Finished the game on PC last night. I was one of the lucky ones that it ran moderately OK for, with some annoying lag that made some of the 'race around town' segments (firefly, APCs) a little challenging. 69 hours on record, but I didn't do some of the AR challenges.

Is the zur-en-arrh skin out for the PC if I don't want to mod poo poo? I tried to follow whatever directions were on the WB forums, but I'm either retarded or they didn't work. I already have the animu skin.
Honestly, "modding" in this case involves literally overwriting one text file. It's absolutely painless. There were a bunch of people having issues getting it through the forum login; just save yourself the trouble.

Did you have enhanced smoke or whatever it's called on? That's the setting that lags the Batmobile most.

The 1960's Batgirl, Yvonne Craig, passed away as a result of cancer complications on Monday.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/actress-yvonne-craig-best-known-for-her-role-as-batgirl-dies-at-78/

quote:

In a statement on Craig's website, her family touted her successes, saying, "Yvonne excelled in ballet, a film career, a business life, as well as in philanthropic and charity work over the years. She had been able to do this with joy and much laughter and she wouldn't have changed a thing. Well, maybe one thing and that would have been not to get cancer buy Arkham Knight on PC."

Firefly does eventually run out of afterburner fuel if you just keep him in eyeshot long enough for anyone having trouble with that section.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

An endless/extended/marathon Firefly scenario, or one using additional fire wrinkles, could be quite interesting, now that I think of it.

I guess if you haven't upgraded the Batmobile it's tough? Or if you are bad at tank combat. In some ways it's easier than other fights because at least they're not coming from all directions.

I thought it was pretty easy as you have a whole bunch more room to maneuver around, too, IIR. If I can beat it the first try, anybody can.

ANYWAY, PC patch update.
It probably won't be out this month, but it looks like it's going to address the big problems.

Use the EMP if you get overwhelmed by missiles, or use the missile swarm to take them out in midair or destroy the launchers before they can fire. The hack tool is also very handy because not only do you have tanks fighting on your side, but the hostile drones will divide up between attacking you and them, meaning there is a 50-66% lower chance of being targeted while they are around.

But the main thing in that mission is to listen out for the supporting character's instructions, they'll lay out targets for you that will wipe out large chunks of the attacking force at once and make things a hell of a lot easier.

I always try and target the missile launchers for a hack. They do some good damage to the enemy tanks before they're taken out.

In the promo vid for the 1989 Batmobile I'm pretty sure I saw it firing the machine guns. I haven't been able to make it do this on PS4. Anyone got any idea if this is actually in the release, and how to do it?

I also got a prompt for "L3 - Deploy Countermeasures" when I was away from it and some goons were swarming it, but I haven't been able to recreate it. What does it do?

It's almost the same press release from July, too. "Oh we're putting the patch into testing..." Oh word?

Arkham Knight was good but no way would I have paid money for the PC version if I hadn't gotten it free with my 970. I'm interested to see if Mad Max will also be a broken port on PC when it launches.

I got my card back from repair and have been playing with the 750 ti I was using as a temp GPU as a physx card. Smooths gameplay out more than I would've thought, and keeps my 780 at around 92% utilization instead of 99, which is interesting.

I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.
I was ambivalent about the batmobile until the drill tank thing "fight". gently caress that part. It killed any motivation I had to try a NG+ because I would have to do it again. I actually cheered a little bit when the batmobile gets smashed at the end of it because I knew I wouldn't have to do another forced car level for a while.

On the other hand the boss fights regarding the batmobile were poorly done at best and if you think otherwise you are, in fact, dumb. Driving and such was real fun though.

It'll take place at the GCPD, supposedly. I really need more than five or six rooms strung together to get interested.

They have the entire Batman universe to play with - and have set up a fantastic "Bruce Wayne can't be batman" status quo.

And yet I'm sure any story content will be as simple as "here be enemy. Punch enemy. End."
