That pretty much lost me at 40 dollarbux for an expansion. I'm really glad I didn't like the beta and never even started.

it's just a raging trash fire from what I gather. people running SLI'd 970s having performance issues on low settings. people with 3 year old video cards running it reasonably well. crashes, screen flashing, huge frame dips

but the biggest thing is it's like 80% of the people who bought it are having problems, it's not just a few people here and there

As I said I didn't have any problems but I didn't try the main story just the Harley DLC which level wise was as bare boned as Quake 2. The bench mark test showed fancier stuff but it didn't look like any footage I've seen. Meaning, the PS4 clips looked better. It had that nVidia smoke effect but it looked almost comical in its exaggeration. I'm just not taking any chances on a shorty port, I got my money back, so I'll get the PS4 version tomorrow if it isn't sold out.

probably smart, I guess that MKX port is still kind of fucked up so we can add WB games to the list of publishers not to trust with pc games

I'm going to suggest you skip that Mad Max game.

But, MM was always about fucking shit up in a car. I never cared about Batman because he had a tank.
I see what you're getting at. Well, all these modern pissfaces with their fake ADD need a new gimmick in their sequel or they think a game sucks. DOOM II would be unacceptable to the internet now a days.

i haven't really played destiny but i do kinda find this whole saga of love/hate kinda interesting from the outside. bungie has always had this shitty cool guy approach to talking to its community when there was something fucked up about their shit and it llooks like scaling up to an mmo sized game has made it worse. that luke smith guy was a total faggot back in the halo 3 days. its funny to see people in an abusive relationship with their favorite game. i've kinda been there before..

it like, yeah gamers are all xasthur fans and should be thrown in a fire but in a concrete way the developers most of the time are just gamers on steroids with actual power over the the way other people play. its crazy.
Yeah that is unfortunate. I don't truly give a shit about some emotes and shaders but I understand. Part of it is gamer entitlement / ocd gotta collect it all mentality but the biggest part is Bungie is fucking horrible at pr. Have they always been that bad? The game right now is the best it has ever been. The second dlc is so much better than the first and they've essentially killed the grind. And they're destroying all the goodwill they earned the past month. :lol: I'm still excited for TTK! Multi-million dollar companies being so stupid will always be hilarious.

Also, Luke Smith might be a smarmy douche irl but no way does anyone deserve the amount of vitriol being thrown at him. Gamers always bitch about getting taken advantage of and companies "fucking them over" and personally insult devs but expect studios to be 100% open and treat players with respect.

Basically, gamers to devs: "Respect us and treat us fairly. You fucking kike cunts."

-Act 4.....What I've seen of it so far in the beta is amazing.

-Jewels.... Jewels and can to inserted into modifiable sockets on the passive tree. Some Jewels change nodes within a certain radius. For example, there is one that changes all dex nodes into strength nodes in a radius of where the jewel is socketed. There are a million jewels that do a million different things.

-Divination Cards....Look this one up on the website. A whole new way of getting specific items you want. This is going to be great for self found players.

-100 new uniques

-A bunch of new skills

-They're changing all kinds of mechanics in the game. It's almost going to be a whole new game with a completely different meta.

Shit is fucking crazy.

Game is still 100% free with the best free to play model of any game ever.

What copstache said and the game is missing AO and the rain quality is worse and/or non-existent on the PC version. GG Rocksteady. :lol:

I read a review that strongly suggests using the alternate controls for the Batmobile.

After some research, apparently worldwide release means lumping Korea in with the Japan release date. I bought a code from GreenManGaming so I thought I'd be screwed on a refund but they're going to offer refunds if the patch doesn't fix things and fix them well.

It's crazy, but PS4 Bats looks much better. I played the Harley DLC, and its if they used a more advanced shader and has high texture resolution. Also, she moves smoother.

Also started the main game & its Batastic! I want to play more, but with a heavy heart I know myself. I must finish ME2. I go on a pretty long vacation in July & I don't want Bats being interrupted. I'm pretty sure I can wrap up ME2 in time (especially since I used a cheat so I don't have to scan planets). Damn. Thinking logically is sour grapes but for the best.

Screw it! I'm playing Batman.

Just finished the Harley Quinn thing. It wasn't too good, but got me back into the swing of combat.
