This does seem poor form after three theoretical months of fixing - especially when the new release has made a point of putting a ton of paid DLC up for sale. On top of that, there's no official SLI or Crossfire support, and people without ridiculous systems are reporting all sorts of other issues too, including crashes and low frame-rates.
No other game, to the best of my knowledge, has that requirement. As I wrote yesterday, there's some sort of issue with paging which means the official advice is to restart the game if it stutters under Windows 7, while Windows 10 players are advised to have at least 12GB of RAM.
While there is very probably some degree of kicking a man when he's down going on, Arkham Knight's re-release is most certainly not in the robust shape it should have been after all this time. There is a steady stream of new positive reviews too, but right now the balance appears to be more towards the nays. And, unfortunately for publisher Warner and developer Rocksteady, quite a few of those are brand new.
Mercifully that misleading label has now been removed, which means ol' Bats is back to being adorned with thousands of negative reviews. Initially, Steam stuck a big yellow button on any reviews posted prior to yesterday declaring that they referred to a 'Pre-Release' version of the game. No doubt its makers had hoped the Steam reviews would turn positive come this much-anticipated update, but it seems the opposite is happening - the new version has new problems, and the negative reviews are pouring in once again.Ī question mark had long hung over what would happen about the thousands of original negative Steam reviews once the game was restored to sale, and now we know: they're still there, and the game's reception is currently labelled 'mixed' on Steam (with 9,600 negative and 8,400 positive at the time of writing).
The game was pulled off Steam in June after a torrent of complaints, refund requests and negative customer reviews. Last night's re-release of the troubled PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight tries to fix two things: one is the misbehaving technology, and the other is the reputation.
