Batman: Arkham Knight - Review Thread

One benefit of PS4 is that you can trade it in if you dont like it (so the importance of that being proportional to your liking of the games/batman)

Greenman has that crazy 40% off code deal though which I dont understand - that must be a significant loss per unit

You cna return games on Stema now, however, not for keys you purchased elsewhere, so if you got it from Greenman, you're stuck.

As to the 40% being a "significant" loss per unit, that's true - compared to your usual PC digital unit sale, but it's actually still pretty good vs a console retail sale.

This gif makes no sense. Batman saves the cab driver.

FlyVPN offers free servers in just about every region, but there are session limits to be mindful of, which means switching to Offline Mode after the game has unlocked as if you revert back to your usual IP mid-game, your in-game status will cease, which breaks Steamworks functionality (Steam wouldn't boot you out of the game mid-session, to be clear). Again, though, the game is currently set to unlock worldwide at 10am PT, so no region is getting it sooner than the rest unless WB has Valve set region-specific unlock times.

Thank you for the info.

Well, i'll have to wait then.

I think the cab driver would have been safer inside the vehicle, instead being thrown out of a speeding vehicle like a rag doll 14 feet in the air, there is a good chance a human would die from being thrown out like that.

So since this game is rated M now, the first for the series, did Rocksteady go back to make any changes to the game?

Works on anything Arkham Knight. I got my season pass for 24 bucks.

Damn that's an amazing deal. I can't decide if I should throw down for the season pass or not...I never really even touched any of the DLC for the previous Arkham games, but it's tempting to get the game plus all upcoming DLC for the retail price of just the game ($60). But then again, $36 to play Batman at launch sounds like a steal.

Got my pre-load installed. Got my latest Nvidia drivers installed for my GTX 980. I am ready to go for tonight! BRING IT ON. I am so damn excited. Can't contain how giddy I am.

Honestly the DLC has been pretty mediocre so far. Harley Quinn's Revenge is ok but it's mostly filler and Cold, Cold Heart was actually decent but it was the only piece of DLC in the season pass outside of challenge maps and costumes. So far it seems like AK's season pass is a bit fuller but we won't know if it's garbage until the content is out.

Now saying that, I bought the premium edition because 40% off y'all.
 
40% off? Do you have a link to this deal and I'm assuming it's a code that will activate on Steam?

Edit: I think I read it wrong, as you are referring to the PS4 and trade ins, so I'm now realizing you probably are talking about 40% off of a PS4 version, which I'm still interested in if you have the link.

Hi yeah sorry about the confusion, the PC version is the one with the code at http://www.greenmangaming.com. Code is BETHEB-ATMANG-MG40PC.

For consoles - Best buy have a $10 certificate for preordering, and the GCU will also work off the based price (so save $12 off the game + the $10 certificate + points)

GCU is only $30 right now I think, lasts 2 years and gives 20% off all new games (which stacks on discounts) so if Best Buy works for you, amazing deal
 
You think you can figure out free cam cheat tables for this?

Finding the camera isn't a problem. Was easy in Arkham Knight (and pretty much all UE3 games).

The problem is.... altering the code for the camera results in a crash 99.9% of the time. This is a limitation on my knowledge of coding in assembly, of course. Someone better could probably find a way around it or do an even better job in C++ with some fancy DLL injection (hopefully Hattiwatti will take a look at it).

Jim does this stuff?

Please Jim, do this stuff!

Yes. I did this stuff for a lot of games. Twas the only way of having a free camera in The Witcher 3 before someone found that free camera buried in the debug code. But Unreal Engine 3 is a fickle bitch...

Went for the 40% deal on Greenmangaming and got the Ultimate edition. Got two keys, I'm assuming that the other key is for the ultimate edition season pass. But when I activate both keys only the base games shows up as in library while the season pass does not have the in library icon on it?

Is that normal before release? Anyone can confirm?

Hmm... yeah it seems like no one ever came up with a solution for the previous games :(

Go to the product page of the season pass on steam.

You should see the "already in library" banner
 
When does this unlock on PC? Will totally throw some cash at it now if it means playing this afternoon, but if I have to wait until tomorrow I probably won't have time to play until Saturday given my work and class schedule at the moment.

The Season Pass app hasn't been added to the Premium Edition subs yet.

This may change, but at present it's unlocking worldwide at the default time of 10am PT (i.e. coincident with Steam's daily store update).

Thinking about buying this. Looks good but I've never played any of the previous batman games. Not even a huge batman fan but still think I'd enjoy it.

I gotta say I'm kind of excited to get the limited edition, especially for the price I paid. I haven't had something fun to open up in a long time.

Also, the footage they showed during the e3 conference really solidifies why the game got an M rating.

Huh, thanks for the info (haven't looked at the OP in a week or so :\ ). Probably going to wait until the weekend I guess.

Grab a copy of Aslyum and City, imo, they're both amazing games.

There's no need to rush to play this.

I like how this conversation is structured around a middle aged man breaking a window with his fists, negotiating a not small man out of a probably small window and throwing them to safety, all while gripping the front of a speeding vehicle.
