Controversy? Warner Bros? PC? How preposterous! On top of a woeful PC launch of Mortal Kombat X, Arkham Knight has also been significantly marred by poor PC performance, and the reasons behind them are even worse. Users utilising both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards have been experiencing a plethora of issues since day one of Knight's release, and Warner even limited the game to 30FPS for the PC Market before it had released in a poor attempt at damage control. This means that in its current build, Arkham Knight on consoles is actually outperforming the PC version when it comes to graphics - something unheard of in modern day gaming. Even more unsettling is the fact that it appears as though development of the PC version was outsourced to a relatively unknown studio called Iron Galaxy, a company of only 12 employees. Even more alarming is the fact that reports suggest they only received a build of the game 8 weeks prior to Knight's release, leaving them with very little time to bring a high quality release to PC users everywhere. At the current time of writing Warner Bros. have also pulled Knight from Steam and have asked multiple retailers to stop selling the PC version of the game wherever possible. This isn't surprising though, as Knight's Steam page is currently enjoying over 1800 negative reviews, each urging players to stay away from it if possible. It's easy to see why, as now PC users have to avoid spoilers for a painful amount of time. Were you left disappointed by the finale to the Arkham Trilogy? Or are you satisfied with Knight's experience? Let us know in the comments below!
