I'm loving the game and once I got the tank controls down I was fine with it, I've only died once in the batmobile and that was on my first attempt.

By the way I strongly recommend going into game options and turning on battle mode toggle, that means you only tap R1 to change from pursuit to battle mode instead of holding L2.
Also it makes L2 reverse which means it matches every other driving game.
The IGN review pointed it out.

Serious question for PC Gamers: what are the minimum specs you need to run Arkham Knight? I know for the console gamers all you really need is a PS4 or XB1 and an internet connection.

Well from what I have heard ... right now you'd also need a non broken port as the PC version is having all kinds of issues.

Got it early last night. The Batmobile combat was clunky at first, but once I got the double thrusters for dodging, then it became awesome. And yes, I wanted some Batmobile action. It was in LEGO Batman, why not in the best Batman game adaptation ever? Damn, we gamers are so jaded nowadays. So not liking it means they're jaded gamers? Okay then. Im fine with driving in the batmobile but I never wanted strafeing tank combat batmobile stuff. I liked the bits in the Batman Begins game with the tumbler. Even that Arcade game thats out now for combat stuff. The car combat in this just feels like its from another game. A game without a lot of the polish of everything else.

It is when you expect and demand perfection. I realize that Rocksteady set the bar really high in nearly everything regarding Batman and modernizing the story, but if the Batmobile action is the worst thing about the game, I'll take it. It is used as a plot device to maneuver around Gotham. It does feel out of left field, but it is also an advancement of the plot and feel of the series as well. It was an inclusionary statement that I made, and I stand by it. I know how I can get about certain video games, and I didn't want that experience that I bring to the field to rob me of the awesome gameplay that I was about to partake in. Rocksteady took a risk, and although many may not like it, I applaud them for even doing it with a game of this magnitude. And Batman still doesn't kill. Even in the Batmobile.

It's not even about expecting perfection. It's just pointing out when something is clunky and lame in a game. You can still like something but point out it's flaws and look at it critically. I don't hate the game. Not even close. I just think the batmobile combat stuff is lame so far and I'm gonna talk about it.

Anyone seen the movie "Stretch"? {Spoiler} Because I keep referring to Joker as "Joker with a K" cause of that film.

It's default is off, just change it to on. I spent a good few minutes trying to change it in the controls section.

Okay, so I had the ending spoiled for me but I was gonna hold off on seeing the true ending until I earned it for myself. That was until people were talking about how awful it was. So I bit the bullet and...yeah. Have a look yourself if you like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikF8FBodSUcSpoilers behind the link obviously. I just got my copy and I'm gonna play the hell out of it but seriously. I agree what the hell was that.

So I just finished the Ace Chemicals section. Enjoying it so far but I have no idea what to do in regards to side missions. It keeps popping up telling me where the firefighters are but then it disappears again and leaves me lost.

LOL, first played it this afternoon and accidentally tortured Joker's dead body at the beginning. Game starts up...I'm watching/playing/whatever...it gets to the Joker's dead body part. I have zero clue what's going on...as far as I knew maybe Ras Al Ghul or somebody stole his body and was doing some ritual or something on it. So I'm staring at Joker's dead grinning face, waiting for the eyes to open and for the jump scare to happen...and I keep waiting and I keep waiting. "C'mon you dumb f***ing clown, I know your eyes are going to pop open and you'r going to do the AH HA HA HA HA HA HA famous Mark Hamill laugh" As I get more and more nervous, my finger slips and I bump the analog stick...suddenly a small fire bursts from besides Joker and startles me. "Was that me???" I hold the stick a little longer and the fire gets a little bigger, burning some of Joker...but I stop. Then I start again and go a little longer...then stop "his eyes are going to pop open, I know it!! C'mon, asshole, I'm ready for you!!!" Finally after waiting and burning Joker's body every now and again I just hold the analog stick, torch him completely and the game finally continues.
LOL!
By the way, I can't stand the damn Riddler. I've been bitching and complaining since Asylum about how bullcrap it is that he has all this wealth, energy, and time to set up these stupid f***ing trophies all over the universe just to make Batman chase down these stupid things....then, during the first Riddler Batmobile course, the son of a bitch has the f***ing BALLS to tell me how precious his time is and how much more important it is than mine. Seriously guys, can I just take up Frank Castle's cause just this one time and put a bullet in that mother f***er? Please? Pretty please?

Serious question for PC Gamers: what are the minimum specs you need to run Arkham Knight? I know for the console gamers all you really need is a PS4 or XB1 and an internet connection. Game was built from the ground up for consoles then ported to PC by the same studio that ported Arkham Origins. That was a clusterf*** at launch, let's give them another shot at Batman. The big thing about PC ports is that it's a bit of a crapshoot if they'll work or not. Sometimes it runs fine on an average pc while running horribly on a high-end pc. Considering that the game actually deletes files when you turn off motion blur, I'm going to just say that it's probably not the fault of the hardware.

Really minor complaint, but is it just me or does Batman have an incredibly derpy face? Something about it seems a bit off.
Everyone else Ive encountered looks great though.

Not enjoying it so far. Its the same old, same old really, the batmobile was not as fun as i expected either. I hope it perks up a bit because everything is so bland right now, just glide about a bit, beat up bad guys etc etc.

Things have gotten so bad with the PC version that WB is taking the drastic measure of suspending all future sales of the PC version until they fix its technical issues. Source
