4th time, the game automatically does it for you.
