I have two questions.

How much is the Season Pass on top of the game because I have GCU at Best Buy, so I'm swinging by there after work Tuesday so I don't think I'll be paying too much...

Also does anybody have a core idea how many missions/side missions/etc are in the game overall? Feel free to spoiler.

Which system are you getting it for?

Base price of the season pass is $39.99. You can get it for as cheap as $24 for the PC version right now, though.
 
To anyone who's got the game, do you know if there are any HUD customisation settings, just in case it's pretty invasive-- I like to turn off what I can!
 
So, guys, enjoying your time with the game? Were the batmobile criticisms overblown, or is it a real negative? How's the atmosphere compared to the last games?
 
I'm really starting to enjoy the game more now that I have Batman's new suit. The more powerful grappling hook makes traversing the city so much fun. You can keep gliding for so long with it.

And along with making the PS4's UI lag like crazy, the audio in my recorded gameplay clips are out of sync with the video. Not sure why this game is messing with the UI so much. No other game I've played has done this, not even games that make my PS4's fans kick up a lot.

This will likely be literally the firs game Ive ever spent $60 on so I am curious as well.... basically deciding between Arkham, Witcher 3, and Dark Souls 2

Well, I've played both Dark Souls 2 and The Witcher 3 atleast, and I can tell you that the Witcher 3 is EVERY bit worth it. One of the best games I've played in a while, and I don't even play a whole lot of RPGs. I was glued to my screen and lost several days of sleep in the process, and that hasn't happened in a long long time for me. Wonderful game.
 
Yeah, I'm running the 10 preview right now and all the games that worked fine for me on 8.1 are still working fine on 10.

Only problem is, I hear ds4W has problems. And I'll be damned if I lose my main input method on win10.

the batmobile is difficult to handle at first, but when you handle it well, it is perfect. It is also true that in some missions can be somewhat "forced". On the atmosphere, would say like Origins

I've been loving the batmobile so far. Some missions require you to use it, but I don't mind them at all. It can also be a little tricky to handle at first, but once you get the hang of it it becomes really fun to drive. Although I still prefer to use my grappling hook and glide around the city.

And the atmosphere is darker (like Origins) and the city actually feels crime-ridden. There are always thugs on the streets causing riots, or just driving around like maniacs shooting at nothing in particular, or being chased by the cops. Not the most alive or bustling city in videogames, but it's much better than in past games.
 
This is probably a stupid question but is there any specific date it's set on? I could have sworn I saw it was set on Halloween night.
 
This launching at noon on Tuesday on Steam and not midnight is going to kill me. I was hoping to squeeze in a few hours before I have to spend all day at the Doctor's.

Did Origins have any good atmosphere lol?


Asylum was the most atmospheric and the bar imo. City and Origins didnt do it for me.

How are you getting these shots without a HUD? Are there options to turn it off? Or are they from cutscenes?

Also, it seems like the game has The Order 1886 levels of film grain and excessive CA on top of FXAA. Looks way too soft. Still looks good, but could've looked a lot better.

And so much for all the unnecessary panic over "downgrades" based on work in progress footage

Alright - pre-loading the PSN digital $80 premium edition: you get the game, season pass, harley quinn story pack, scarecrow missions, ps exclusive skins pack, and an ugly theme that im never going to use.

Should be able to play it Tuesday 11pm central...disgonbegood.gif

mmm, I do not think I can explain in English, but I'll try.

We are playing, button choices and once on the menu, followed circle and Share button.

Practically every game using this method, fuciona. For a few seconds all the HUD disappears from the screen, you just have to practice

You understand?

Understood. Thanks! :)

Where is the Season Pass $24 on PC? I thought it would be Nuuvem but it looks like they stopped selling keys for WB games.

For what it's worth, Shadow of Mordor (another WB game) had noon as the unlock time and ended up going live at midnight, so maybe this'll be the same situation.
