Batman : Arkham Knight

Just wow...3-4 months to fix the PC issues. Talk about dropping the ball. It's like they got it to start up and said 'bleep it' we'll fix it later
 
While I don't care for the over-reliance on the Batmobile nor the fact that the majority of the "boss fights" were IN the Batmobile, there were some cool things you could do with it.
When I was taking down the Militia checkpoints and watchtowers, on some of them, I found it easier to lure them near the edge and pick them off the the Batmobile's beanbag gun (or whatever it's less than lethal rounds are).
On some of them, I'd ramp the batmobile in and just drive over everyone. Usually, that was a last ditch effort after they had me completely pissed off.

That is, I expect, exactly what happened. They outsourced to a company that couldn't handle it, the QA folks warned them, and they said "Screw it. We need to meet our ship date. We'll fix it after release with the money we make from initial sales." And if it hadn't been for Steam's refund policy, they probably would've gotten away with it, too. Well, Steam and the awful, awful press they got.

Make no mistake WB/Rocksteady screwed the consumers on this and did so knowingly. They purposely did NOT release PC versions for reviews (because they would've been incinerated by the review companies, even the ones who are "friendly" to them), and only released PS4 versions. They probably figured the good PS4 reviews would overshadow any poor performance on other systems, and they could buy time for the other platforms, all at the consumer's expense. They knew what they were selling, and they didn't care that it was a lemon.
 
Hey guys! New to the site and just wanted to toss in my two cents. I played on PS4, got it on release and finished the first story line within a week. I looooved it. It was my favorite out of all the Batman games. I do feel bad for the PC gamers, but it was gorgeous on my PS4 and I cant complain... Loved it so much ill be cosplaying Christina Bell, the female "joker" from the game. She only had a small part but I loved her. Plan on rocking her all 3 days of Salt Lake Gaming Con.




 
I'm playing the Panessa Studios mission right now and was just thinking about someone potentially cosplaying this character, funny to open this thread and get my answer. It'll be interesting to see if anyone does Johnny Charisma and Albert King too. I thought the Jokers were a pretty cool addition to the game.
