If you're getting a console version, you should be getting it from Best Buy with the Gamer's Club Unlocked deal that gets you 20% off new games. Makes paying more for DLC a little easier to swallow.

I'm bad at understanding how my specs match up against the recommended ones. could someone give me the rundown on how my system stacks up? MINIMUM: Processor: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 | AMD Radeon HD 7870 - 2 GB Memory Minimum RECOMMENDED: Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - 3 GB Memory Recommended My specs: Processor: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Graphics: Asus Radeon R9 270X - 4GB Will I be able to run it fine? Will I have to turn down the graphical settings? Or will my computer just explode?

Your processor should be fine. A 4th generation i5 should be a good stand-in for a 3rd generation i7. I can't comment on the graphics card.

That's asking quite a lot for a 40 bucks. I'll probably still get the base game but I'd at least wait 3 or 4 months in to see what they actually deliver to see if it's worth it. The description is so vague. At least 25$ with The Witcher 3 ensures both a 10 and 20 hour add-on. I know CDPR will add more stuff because they had been doing quite a bit of it for free. Rocksteady/WB not so much, with just characters on challenge maps.

I won't be able to get it at midnight since the mall will be closed but I'm not asking for time off to play it anyway so I wasn't going to be able to play it at midnight with my steam version either.

I really wanted to pre-order this digitally on my console, but gently caress losing out on the Harley / other pre-order DLC.

I would have pre-purchased on PC but at this point I think that would necessitate buying a new PC which I'm just not in the market for right now. I say as I plan on buying a PS3/4 capture device. I've done LPs for Asylum-Origins right now, it'd be rude not to do Knight after I get a good handle on it. My PC's having issues recording Origins so I think I'm hitting its end point.

The news item I saw about the DLC mentioned "legendary batmobile skins." That's got the me very close to considering the $100 version.

My ideal list - The Tumbler 89 Keaton-mobile Adam West-mobile Animated series Norm Breyfogle's high tech 80's mobile Killing Joke Batface on the front EDIT - Now that I think about it, where it says a skin as opposed to a new model, would the really long models like BTAS and 89 be possible?

They showed the Batmobile skins, or at least a few of them. They're just texture swaps, the model still looks the same, you're not gonna be riding around in a 60's Batmobile, just an Arkham Batmobile with Red and Black coloring.

Not buying anything until they do a GOTY edition or whatever but I just got an email from Nuuvem and the base-game pre-order is $27.22 over there. So if you pre-ordered on Steam, just cancel and get it from Nuuvem. Didn't look to see if they have the SP available but that'll likely be cheaper when it hits their store too. And before anyone asks, yes, Nuuvem is legit. EDIT: And to pre-emptively help anyone out that's never used Nuuvem before, you'll want to use a Chrome plug-in called Hola Better Internet and set your region to Argentina.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brlhs9c9P2M Here's a video breaking down the new trailer. Catwoman seems to be wearing a Riddler collar. I... sincerely hope this doesn't lead to the kind of unfortunate dialogue I'm imagining.

I bet it's just an early unlock, so you start off with that ability instead of having to spend XP to unlock it.

Oh sorry I missed a word. It's multiple Batarangs in flight. I'd still rather take the GameStop bonus and play as another character (Red Hood).

Considering the DLC for Arkham City was the forgettable Harley Quinn's Revenge along with some challenge maps and costumes, I would wait before buying the season pass for Arkham Knight. An added $40 is a lot if it's going to be the same level of content.

I can't find a listing for the American prices, but there's apparently a Premium Edition of the game that bundles it with the season pass. The Season Pass alone is £32.99, while the Premium Edition is £87.98 for console, and £67.98 for PC. That's a pretty significant price difference on PC, hopefully the same will be true in the US. Edit: Checked on Steam and the Premium Edition is already up, going for the same $99.99 price as the consoles. So instead of buying the game and the pass individually for a combined total of $99.98, you can instead buy a bundle of them together for... $99.99. What the gently caress is even the point.

What was so bad about Catwoman in Arkham City? I admit I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the plot/dialogue (both pretty bad iirc, but that's par the course for games), but nothing stood out as being especially offensive.
