Of course there are tons of performance problems on PC - it's an Nvidia title. NEVER. EVER. Buy a Gamesworks game at launch because you can be sure it will have dozens of problems (For all GPU's) for months.

I have already posted this elsewhere. None the less I'm currently playing it on PC with SLI GPU but with minor performance hiccups.

Nvidia must be paying out a massive sum of money or have some amazing for companies to keep allowing them to torpedo their games.

Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

It wasn't overhyped, Rocksteady simply outsourced the PC port to a very very small company (like 10 people).

I haven't been following the news with this game but outsourcing the PC port to a 10 people company? That's kinda like setting the port up to fail. I mean this game isn't a small budget afterall.

It's actually 12 (I should update that), but still an absurdly small team to deal with such a large project. Especially one that would absolutely be utilizing newer hardware, and have to scale back to older hardware. I can see why it failed so miserably, but it doesn't excuse Rocksteady from the obvious error. It also doesn't mean the game is overhyped, it just means yet again, we have a company cutting corners on a platform. I'm really not enthusiastic about this trend. It bodes ill for the future.
