Batman: Arkham Knight

[TKz]

Played some more today after the kind of shoddy performance last night. The Batmobile is the only place I get any real poor performance, a lot of frame stuttering whilst using it. It's okay otherwise, outside of the odd bit of stutter here and there. You can tell from the options menu that it's a real shoddy port, though.

On the plus side, it has native Dualshock 4 support including icons, so that's something I guess.

See I have no idea why anyone would get a game like this on PC. It seems like the very definition of a lazy couch sitting game. Silly master race Ticklez.

I'm one of the few people who preferred playing the first two games with a keyboard and mouse, so that was a big part of my decision to get this game on PC. I got so much satisfaction out of smacking foes around with a click of the mouse, something I never quite felt with a controller. Moreover, I got the Premium Edition for around £23, and I'm all for saving money when I can.

But I play it exactly the same way on PC... with a controller, laid back in my seat.

Oh.

PCs are different now. I'm not very tech savvy.

No but legit I had no idea you could do that now. What kind of controllers do PC's have? I thought it was just joysticks and keyboards.

[MalaCloudy Black]

You can use 360, PS3, PS4, and Xbone controllers all on a PC. Not to mention that companies like SteelSeries and Razer have their own PC controllers too.

Hell, you could play Arkham Knight with a SNES controller if you wanted. It'd be horrible but you could do it.

I just use the Dualshock 4. Usually it results in a better experience (for example, Witcher 3), because I can run it at higher FPS and better resolution. And if it doesn't run well, I can lower the settings to get a better performance, which I'd rather do than have it run poorly on console. (Like Witcher 3, again! )

WOAH

Joker showing up as I'm trying to get that last neutralized container to it's spot with a gun to my face... Holy crap

Then the install screen came up again

Fuckin' hell. I caved and bought in, mostly because I have the day off tomorrow.

[Bobfoc]

I've tried it out. The cutscenes stutter a bit, the graphics don't look particularly great and the Batmobile sections are unsteady, but overall, it's playable and fun. I'm not very far into the game at all, but I like the general storyline setup and hearing Jonathan Banks speak is never a bad thing. So far, so good, given the circumstances.

[probablyoliver]

3.5gb day one patch is killer. Probably won't be able to play until tomorrow and that's shitty.

[Tyrone]

Just starting the game now. Patch + 5 other add-ons didn't take as long as I thought it would, though.

[ChrisO]

Wait a second, so if I'm understanding this right after installing the next portion I guess, Bruce has Joker blood in him?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, that's from.. Arkham City, I think? I don't think he ever got it out of him, he just used the cure on himself.

[ChrisO]

Ahh yeah I forgot about that

[billyzzz80]

I hate the bat mobile.

Side Mission spoiler/factoid

I was just flying about the city and innocently headed towards a building. Flew straight into ManBat. Scared the absolute bejesus out of me.

[apsham]

Next gen has done this a fuckton of favours.

[apsham]

Getting around in the batmobile is kind of a pain but I feel I may get used to it.

And... is this five times the size of Arkham City? Like is there anything other than the three islands? Because.. it doesn't seem all that huge.
