Steam reviews are panning the game big time.

Some reviews from Steam:

Game is 100% broken as of launch. You could have a PC built by Jesus Christ himself and this game still will run at 10fps, a floaty cursor, and be completely unplayable at the LOWEST settings.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

Even after taking 15 minutes to figure out how to make the game 1080p and fullscreen, I couldnt start the game, as my mouse was stuck in a box in the upper left of the screen, making it impossible to hit the continue button on the brightness slider. I wouldnt recommend this, at least until they patch the bugs, and from what I am reading, theres a lot more than what Im experiencing.

Horrible first impressions on the game. The game is not even playable at its current state. If it doesn't get fixed anytime soon then I demand a full refund. It should have nver been fully released at this stage.

Dialogue is out of sync, lagging like hell, not more that 10 FPS, Resolution problems.

In short don't buy it. At least wait for a fix.

Ouch.

Anyone here bought the game? Similar experience?

EDIT:

Reading through the Steam discussions, apparently the game picks up your Integrated GPU instead of main GPU.
So if you have an Intel IGP, the game will use that instead of Nvidia or AMD GPU you have.
This is some different level of fail altogether.

Added the review screensot:

It's also floats at 20fps in consoles, from what I've read.

 

[Toki767]

Sucks to hear, but is anyone honestly really surprised?

 

[thekiddfran]

What is with Batman games on PC?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Steam rating is getting destroyed

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Sounds like Telltale. Playing Wolf Among us and it's great, but doesn't run particularly well, and navigation along with the cursor can be clunky at times.

 

[Nirolak]

That sounds like the average performance of a Telltale game on pretty much any platform.

 

[Broken Joystick]

LMAO

 

[DeathSparks]

It's Batman Arkham Knight all over again, why is it so hard to make a good port of a Batman game.

 

[The Lamonster]

Which system does this game (or Telltale games in general) perform best on?

I'd like to pick this up at some point.

 

[Seiniyta]

I mean, it's impressive they outdid Arkham Knight. Gotta hand it to them.

 

[wesleyshark]

Lol Batman's greatest enemy is PC

 

[GrantDaNasty]

That sounds like the average performance of a Telltale game on pretty much any platform.

Aaaaaand we're done here.

Try to build the most astronomically powerful system in existence.

 

[Kindekuma]

Oh no. Not another Arkham Knight situation...

 

[SuperBanana]

Fuck sake, Telltale.

 

[funkystudent]

Telltale Engine strikes again?

 

[gigantor21]

LMAO

Telltale = The Antichrist confirmed?

OT: A Telltale game running badly, huh. What are the odds?

 

[TemplaerDude]

What is this assumption that Jesus Christ would somehow be able to whip together a better build than myself?

 

[DieH@rd]

They should do what Dontnod has done for their episodic games. Stick with UE4 and be done with it.

 

[Jackpot]

Yep, that's a Telltale game.

 

[notaskwid]

Never change Telltale. People keep buying their games too.

[TP]

What a surprise
Keep buying them though

 

[Teletraan1]

A Telltale game that has problems. NEVER.

 

[NeOak]

That sounds like the average performance of a Telltale game on pretty much any platform.

.

 

[eloxx]

Why do they release the titles always in such a state? Where is QA for these games?

 

[-tetsuo-]

This is why I buy TT games when all episodes are out and a lot of effort has already been spent fixing them.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Maybe they'll finally be called out for their shit engine?

Lol nah.

 

[LongDongJunon]

TELLTALE DONT CARE

 

[Nibel]

You guys think these games run good on any devkit or PC at Telltale

 

[XaeonBE]

Haven't seen many issues with it watching a 720p stream of the game now...

Of course I don't have the game myself.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Holy shit LOL

 

[Weebos]

Is it just the PC port? I find that hard to believe.

Their games have never run well on console.

 

[kuYuri]

Isn't this their first game running in their new engine or something like that?

 

[JustinBB7]

Damn just bought it late last night. Arkham Knight ran great for me though on PC from the start, hope I get lucky again then..

 

[Warnen]

Frame rate kinda shit on xbox one as well, only played the 1st section so far

 

[Torgo]

It was unplayable on my system :-( Also, couldn't find a way to get it to use my Steelseries Stratus XL bluetooth controller, so I was stuck with Mouse/Keyboard controls, which is odd forthis style of game. Hoping for a patch.

sounds like telltale, honestly.

Instead of getting their tech better over time, they just keep getting worse.

 

[Stone Ocean]

That sounds like the average performance of a Telltale game on pretty much any platform.

You'd think people would have learned after the third time.

Apparently not.

 

[cyba89]

Playing it tonight or tomorrow to see for myself but I wouldn't put too much credit into Steam reviews a few hours after launch (or in general). On the PC there are always people who have issues and of course these are the first who give reviews.

I can at least say menu and XboxOne Controller worked perfectly fine for me.

 

[poodaddy]

What is with Batman games on PC?

This is what I'm sayin. The IP is fucking cursed on PC apparently. Shame really as Arkham Asylum and City were fantastic on PC.

 

[Justified]

So much for the upgraded and improved engine I guess

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Looks like I'll stick to my original plan of waiting for all the episodes to be release and buying it on Steam sale.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

They should do what Dontnod has done for their episodic games. Stick with UE4 and be done with it.

This is what I was thinking. Stick with at LEAST Unreal Engine 3 and just release games that at least perform at an acceptable level. I mean fuck, these games have - for all intents and purposes, no AI, no physics to speak of, are visually simple, poor animations and yet always have performance issues?

 

[mStudios]

How can they keep fucking up? xd

They should just use Unity or Unreal. Their in-house engine suck.

 

[OnionPowder]

I haven't played one of their games on PC since The Walking Dead Season 1 deleted my save, but I at least remember it running nice. I can't believe it's gotten worse since then.

Is it just the PC port? I find that hard to believe.

Their games have never run well on console.

Yeah, I played Tales from the Borderlands on Xbox One and got what really felt like a 0 FPS framedrop at certain points.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Never buy Telltale games at launch. Just never do it. Especially on PC.

You'll be able to get it for 66% or more off before the entire season is released, you'll know whether it's any good or not, and by then most of the glaring technical issues will be fixed. There will still be technical issues, of course, because Telltale is just not a very good developer in that area. Every single one of their games is a bit of a technical mess.

 

[-shadow-]

It's a Telltale game. What else is new?

Spoiler

 

[Burgess_101]

Batman cursed on PC seemingly.
