Is the game still broken for PC?

I find it funny they're not only still not acknowledging Arkham Origins, but also playing coy with a future Rocksteady Batman game.
They do acknowledge Origins in the game in the GCPD, because the Origins villains' stuff in the evidence room and some dialogue from the villains directly references events from that game.

I'm guessing they don't include AO into the "trilogy" of Arkham Asylum->City->Knight because whatever dumb poo poo Joker Blood stupid plot they want to carry on as the signifier for the series overall plot.

Yeah, Firefly's attack on the city is directly motivated by the events of Origins for one thing. It's weird, and kind of hilarious, how Deadshot doesn't contribute to the game given his massive THIS ISN'T OVER in City and Origins rant though. :v:

Plus, y'know, the entire Rocksteady trilogy would have been rendered pointless if Origins Batman had just let that Joker cock fall to his death.

I gotta admit, the DLC being so absolutely pathetic makes my decision to buy the game up front instead of waiting for an inevitable GOTY edition acceptable. On Bone, mind you, so it was absolutely fine the whole way through.

I mean, of course there'll be a GOTY version, companies are shameless, but it'll come off as rather tasteless if they release it on PC.

I think they've more or less given up on performance issues at this point, which sucks. I'm lucky in that it runs well for me, but I know a lot of people still have problems and the abject surrender on SLI is pretty sad.

I got a 980ti recently and can now play at ridiculous max settings, including the gameworks poo poo and it barely dips below 60fps at 1440p. It uses 4.5ish gigs of VRAM, which I don't even know what to say about that.

yeah the only things worth getting really are the 10 bucks worth of all the challenge maps and then if you realllllly want red hood or harley you can get that pack too. I wouldn't at all but I got them both for free day 1. those maps should have been in day 1 but at least they got whipped by player outcry and put a shitload back into the game.

So is the Catwoman DLC alright apart from the final boss fight? I've been pretty underwhelmed by the episode DLC so far though.

There isn't even a boss fight really. It's a predator room, a fight room, and the same fight room with a shrinking floor.

Ah right, thanks. Have you gotten the Knightfall ending? I keep thinking I should try for it but there are aspects of the games I didn't really like and wonder if it's worth suffering through it just to get that ending.

The extra bit added to the ending by Knightfall is an FMV that's about two minutes long. Just YouTube it.

This is true. It's basically the best boss fight in the game (for a given value of "boss fight").

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

We're getting a TDK(R?) suit, though. And the original Arkham batmobile, which I don't care about because it won't transform.

The thing I saw showed them driving it around the city, not in a race. Doesn't that mean it should be transformable?

Was that a vote? I don't remember that one.

I just remember them claiming that making both the Classic Harley skin and Arkham Knight skin for Red Hood was just too much work and wanted people to vote on which one they wanted more.

So just to recap, $40 season pass:
  • some skins
  • 2-3 (?) hours of story content
  • more Batmobile stuff that most people didn't like in the first place
  • ...?
I feel bad for anyone who spent a penny on this game. It's a shame that the season pass was handled so poorly too because there are developers who do them right.

hahaha holy poo poo that all sounds awful. rocksteady pretty much pissed away all goodwill for the future this year.

I loved the base game but all the DLC is worthless, except maybe challenge packs which I did get but those really should have been in Day 1. So much of it was just due to backlash from people. what a goddamn shame.
