So I have myself a bit of a dilemma. I own a PS4 and I convinced myself to pick up the premium PC version from Green Man Games when they offered the 40% off discount deal which came out to about $54 bucks.
When this fiasco started (prior to WB pulling the game from Steam/retail), I heard that they were offering refunds if the first patch released did not "fix" the game. Then WB pulled the game to work on it until it's all sorted out. I wasn't sure if Green Man Games would change their tune if this process ended up taking like a month or more so I emailed their support asking them what their return policy on Batman: AK is under the circumstances and here is the reply I received:
Now, normally, if my PC met the "ultra" requirements or if I had a 3GB+ video card, it would be a no brainer for me to assume that I would be playing the "superior" version of the game after they re-release the fixed (and hopefully, visually complete) game. But here are my specs:
i7 920 overclocked to 3.9 GHz
GTX 770 2GB
12 GB RAM
My i7 is dated, even though I was able to overclock it. And my 770 is only 2GB, so unless they highly optimize the build, "normal" textures are a no-no for me. I realize we can only speculate at this point, but with my PC build in mind, what would you guys assume my chances would be in having a PS4 (or better) experience with the PC version once the fix hits? If I refund it now and purchase the PS4 version, that would be the safe option. If I wait and try to take advantage of the 40% off deal, I run the risk of it still not playing too great even after the patch and potentially not being able to refund it, or if it does run well it still might not be up to par with the PS4 version.
I am at a crossroads GAF.
