Batman : Arkham City on sale Retail

[Anomaly1964]

Should finally be out tomorrow. Hope its not buggy and the delays were for good reasons. This has been my most anticipated game of the year.

Have my free copy from ordering my son's GTX570...

...this game will DEFINITELY get me through the wait for SWTOR launch!

 

[Informant X]

Yes the game is playable now. I picked it up at BB for 50 bucks. It includes the Robin DLC. So even thought steam has it for 40 bucks (If you bought BBAA, or Lego Batman) the DLC probably makes the difference. Anyway back to playing!

How are you playing?

Steam doesn't even have a preload option yet, let alone 'Play'.

I bought it at Best Buy. The store version uses Games For Windows, not steam. I installed it and it did do a "date check" which passed. So yea, i'm playing it now. Also just DL'ed the Robin DLC. (Best Buy version comes with the Robin DLC)

Stopped by the Best Buy near my work at lunch, nothin out on the floor.

you better skip the DX11 features as they are buggy right now. leave those off and the game runs pretty good.

Really?

Another issue I had was it kept giving me an error when I put in my email and password for windows live...but I know it is correct. I just X'd out, the game started and it did save progress...

...but am I missing something?

SLI GTX 580's here and enabling DX11 makes the game a slideshow in some areas. No better on 6970 crossfire either.

Its damn good to know that 1000$ worth of GPU's can't run a game at full detail.

I wonder who's to blame, DX11 being a crappy API or the developer for a bad implementation?

Once you have started the game, how do you go back in and dumb the graphics down a bit?

 

[blackened23]

There's a game launcher with video configuration options just like batman: AA.

I'm playing thru steam and just double clicking the Batman Arkham City icon on my desktop, what am I missing?

Thanks!

I think launching through steam will bring up the config.

That worked..thanks!

So are you running DX11 or not...?

Buggy as in how? Performance or actual corruption/glitches?

 

[Red Hawk]

Yeah, the PC version of the game retails at $50, thankfully.

Square Enix, the publisher, kept the PC version of Deus Ex at $49.99 on launch as well. They seem pretty good at keeping their PC game prices low, as opposed to some other publishers.

 

[Anomaly1964]

Again, new to steam, it says I can license game on up to 4 pcs, does that mean I can let my kids play it on their PCs?

 

[Eugene86]

I've got a steam code for this game, if anyone wants, I'll sell it for $35.

Just wanted to throw it out there!

My Metro 2033, STALKER, AvP and Battleforge all run fine for me in DX11. Leaving me to think it's Dev problem. as long as they patch it that is cool, but in today's day and age of PC being second thought the last thing you can ever do is expect support.

 

[Anomaly1964]

So are you guys playing DX9 or 11?

Haven't played it yet... But I'll find out tonight when I get home!

What about the playing on multiple PCs through steam?

 

[Rakewell]

I know that you can only play one pc at a time with the same STEAM account. I think the 4 PC BS is Games for Windows Live....

Not sure though... Anyone else?
