Developer Rocksteady's return to the Batman series takes place one year after the events of Arkham City. It expands the open world from the previous game and allows players to finally drive the Batmobile throughout Gotham City's streets.
@jsnyder82: This has been the craziest game launch I've witnessed. Like you said, it is 2015. I can't believe this was allowed to happen.
Oh, also something really funny about the PC version now. When the splash screen loads up, the speed limit sign now says "60" instead of "30." Someone posted that on reddit and I found it amusing.
To be fair, my brother got Arkham Knight with his graphics card and he actually finished the game on PC a week or two after release. I would have waited for the PC release (and then a Steam sale), but I had a shiny new Xbox One and wanted something to play on it that I couldn't play on PC (and it seems like buying it even now is a risk). Given all of the hullabaloo surrounding the PC release of this game, I probably won't even touch it at all until it goes on sale for $5.00 on Steam.
Oh I don't blame you. I only got it on PC because the price was discounted (not the 40% the weekend before release, few months prior to that). I have a 3 year old card and it ran like shit the first day, but then I downloaded those drivers AMD released and the game was totally playable for me. Occasional dips in frame rate, but nothing really holding me back from playing it. Didn't particularly enjoy the game, but that's a different story.
The whole experience has really made me weary of PC games and pre-ordering. Yes, I know you'll always run this risk when buying a game before it's actually released, but I just like to have the game downloaded and ready to go for 9pm (PST) the night before official release. Really holding out hope that Fallout 4 performs well on the lower end spectrum.
@wacomole: I saw that. Granted, I haven't played all that much since the patch and all I did was some flying and driving around Gotham. I'm getting low framerates (40-ish) but I don't get any gigantic frame drops and stuttering all over the place like I did on release. If I lock it at 30, it doesn't seem to go bellow that.
I'm also using a GTX 770 and a i7 920 OC'ed at 3.2 GHz.
