Sorry if this has been asked before:

I got a free code with an nVidia card for Arkham City, but I'm not interested in playing it.

If I redeem the code on the website, can I add it to my Steam account as a gift for trading? Or will it be activated right away and be untradable?

Roblam: send me gift

it will be tied to your steam account, your best option would be sell the code

It shows £24.99 in the UK region RIGHT NOW!

So, I assume this is better than Arkham Asylum?

rogueblade · 27 Nov 2011 at 19:00

Yep, I went ahead and about the massive discounted one on Origion for 24.99pounds

Assuming it's the same as the 360 I think there is a highest combo bit in the stats screen

No.

Just sell the voucher code in the MM, if you have access, or on Ebay.

Had a look on my stats there isn't a highest combo. It just shows what percent of the game is complete.

Forgot this game had been released

Decrypting is taking forever.

On the 360 version someone got a combo worth over 200,000 using Nightwing on the DLC map provide with him its possible to get around a 200 hit combo :eek:

What does the various DLC do exactly?

4 extra challenge maps for predator & combat challenges. Nightwing & Robin characters to use only in the challenges.

The other DLC is unreleased on consoles as well but on 6th Dec 7 Batman SKins will be released as DLC then there are another 2 DLC challenge maps to come & perhaps a surprise Joker skin. All in all around £20 of DLC which is still a bargain as you can play all challenge maps with all characters & alternate skins.

£20 for DLC!!

I only paid £18 for the full game.

Runs great until you start gliding, then stutters like hell. CPU usage at around 35% and GPU usage under 50%. Great

Looking at the Arkham City forums and it appears the game has plenty of issues.

Turn off DX11 modes and physics on the config launcher. It will run perfect then.

Already off

Seems vsync is somehow forced as well, despite being set to off in both CCC and the game settings.

Edit: Dropped the AA down and seems much better... strange that it would cause stuttering when the GPU isnt being stressed.

Just finished the main storyline. Got loads of things to do on the side as I just ignored them. Took a good 13 hours. Unlocked the game Friday night!

Overall, very enjoyable and a brilliant title. Generally looked nice throughout in dx9 mode.
