Pole of Mars posted:I get this message when I try to redeem my Nuveem key. I sent Nuveem support a message about it already but I wanted to see if others got that problem as well. That's probably because it's the Harley Quinn DLC code. I got the same thing from GMG because they put the DLC code above/before the main game code but didn't label either of them. Just put in the other code you should have been sent and it'll all be fine.

I've been replaying Origins to refresh my combat timing and you know what, after a year or so away from it, the bugs and the vitriol of 'not the joker again' syndrome, it's not actually that bad. In fact as far as story goes it's downright enjoyable. I'm not being deliberately led from place to place by the joker, the enemies aren't stumbling over themselves to find reasons for you to fight them and Batman has the right level of Rage for my liking. Like, i've noticed that so far, right up to the Joker reveal, I've done nothing but follow clues/leads and deduce the crime in front of me. Batman's even quoted "i dont have time for this poo poo" once or twice like he's actively aware that the interruptions to his main task are getting loving tedious.

I don't even have an option for high textures with a 970 and i don't see anything about AA in there at all (well there is, but it's just on or off).

Wow, where's the last hour and a half gone. Other than the odd stutter (the initial batmobile intro brought the game to a stutter) it's been pretty smooth on a 970 with all the ingame settings to max. It looks amazing, so i'm not sure how much more amazing it could look with whatever settings are in the ini file. Edit: The first race sucks balls though. Basically not fun and it was way too easy to fall off the track, but i dont like racing games so that might be jading my opinion. Also, it kinda feels too open if that's a thing. Like i'm sure i'll familiarise myself with the environment eventually but i'm wondering if it'll be like GTA5 where it was too vast for me to recognise bits i'd been to unless i went back to them a whole bunch of times.

I've no idea what's up with all of you on PC with issues. Mine loaded and runs flawlessly. In fact the only issue i had was when i went in and tried to change the ini file from 30fps to 60 then the game wouldn't load. What rigs are you all on because it's undoubtedly your setup.

ImpAtom posted:I like how one of the features in the new Batsuit is "it can shoot you like a railgun when you leave your car." That's a feature, not a bug, Mr Wayne, I swear. Totally intentional. After playing with the Batmobile for a while i really think i'm starting to get what they meant by it being a part of your suit. It's akin to pushing a button and having wheels sprout from your arms or something. I'm also digging just how much content there is in the game. The sheer number of upgrades (not locked behind poorly thought out challenges) and activities is pretty cool and I've not even touched any Riddler trophy equivalent stuff yet. Also the story is a lot more compelling than the previous ones. I'm at the point where I'm trying to rescue Oracle and then Riddler reveals he's got Catwoman and want's me to dance to his song to stop him from killing her and i'm kinda torn as to which plot point to pursue first. Like i know there aren't multiple consequences or whatever but the story has made me feel like i should really prioritize one over the other. Oh and, everyone should explore the GCPD when they get there at the beginning. I found 2 semi hidden interactive things. One in the evidence room and another in the cells on your way out There's also a Jack Ryder thing but that's not really hidden. Kin fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Crappy Jack posted:Also you couldn't unlock all the fast travel points originally, because one of them was in a room that you couldn't enter. You could open the vent to enter, but the game didn't recognize it as a grappel point, so you just couldn't get to the room you needed to get to. That one was bugged piracy protection. Edit: oh man, the team up combat sections of the game are brilliant. I'm not sure if it would work with 2 people but the ai seems to handle itself ok and the swapping/combo moves are amazingly seamless. Kin fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Spiritus Nox posted:So, PC fans, is it as bad as advertised? I've heard reports ranging from "sluggish, but okay" to "completely broken" and I'm not sure what to expect from my year old PC and GTX 770. From what i've read, folks with a 900 series card will find that the game runs pretty smooth (once you turn off this new interactive fog feature from Nvidea). Less than that then it's like rolling a dice and if you're on the 600 series then your expectations were way too high for what you card could do. edit: Also, irrespective of the ability to run the game, it seems like the PC version is missing some extra graphical bells and whistles that give the PS4 version a little bit more pop. Not sure if that's something that can be patched in or not (nor why it's missing in the first place). Maybe it's the fear gas but i was wondering if a publisher would ever think of holding back graphical abilities on one platform kinda like a timed exclusive (aka DLC). Dead souls 2 had some DX11 version come out right (i never played it, just read a few outraged posts about it)? It wouldn't surprise me if publishers had graphical options up there on their list of things to carve up and sell off as "extras". Want that high res texture pack? That'll be £0.99 please. Ambient occlusion? another £2.00. Kin fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Jun 24, 2015 |

Chello De Don posted:Does anyone have any idea why the game crashes on start? I have a 970, an fx-8350 and 16 gigs of ram. Windows 7 64-bit. I have all the Nvidia drivers up to date and I was even able to verify the cache for the game files. I'm kind of at a loss at this point on what to do besides maybe wait for a patch. Anyone have any suggestions? Have you tweaked the ini? Do you have anything else running? Your fx-8350 and an additional 8GB of RAM are the only different things between your rig and mine and i doubt it's the RAM. Is it at a particular point, i.e. does it crash during the logos, or is it after the logos when it loads the first graphics during the menus?

ImpAtom posted:The combat and predator gameplay, at least as far as I am, has a lot of fundamental improvements over City and combat in particular is a ton of fun. Yeah, the combat by far and large has been vastly improved. From little tweaks such as letting you do silent takedowns when being in the general vicinity of an enemy (rather than having to be in very fixed positions), to the sheer variety of combos moves you can now do between enemies, it all just adds up to and almost liquid fluidity. Which is pretty impressive for a system that was already as smooth as it was. Plus there's new enemy types that aren't just a rehash of old ones who actually mix up the combat quite a bit.

So what are the telltale signs for the watchtowers you have to take out? I flew around the first island looking for the obvious thing (aka, big fuckoff tower), but couldn't spot anything. I did take out all the drones though. I do like how slowly dismantling Arkham Knight's entire army is broken up into a series of "collectathon" style tasks. It really does feel like i'm cleaning out the city. I've not really seen any impact on taking out the APC's or the one road checkpoint i cleared yet though. And the road mines seem to have no immediate impact on the situational environment, they're just there for you to safely detonate because of reasons it seems. Mr. Fortitude posted:A friend of mine preordered the game, he has an i7 4790k, GTX 980, an SSD and 16 Gb of RAM. GeForce Experience is telling him to run the game with everything on the lowest possible settings at 1360x768. I've found his problem. Never listen to geforce experience.

The only issue I've had with the batmobile is that it has poo poo traction and because of that and the tight chase sequences, sometimes it's hard to follow a badguy down a sharp turn you don't know he's going to make. The level of hyperbole in here is nuts. Edit: hell, "bouncing off walls"? The problem with mine is that i go through them.

Some dumb idiot posted:I always just keep swapping between the "Normal" mode and Combat mode whenever I'm having to steer the batmobile around and I never really have that much trouble with it, heck it's like the first car I've used in a open world video game that can literally turn on a dime and then rocket away in the other direction. I used to do that but found that it made the chase sequences just as difficult cos it slowed you down too much.

Some dumb idiot posted:You can also still use the dodge move to jump left and right a short distance in the normal mode too which I also find is handy in correcting any gently caress ups involving oversteer. Dont get me wrong, it's not that bad, it just feels a little floaty for the type of car it allegedly is. Generally, it handles just fine and it's surprising how quickly you can get around with it.

MinibarMatchman posted:is there a list anywhere that possibly tells which riddler poo poo unlocks what? if they apparently unlock worthwhile stuff like combat maps then it would save me the time of tackling horrid poo poo like races for no reason So far there have only been 2 races and i'm almost done with Riddler's "crazy underground poo poo". So the vitriol people have for the races is insane, especially as when it comes to the challenge map, it seems like you only have to do one lap under a certain time.

ImpAtom posted:No, even then they're a minor annoyance. They seriously take about 5 minutes tops and are some of the simplest racing in a game ever. (They're based more around swapping blocks than proper racing.) The annoying gimmicks in Arkham City where you have to pull Batman along on a raft are more time consuming. Yeah, like the first one was maybe a little tricky because i was still getting used to the batmobile's handling, but the second one was pretty easy and i had an absurd amount of time remaining. Then i went back and did the challenge map for the first one and got the 3 stars on my second or third try. It's easy, people are being hyperbolic idiots. Aquasnake posted:I hope this gets patched immediately. Who's idea was it to remove 1000's of hours of replayability. That has been in the series unchanged since arkham asylum. Case in point. You can control all the characters at various points in single player (for combat sequences), i've come across riddler trophies out in the city that infer i need to control a character that's currently locked away in a building. I get the feeling that once you've beaten the game you'll be able to swap characters for challenges. Kin fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jun 24, 2015 |

Basebf555 posted:Is that really true? I unlocked a combat challenge last night and I assumed there'd be a bunch more to unlock. They've always been unlockable, never available right from the start. It seems like you unlock some as you progress through the story. There are a lot of predator sections in the campaign, they're just blended superbly with the open world. I can't help but feel that all of these types of complaints are coming from people who have barely played the game.

Under the bridge in founder's island. You need to plan the poo poo out of that and upgrade your stun move thing for the turrets so that you can nail the timing. You have to take out a guard silently, then then jump out, then back in to take the central turret before the outside one you paused comes back online. Alternatively use the batmobile.

Another one I've not seen mentioned is that there's a particular gadget in the old Cinema. It's not really hidden or anything but you'll not notice it's there unless you explore (i didn't get any notifications to look for it). Also, dual predator mode loving rocks. The more i play these co-op sections the more i think they could work pretty well with a human partner (as long as you don't get penalised for whiffing in combat).

So, without spoiling anything, is there a reason why (I'm spoilering just in case it tips people off) i can't see through my bat chums when i detective mode them? Also, i hear whispers when i'm in detective mode. It feels somewhat hinty at plot stuff.
