So, before that sleep, I'll throw in a few more suggestions for the OT title.

My steam client is saying approx 1 day, 11 hours for unlock. So that puts it at around tuesday evening 6pm? I thought it should unlock at 12 am tues?
 
They used UE3? MKX having all those problems is even worse considering it's a fighting game opposed to open world, yikes.

Yes, it actually uses the same adapted UE3 version from rocksteady that is being used for arkham knight. But before you get to worried: it was ported by high voltage studio, which are THE ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY IN PORTING THINGS. They are really, REALLY bad, I think they never delivered an acceptable product to this day. Their track record is pretty much filled with buggy, bad performing piece of shit ports. Arkham knight shouldn't be that bad.

people have said that other WB games have had messed up timers as well, and it supposedly happened with advanced warfare as well...but they all end up unlocking at midnight. I am worried about that too. Leaving on vacation on tuesday, was hoping to get at least a few hours in before that.
 
the only review i care about is not out yet, wtf gametrailers? where are thou? still recovering from that shenmue 3 and FF7 remake reveals?

Well not only is the timing making things problematic, but it seems like WB made some logistical mistakes and then FedEx screwed up. Brandon won't get to start playing until tomorrow.
 
That hasn't really been my experience with them unless something's changed. I know there were issues with them getting Witcher 3 keys out for launch, but last 2 games I preordered from them (GTA V and DA:I) had keys up before release. Hopefully they'll have them tomorrow.
It's up and down with GMG, but luckily the PC version is all Steam, so there shouldn't be some massive mix up or anything. At the latest hopefully Monday evening.

Except GMG has had a poor history of getting keys out to the people who prepurchased. I dunno if they overpromise/don't buy enough keys/something else but I always find it hilarious that the first people to generally get keys from them for big releases some times is to buy it the day before and they have a better chance to get a key right away vs. anyone who put money down weeks or months ago.

As i said GMG and any other retailer gets keys when publisher/dev sends them.
 
Did anyone else get an email from Best Buy saying their order status has changed and no longer has a definitive pick up date? It was the regular edition, not any special or limited version with bonuses.

Not liking the sound of that... :
 
I'm assuming Nuveem customers can expect codes 12am Tuesday? (Ie they're not timed with GoG's output right? It's my first time dealing with them) :p

Edit: ah great, thanks again for the info Corpekata!

Hard to tell really. Probably not 12 AM tuesday if sites like GMG are sending keys out, they're just not promising to send them out until release day. A lot of time they get them out a bit early.

I got one today and it says it's pickup date was changed to June 18. Now I'm no scientist but that breaks the laws of everything I know.

Mine said something similar, but the 18th was the day I ordered it, so I thought it was related to the copy of Smash Brothers also in my cart. When I click detail about Batman, it says the item is still processing.
 
What would you rate it?

Solid 7.5-8. Batmobile combat makes it tempting to drop a couple of points. It's just the same thing over and over, never evolves like the hand to hand has/does. Story is serviceable, you see everything coming a mile away. Not sure I'd ever replay this story simply because of the batmobile segments and that's coming from someone that replayed AA, AC and AO multiple times. It's a huge detriment, at least for me.
 
I'm in the UK and my Psn pre load still has not started 😑

This is my first time pre ordering on psn and it's not really been a good first impression of pre ordering new releases

Is anyone in the UK having the same problem ?
