Arkham City - PC or CONSOLE?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasnt there a certain instance where legit PC users could get the pirate bug and find the game unplayable?

Will that happen again with this one?
 
PC version will of course be superior. If you feel a controller is better suited for this game just hook up a 360 controller to your PC. Honestly though I played though Batman:AA with keyboard/mouse and thought it worked great. And yes the PC version is delayed slightly, but it's worth waiting for.
 
I'm mostly a console gamer, but I'll get the PC version. It will look and run better and be $15 cheaper.
 
Only downside to the PC version is it come out almost a month later. Coming out today would have been perfect, but on 11/15, when people will still be playing BF3, MW3, Uncharted 3 and Skyrim. AC: Revelations comes up a little after. I might not get to it until next year. If I had realized this sooner, I wouldn't have bought it on PC. I would have either picked it up on console, or waited for a Steam sale.

Getting it on the PC, but I'm wondering if it will play better with a 360 controller. All I have are wireless 360 controllers, so I can't use them on the PC.
 
Wow. So much confusion and anxiety in this forum regarding Xbox 360 controller compatibility on the PC.

I think a thread needs to be stickied about it already.
 
Geforce.com exclusive first look at the PhysX effects in Batman Arkham City.

Also, the first screenshot showing tessellation in Batman Arkham City:

You can see tessellation in the background behind Catwoman, as well as on her outfit.
 
Are there really any advantages to playing this with a controller? Admittedly my combined game time with controllers, ever, is maybe 2 hours, but I can hardly turn around properly with one of those things! I own a PS3 for rock band with the GF, so have tried some demos but I'm absolute shit and play like a drunk person (I can drive decently though.) There is no way I could get through half a game with it. I see no reason not to stick to my mouse and kb!
 
Why would anyone use a controller for a PC. That is just weird. Thats like saying "screw this BMW! And pull into a used car lot and trading it in for a Fiesta"
