Have you gone to the linked website to redeem the code? They'll then email you a steam key.
As for the game.....I have to agree with Neil over the fov in the game. But what I've played so far has been good.(Just got back to batcave)
Installing this 19GB beast on the SSD!
- non skippable intro cutscenes, LAME!
- and it starts up in a Window
19?!
Mine was 26!!
Me too, on a 670 GTX FTW edition at stock clocks.
Everything maxed out including Physx. Loving it so far, it's not got that excitement of the first 2 yet, but I'm only an hour and a half in. It does feel a little bit more rushed to me, the story that is. Suddenly I'm chasing down cobblepots men to interrogate to find out where black mask is... There doesn't seem to be much meat behind the story so far. If it's anything like the second or first, I will be happy
I too am unsure about what AA to use, at the moment it's just max which I think is MSAA high.
Will test tonight, I was hoping there would be a benchmark.
Also, loving the physx in the game, the smoke is brilliant and the snow! I spent a good 5 minutes on a roof top running in circles just to test it. As after a fight I noticed it had looked like (as it should considering there were) 5 men on the roof. Sad I know but it impressed me.
I do feel a little detached from batman at the moment. He just seems to be a total badass that can take anything coming at him. I hope the story thickens up a little.
Played about 30mins last night. Love it! I feel the combat is more smooth and faster than Asylum and City were. Will take a while to get used to someone else voicing Batman but so far, it's great!
Please consider others who haven't played the game yet.. Use spoiler tags where appropriate - thanks
The opener was definitely good. And I didn't expect to be taking on Croc so early on. Will give it a more lengthy play tonight

Yea, I'm not keen on the fact Croc was so early! Seeing as he is one of 8... It's not boding well for longevity haha. Unless it's just a setup so to speak and Croc comes out to play properly later on.
See above please
This is really annoying me now! I had every intention of playing before I left for work, but due to the install needing another few hundred mb's, it wouldn't complete the install.
Had to delete and re-download all 26GB to another SSD
I wanna play the damn game - City was awesome, this can only be better!

Ouch, sorry to hear of your woes mate, just bringing a fresh eye to the table, is it possible down to sound setup in playback devices? Hope you sort it soon mate.
I need to move the install from my 1TB mechanical to my SSD, a fair few times the game kind of clunked for a splt second as it loaded things. So might make it that bit smoother and grant a few fps.
Thanks Agnes
I'm unfortunately at work now, but on the up side, it has all day to re-download. I did consider using my 1.5TB mech drive, but the platters spin at 5400rpm and previously this has caused stuttering which means it's been installed on my OS SSD. I'd hate to install on my mech drive and find it's unplayable.
I need to get some new drives - 2x 250 840 EVO's should do it

Fixed it, guess I was just tired last night... it wasn't the game, it was my speaker setup. The Center/Sub speakers were not working. I quick unplug of my speakers this morning fixed it.
This is why I'm thinking it might be a speaker setup issue. Make sure the in game audio is the same as what you have. So for me I have my audio going through my GPU via the HDMI cable to my amp which then goes into a 5.1 setup.
The amp outputs 5.1 PCM for games, obviously films that can, output others such as DTS, Dolby Digital etc etc.
However, some games will have options for setups like this, such as Batman, where it has headphones, stereo or home theater. Home theater is the option for me. But if I were to select that and stick my amp into stereo mode, I would probably lose the voices on middle channel. I think... Need to test. Or is it the other way round?
Anyway, then finally double check the configuration for the playback devices (right click on the volume icon, playback devices, configure). This will have the list of output options for your speaker setup.
Again, this could be utterly useless and not help anyone at all. But just a thought
Wow, is the city really that big for it to be 26gb?!GTA V is 16gb and that is surely bigger?
You're kidding right? GTA V is running low resolution textures and what have you... No doubt the PC version will be much bigger!
And on the subject of size, I can't help but feel the map is small?? Unless I'm looking at it funny, but it does seem like a small playground compared to Arkham City...
It's not just the map, you're looking at textures and effects also.
I'd expect them to expand on the City from the previous one as Batman Arkham City was massive and so much fun!
Stop rubbing it in!!! Gotta wait till I finish work and I'm not that patient

I'm stuck at work too.
Started unlocking it last night around midnight, but when the time went from 20 minutes to 3 hours to decrypt the files I went to bed.

I tried to give it a bash last night. But it was just taking forever to load a game after finding players. I gave up.
Also, where is everyone seeing that this game is 26GB??? Mine was exactly 16.2GB.
