Batman Arkham Knight - Official Thread!

Steam refunds have probably indirectly increased sales for Steam.

Having the ability to refund any game (albeit less than 2 hours/2 week play time) is probably worth the premium you pay nowadays for purchasing full-priced titles on Steam.

I know Arkham Knight is a bit of a special case since GMG and other key sites are supposedly offering refunds also, but doubt it will happen with every game.
 
All gameworks titles have stutter for me, doesn't matter what I do, I still get micro stutter, batman AO and TW 3 are better than other GW games but still nowhere as smooth as most other games.
 
Those devs should release finished products then & know that if they do not then they open themselves up to possible financial issues, steam are entitled to take their cut because they have hosted the product & sold it thus fulfilling their part, the poor quality of the product is down to the devs thus the penalty should be theirs alone.

A thousand times this.

:D

He makes a good point about pre-ordering though, if you do pre-order, go through steam, if the game is **** then refund, you lose nothing but the game developer does so this will teach them and hopefully other companies not to release such broken games for the pc again.

Not quite the right "theme" for the refund system... but lets take a minute to thank our Lord Gaben for he is the saviour of the master race pc platform


:D
 
This refund 'feature' from Steam is a huge game changer. Maybe to the point that publishers will be selective about what they publish on Steam. I'm not aware of consoles honoring refunds for broken games. Eg. AC Unity so the safe bet is release your broken game where it can't be refunded :)

Having said that steam (and other's that refund) is where the buying public may prefer to spend their money and we might see a massive boom in PC Gaming. Especially as it's a safe bet with pre ordering.
 
I know of someone playing it on the hd 4600 with no issues, his laptop has a 760 in it too but was unplayable on that.

Will give it a go on HD 4400 and 4600 soon, been having fun trying to get it running on NVIDIA laptops in between other work today!

Did find HD 5500 slower than HD 4400 in GTA V as well, seems Intel need to get their act together on Broadwell drivers.
 
In the history of PC gaming, as this ever happened before? :eek:

FFXIV a few years ago. Game was released and pulled due to a massive backlash. This was not a performance issue though. The game was re-designed and made available 6 months later I believe. This is the reason the main game was 2.0 and the expansion released a few days ago is 3.0. 1.0 cost the lead desiger his job.
