owsf2000According to PC Gamer, The PC port of the latest batman game that was yanked from Steam due to being such a buggy unplayable mess for the majority of PC gamers, is finally back on Steam!
After 4 months!
And apparently not all the bugs are fixed yet. They're still working with GPU companies to get the game working nicely for them (Why they need the GPU people to fix drivers to suit their needs instead of just making sure they program it correctly to begin with is beyond me - most people don't seem to have a problem delivering high quality graphics on their PC game.) but they did notice that if you have at least 12 GIGABYTES of ram on Windows 10 then the game won't need to page stuff out, and as a result it'll actually run much better.
To help calm the sheep, Warner has decided to do a favorite tactic of a couple other publishers that also release pretty poor quality games at times. (I'm still laughing at the whole Assassin's Creed disaster, but probably because I avoided the game like the plague.) Indeed, they've decided in their generosity they will give all those who buy this still-buggy-after-4-months-of-intense-fixing before Nov 16 FREE COPIES of games they likely already own.
Yes, that is digital copies of Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY, Batman: Arkham City GOTY, Batman: Arkham Origins, and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. You know, the games most of the players of this game have probably already bought and enjoyed and bought the latest game based entirely on their opinions on the previous games.
So if you're a hardcore Batman fan, you're shit out of luck - there's nothing new for you here since you likely already have it all. The only benefit this has is to anyone who might have never played the series before, but when the game is still pretty buggy on PC... would you really care?
They aren't even giving away any of the DLC for the current game as an apology. Probably because that would actually cut into their profits - they've already milked the older games they're giving away for all their worth.
I'm still not interested in the game so naturally I won't be buying it - either before or after Nov 16. And that's before you even consider the fact that the game is likely going to cost way more than I would ever pay for a game on steam.
