Batman: Arkham Knight (PC/PS4/XB1 and Now... Switch))

its horrible, one section of the game on my GTX780 was getting 15-25fps! and on PS4 its smooth

pathetic PC release

There is also missing graphical effects and missing high res textures as well. Not just huge performance and stability issues. Pathetic? No. Abysmal PC release.

So do you need to finish everything to get the best ending or does it only have the one?
 
Boycotting this game until they fixed the PC version (even though I can get it op PS4, which has been collecting dust).

Just want to ask if the riddler's puzzle & challenges are still Pain in the ass.
 
Is it really THAT bad on PC? I read that some people are playing just fine.

I actually just started downloading like two days ago and it was excruciatingly slow and at one point the download resetted cus I was messing with the servers too often I assume...Well about 5 hours left now and I really wanted to play it. But if it is unplayable I might just request a refund.

What's the time limit for a refund request?

It's that bad. The people playing it fine are in the minority and I'll go so far to say they aren't playing it fine at all. The stuttering and problems might just be easier to overlook for some people. It's a little better if you play on an ssd for example but even then there are still glaring problems.
 
The brief pause is me rather than the game by the way...



And this was right after

 
You really have to be good at you job to take software that runs great on PS4/X1 hardware somehow manage to slow down on PC hardware that is twice as powerful.

More like 5 times as powerful.
The PC version of this game might just be the worst PC port released in recent memory. Yes...worse then even Ubisofts offerings of late.
 
So I made it to the final riddler race. All I have to say is screw you Rocksteady.
 
Very close to the end now (95 % on main mission), but think I am gone complete all except collecting riddler trophies and riddles, just too much.

How many hours ?

30 hours + (steam says 36, but have had some breaks where left the game on) and that sounds about right with games like this I often use to play around 10 hours or more every day.

Even I though I only spent $24 on this game, feels like a scam. Well I haven't even installed it yet, just reading how bad the PC version runs is enough for me to let my keycode sit in my email.

One thing I do want to know, can you free roam with the other characters or nah?
 
Got the game and I'm playing it on Xbox One. I'm really enjoying myself getting back in the groove. Game looks great in my opinion.

I feel bad for my PC brothers. Part of me wishes the FTC would get involved in the release of these unfinished games but I guess the consumer will have to choose winners & losers.
 
I think I like the new 52 skin the best out of the alternates I've used so far.

I don't think so, at least not that I've seen.

Agreed.

Yesterday I tried to crack it.. and couldn't. The lowest it got down too was 22fps but consistent as I was generating a lot of the pretty smoke from Gameworks. I could not make the game stutter or freeze.. hmm.
 
Watched my son play the PS4 version and..... I don't know what people are seeing? The PC version as it is now still looked better.
I need to bring it in the living room and hook it up to my 65 incher and see if that changes things.
 
Its factually worse.. Apart from the parts when you can get consistent 60fps
 
So GMG confirmed my refund will happen and that I just need to wait for the process. Game is still in my steam account and I can still play it. I'm assuming it's just a matter of time before steam locks me out of the game? Or will they be generous enough to let me keep it?
 
It all looks great and plays great, but I'm not seeing any areas that were as visually interesting as arkham city and asylum. Wonder city in AC was quite an experience.

Love everything about it, the story direction, acting, gameplay, the story mission levels are just a bit drab.

With Gameworks enabled @ 4k? Probably. But without AO, it really looks better on PS4 IMO. Add AO and suddenly the game will jump ahead of consoles. Rain textures and DOF aren't much of a big deal.
 
Rain effects are huge imo, without it cutscenes and close ups look flat
