90% of my gametime is going to be spent listening to thugs banter. I have no problem with this.

I've only played through a couple of hours but it looks amazing and the level of detail is incredible. I don't like how it's cramming the Batmobile in and I hope that this is just early-game stuff where they're trying to make sure you're fully aware of it and what it can do - I far prefer brooding on rooftops, gliding through the air and listening to thug banter over scuttling about like a crab while trying to make sure blue lines don't become red lines.

I've heard reports ranging from "sluggish, but okay" to "completely broken" and I'm not sure what to expect from my year old PC and GTX 770. Runs absolutely fine for me and it looks great, but I beat the recommended specs so I'd be pretty pissed off if that wasn't the case.

I'm on a 770 and it runs pretty sweetly, I guess it's just a crapshoot really  I should say I just went with whatever nvidia suggested were the optimal settings, so I imagine all the bells and whistles aren't turned on - game still looks fantastic to me though (better than City for sure) and runs very well.

Was in the middle of a big group of thugs and beating the poo poo out of them, went to use the Batclaw on a guy just as a car come skidding by on the street. The batclaw hit that instead, Batman leaped up onto the roof of the car and did something (anchored the line to a wall or something, it all happened so fast I wasn't sure what happened) which caused the car to flip over and crash as he backflipped of it. I then turned him around and sauntered him back to where the surviving thugs were waiting, presumably having just witnessed that and deciding there was no point in running because it's now quite clear NOTHING is going to stop Batman

"Don't go into the light, Bats, it's not fair... they'd never let me in!"  Also I hosed up and got killed by a henchman during a fight, and the henchman actually got to pop up on the death screen to do a pithy one-liner - never seen that in any of the Arkham games before and thought it was pretty neat

I had to avoid the thread till I was finished the story because so many spoilers were just being casually bandied about in the early days, so apologies if this has been covered in depth already. When I pre-ordered the game it said it came with the Harley DLC, but on my menu it has Arkham Stories grayed out so I can't select it. Is this a common problem/is there something I can do to fix this?

Speedball posted:the Knight unleashes guys in suits that prevent you from using detective mode too during his boss fight. It's hilarious just casually sabotaging their suits so you can see them, then stalking them as the Knight gloats about how you're blind and don't know where the militia are. It was fun how the Knight's attempts to taunt Batman about how he was superior (I own the skies, this isn't your city anymore, these tanks are gonna swarm you etc) became more frustrated as time goes on and not only is Batman surviving, but he's tearing the militia apart.

Goddammit  Edit: Looks like there was a mix-up with Warner Brothers and they didn't send out the code till later, and it ended up in Google's stupid "social" setting that not a single person on the planet ever looks at! Now I can be disappointed in the DLC like everybody else

On my New Game+ I decided to make Scarecrow the first guy I caught (___Stagg____ ruined that), which means this time around there are still some militia guys hanging about once he's been caught. Their chatter shifts from talking about concerns about their changing bosses to all kinds of talk about the Riddler which is hilarious, because they don't seem to grasp who he is or what he does and think all the trophies and deathtraps laid around are part of some kind of Public Art exhibit Gotham is holding this month  "I found the neat green puzzle on the street, but I couldn't figure it out!"

poptart_fairy posted:I love how consistently the Riddler is treated as a laughing stock. There is one Riddler informant you can go back to and talk more with later on, and it's quite neat hearing him talk about the Riddler. He makes the point that at first it was kind of funny/even charming to see Riddler get busted and thrown in jail and listen to him rant about besting Batman. But as time went on and Riddler started getting more obsessed, no longer "taking care of himself", his physical/mental wellbeing deteriorating, his clothes getting increasingly dirty etc it stopped being amusing and just became sad and pathetic to the point that the guy just genuinely felt bad for him.

I cannot get the Leap of Faith achievement which is driving me mad, it's the only (listed) achievement left in the game for me to get, but no matter how many jumps I've made (you need 8, I found a guide with 16) it won't seem to trigger. I've set 100m waypoints for each and am fairly certain I passed 100m on at least 10 of them, but there's no way to track if you have or haven't so I don't know if I just need to get one more or I'm still sitting on zero. I guess I'll just have to leave it, there are other games to play and I've played the hell out of this game since it came out. And people weren't kidding about that Harley Quinn DLC being short

I think the first time that happened, Dick as Batman is fighting Joker who cracks some terrible joke.... and Dick cracks one right back. Joker gets all super-pissed because BATMAN'S NOT SUPPOSED TO JOKE BACK!

The one thing that bugs me about being spotted by thugs during predator sections is that you still get the extreme slowdown/get out of there or throw a batarang thing happen even if you've sabotaged their gun to jam or even knock them unconscious. It's kinda annoying to be choking out one thug and then have to sit there waiting out an extreme slow-mo section just so the thug who spotted you can knock himself out.

I really, really loved that his part of the story ends after he forces the God/Embodiment of Evil itself to admit it is scared of him - a cowardly and superstitious lot indeed  I was really impressed by the ending of Final Crisis which seemed to be setting the stage for a brighter, happier, more positive direction for DC Comics in general. They very quickly "solved" that "problem" though

Aexo posted:I was surprised to hear that the PC sales had been halted on this game. It stuttered a few times and there were some weird cutscene type glitches, but it wasn't unplayable for me at all. I'm wondering if people tweaking things contributed to it breaking? There are those who were lucky enough to have the game run well on PC (I am one of the lucky ones) but a pretty significant number of people had the game basically be unplayable for them - this doesn't seem to have been a case of a vocal minority, it was bad enough that WB pulled the game from sale (helped by Steam's refund policy costing WB more money for refunds than they got for the initial purchase) and apologized for making a lovely port.

DrBouvenstein posted:JFC, this mission where you defend GPD. 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.

Hopper posted:So this game is currently 17€ for PC in the deluxe edition with season pass. Should I grab it? The PC release was a giant clusterfuck and it still hasn't been fixed. You can take a gamble and it might play absolutely fine with no issues like it did for me (in which case it is MORE than worth the money), but the problem was widespread enough that WB actually pulled the game from sale until they could get it fixed. The first interim fix is apparently still in testing, so I assume you've seen this on sale as a physical item?

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.

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

l33t b4c0n posted:Or they could patch in an actual Scarecrow endgame boss fight. I actually loved their ending, I thought it made a lot of sense to finally have Bruce and Scarecrow face-to-face, the Scarecrow having done everything he promised to do.... and then recoil in fear when Bruce STILL isn't afraid of him. It reminded me of one of the best bits of Asylum, when you come out of the hallucination and Batman has Scarecrow in a choke-grip and he's freaking out going,"How are you still not scared.... who are you? WHAT are you!?!  " - no need to have a fistfight when Batman has already completely broken him psychologically.I just recently played through the DLC stuff (though I've barely touched the AR challenges) and even though I was one of the lucky ones who the game always played fine for on PC, the patch did at least show me what I'd been missing in terms of graphics, as everything was far cleaner/crisper than what I'd been used to playing through. The funny thing is that if I try to "optimize" the settings for the game it sets everything to low, but if I leave it all on the "high" settings I had for the game pre-patch, it runs just as well but now looks far, far better.

avisgoth posted:So is this game worth the sale currently going on? PC version on Steam is $23.99...I'm on the fence. If it runs for you then it's more of the same of Asylum and City (which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned) and well worth the price. If it doesn't run, you can always request a refund because the game doesn't work (or does but only with extremely limited graphics/framerate etc). I was lucky in that it always ran fine, the recent patches make the game look better and it runs about as well as it did before. Many others it wouldn't run for them at all, and I believe the patches have improved that though there are still a number of people who the game still simply won't run for.

Finished up all the achievements at last and decided to call it a day - I could 3-star all the AR Challenges but there is just too much repetition there for my liking, so I only did what I needed for achievements. I've 100%ed every Arkham game (apart from Origins and its insistence on multiplayer achievements  ) and in the end I got as much fun and value for money out of this as I did all the rest. I was absolutely one of the lucky ones though, even on release the game ran fine for me, just without a lot of the graphical bells and whistles. Post-patches, it runs exactly as well but now with the graphics turned up higher so it's prettier.ImpAtom posted:It's inconsistent, which is part of the problem. It does run well for some people but it isn't reliable as to why. Yeah, my computer is good but not great, and starting to get on in years, but it played the game fine on release. It didn't seem to be so much how powerful your computer was as whether your set-up just happened to mesh with what the game was trying to do. Which is what makes questions like the below so difficult to answer: Capn Beeb posted:Is $20 for this a fair deal for the game and season pass bundled in? Seems it's still pretty hit and miss with folks but I've been curious about it for a while, especially now that I've upgraded my PC. $20 is a great deal for everything.... so long as the game actually runs well for you (or at all). There's no way of knowing without buying and trying, unfortunately.
