So, yea I know that batman arkham knight is running shit on pc; but I saw this deal and I thought that maybe it's worth buying now and then playing it when its fully patch, I don't know what you guys think?
here is the link in case you were interested too.
No. It is pretty much abandoned.
Meh....$5 bucks is a better deal, wait a year or two.
Not even worth to pirate either, imho x)
nope.
Only get it for a console, because that's the only place you are going to have a reasonable experience with the game.
No. Warner Bros. have basically have said they will not support the game any further on the PC platform. (even though the game breaking was their own fault) the game has no Crossfire or SLI support and it's locked at 30 FPS. if you unlock it via an ini file the game basically breaks even further. also there are graphical issues thanks to Nvidia's superior Gameworks experience. extreme sarcasm
Just don't. it's beyond repair and they don't want to fix it.
Damn! that sucks I just don't understand, why put a game out if you're not gonna support it, I think that is bad, because their just ruining their reputation, make people less likely to buy their games. Thanks for your opinion you guys, saved me the trouble.
To be fair it's been like that for a while. especially after the gameworks implementation. all Gameworks Titles have done poorly. the only exception to that was Witcher 3 and that was fixed. but overall 99% of Gameworks titles have done terrible or just didn't sell.
the list goes on.
i already have witcher 3, just saving up for a gpu, I'm saving for 390x
just get the R9-390. in real world scenarios you're not going to see much of an improvement in games with a 390 vs a 390x.
See if you can get it on G2A cheaper. They game is fun, and if you like the other arkham games you will love this. The batmobile is underwhelming, but it's more batman! The PC issues are bad, but i'm running a haswell i5 and a 950 and I do not have many issues aside from the occasional studder. I would give it a 6/10
Are you serious? How is there not a class action lawsuit over this?
The game works (no pun intended) that's why. But the graphical problems (though not game breaking) and the 30 FPS issue. Is also not an "Issue" or at least an issue worth suing for.
Warner Bros. Issued everyone who pre-ordered the game a full refund. Anyone who bought it after the fact you're going to have to deal with steam's refund policy.
So in other words, "pffhahahaha!!! We're making so much profit from the console versions, who gives a fuck!!!"
Eh basically. honestly they are not obligated to release it on the PC. They do it cause people ask for the game. Though they couldn't handle the backlash from the monster that is the PC Master Race Sub-Reddit so not much you can do besides not buy the game.
If anything the moral of the story is don't buy a Warner Bros game on PC ever again. Or if you wish to take it a step further, don't buy a Gameworks Title ever again.
This situation has really made me hold off getting a true gaming PC for sometime. My build currently is an AMD A10-7800 with 16GB DDR3 @2133 with 2 dedicated to vram. I can play most favorites at 1360x768 on decent settings with some mods added in and for me right now it works. Arkham Knight was the game that made me attempt to save up for a real gaming PC (I would also like to start streaming again at some point) because I wanted to be able to have the ability to run this game @1080p fully maxed out and enjoy it. Then WB goes and fucks it up. When will companies learn that PC is just as profitable, if not more, then the console market because those people are the true dedicated gamers that spend craploads more than console players because they want and pay for that experience
+1 for never buying a gameworks title. Then again I am in the frame of mind to never buy any PC game that is DRM ridden. (If game requires you to connect to a proprietary server forget it) I'm looking at you blizzard , EA, and Ubisoft.
Add all of you steam library to that list then.
After first load you no longer need to connect to steam server to play them. Add in the fact that most of them are not always online DRM. Then add in the fact that 90% of the games can have private servers that you don't have to pay for, if you can host your own server and have others join it with out connecting to steam then it's not an invasive DRM and I can live with it,
When you can't host a private server on your own hardware, when you can't connect to a private server with out connecting to the DRM server that's where I draw the line.
Still absolutely requires you to go through proprietary servers at least once per game. and eliminates all online features if not using steam.
