Indeed they did. No way in hell am I spending an extra $40 on poorly reviewed content, especially for a game that had to be taken off Steam entirely because of how badly it ran at launch.
I'll just wait until this goes on sale.

Maybe.
Some didn't. And as i said some form of the compensation would be sign of good will. And if they ask full retail price again they are just crazy.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Did you buy it from a website that took advantage of regional price differences? Or an Nvidia code from eBay?

I bought it from Nuveem honey, GAF said it was legit.
I'm not PC only, I have all other consoles but the X1, but if I buy a game on a platform, I want it to run well, and I don't wanto to buy it on a second platform and spend twice the money.

No. They didn't start that until recently.
The ones that didnt threw hours into the game. Everyone else was entitled to a refund. If you had put 10 hours into it sure, you wont get a refund.

GOTY edition will be $15 on a Steam sale soon enough.

Hm. I wonder if things like this is what pushed them to start doing that. WB probably wouldn't authorize refunds to the distributor if it was sold out of the region they were allowed to sell in.

I guess I could see that. Only reason I could think of for my specific case.

IIRC they fixed a week after lauch if you are speaking of the 'wet textures'.
Yay, can't wait! I still have my d1 copy.
Sigh

Yeah, it does suck. However, we should probably be realistic here and see why WB isn't tripping over themselves to give incentives to people who got the game at a huge discount at launch.

That's true. I was just hoping for at least something. Oh well.

So what have they done to fix the remaining issues since the last patch?
Is there an update on that or are they just going to release it again anyway?

Played it and beat it at release on PC. Did everything except for Riddler trophies. Really enjoyed the game but won't reward WB with any more money.
FFXIV sort of.
Also what is wrong with that? People tried to play game in hope for quick fix. WB f-ed up big time. Not only they released bad port but they were silent for weeks regarding patches.

It's only been since June. But thanks for being the type of company that didn't go the extra mile, and merely fixed what should've worked in the first place.

The way you worded i can't tell if you got your refund back from GMG or GMG didn't do refunds.
I got my refund from GMG although i feel kind of bad because i still have the game on steam, the key was never deactivated or anything so they take a full loss i guess

So technically they needed an extra year (initial release date was October 14th 2014, this got pushed back to June 2nd and then June 23rd) to complete the game.

I think it's a phenomenal game, but I skipped all the Batman games after Asylum.
The game still can't keep a solid 60 while driving, so I guess this is the best they can do. Thank goodness for Gsync. It's 100% playable for me.

I remember asking what the reason was for this delay, and only was told "game development is hard."
I guess that was right

If the Steam release is under a different name/ID/whatever, I hope everyone moves their negative reviews over to it. There will be no positive spin on this

This is something that troubles me - the game will be re-released, so isn't it fair that people should review the new version instead of the old one?
I suppose if people move their negative reviews in the new version will do some good in that companies like WB will not be getting away with selling unfinished games; on the other hand, WB proved that they didn't get away with it, as they offered refunds and re-released the game when they thought they brought it to the state it should have been from the start (which we still haven't seen yet, but it's only 4 days away).

After all this time, I have no regret buying Arkham Knight with Season Pass for $15ish from a key reseller... especially after getting burned on Mortal Kombat X. They fucked over their reputation so hard on PC, I feel bad for any dev teams locked in to publishing deals with them before this happened.

Yeah, the hitching is not what made me stop playing this game.

Same here. The port was shit, but it was playable. No interest in coming back to it now.

That it still manages to be a better game and a better Batman simulator than Asylum despite only being able to play outside the Batmobile in two side missions is testament to how good the game is.

No mention of additional fixes/optimizations? Surely there must be more, right?
