Playing through the superior PC version and loving it. 1440p, all settings max inc nVidia options and I'm averaging between 70-80fps.

The game has been patched into shape - looks and runs fantastic.

Game itself seems fucking awesome so far. Much much better than Arkham City.

Not like I've had nothing else to play in that time.

How does the PS4 version run after getting patched?

It may have taken over a year, but the number of people with something positive to say about Arkham Knight just hit double digits. Someone at Rocksteady must be pretty chuffed right now.

They deserve everything they got for the PC release, they clearly botched it which is why I waited!

Now it looks and runs nicely and cost me $15.

Patience has paid off. How's the PS4 version going now with the post-release patches?

Seems Candy isn't enjoying the stuttering framerate of Arkham Knight and went back to the weakest in the series, Origins. Looks like the 360 version as well. ;)

Yep it stutters between 65-85fps on my Gsync monitor.

Terrible experience :lol:

Was looking at the graphical difference between the two games...on PC.

360 has been packed up since SF5 was released so no idea what's happening there.

If I fired up a PC-only game like Total Warhammer I wonder if it would do the same thing?

There is a minor frame skip that occurs yes in the overall fps range of 65-85fps and it's only in the batmobile, on foot the game is very smooth and looks amazing maxed out at 1440p.

T0mby is smoking crack if he thinks 30fps with frame drops below 30 on consoles is a better experience. :lol:

The only skip I've noticed is when driving past the AR Challenge locations. Other than that all good.

Brilliant game. Would be better at a lower resolution and half the framerate...of course.

I've never thought that at all. Sometimes you guys just make up stuff in your heads!

This game is brilliant - worth the wait of the game itself after Arkham City and worth the wait for the PC version to stop being a train wreck.

The way they've evolved all aspects of the gameplay...then you add it to what so far seems like really good storytelling even for the side quests....just fucking awesome.

It's like playing Arkham Asylum for the first time again where you're just blown away by everything. Perhaps this the rebound effect because I thought Arkham City was grossly inferior to Asylum...

I'll be wrapping this game up today and I've loved it so far literally from the start. Best Batman game by a mile. Once I finish I'm going straight to Arkham Origins to re-start it and complete it.

The Batman love is strong around these parts.

I need to play Arkham Asylum again, I only made it up to the first outdoor area before putting it in my backlog. I did finish City though, enjoyed that.

I guess we should be happy that PC gamers finally got the cold pizza delivered..
But it encourages other developers to release unfinished stuff. They got away with sloppy initial release which is why console is appealing in the first place because they have to make sure it works out of the box. (console gamers have higher standards) In the old days, that was the appeal. It's sad that consoles are slowly becoming like pc games now where there isn't guarantee it's going to be ok day 1.

The aliens will be here to invade our minds soon and teach us to obey them. So I guess it doesn't matter.. All those not wearing the foil to protect themselves against the mind control are doomed along with PC.
