Never buy season passes beforehand. Never.

Almost every single time the following will happen:

A) You won't like the game.
B) The season pass content won't be out for months after the game is out.
C) In the case of B, the season pass itself will go on sale at some point before the content is out.
D) The season pass content will be lovely or not worth the money.
E) Some of the season pass content will be good but it will be cheaper to buy just the good content instead of all the content.

On the other hand, I got the premium edition for $36.

Hey pc gamers that actually have it working. How are the controls? The game manual says takedowns are now alt+1-4 and the quickfire gadgets aren't mapped to anything? Is this true and if so how does it work?

You quickfire the gadgets by double tapping the button for selecting that gadget.

So pressing 1 selects the batarang and pressing 1 twice is a quickfire batarang.

I played the previous games with a controller, but don't have one available right now. Mouse and keyboard feels weird for this game.

I can totally understand people being upset about the technical issues with the PC version, but gently caress if the game isn't great enough that I don't really care.

I mean, I'd really like if they fixed the frequent massive framerate drops, but I'm not going to fling poo poo because of it.

Can someone who owns this on PC please post a review to the effect of "Runs great on SteamOS! 10/10!" and post screenshots of their hatemail?

Supposedly the FPS lock can be upped via .ini files? After 60fps Dark Souls turning ladders into deathtraps I don't see that being an option. Who'd they outsource the PC port to? Surely not Nixxes.

Mac and Linux versions aren't even out until the fall. Not that I'd expect the kind people that'd send hatemail to that kind of trolling would be aware of facts.

Was I supposed to do something to lower the bridges to the last island? Riddler keeps insulting batman for not being able to do his dumb race because the batmobile can't get to the last island.

I ran into that too. It turns out you just have to keep doing the main story until Batman asks Alfred to lower the bridges.

I'd really assume it'd work natively, seeing as the controller screen shows the DS4 with no controller plugged in.

Oh yeah, how the gently caress do you play the DLC stuff?

I preordered the game and the season pass (lol) and I can't find the option to play anything but the main story.

Having the season pass does not give you the Harley Quinn pack until some point in the future. To get it now, you need a code specifically for it.

I bought from cdkeys.com and didn't get my code for the Harley Quinn pack until this morning.

Weren't the challenge maps and extra characters all DLC in the last Rocksteady game too?

Arkham City without any DLC has 6 combat challenges, 6 predator challenges, extreme versions of all of those and the silly challenge campaign thing.

CharlestonJew posted:

There seems to be a lack of challenge maps compared to the previous games, seems like you can only play as Batman in the challenge maps too.

It's not quite the same, but I've unlocked a combat challenge where you fight with Nightwing.

I get the feeling that the non-Batman characters don't have the moveset for predator rooms in Arkham Knight.

I have textures on low and it looks fine, so there's probably also something else going on.

What am I supposed to do in the final riddler challenge?

I assume you mean with Catwoman.
Use the electric blast thingy to move the blocks. Whichever block Catwoman is standing on won't move. Pounce to the ceiling to actually get into the room. The goal is to get empty spaces under wherever the lasers are.

Turns out you can't get more than 20 rival points on a single AR challenge. And it's not that hard to get in the one where you play as Azrael.

RatHat posted:

Also are there Riddler challenges in this game? Like the "Perform X takedowns" kinda thing.

The closest thing is the unlock requirements for AR challenges.

Batmobile and flying still loving up my PC version. This patch did very little to fix my problems and I didn't see any of the new settings in the graphics options.

The first part of the announcement is stuff that they're working on. The second part is what's in the just released update.

Actually, who has the rights to make Spiderman games now? Wasn't there a thing a year or two back when Activision lost them and had to stop selling all the old poo poo Spiderman games?

I mean, there's no one to actually make a good Spiderman game, but I'd be interesting in seeing who attempts it next.

You might be thinking of the Deadpool game, which is no longer for sale. Activision put out Amazing Spider-Man 2 last year and it's still for sale on Steam.

Ra's al Ghul's body can be found in Arkham Asylum's morgue, but it's gone and he's alive by the time City comes around.

Also, one of the side stories in Arkham Knight talks about the League of Assassin wants to resurrect Ra's.

So do you have to ace every AR challenge to get all the upgrades, or can you just keep leveling up in NG+ and get them all eventually?

You keep getting levels and upgrade points from side quests in NG+. 100%'ing the game once and doing all the challenges isn't even enough to get all the upgrades.

It's not even the worst Arkham game.


That's not really true. The Arkham games usually only had like 4 or 5 actual challenge maps and then EXTREME versions where they add some electric sticks. I want more challenge maps, but I won't act like the games usually gave us more. And stuff like Deathstroke, Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman was always DLC. Just buy the Season Pass.

Before DLC and not counting the extreme versions, Arkham City had 6 combat challenges and 6 predator challenges.

On that note, what's with the puzzle where you stand on a switch in one zeppelin and question marks on the other zeppelin light up?

I think you just need to hit the rightmost question mark while it's lit. Remote control batarang is the easiest way to do it.

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.

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.

Steam downloaded a big update, but the menu lists the new DLC as coming soon and I can't play it.

There was also some update and someone on the Steam forums claim that the game runs better on his super beefed up machine.

The trailer doesn't mention it but it should add character selection to the Predator challenge rooms as well.

EDIT: according to the WB boards it also tweaked Red Hood, Harley and Batgirl's movesets

Harley Quinn:
- Critical Strikes
- Extra ballistic and combat armour
- Blade Dodge Takedown
- Special combo boost (can do special combo takedown at X5)

Batgirl:
- Critical Strikes
- Extra ballistic and combat armour
- Blade Dodge Takedown
- Special combo boost (can do special combo moves at X5)
- Special Combo Disarm + Destroy
- Special Combo Multi-Ground Takedown

Red Hood:
- Critical Strikes
- Extra ballistic and combat armour
- Blade Dodge Takedown

This is weird. They don't seem to actually have critical strikes, but get an extra multiplier point for strikes while the combo meter is charged. Except if the final slomo attack is a strike it counts as a proper critical strike.

I also still only have combo takedown with Batgirl, no disarms or multi-ground takedown.
