It's not a driving section, you'll need to use the Batmobile to get around because it's so HUGE. |

Can't wait, I'll be buying to play over xmas. Be glad to not play another Assassin Creed game over the festive period. Edit - Unless a Fallout game is announced at E3 for release this year. |

This nonsense must be driving the developers insane, imagine having to develop and test four versions (+ the PC as well in most cases) of everything. I'd rather see them plowing all their resources in the 'next gen' versions rather than dividing up their staff and potentially making compromises to get stuff running on the 360/PS3, which would also encourage people to upgrade and mean the industry can move on quicker. |

I don't like their design for Robin at all. I also don't like that the Batmobile is more like a tank than a car. Seems to be quite shooty, too. |

First review is up and it plays a bit to expectations i.e. good game but Batmobile bits are a major flaw. |

To be honest, I bloody loved Asylum but I didn't enjoy City nearly as much. I don't fancy this one at all. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I've been playing it today and it is very, very good. But then I liked Arkham City. The way Gotham has been laid out in this makes the Batmobile a worthwhile addition for getting around, although the controls are a little sketchy and the combat in it isn't as enjoyable as the fisticuffs when on foot. All the same though, if you liked Asylum and City, you should love this one. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I still haven't managed to play this! Got home last night and put the disc in the drive which kicked off a ~3GB patch download. I then redeemed the codes for all the extra content that came with it which added another couple of GB to the download list. Plus the Games of Thrones and Borderlands Telltale games wanted updating as well so I just left the PS4 to it and did something else. Obviously I could've played the game anyway and just let things download in the background but with all the shite happening around the PC version I'd prefer to be fully patched up before starting just in case; and with the various add-ons already integrated as I'm not sure how and when they key into the game. Tonight though! Maybe. And in related news, the PC version has been pulled entirely while they fix it because it's apparently such a shambles. Fuck sake. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
Looks like the PC version is a total trainwreck at the moment, with shocking performance, 30FPS cap by default, missing console graphical features (!), and generally just being an obvious rush-job to get it out of the door. It's sat in my Steam library ready to install but I'll just wait until it's had a few patches, the problems have been 'acknowledged' and are being worked on apparently. I think a good rule of thumb these days is not to jump in right at launch, The Witcher 3 for example is already up to 1.06 and 1.07 is incoming which will feature many more improvements and fixes. (I'm holding off on getting involved with it until the dev says there's nothing more of any significance they want to patch.) I'm not right fussed on the Batman games anyway, but as it was a freebie with my graphics card I may as well take a look - WHEN IT WORKS PROPERLY. |

Crikey, withdrawn from sale on Steam now. Guess that new Steam refunds policy was hurting them eh? (Especially since the distributor doesn't get the Steam cut back as part of the refund apparently, and of course they don't even get a physical product returned.) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... t-pc-sales |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I'm glad I plumped for the PS4 version of this now. I got the previous three on PC as they were all generally much better versions than the console ones, but I had a feeling my PC wouldn't be quite up to the task of this one. Apparently this time around, Rocksteady worked primarily on the console versions (PS4 was the lead format I believe) and the PC version got farmed out to someone else - whereas Asylum and City were both produced in-house. Pretty shocking state of affairs really. It's a real shame - the more I play this game, the more I love it. I honestly think it's so far proving to be the best in the series (having very recently replayed both Asylum and City in the build up to this). Some of what they've done with the plot is very, very clever indeed and it feels like a big finale to the series. One of the little touches I love involves a big set-piece fairly early on into the main plot: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Plus, any 'gritty' Batman game that lets you play as Adam West Batman, with your Bat-tank-mobile painted black and red like the 60's Batmobile is always going to get my vote. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I 'finished' this, plus the Harley and Red Hood DLC, last night and as I mentioned in the Finish 52 thread it was a bit of a mixed bag. The basics that you'd expect from any Arkham game were all present and correct but the additions and changes were all over the place so have a random list of good and bad stuff. The good:
The bad:
So, yeah; some aspects of it made it the best Arkham game and other stuff made it the worst. Absolutely worth playing and a great game by any standard but definitely flawed. |

I thought about getting this recently then decided I should probably play some of the games I've already got but haven't touched. I take a look at my shelf if games and lo and behold, there's a copy of Batman there. I guess I bought it and totally forgot. Anyway, I'm playing it now. It's fucking good, isn't it?

Wait, is it the PC you've got it on then? I don't know if I'd bother with it there given how badly implemented it apparently is. I would suggest getting a refund and buying the PS4 version but I think you missed the boat on that. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I've been playing this recently after grabbing it with the season pass for under £20 from an Amazon price error. The game says I'm about 50% of the way through it, I think I am close to the end of the main story now. I agree with everything Bamba said up there. I think they've stretched this format about as far as it can go, and the cracks are starting to show. It's not a bad game, but none of the sequels have really surpassed Asylum for my money, and I want to see Rocksteady start again from scratch on something else (even if that something else is a Justice League, Superman or DC movie adaptation game). I'm enjoying it, but if they put out another game that is the same again but biggerer in a couple of years I'll probably check out. |

I loved Asylum a lot. City I've just not got around to finishing - it's just more of the same but with more silly gadgets. I can't be arsed with this one or Origins. |

Post subject: | Re: Batman: Arkham Knight |
I've played them all apart from Knight so far. Origins was a bit pap compared to City but I guess that's because City was so, so good. |
