DLC sounds interesting. When do we think the "GOTY" edition will be out? March April maybe?

 

[BiggNife]

Has any of the DLC story content been any good? I know most people agree Batgirl was underwhelming, and the Red Hood mission is like ten minutes long. I'm way more interested in story content than DLC costumes/batmobiles/challenge maps but nothing I've seen so far has really piqued my interest.

No, the story packs thus far have all been completely forgettable. Harley's had a neat touch of her psyche and insecurities vocalizing themselves in her version of "detective mode", but that's it.

 

[The Lamonster]

I am mostly looking forward to the classic 60's Robin and Catwoman suits.

 

[lcap]

It's honestly the worst $40 bucks I've ever spent on a Season Pass. It's simply not worth the value I've paid yet. I really hope it changes througout the DLC launches, but it's the first time I regret a purchase this gen.

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

I still can't play any of this on my pc version that still runs like shit. Fuck off wb.

 

[ubersticky]

Give us trophies for the crime fighter packs or anything like that?

Arkham DLC has always been trash.

 

[KingV]

This might be the worst season pass of all time.

 

[keltickennedy]

Bummed they didn't make the Movie costume as well to go with the tumbler. Guess the Arkham Origins costume will be the closest thing.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Arkham DLC has always been trash.

Except for Origins' Cold, Cold Heart. But that's the exception.

 

[Monkeylord]

Arkham DLC has always been trash.

That's harsh... Cold, Cold Heart was really good (IMO).

 

[jrush64]

To think I was 1 click away from buying the season pass. I want another cold cold heart.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

This might be the worst season pass of all time.

Yeah. I got a good deal on it and I still feel immensely ripped off looking at it's content.

Yeah, I'm on PC and can't access the DLC >_>

This season pass was £35 people ._.

Honestly dude, I have no sympathy at all for you. The DLC for Arkham City was shite, which should have been a forewarning of what to expect from Arkham Knight, and Warner are a pretty bad publisher when it comes to removing stuff to sell back as DLC.

I'm thankful I skipped. I was feeling anxious about it before but now? Nah. Hopefully this DLC is actually interesting, but I think my reservation is justified. The Catwoman DLC next month will hopefully be something worth talking about.

• GCPD Lockdown: Set after the events of Arkham Knight, play as Nightwing to stop the Penguin from breaking out of the Gotham City Police Department in this thrilling story pack.

probably the only thing im excited for here but i can see that being very meh like harley quinn and red hood.


Meh

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Meh

It'll probably be less involved than the Origins GCPD segment.

It's a shame thinking of what could've been for this season pass considering the source material is ripe for episodic content. Oh well

 

[KevinCow]

I still can't believe they charged $40 for this season pass.

 

[HK-47]

I still can't believe they charged $40 for this season pass.

*looks at PC version*

I can.

 

[HardRojo]

Don't really like the idea of releasing story DLC that's set after the events of the game. I feel like it kind of messed with the ending.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Yyyyyup. The Batgirl one? Oh shit, it's a Killing Joke-inspired DLC? No.... no she goes in, saved her dad and.... yeah.

 

[kamineko]

Be nice if they added the real ending to the season pass.

I got halfway through the Riddler stuff, think I'm done with it.

 

[DoctorFling]

Imagine how great some of this stuff would have been as in-game unlockables, a crying shame.

 

[Bizzquik]

I still can't believe they charged $40 for this season pass.

*looks at PC version*
I can.

LoL. That's beautiful.

...And yet, so hurtful. (says the guy that pre-purchased the PC game)
LoL

 

[lcap]

Honestly dude, I have no sympathy at all for you. The DLC for Arkham City was shite, which should have been a forewarning of what to expect from Arkham Knight, and Warner are a pretty bad publisher when it comes to removing stuff to sell back as DLC.

It was my first Arkham game and I really enjoyed the game, so, as I was finishing the game I decided to buy it hoping it would bring me more of the game I was loving.

Now that the dust has settled I feel kinda cheated. I played the Batgirl DLC and didn't liked it. The Harley was nice albeit short, and the Red Hood I still have no interest in playing it.

I have nothing against season passes, but as long as they give at least the value I'm expecting from it and this is really not the case.

It's all been terrible, forgettable or both. The most exciting thing coming is actually a free patch coming to allow us to play as all the characters in the challenge missions.

 

[BY2K]

No Nolan Suit?

Bummer.

 

[Shaanyboi]

No Nolan Suit?

Bummer.

It's bound to happen eventually. October isn't the last month of content, is it?

 

[CryptiK]

It's bound to happen eventually. October isn't the last month of content, is it?

No there is still a lot more to come. There apparently is a much bigger DLC incoming later on.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

ctrl + f "PC"

Yep figured.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm really afraid this DLC won't mention the ending at all

 

[delSai]

Cool. Got my plat yesterday and want some more to play.

 

[CryptiK]

October DLC was revealed as well : http://imgur.com/a/AP2OS

Another race track thing with the 66 Batmobile and another 10 min DLC Story.

 

[Buburibon]

I'm still waiting for the "full-rain effects on continue" DLC to hit the PC.

Spoiler

Seriously, though, I can't wait to play through all the DLC once they manage to fix it on PC.

 

[AmyS]

What about 'The Season of Infamy' DLC ?

 

[Nick]

I'm actually quite pleased that the original disc content felt like a complete package to me, so I'm not pressed that I didn't buy the season pass. Maybe if a deal shows up where it's 20 dollars or less. *shrug*

 

[Setsuna]

What if we told them that we dont care about predator maps and that what we want is to run around the city as all of the characters. As well as that we just want to use characters on any course

Like why are they being so strict on what we can do

 

[strafer]

Is the Arkham Origins suit still in the game?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

ctrl + f "PC"

Yep figured.

Yep.

 

[Aces&Eights]

Shit, I'm still near the beginning of the core game. Put it down for Metal Gear but I suspect Fallout 4 will be my next go to game once I'm done with Snake. Then Bloodborne DLC. Ugh, I should have waited to buy this game.

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

Super pumped for Catwoman content. I wish the story pack was at least as big as the Batgirl DLC but it probably won't be. Still that 66 skin is awesome. Julie Newmar = the best Catwoman.

 

[Zaheer]

Wow, I'm glad I waited instead of picking this up on release day. I was actually considering picking up the season pass if it was $20-25 because the last entry was incredible. That $40 price tag saved me from myself. Can't wait to pick up the GOTYE of this and Mortal Kombat X.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Nightwing is one of my favorite heroes. I hope this is good.

I might buy it depending on the price and if its any good.

If its as forgettable as Harley/Red Hood/Batgirl. Then I'll skip it.

Arkham Knight DLC has been pretty terribad.

 

[ShutterMunster]

I got this season pass for $20 and I still feel underwhelmed by their releases. The Harley Quinn and Batgirl stuff was so half-baked. Tremendously short side affairs with no new gameplay experiences to boot. If anything playing as Batgirl, especially after having completed the main campaign, felt like a chore. She didn't have a lot of the moves and gadgets Batman had and it made some of those large enemy encounters a little frustrating.

Also: How do you release the Tumbler and none of the Nolan Bat-Suits? I mean you did it for the 89' one, why not for this one? I'm still so goddamn annoyed about all this race track content. The worst part of the game and it's the largest aspect of their DLC platform. I try not to get worked up over a lot of this stuff—I normally don't even bother with DLC—but Rocksteady really shit the bed in some key areas with their last Bat effort. It's so immensely disappointing.

 

[neogaffer1]

i paid the $7 or whatever for the batgirl pack and totally regretted it, i'm not falling for the same shit again.

even if it's nightwing.

 

[Lime]

Has Warner Brothers said or hinted at anything about compensating the PC customers of the game? Perhaps a free game or something.

 

[Some Nobody]

What if we told them that we dont care about predator maps and that what we want is to run around the city as all of the characters. As well as that we just want to use characters on any course

Returned this game two weeks after I got it and never regretted because I didn't like the answers I got to this.

 

[jaxpunk]

I wouldn't hold your breath. I got the game free with my 970 and I feel ripped off. Bought it from Best Buy and they didn't give two shits that the game was broke because the code redeemed. Though ya can't chalk it up to WB pc ports as a whole, Mad Max runs like a champ.
