I'm one of the few people that the game worked fine on my PC when it came out. I played the poo poo out of it, finished the campaign and the new game +, got all the achievements available, then waited for the DLC and the big patch. The patch made it unplayable so I put in for a Steam refund which has already been accepted. 175 hours of playtime and I got all my money back. At least there's that.

I've heard a few people say the patch made it unplayable. Is it a slideshow, or what? Probably the one difference for me has been fixing the texture pop in, everything else is about the same.

It seemed to run worse than I remember as well. I played it to completion back at release and while it looked like poo poo (and anything higher than low was a slideshow) the framerate was fine. Reinstalling it after the patch it ran like absolute poo poo even with everything on low.

I also was one of the lucky ones for whom the game worked great on first release. I've 200%ed it now, having completed it all on the hardest difficulty. I haven't played any dlc because it sounds like crap and I don't care about cosmetic changes. 80 hours invested, and I've just requested a refund from Green Man Gaming. We'll see if it's approved.

Next wave of DLC is apparently arriving on the 24th of this month and contains all the things planned for November for those that still care. That has both the Robin and Catwoman Arkham Episodes so that might total a whole 30 minutes of new side story stuff this time, maybe! Well at least 20+ minutes possibly.

i5 / Geforce 970 here and I've played about 3-4 hours into the story without issue. I also have like 16GB of RAM so maybe that doesn't hurt. No frame-hitches, and everything is turned up as far as graphics. Playing at 1080 at 60fps for the most part.

No frame-hitches, and everything is turned up as far as graphics. Playing at 1080 at 60fps for the most part. I just rebought the game for cheap and yeah, even with the new patch, I have a similar rig (only 8GB of RAM though) and it still runs like warm butter when i turn off the magic fog effects. It's good that i can see the VRAM usage for each option now though because it turns out the smoke alone used 200MB of the stuff and was sending me 250MB over my VRAM limit, so it's no wonder it was what was causing the stuttering on my machine at 2560x1440. When i turn both that and the interactive debris off (with everything else on and at max) my VRAM usage drops just below the 4GB level and i get a solid 60fps on everything. edit: it does seem odd that the game would require cards with 5GB of VRAM to max out the settings though, especially as it was bundled with the 970. What cards come with 5GB VRAM anyway? Kin fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Nov 14, 2015 |

Andrast posted:It's almost like the port isn't very good Well, it's specifically the extra Nvidea poo poo that pushes it beyond the 4GB limit. Without that there'd be no VRAM issues on 4GB cards like the 970 series. Maybe Nvidea expected the other stuff like textures and models to be brought down to a much lower VRAM usage or something. If anything it would be interesting to find out just what exactly is hosed an unoptimised about the game.

Ok, double post because i'm a bit confused about a certain plot point on my second playthrough. So, at the very end it's revealed there was never any joker virus in batman and that it was all the fear gas (plus he cured himself in City anyway). With that being the case, how is Henry able to spot his 'Joker eyes' and why does Robin then insist on Bruce getting locked up even after the Jason Todd hallucination ends.

It was all the fear gas just making him think he was infected?

I can't check since i'm at work, but if so that makes no fuckin' sense at all because the core plot of AC is that the Joker's blood is toxic and he was planning to spread it, so people being infected but not cured, uh, makes no sense. You can't even go 'well, maybe Batman misunderstood the effect" because he had to go track down the Lazarus Pit to not die.

Kin posted:Are you sure because that makes no sense. Batman cured himself in City. Batman is exposed to the fear toxin at Ace Chemicals, and his fear of succumbing to the virus manifests. At the end, he does actually succumb, and the Joker's personality takes over. But then Scarecrow injects him with more fear toxin when he starts laughing. At that point, he's dosing the Joker personality with fear toxin. The Joker's greatest fear is being forgotten, he gets suppressed, and Batman's normal personality resurfaces. It's loving dumb level comic book writing.

l33t's got it right. It also appears that Knight retcons the effect of joker blood to turn all victims into the Joker. The difference between this and what happened to Batman in AC could potentially be handwaved as a difference in dosage, Batman's prior Titan exposure, or that Joker in AC simply didn't know what his blood would do. It's definitely one of the biggest, weirdest holes in the AK plot, though. The titan/joker blood/etc material has always been a source of particularly weak plot devices, though.

It'd have to be Batman monologuing Gordon at the movie studio, but Adams, Bell, et al were given Joker blood and the transfusion was never recorded because plot macguffin, and turned into the Joker and we're never subsequently administered the cure.

It's sad because at the end of Asylum, there's at scene where Scarecrow's hand is hanging on to a Titan container floating in Gotham Bay. Then there's the hidden barge in Arkham City with Titan containers and Scarecrow's research. They set it up from the beginning of the series that Scarecrow actually got his hands on the dangerous chemical that started this all, and so he could do some serious damage. And yet in Arkham Knight, they make no mention of that. I guess it's implied that his new fear toxin could be based off of the Titan, but it's not really spelled out. Just feels like they dropped the ball on that one, but that's the overall feeling for most plot threads in Arkham Knight. As to the "cure," I guess it's implied that Batman's cure at the end of City didn't actually work.

It also would make no sense because Batman explicitly has guilt over the Joker dying from his own Titan sickness so I guess the cure would have worked on that or... Man, if that is really true it's seriously just absurdly awful plot.

Shoehorning TITAN into every game does the series no favors either. Especially when it just does whatever when it shows up. It's been: * Venom that doesn't need a canister. (Origins, Asylum, City) * Some medical treatment formula (Asylum) * Venom that DOES need a canister. (Asylum) * Deadly run-off (Asylum) * Poison Blood Disease (City) * Deadly Clown Disease (Knight)

I'd like it if they made a sequel to Origins, though with the lukewarm reception it got I doubt it'll happen. Angry Rash Inexperienced Batman was a better and more interesting character than the seasoned one in Arkham Knight. Without the Joker the plot and dialogue of Knight would've been boring as poo poo.

Just completely randomized as far as we know. When the speedrunners finish their runs they of say to guess to cameo during the credits as it's different everytime, and of course they are doing a fixed route through the game hundreds of times. It's just the three bosses that could have been killed rather than shown to be locked up after their run in with Bats, be it from getting run over, mauled by Croc or falling down a pit, all of which involve the water. Scarecrow is probably the best fit as he's the only one you could possibly expect to be killed from it, no to mention how things go with him in the later games.
