The new launch trailer is amazing.

The GMG key lets you preload now. I just redeemed it on Steam. If you bought the season pass, you have to redeem the game code first.

Pretty cool until that song (is that Muse?) kicks in.

It went pretty poorly with the last trailer but I think it works really well this time around. It's Mercy by Muse. Cool song.

Gamespot grade feels out of place. Game looks ace tho. Can't wait.
I'm gonna keep trying a couple more times, but my Premium Edition key isn't working. Getting kind of scared.

Are you sure you're putting in the premium edition? I got 2 keys with mine. One for the premium and one for the Harley DLC, the Harley one was on top for some reason.
The Steam pre-load is up. Mine is already preloaded.
Should be up sometime today, going by other releases.
Speaking of nvidia, the Arkham Knight game ready driver is up.

Launch trailer was amazing!
I think the song works great in this trailer.. not the other one though.
Ok, so every trailer I have seen said "this is how the Batman died"
I think its safe to say he lives.
and no, I don't want the true answer to this but I just find it ridiculously brain-dead how they are using that punch line over and over. In a way inadvertently screaming out a spoiler trailer after trailer ( that he wont die....presume). But if he really does die, then my god rocksteady's marketing team has lost their mind.

I mean, at least Van Ord was honest. I'd much prefer reviewers use the entire scale and actually grade the game honestly instead of giving everything a score in the range of 8-10.
7/10 is still pretty good.
Excited!

Ok i think i'm dumb. I think i received two codes but i put them both assuming it was just one. Now i have to wait.
EDIT: Someone knows when i will be able to redeem again the code? I just feel so stupid

Still no Premium Edition key here from GMG.

When's the OT going up?
Yeah you're right; there are two keys. In the email GMG sent me, it just says "Key" so it confused me.

Yay, GAME just shipped my order. I can't wait until tomorrow
Although it wasn't the same reviewer, seems Origins didn't grade out so well either with them. Bugs were pretty bad, but I enjoyed it quite a bit even though it was "more of the same."
Might just be another case of this or a case of not everyone will love the game...otherwise things are looking great. I was actually a bit concerned, with bloodborne being great and then witcher being just as good if not better, felt like we might be due for a letdown with Batman, doesn't look like that will be the case though.
Most of us will know for sure in a couple days. In rocksteady we trust.
EDIT: Unfortunate that the theme among the reviews is that the batmobile is the weak link of this installment.

If any of you ordered from Nuuvem, my key was in my profile this morning. Putting it into Steam now.
EDIT: Weird, mine tells me it's a key for a "product that must be activated first" so false alarm I guess?

Yeah, the song seems way out of place. Cool trailer besides that, though.

Gamers will begin for more of the same soon. Now that Rocksteady will be moving on, gamers will want Warner Bros to hire another developer to make a new game using the same engine. This won't be the last Batman game this gen.
Brilliant.

To be honest, as long as they're as good as AO I'd buy a new Batman game every year. I am part of the problem.

I love Pokken!
Still no OT?
Anyway, my suggestion:
|OT| Are we sure this is 1080p?

Doesn't seem like it, according to Nvidia Inspector.
Which is odd, considering it says this on the driver page:

Nah too unnecessarily edgy. Protect Gotham Racing is 100 times better.

Did all you duders who bought Premium version Steam keys get separate Harley Quinn DLC keys? I assumed that'd be included in the season pass; I just got the one key from OzGameShop.

The batmobile complaint is interesting, because it's so universally disliked among reviewers, that I wonder how the rest of the game holds up vs how bad those sections truly are. In that regard, the Gamespot review stands out not because the batmobile sections are poor but because the reviewer didn't think the rest of the game was fantastic enough to overcome those sections in warranting a higher score.
We just had Witcher 3 come out to pretty much universal acclaim and that title has plenty of gameplay issues or things that straight up suck (hello Roach and horse racing). And you could make a list of such issues across the gameplay systems within Witcher, but clearly the package clearly came together, worked and impressed reviewers to warrant high scores.
That's my takeaway from the Gamespot review anyways, not that the batmobile sections are poor but perhaps the rest of the game isn't impressive enough to carry those sections.

Steam/retail pre-order keys automatically grants you Harley Quinn DLC. Season Pass is another thing. If you don't pre-order you do get Harley Quinn and Red Hood DLCs as part of the Season Pass later.
I got one key for the Season Pass and when I redeemed the other it said it was for the Harley DLC but t was like 34 gigs so I'm assuming it's the full game.
I don't know, it's hard to quantify review scores and boil them down so simply. Any number of things could have affected the reviewer's score, franchise fatigue, how they feel the actual rating should be handled, ect. I mean, 7/10 is not a bad score by any stretch its just that so many of us have been accustomed to the fact that 8-10 is good/great and 1-7 is for mediocre/shit games.
I remember when 1-3 was terrible, 4-5 was average, 6-7 was above average and 8-10 meant the game was truly special.

Everyone who ordered from GMG, remember, there are two codes.
Harley Quinn's DLC and the game are separate codes and the main game needs to be redeemed first.

That really is a terrible song choice.
I got a 980ti so I got my version free from Nvidia. I'm guessing it doesn't have the pre-order stuff with it.

Yes, the PC version, my bad.
Hmmm...so that means it should work, right?
It's unlocking at 10am PT worldwide at present. No region is getting the game sooner. If, however, WB has asked Valve to set region-specific unlock times, then that should be done some time today.
Not a fan of Muse, haven't enjoyed any of their music I've heard...so I naturally don't care much for it in the trailers myself.
