One particular issue players with laptops constantly run into, is that the game somehow defaults to using the integrated Intel/AMD GPU instead of the discrete option, for laptops that offer the feature. In my experience, this was the result of constant micro-stutters. There are also reports of in-game lag and numerous instances where dialogue is out of sync with animations. Another resolution-related issue is that the game doesn't have an 'apply' button in its settings menu, leading many to think their choices weren't received.īecause the resolution setting is part of a sub-menu within the main options menu, you have to press 'escape' twice to get out to the main menu, only then will the game ask if you really wanted to apply the new settings. One of the most common reports are about a bug that locks the mouse into a specific part of the screen once a resolution higher than 720p has been set. The game's Steam page currently has nearly 400 negative reviews, describing all sorts of problems. Though myself and many had hoped supposed engine upgrades would hopefully be the start of a new era for the studio's games, it seems there's been little to no change in the technical department. It's running into issues on machines of varying spec, it has a laughably limited set of graphics options - and of course, the Telltale mainstay, bad or non-existent controller support. The PC version of Batman: The Telltale Series has all the marks of a Telltale game. A worldboss tier, level 2000 Olthoi Queen.Steam users are not happy with how the PC port of Batman: The Telltale Series has turned out. It was a good day for it too, the admins of the server I play on - Levistras - lined up a live event for us replacing the expected scripted event some of us on the server were aiming for with the shattering of the bells to open passage to the Olthoi Queen. Both kids were at friends places on respective friends’ birthday sleepovers so was able to invest near on teen-level hours again. And now looks to be making a comeback of a sort.Īnd a nice change of pace from yesterday wherein I spent altogether too many hours in Asheron’s Call. In any case, fair bit of fun even coming at it so late in the day that the company responsible ceased to exist. I appreciated that the game gives you a lot of flexibility in just how brutal (or not) your rendition of Batman is, too. And the surprise twist at the end really isn’t.īut I think there is at least as much to be had in the joy in how the story is being told in Telltale games that rises above whatever the actual story itself may be. The story treads fairly well known Batman fare, don’t get me wrong. But it sets the scene nicely for what is to come with a great tension between Bruce Wayne and Batman and the relationships surrounding each. Nominally framerate is hitting the 120hz refresh rate, but it stutters like mad every now and again.įortunately, not commonly during a QTE, and not frequently or severely enough to stop me from playing.Įpisode One (Realm of Shadows) was very brief with only a handful of scenes really. (I loved the crap out of Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy, hah.) My only real complaint is that years post release and there are still performance issues with the game. Yeah, sure, there’s QTEs out the wazoo, but I’ve never really been too turned off by them honestly. Say it! Say iiitttt!Īfter quite some time away from the Telltale franchise (I think the last one I finished was Tales from the Borderlands… Or possibly The Wolf Within, whichever of those two came out last), it has been quite refreshing to jump back into the style again. Ditto with the Game of Thrones Telltale game, and the Minecraft themed one too. I’ve owned the full season (and season two as well, actually) since shortly after Season 2 wrapped up - I just, uh… Never quite got around to them. I played several hours of the Cube World beta earlier in the day and then ran through the first episode of Batman in the evening. I’m holding out hope that this oversight will be rectified in the future episodes.Įither way, today I took as a bit of a palate cleanser. Right, well, disappointingly in my opinion - this line was not once uttered throughout the opening episode of Telltale’s 2016 ‘Batman – The Telltale Series’.
