i got terrible news GAF
i purchased the season pass, im part of the problem
You're not the only one, don't feel bad.
Got the game free with my 970, so I used the $30 I originally used to pre-order from Nuuvem to get it.

Doesn't change the fact that it's slightly out of place. He didn't say they gave it a bad score, just that it seems low. When the Metacritic score is over a 90 and you give it a 7, its pretty obvious your score is the outlier. Not that it's a bad it just seems like he couldn't get past the batmobile, which truth be told is my biggest concern with the game.

Me too. I couldn't pass it up for 24 bucks at GMG.

I came to ask about this as well. First 15 keys wouldn't redeem without entering the last 15 keys sent over by GMG. Once I activated both were listed as Harley DLC, 33.7 GB here.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.
Has this happened to anyone else?
i got 2 copies with my cards, one i activated, the other i sold for 30, with that money i got the SP on steam, still, we shouldn't have, what we did is wrong 
I redeemed my Premium edition AK from cdkeys, so i got only one key. Does the season pass dlc just appear later then once released?

Yes, the Premium Key contains licenses for both the base game and the Season Pass, it basically gives you access to all the DLCs.

Is there still a different Batmobiles preorder thing is that coming later?

Sigh. Season Passes are here to stay, then. First Preorders, then Season Passes then kickstarted games. Next we will pay for promising game developer's tuition before they even make games.

Season passes were here to stay looooonnnngggg before Arkham Knight was even a twinkle in Rocksteady's eye.
Yea...I think "Harley DLC" is just code for Steam saying it's the preorder version of the game.
You lump Kickstarter there like it's a bad thing, when it already delivered plenty of amazing games that would never had happened otherwise.

Not a fan of the music, but I think it works with the trailer. Nice.

Blame the american schooling system for that. I hate the 7-10 grading scale a lot of people seem to believe in thanks to it.

I'm a kickstarter backer (about 5 games now), I am merely being a bit cynical about this whole investing-before-the-product philosophy we are seeing nowadays.
You should have 2 keys. Main game + pre-order bonus. And you need to activate main game first. Did you do that?
Nice trailer. I'll be in the minority and say I like Muse. They are really good live. And I actually like their new album. And I haven't liked anything they have put out in 9 years. This is their first album I think is decent. But out of all the songs they use, they go with Mercy? Should have used something like the Handler. Although maybe they are just going with the popular single.
Did you copy/paste it correctly?
Also, GMG send me two keys, the first one was for harley and that can't redeemed until you redeem the second one which was the base game.

I know its a long shot but does anyone here have any idea about PC version performance? Really confused between PC and PS4 version. I can play Witcher 3 at High/Ultra on 1080p on my PC, but that game is optimized pretty well.
Hero_of_the_Day

Yeah, just found that on their site. Thanks.
Well, DF said the PS4 version is pretty rock solid. So, I'm not worried. If you were able to run W3 at high/ultra settings, you clearly have a decent PC that will be able to run this better than a PS4. There are also plenty of codes floating around in the buy/sell/trade thread from the NVidia offer, so you can get it for a good discount on PC.

Not sure I'm ready for another Arkham game. I'm getting the feeling of an Assassin's creed game where it seems like the developers are just begging us not to care about the story anymore since it's really just become a vehicle for the gameplay. While that gameplay is still outstanding, it's also the same as the other 3 games they have done.
I want to play it but I can see myself getting burned out very quickly this time. I would like to play another 4-5 hours of an Arkham game and that's probably it.

None what-so-ever. Worst case scenario, wait until the PC version unlocks and GAF impressions start appearing.
With any luck AK will have a built in benchmark like the other games, I definitely plan to do benchmarking before digging in.

I guess you're right. On my account details there are 2 entries for Retail purchases of Arkham Knight & the Harley story pack.
That'll be a mystery until the game unlocks, unless the GeForce.com performance/optimisation guide is published first.

Yeah its not delayed worldwide. Mine shipped from Amazon last night for delivery tomorrow and various GameStops have it as I've posted photos from employees through this thread.
Seems to be mainly a issue in the UK and Europe with the packaging causing a delay.

steam preload up?

I believe that was for European orders, specifically Amazon UK and a couple others. My Amazon US order shipped so it seems to be ok over here.
Edit: Beaten by Simo but it made me anxious yesterday when I was searching. Just couldn't find anything US-related so I think we are good.

Yes. ~37GB install, 33.7GB download.

Yeah we have a thread about it linked below and one gaffer based in the US got a email from Amazon that his order had been delayed and then cancelled but that seems more bad luck in that they didn't have sufficient stock to fill his order rather than a major delay thats affecting Europe.

Ah, ok. Whew. I figured if some orderes went through they might be offered a replacement or something anyway. Tomorrow feels so far away.
Not possible, sadly.

That's not a problem at all. They're going to keep making them regardless, may as well get in on it if you like what you see.
