Regardless the performance, the game is a big let-down anyway. Only 5 minutes into the game, and you're in the car, racing and hitting walls all over the place. 10 minutes later and there we are again, time for another (badly-designed) racing sequence.
I got it for free with a new nVidia GPU purchase, uninstalled from steam the same day. And this is coming from someone that finished both Asylum and City, so I don't hate the game series. Of course, opinions may vary so I hope anyone who spent money to get it to manage and get some fun from this.
Something Jim Sterling loves but I am waiting for DLC lol. Loved the first 2 games (origins I will not lump in, not rocksteady's work or storyline) which was why I got this on preorder. May be the last time I do this TBH. Only have 1 pending preorder out there, the 3rd shadow run from harebrain. that hopefully saves the day for preorder. Not seeing me do this again tbh.
Other 2 games I got were steam sales and both games picked up for under $10.00. this game...tbh...if I could do things differently would have been the same and wait till next summer's sale for another $5 buy.
Can't help but feeling the convenient plotpoint of gotham being completely evacuated in 1 day was DC stepping in and protecting their IP saying you can't have our batman wiping out civilians pedestrians on the side of the road GTA style.
Which is real easy as that bat mobile. Watch the Jimquisition clips above, he has a very fitting phrase for how the car handles. Some may find it crude but it is actually very fitting and needs to be said like that and not buried in words to make the political correctness people happy. the car mechanics are just so terribad, and it becomes an issue as driving missions get harder.
Wouldn't be so bad except they give a comparison in game that has me going wth is this crap. There will be side missions where you chase after certain people in APC's. APC's that are fast and agile. They way they cut hard turns at speeds even my batmobile is going full burn and barely keeping up....I want to be that APC.
When even GTA puts more effort into more realistic driving, you have issues. When you are making driving a massive part of the game I am not asking for Gran Tourismo/Forza level of detail but....lets try to get close to something that is workable.
If DC did step in to have some creative input for this....they should have stopped many other things lol.
Like the storyline tbh. Its just I am feeling rushed to play it as the side stuff is annoying and only for wayne tech points. Or I do some to go well at least I am not in the bat tank mode....again. Sad really. Its like reading a novel where you love every other chapter in the book. These chapter as it were are pretty good. Good enough to deal with the crap chapters between....lets just say its the full price I paid that has me trudge through them. Game is becoming work really.
