just a heads up: The game got pushed to Nov. 25th for the PC. More time to play Skyrim and BF3 I guess.

Did they give any reason why?

they probably decided the game wasn't running poorly enough on pc, so they needed the extra time to add in more bloatware. this way they can act offended and claim that pc gamers aren't a significant portion of their customers anyway when people complain about how shitty the port is, and probably not release their next game on pc at all.

it worked for rockstar, you know?

They came crawling back, though.

They always do.

*headdesk*

Son of a bitch.

Well...That's not good.

Hmm, actually the first Batman was a pretty good port.

None I heard of ... probably marketing reasons to push more people in getting the console version and/or getting out of the way of Skyrim.

Damn it.

I really don't understand why they care, just put out the PC version, chances are it's going to be fucked up anyway.

OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS RUINED 
 
HOW CAN THE DEVELOPERS DO THIS TO US

Unlikely. The first one was a near perfect port. Can't see why that would change here.

Steam says 22nd.

Probably because they want to squeeze as much cash as they can from the console versions before they put it out on PC and take a hit from piracy.

I just bought a graphics card that comes with a copy of Arkham City for the PC; what the fuck?

As much as it sucks for some, it's fine for me. More time for Skyrim.

Yeah, because it's not like there's rampant piracy on the Xbox 360, right? Try harder.

I wonder if they'll just push it back to next year. A 2011 release date means I won't be playing it at all because of Skyrim.

Meh. It had better look excellent, I've waited long enough.

I BLAME MICROSOFT!

I'll still be playing Skyward Sword at that point. Maybe I'll pick it up late December or just wait til next year.

I wish Batman and Assassin's Creed and Saints Row 3 would all be pushed to next year. Too many games and I don't have any more money.

gotta remember that when Warner decides to launch their own digital distribution platform because people seem to forget how EA treated PC gamers.

Guess I'll be playing Jurassic Park

I BLAME MICROSOFT!

are you sure it comes in the box and is not just a download voucher?

This is not the way you should look at it. A better way would be to think that next year, by the time you are ready for these games, they will most likely be on sale.

No, no this is clearly down to the dastardly machinations of Origin!

But seriously its on GFWL which is already shit and now it gets pushed back. Fuck this.

Rocksteady and Warner Bros. can suck my balls. I'm fucking tired of the way they are treating us PC players. And they still refuse to give a reason for all this nonesense.

Fuck them.

Wait, people are just noticing what happened three days ago?

Hopefully it will be as good as a port as the first one was.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Lame

but hey i bet it has nothing to do with GFWL

They're adding in a new chapter exclusive to the PC version.

Welp, that's a HUGE bummer. What the hell are they thinking?

Or rather, AARRGHLAGHBLAAARGH!

yup yup, more time for battlefield 3 thou.. good for me.

At this point I think I'm cancelling that pre-order I'm gonna wait for it to be cheap.

I blame Bradley Shoemocker.

Probably would be sooner if it wasn't using Shit for Windows Live.

Ah, maybe that's how they're doing it these days. That would explain things nicely.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying that it's easier to pirate on a PC then on a Xbox 360 or any console.

@alternate: It's only a voucher, most likely for Steam.

Agreed. It is for that reason I'm waiting it out.

I'm in the same boat with a card for a code for the game just sitting at my PC mocking me.
