I'll choose the truth I like.
Finally beat it. Looked up info and found people were doing it in first person and that made it possible. No way I'm doing the AR for those. They don't count towards the 100% for the ending right?

Based on this:


I'd say you'd be fine. I have a 2500k and a 2GB GTX 680, and after today's update the game runs without without any apparent issues. Before today, it was terrible in every way.

Oh cool, maybe it'll be on a decent sale by the time I finish up Fallout :v:

I assume those free games will be giftable if you already own copies (which of course I do), if not that would be a pretty dick move.

Luckily the game ran fine for me so I was already able to beat it, but it's nice to finally get the DLC content too.

It's nice to finally get the DLC, it's a shame so much of it is stuff I don't give a crap about like skins and Batmobile junk, but at least there's more replay value now without having to resort to swapping save files around. Now all that's left to hope for is that at least one of the upcoming story DLCs actually last longer than 10 minutes.

Thankfully no, all the AR stuff just get you extra upgrade points and leaderboard e-cred.

From briefly checking the Steam forums, everyone will get the old games regardless of whether they bought Arkham Knight from Steam, but they don't actually go out until december.

How is this a surprise? Their "10/28 Patch Notes" mention jack poo poo about performance improvements and only mention how all DLC is now available on the PC platform.

E: Looks like they caved and removed the "Pre-release Review" tags from all pre-10/28 reviews.

Really?

I mean, I must be lucky in that I have a graphics card that was unaffected by the Windows 7 problem cited, but that's still an insane response. They're basically saying, "yup, its broken, buy better hardware".

Eh, it runs fines for me in Win 10 with 8 gigs, but I'm one of the lucky people who never really had any problems, plus I have a 980 Ti and no HDD (just SSDs), so my experience may not be typical.

If you couldn't run every game at smooth 60 FPS with that video card I would be extremely worried.

The costume she's got in the main game doesn't look great but the one she's got in the Batgirl DLC makes her look like she's literally made of plastic. It's really bad.

I am one of the lucky ones for whom the PC version has always run, but I feel like the graphics quality actually declined with the most recent patch. Am I imagining things? Thanks patch for randomly turning all graphics options to low!

Also, some of the DLC skins are really loving ugly. I'm looking at you, 1960s catwoman with the atrocious jutting chin and lips.

All I've seen are screenshots but yikes. Then again I need to see it in motion.

But then again manchildren who take so much pride in growing up with TAS that saying anything against it is sacrilege.

They still haven't fixed a bug that keeps me from finishing the game. All requirements for Knightfall complete. I activate it and bruce and alfred say their lines. No waypoint appears. According to the internet it should be on top of GCPD but nothing at all happens up there. What a broken POS.

I had that. You need to complete more side quests. It's a lie that Knightfall is ready.

Unless you've done everything, in which case I dunno. I did everything apart from Riddler.

Mini gun dudes you don't stun first, you just immediately mash attack on. Once you start doing that you'll see why you had to save him for last.

You don't have to stun minigun guys, just start hitting him. He'll do a few attacks during the beatdown that you'll have to counter.

If I remember right, you can also take him out instantly with an environmental takedown.

If you're lucky. Otherwise that's why you leave them for last or isolate them, because it's like a good 10-15 seconds of fighting one guy.

NVIDIA GeForce Experience suggested new game settings for me after the patch - everything set on low :laugh:

I still count myself lucky the game ran perfectly fine for me on release, I had a ton of fun playing the game and the only really sour note was how obviously forced the Batmobile sections were (especially early game). But this PC release has been an utter disaster, I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if I was one of the many people who the game was basically unplayable for... and it's STILL not fixed.

Yeah, it's loving ridiculous how broken this game is. I'm able to get a steady 30 fps with everything including the Nvidia stuff maxed, but I have to set the in-game FPS to 60 and then use the Nivida Control Panel to do half-refresh rate V-sync. Using the in-game 30 fps limit gets me pretty nasty stuttering.

Also despite taking like a month to only work on implementing DLC none of the DLC achievements work aside from the Batgirl ones.

I think the problem I meant is that the 1960s Catwoman skin looks... off. It looks like the actress its based on, but her face literally never moves. The regular skin is at least someone emotive. It is unsettling that the 1960s skin looks like she's somehow paralyzed.

You don't beat him down. You can actually just punch him once so long as you do all the counters. The last counter knocks him out. It's a bit of a puzzle later on when you fight more than one at a time- gotta separate them, set up traps or environment attacks.

Yeah, I finally figured that out. I figured since I can dodge his attacks pretty easily, why bother countering all those times. Then I finally gave countering a shot just because and :doh: .
