Is it Laziness , Incompetence , a Lack of giving a crap or All of the above?

How is Arkham Knight allowed to launch on PC in this state is beyond me , I didn't need to play for more than 2 hrs and I already requested a refund from Steam.

 

Ironically I preordered the CE of this game way back for PS4(5months ago).

 

I mean seriously , how badly optimized can a game get , Turning on the afterburner on the Batmobile drops 20 FRAMES. The same scene in-doors can fluctuate by 20 frames.

 

 

 

The game itself feels kinda meh but I'm more angry about how badly this game runs on GTX SLI 980s.

 

 

I just wonder if Developers just don't give a fuck about making their game run well on PC or are they just bad at their jobs.

I think this is why people prefer Consoles?

Yeah I've seen the reviews, they said a lot about optimization....

Ooh, okay I see, damn....

Well that is why pirating exists... You try out the game and if it is good you go buy it. Once we had demos for that but they do not exist anymore unfortunately. I am not saying you should pirate everything and buy nothing but just pirate just so that you try out the product and if it is good buy it. That is what I do any I am not ashamed. That is why I didn't blow my money on Unity because i found out it is shit and many other games. But I did buy many games after I tried them out and found out they were great. The same goes for music which I collect a LOT. I listen to pirated first and if I like it I order an album online

Think it will be fixed within a few weeks. Best to wait till then and purchase; that way you can enjoy it

That is no excuse!!....they can take more time if they need it instead of giving us crap games. Than you can say oh well it is hard to make an electric car to make long distances and just put in a battery that only lastss for 50 kilometers and say well we ll update in the future.....maybe....maybe not....maybe when we make a new car we will improve it to 51 kilometers.....get my point?

[Solkia]

I blame patches.

 

It used to be when you got a game, it was finished or it was a bad game. Now devs are all "lul patch it later idgaf"

 

I swear gaming gets more depressing each year.

Requested a refund, how could they ever release this performance turd, thank god that steam has changed its policy regarding refunds.

Except they managed to do it twice without issue. Arkham Asylum and City can run on integrated graphics if you want them to.

So waiting for Rocksteady to sue Valve for refunds and blame them

I actually got myself a refund , honestly I planned on buying the game twice , once on PC to while waiting for my PS4 CE to get shipped. But god damn the PC version is horrible.

 

I heard the PS4 Version is fine so I'll play that when it comes.

Bad port is a bad port. It's just annoying how often it happens.

Sigh , I seriously hope that Kojima Productions makes a good port for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

 

Not sure whether its good news or bad news but playing an hr of Arkham Knight before requesting my refund killed my desire to play the game.

 

I'm not hyped up and my PS4 edition is going to take 2 weeks to arrive.

MGSV port? I don't think that's gonna happen, unless it was already announced?

[kenjigreat]

Yep , a long time ago , I'm going to buy the game thrice, PS4 Edition while waiting for my PS4 Collector's Edition . PC version comes out 2 weeks later on 15 September.

Here's what i think happened... The game was probably build on PS4 or xbone, ran fine there and they finished it there. Then they went to the pc and tried that version on a PC... It probably ran friggin awesome... Then Nvidia probably told them there's no performance loss from gameworks and they just implemented it without testing and shipped the damn thing... and here we are with a crappy piece of shit that i don't want to play anymore.

 

I ordered the PS4 batmobile edition back in january, that got canceled and i changed my order to the CE. That got delayed and now i read all this crap. Sure the PS4 version is probably fine but still running on 30FPS. Which i don't want. I canceled the whole thing. If they want my money they're gonna have to do a better job of it. I'll maybe grab this piece of shit for 5 euros in some steam sale next year (won't even be 50% off in the holiday sale trust me). I'm gonna avoid gameworks like the fucking plague as well... they can seriously gtfo.

I'll still get the the PS4 CE because its already shipped and I'm too lazy to ship it back, but never again am I buying a PC game from WarnerBros and Rocksteady.

This is a good thing. The power of refunds should clearly speak our views in this matter. Hopefully they are listening.

are the problems with amd cards only or nvidia also?

Both NVIDIA and AMD. Read the steam user reviews.

And yet, so many developers have managed it just fine for a long, long time. Usually this is a symptom of a deadline from the higher-ups that was far too ambitious for the studio's resources.
