    They had ONE job, ONE, just ONE. Don't F this up, and they F-ed it up. Runs worse than WD and ACU combined. It's a half-ass job done for PC just so they won't cry that they didn't get PC version, well guess what. You can shove it up yours.

    I generally hate the idea of giving games 0's or 10's, especially for reasons outside of the game itself. But I think the PC user rating should stand as it is, the consoles ratings and critic reviews can tell you how good the actual game is. The PC port should be refunded by all who can.

I was starting to think AAA broken releases was just a hot topic, and not as big of an issue as people make it out to be. I was wrong. This is getting ridiculous, and we need to vote with our wallets. Pulling a third of their sales should wake them up. Rocksteady decided to push the responsibility of the entire PC version to a third party. And that was a huge mistake. There is no way that any QA team played this game and thought it was fit for release. That means they intentionally took money from PC fans knowing full well they would be selling them an unplayable product. It's a shame...… Expand

    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

    This is intended not as a genuine review, but as a message to the developers. We, PC gamers, are sick and tired of your never ending console porting **** You, Rocksteady, have no excuse. You pushed the game's release back for about 4 months, and this is not your first game. Arkham City had the exact same issues. You didn't learn squat. And that is why we are all getting refunds.

I went straight to the Benchmark and "Maxed" everything out which was funny as there are no Ultra settings and only minimal changes can be made. I've never seen a game where dialing down the settling made the FPS worse but Heyho. I managed an average of 46 FPS at 1080P with AA and V-Sync on running:

    i7 4770 3.4, GTX 970, 16 GB Ram and installed on an SSD. Maybe I was better off due to the SSD. I cap my FPS at 60 anyway cos I'm using a Sony TV (don't hate me) I never got lower than 30 fps on the BM. I don't know where this thing about capping at 30 fps is coming from. I could have got about 52 without Volumetric Smoke but screw that its the best feature.

    Anyway I fired up the game and the real world playtest went ok, yep just Ok. Textures look low quality and some movement stutters and its a real shame. Had high hopes for this. Regretting buying on PC even with the low cost as the PS4 version is probably better optimised. I thought PC users deserve better and can't understand why this was so poorly put together, WB/R* changing the minimum AMD GPU the night before release says it all. They knew there was a problem. Mines playable but I might come back to this after a few patches. Shame on you R*.    … Expand

I guess it never dawned on them until the night before release to actually test their requirements before selling it.

    According to polygon this game is the reason why steam refunds are necessary and I am in 100% agreement; with steam as it was previously, it was easy for companies from the little indies up to the AAA titans to take advantage of PC gamers. We purchase our games and if they aren't what they were stated to be we are usually forced to eat the cost because even getting "store credit" could take months if we even get credit at all. So they churn out whatever garbage they want and as long as the promo videos look good people will pre-order and buy games to find them either unplayable, or playable if you jump through flaming circus hoops. I know a lot of people have already requested refunds and I believe this game may be the shining example to other companies doing the same thing. We now have a right to return your defective product and if you want our money try making something that runs.    … Expand

    Ports like this are not acceptable any longer on pc, pc gaming has grown large enough that developers having QC on games is mandatory. WB apparently gave the pc port job to an external source, a 12 man team who never worked on a pc game(only console and ios).

    Was cutting this small cost worth it? Thanks to steam refunds, I expect a massive people refunded this atrocity. There is no excuse WB and rocksteady, you delayed the game multiple times for this?    … Expand

    game runs very bad, lots of hiccups, stuttering, textures pop in, low res textures, DENUVO, wait another month or two, maybe this game will be fixed, from my experience, main reasons of bad performance:

    - streaming textures system

    - denuvo (confirmed by devs from LotF that its consuming 5-10% CPU power)

    - Iron Galaxy (12 people did this port?? rly?? u can see their names in the credits)

    This game is a shining example of cancer on PC gaming. Whoever came up with the idea of cutting down the graphic options, locking the FPS at 30 and letting this game out in its current state is a disgrace for game developers. The technical wreck that it is right now its just an insult to anyone who preordered it. At this stage- the game is a piece of garbage.

    What all the other reviews didn't tell you was that Rocksteady outsourced the PC version of this game to a highly skilled team of chimps from the local zoo. Poor textures, graphics and framerates are the order of the day...a complete stuttering mess on a Titan X at 1440p.

    When will a game release that is playable on PC ? I run the Witcher 3 at 4k with a 970 SLI Setup at 50FPS. I cannot even maintain 30fps at 1080p on this crap port.

    To all game developers that keep making awful pc ports... If you are not going to do the game justice and release a playable PC version just do us all a favour and DON'T BOTHER.

    To all the HATERS saying these reviews are unfair don't you think that a game should at least run on day 1 release ?    … Expand

    30 FPS cap on PC. Dreadful performance. Request refund.
    This is so disappointing to see Batman game in this state. You can't enjoy the game that run this way. I feel like someone spat in my face or made terrible joke. The level of disrespect for consumers is outrageous. No money from my wallet.

    Garbage PC port, pure laziness from the developers. We've had 2 good games before this and now what do we get? A game locked to 30 fps in 2015 with some of the worst performance since AC:Unity to boot. Skip this until it gets fixed, if not its a definite no-buy

    A very fun game no dout. As for the 30 fps thing its easy to uncap it, its the equivalent of someone crying because dinner is on the table and they dont want to walk to it.

    Graphics- very pretty and the physx fx are increadible. Does have some framerate hickups outside on a 980 but its not much. Sound- Very crisp and clear, all the soudns hold weight and punch.

    This is pretty much an equivalent of AC Unity. The port is utter garbage.

    Locked at 30 fps but still manages to stutter, insane amount of pop in regardless of graphical fidelity, nvidia game works straight out breaks the game even on an nvida card. I cant even imagine how bad it must be for AMD users.

    DO NOT purchase until the game is fixed, they dont deserve your money.

    I find it amusing that I can run The Witcher 3 on high on a stable 60 FPS but cannot get over 20 FPS in this game. And in the few areas where I can actually get good frames, it is capped at 30.

    I've seen my share of bad console-ports, but this is a huge insult to PC gamers.

    Very disappointing from Rocksteady. I was skeptical about this game after the problems that plagued Batman Origin but figured that was a different dev so give them the benefit of the doubt... unfortunately this is one of the lazier PC ports we've seen recently. The perf problems are even worse than I had with Origins, frame rate is locked to 30 either way, DLC is ridiculous.... It's a goodVery disappointing from Rocksteady.

    This game is a travesty and insult to PC gamers. The graphics options menu is bare bone, might as well just have had "graphics on/off". Can't turn off annoying effects like chromatic aberation or console tier blur effects to hide crappy framerates. Also game is locked at 30fps. Yes you can change it in the ini file but that is inexcusable. Do not buy and if you did, get a refund on steam.

    Hey look, all the positive reviews are from empty accounts, totally not developers or anything. The port is awful, game barely runs on high-end systems, crashes all the time and has massive amounts of stuttering.

    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.
