    Worsted PC port ever!!! GTA IV was better optymized. Horrible framerate drops. 30fps cap. - Iron Galaxy with 12 people should give back money all players!

    This is what happens when you release a bad port, you get all of this hate. A 30fps cap and cant even work on a top tier system is just rediculous. This game needs to be fixed.

    Wow where to even begin with this title.

    First off the graphics. They are awful. The PC version is a simple dreadful console port that seems to lack ambient occlusion, and enabling any of the Nvidia game workshop features will either crash the game outright or cause it to run at ~4-10FPS.

    First off the graphics. They are awful. The PC version is a simple dreadful console port that seems to lack ambient occlusion, and enabling any of the Nvidia game workshop features will either crash the game outright or cause it to run at ~4-10FPS.

    Secondly the frame rate. The game is based off the recent unreal engine and runs like crysis 4 on a blender regardless of the settings. Something is seriously amiss with the engine and even users that have the best rigs money can buy are reporting stuttering, frame rate drops, and horrible performance. I can barely average 20 FPS with a 5.0ghz CPU and a gtx 780 with 16 gigs of ram. This is WITH Nvidias recent drivers.

    Lastly the gameplay. It's hard to tell if this game is a masterpiece or a dud because the suttering and crashing problems reduce it to some kind of frustrating slide show. I think there may be genius in the title but I would STRONGLY recommend against purchasing this game before rocksteady a) publicly apologizes and b) releases at least 2-3 patches.

    Sadly I bought off GMG instead of steam or I would have already joined the thousands of overs seeking refunds.

    Scored at 0 for being literally unplayable in its RELEASE state, and those of you defending this company by saying "this is the new standard" can go get dicked because that attitude is EXACTLY why game companies feel they can get away with this kind of practice.    … Expand

    The fact that this game is missing key features that the less powerful PS4 version and that the game has terrible performance and is locked at 30fps is a clear sign that Rocksteady doesn't care about the PC version. I will definitely not be buying it or any future Warner Bros games.

    After the bugged and broken Arkham Origins I was ready to right this series off as a loss. It was a cash grab that WB handed off to a studio that had zero experience with the series. Beyond the PC only game breaking bugs the combat and stealth mechanics were broken for all platforms.

    But then Rocksteady and WB drop the bomb that this entire time, ever since Arkham City, they've been working on the real game Arkham Knight. No involvement by WB Montreal or Splash Games who ruined Origins. After delaying the game by more than 6 months its finally released and completely unplayable.

    Now my issues are not graphics related. Which is surprising since I only have a 2600K and a 670. All the prerendered stuff lags like crazy like it does for a lot of people, but I have zero lag or framerate issues during actual game play. What makes it unplayable for me is the stupid camera positioning. I've tried playing with the Camera Assist option both on and off and no matter what setting I use the camera keeps adjusting itself to default directly overhead.

    Gliding, walking, driving, all are borderline impossible because I can never see anything in front of me. Even standing still, talking to someone via the holo thing in my gauntlet, I'll put the camera behind me so I can see the person I'm talking to, and it will just swing itself back over the top of my head.    … Expand

    Fourth - There are serious optimization issues plaguing the game, framerates are all over the place, even after you uncap the FPS, it still runs horribly
    Fifth - Textures will randomly go from high to low to high on people, enemies.
    Sixth - Disabling Motion blur through the system INI will BREAK detective mode, you will not be able to see people
    Seventh - The texture quality is better on the consoles than the PC version.

    What's really egregious about this is that Rocksteady didn't even develop the PC version. They outsourced it to some third party composed of 12 PEOPLE. God knows, they did a horrible and shoddy job at this port. Warner Bros even had the audacity to come out and say that 30 FPS is the best way to play this game.

    Really? REALLY? Are they that dense? This is 2015, not 1995. PCs are more than capable of handling this game, yet they did a shoddy job of optimizing it and try to mask it by telling us not to uncap the FPS.

    Batman Arkham Knight is such an awful game at launch. I experienced crashes, bugs, graphical problems and especially memory leaks, this game uses a very large amount of RAM.

    Highly unoptimized for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card and an Intel Core i7 930 Bloomfield quad-core CPU.

    First up when I installed the 5 discs it then decided that through steam it needed to download a further 20 GIGS worth of god knows what. It did this and upon loading - it crashed. I restarted and it crashed again. It continued to do this before finally loading.

    The gameplay is solid and feels like a normal batman game that we all love however it is horifically optimised. Cut scenes run at 60fps then in engine cutscenes at 31fps and gameplay locked at 31fps. It drops consistently for no apparent reason, though admitedly the lowest I have experienced so far is 27fps (despite the inbuilt PC benchmarking giving me a solid 60fps)

    For some reason the textures are only set at 'normal' and no option to go higher... Where are the 'ultimate' settings we were promised? And WHY am I forced to play at 30fps? If I wanted to play with muddy looking textures, low framerate and bad optimisation then I would have bought a console version. I am finding the fact that is is locked at 30fps and then dropping frames seriously disapointing considering my hardward. The rain effects are great but my gosh does it make the overall look of the game feel weird. Finally in one bright spot - the character models and animations are fantastic and some of the best I have ever seen.

    To put it simply - this is a complete and utter mess and I cannot for the life of me understand how this was released for PC in such a state.

However, the release date was pushed back for this game so I had high expectations. I at least expected the game would be playable, but honestly it isn't due to extremely slow frame rate. The slow frame rate occurs even if you have the latest graphics card drivers and above the minimum system requirements. It plays like the PC just can't handle the game. I managed to get through the beginning intro of the story and it was interesting. But when Batman glides, ti's incredibly slow. If you turn your gaze, the clear graphics become a bleary mess. Today there have been a few minor patches released. That has not improved the playing experience, at least not for me. Now I can't even play the game and it crashes. I am seriously annoyed. If i had a PS4 I would get a refund and buy it for that instead. But I don't so I'm hoping they fix it. I want the awesome game I was anticipating!… Expand

Rocksteady have lied, deceived and delivered a shambolic excuse of a game thanks to essentially offloading the product that people have invested heavily in, to a dreadful 3rd party company; Iron Galaxy.

    The game runs abysmally throughout with regular stutters in regards to framerate and audio on rigs that surpass even the recommended settings. The 30fps cap is a travesty for 2015 and even with framerate unlocked after modding the config file; the game still persistently wobbles. Visually, the game looks worse than the PS4 version which is beyond belief and the optimisation settings are virtually non-existent just to improve what is seemingly an old-gen title. The game even suggests to turn off many aspects to 'improve the performance' in the graphics menu which is ridiculous.

    Rocksteady's credibility has extinguished. It feels they couldn't even be bothered to make the PC version so they passed the buck onto a small and very weak company to do their dirty work. The fact people have bought the game with the season pass at a cost of £60 should demand the utmost care and attention but the 'developers' have given PC gamers the middle finger which is disgraceful behaviour and a complete disregard for an important market. Thank god Steam have the refund facility in place and Rocksteady will get their just-deserts in the end. Another AAA atrocity that isn't even worth holding onto for the patch. Despicable.    … Expand

    Well, the Batman game franchise has become a bloated cash-cow, risk free game design makes for a pretty predictable experience...if you are new to the series you may garner enjoyment from it, but for me the format has become too stale even with the Batmobile shoehorned into the proceedings. Batman is in dire need of a clean slate.

This is a prime example of why you must have a QA staff ready to put your game through a battery of tests to ensure that it works properly. Warner Bros. is a multi million dollar company. There is no excuse for this. They have the money, they just chose the lazy route of not testing their software before release. I've had a decent amount of faith in Warner Bros as a game publishing company over the years but this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me question whether or not I should invest in their products in the future. Also, the fact that they put more work into their console versions just annoys the crap out of me. I'm sorry to say, but PC gaming is rapidly becoming something people would rather invest in than console gaming because while we may have to wait a while on the PC side of things, at least, for the most part, we get the better version. This makes me kinda want to get a console just to play the less terrible version of this game, but I refuse to sell out to consoles just to play a game that should be ACTUALLY working on the system it was released on (PC in this case).

Would you happily sit and wait indefinitely while the cinema keep hold of your money?

    If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, then you're part of the problem, the problem of why the games industry release unfinished games and then, maybe, fix them.

    So here we are again, with Rocksteady handing off their BIGGEST IP to a studio utterly incapable of handling the work, resulting in a really bad port with performance problems, frequent crashes, terrible memory optimization, hard capped frames per second, texture bugs, and other issues. Rocksteady and WB have said they're aware of the problems and are supposedly working on getting them sorted but bear in mind they said similar things about the problems with Arkham Origins, most of which STILL exist.

    I'm just thankful it was a freebie for picking up a newer nVidia card. Had I paid for this by itself, I'd be absolutely livid. I honestly don't know why I expected better, most AAA devs could give less than a damn about PC gamers, as we've repeatedly seen this generation (Watch Dogs, Titanfall, DeadRising 3, Ryse, Assassin's Creed, and now Batman, just to name a few).    … Expand

    This is the exact same game as before. It is absolutely identical.
    At least Asylum had interesting level design, both City and Knight are just the exact same thing over and over again, what garbage.

    So basically Rocksteady has said that they aren't going to fix this game. I have a PC that exceeds the requirements and because of the horrible f*cking motion blur, my framerate is so awful that the game is pretty much unplayable! And if you try turning off the motion blur in the .ini files? The game crashes.

    burla de juego sin duda alguna, graficos buenos pero un rendimiento por demas pobre, mi pc/ intel i7-950 4x 3.2ghz, 12gb ram y una placa de video xfx amd 280x de 3gb, con esto witcher 3 en ultra me da 45-55 frames, en este batman me da 25 maximo con tirones de hasta 9 fps, injugable, port malisimo. les voy a pedir a torrentspy mi tiempo perdido bajando 35 gb, insulto total.

    I don't understand how they could possibly port it this horribly. I have a 980 and I get 35-60 fps on lowest settings. Very disappointed, worse than unity.

    The final game of the epic series is probably right up there with one of the worst ports in the history of gaming, simply atrocious.

If that doesn't piss you off, well get this, that studios is made up of 12 people...that's right...12...more than 11...less than 13! They gave this monumental task of making the game on PC to 12 amatuer developers with a horrible track record.

    I really don't know what to say. This is the last game I am gonna buy from WB and Rocksteady broke my trust. Not long ago I used to compare them with the greatest developers out there.

    I'm reviewing game at it's current state: 0 - I can't play it. I don't think I've ever given a game a 0 before, and I'm usually pretty lenient on the game developers because it's not easy. I'm really bummed after being very excited for long time about this game. I've played Asylum and City on the PS3, then took a chance on Origins for PC.. and you know what it ran great!

I'm really bummed after being very excited for long time about this game. I've played Asylum and City on the PS3, then took a chance on Origins for PC.. and you know what it ran great! So, I cancelled my PS4 pre-order and bought the complete PC title assuming it would also work well. It doesn't.. you've heard all the details so I'll just say that my system is probably mid-range, i5 2500k overclocked, gtx 680 2gb + 8GB ram.. I can't play it at 720p on all low/off.. it just is too slow and stops and stutters to be playable. It's pretty obvious there was a big deception going on with the Nvidia videos showing great gameplay at high frames, and no one obviously thinking that the PC version was AAA quality at this rate, so they pulled a fast one and delivered a poor product. Hopefully in a few months it will be playable.. until then if you want it get it on a console but I don't advise anyone to buy it on PC.. Disappointed. Zero.… Expand

    What a garbage port. I got this for free for buying an Nvidia GTX 970 and very much looked forward to playing it as I greatly enjoyed the first two games. However, it is unplayable on my pc. 30fps is not acceptable for games anymore, and it won't work on anything higher. I wish I could get a refund on part of my GTX 970 purchase due to the game being awful.

    Wost PC port I've ever seen. Thank god for the Steam refunds. 30fps cap which can be turned off outside of the game but causes the game to run even worse than before. It's not acceptable to release games like this, especially a AAA game. Don't go near it.

    Playing as Batman? Awesome. Playing as Batman through repetitive, empty missions? Less awesome. Playing as the Batmobile? Awful.

    Porting issues aside, Batman: Arkham Knight is a decent enough game. It's not the spectacular swansong we hoped for from Rocksteady, but it's another solid - if predictable - slice of Arkham gameplay, with a couple of great sections along the way.

    An entertaining superhero power fantasy, let down by awful Batmobile combat, a laughable villain, and serious performance issues.
