Fu*king Game !

กระตุกบัดซบ อย่างเพิ่งซื้อ รอแก้บั๊กดีกว่า

I made a conscious effort to play "humanely" and not succumb to Telltale's usual tacit encouragement to beat and bloodlet. Notwithstanding convincing a henchman to talk without using any violence, Alfred still yelled at me for beating the henchman "half to death", and there was a huge chunk of dialogue where I was chastised for acting like a monster. This is even though Commissioner Gordon "noted my non-violent approach" to dealing with said henchman. It really took me right out of the game and made the whole "choices" aspect entirely pointless. I would have thought Telltale would get better at this after so many games. Sloppy stuff.

อายุ 1 ปีแล้ว ยังมีบัคอยู่...
-เกมค้าง

-cloud save บางที faild ต้องเปิดปิดเกม
-เสียบ xbox controller กลางเกมไม่ได้ เกมมองไม่เห็น(เกมอื่นๆ walking dead,jurassic park ทำได้หมด)

เล่นบน windows 10 pro และใช้ฮาดแวไม่เก่ามากแบบ 970 กับ i7 4970k

ตัวเกมโอเค ep1 สุดยอด ep 2-5 ไม่ดี แต่ไม่แย่

ผิดเองที่ไว้ใจ

Bad tranform ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lag

ต้องบอกว่าผมก็เป็นแฟน Telltale นะครับอวยมาอย่างเหนียวแน่น และ หลงไปกับคำอวยที่เขียนๆอยู่นี่เหมือนกันครับ ถ้าให้เทียบเนื้อเรื่องแล้วสำหรับคนที่พึ่งเลยเล่น Telltale ครั้งแรกแล้วอยากลอง ผมแนะนำให้ไปเล่น Wolf Among Us ก่อนเลยครับ ไม่ผิดหวังแน่นอน

ความผิดหวังอย่างใหญ่หลวงของเกมนี้มี2จุดครับ
-เกมพอร์ทมาจากตัวคอนโซลครับ ซึ่งพอร์ทมาได้โคตรแล็คๆๆๆ เล่นแล้วเสียอารมณ์มากๆ ทีแรกผมคิดว่าผมคิดไปเองครับ เพราะเฮ้ย เกมระดับนี้เลยนะเว้ยหรือเครื่องกูไม่ดีวะ พอลองเล่นใหม่ ปรับต่ำสุด ก็ยังเป็นเหมือนเดิมที่จุดเดิม ซึ่งคอมผม spec Intel Xeon RAM 8 มันก็ไม่น่าใช่ จุดนี้เป็นจุดหลักที่น่าเบื่อมากๆครับ ซึ่งก็ไม่แก้ซักที
-เกมเพลย์ที่ไปไม่สุดซักอย่าง พอพูดถึงตัวแอ็คชั่นของซีัรี่ย์แบทแมนที่มันส์โคตรๆอาจจะเทียบไม่ได้ ผมเข้าใจนะว่า Telltale จะเน้นไปที่เนื้อหา แต่นี่มันบ้าอะไรวะเนี้ย ความพยายามที่จะใส่แอ็คชั่นในเกมของเกมนี้มันทำให้เกมน่าเบื่อซะงั้น แทนที่จะได้ดิื่มด่ำกับเนื่อเรื่อง บางฉากถูกคั่นด้วยแ็คชั่นที่ไม่จำเป็นต้องทำก็ได้ จริงๆ Telltale มีศักยภาพพอที่จะใส่ game play ใหม่ๆในเกมตัวเองอยู่แล้วด้วยซ้ำ แต่ยังติดกรอบที่คิดว่าเกมตัวเองต้องเกมเพลย์สไตล์นี้เกมนี้จึง นอกจากจะยังไม่เห็นอะไรใหม่ๆยังเจอเกมเพลย์ที่น่าเบื่อมาคั่นอีกต่างหาก

ข้อดีที่สุดของเกมนี้ึคือมันยังมีชื่อ ของ Telltale ค้ำคออยู่ว่าเนื้อเรื่องมันเจ๋ง
ถึงจะด่ามายับเลยแต่ต้องขอบอกว่า เนื้อเรื่องเสนอมุมมองที่น่าสนใจของ batman ในโหมด บรูซ ที่หลายคนสงสัยว่าวันๆมันทำอะไรบ้างวะ ถึงจะรู้สึกว่าถ้าเทียบกับตัวซีรีย์อื่นของค่ายนี้จะเจ๋งกว่าเยอะ แต่ ถ้าคนที่ไม่เคยลองค่ายนี้ก็บอกว่าดีอยู่

ถึงคนที่มาอ่านแล้วเป็นคนที่ชอบเสพเกมเนื้อเรื่องนะครับ เอาตังค์ของท่านไปถมกับเกมอื่นดีกว่าครับ
-Bioshock
-Wolf Among Us
-Telltale from Borderland
-Telltale Walking dead

ถ้าแฟนแบทแมนก็ไป serie Arkam เลยครับ อย่าเสียเวลากับเกมนี้ ถ้าอยากลองก็ลองไปอย่าให้ถึง2ชม.ละกันครับเดี๋ยวคืนเงินไม่ทัน 555
ถ้ามันดีขึ้นแล้วจริงๆอย่างน้อยปรับแล็คได้จะมาแก้ให้ดีแล้วกันครับ

หน้าจอขาวครับทำไงดี

It would be a mistake to buy and play this game in 2023.

The whole hook here is, choices matter. You decide how you want to play. Your choices carry over from one episode to the next, so that when you get to the end, you're seeing the repercussions of your choices throughout the game.

Except your choices don't matter anymore, literally, because Telltale's servers are down, and apparently without those servers, there's no way to retain choices from episode to episode. Even playing locally, without an account. I just finished Episode 1, clicked to go to Episode 2, and I'm being told there's no save data from the first episode. Nothing to carry over into Episode 2. "Your choices will be auto-generated," it says.

So if you play it today, what you're getting is 5 short stories, 4 of which you get to start with someone else's automatically-generated choices substituted for your choices, because somehow Telltale managed to botch the save system and server integration so badly that it literally cannot remember anything you've done from one episode to the next any longer.

Don't buy it.

--------

edit: After further investigation, a couple of updates here:
- Telltale's servers are "up", in the sense that apparently servers exist. As of right now (March 2023) there does not appear to be any way to create an account, to log into an existing account, or to recover the password for an existing account.
- Apart from the server problems, the local issue is that the game's behavior has not aged well and Windows 10/11 does not like it. Specifically the game attempts to write to the user's Documents folder in ways that Windows Defender will block by default. This can be resolved by adding an exclusion in Windows Defender. (I learned this through trial and error. As far as I can tell, Telltale "support" has not yet figured it out.)
- The game itself has aged poorly in many other ways. Some of Telltale's titles are classics -- the original Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, in particular -- and others are not so much. Batman is... not so much.

In 2023, one of the things we expect from games is that they respect our time. This game does not respect the player's time. For one, it's filled with unskippable cutscenes. The opening of the first episode is essentially a 10+ minute unskippable cutscene with a handful of QTEs sprinkled through it, most of which are inconsequential. Doesn't matter if you've seen any of it before -- space bar just pauses it and ESC just suspends to a menu. Even tabbing out of it pauses it so you don't miss a second of that unskippable cutscene goodness.

And re those QTEs: you can literally do nothing for many of them and the game is completely unaffected. In one of the first, you're supposed to hit Q to smash through a window. Guess what happens if you don't hit Q? Spoiler: you smash through the window anyway. Other QTEs are there mostly just to make sure you have not fallen asleep. You have to hit E to drag some thugs up and hang them from the rafters, for example. If you don't hit E, nothing happens. The game just sits there until you're ready to comply with the arbitrary QTE. (For these I guess quickness or time doesn't matter, they're just Es, which I guess is why you have to hit E for them.)

In the first episode, seven minutes and forty seconds go by before your first choice that "matters". And that choice doesn't even really matter, it just appears to, but for everything else up to that point, it literally does not matter what you do. In many cases even whether you participate or not is irrelevant. It's not a promising start.

Finally, even when everything in the game is running exactly as intended and you're being presented with choices that appear to matter, even then the game drops the ball frequently. You're given a "choice" whether to rough up a thug at one point, but even if you treat him with kid gloves, Alfred will berate you at length in the next scene about your brutality. Later you have the option to beat up a crime boss or not, but whether you do or not, you're going to be told that you did.

An unavoidable part of games like these is that there's an underlying story that does not change, so it's a kind of magician's trick to keep the player engaged and thinking that their choices are contributing to the outcome of the story. Some of Telltale's titles do that well. Batman, even at its best, is not among them.

In conclusion, to amend my earlier review: some of the technical issues can be worked around. Others can't. But issues or not, I'm still unconvinced that the game is worth your time. Not recommended.

------

edit 2: oh also they want you to pay for "Shadows Edition", which is literally just a filter applied to the game so everything is gray except for a handful of things they want to highlight. Old Telltale would not have paused for a second in making this update free for anyone and everyone. New Telltale thinks you should pay $5 for the privilege.

UPDATE: I have updated my review because Telltale has patched the game a few times to improve performance. When I first received the game, I was playing on a GTX 760, and the game ran but only barely. Now, after upgrading my GPU, I am running the game on a GTX 1070. The framerate is acceptable now, but it should have ran fine from the beginning per the game's recommended system requirements.

For one, the game doesn't run that well, and there's no excuse for that in a simple game like this. It's an interactive movie, basically, it shouldn't struggle when I'm running it on one of the best GPUs available. The frame rate has had constant issues prior to its many patches and then some afterwards, the game crashes randomly, the audio cuts out at times, the controls sometimes don't work -- the game is was a mess, technically, and it's very disappointing.

For two, the story is so...bizarre. Forget everything you know about Batman, because this game goes out of its way to subvert your expectations. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but the issue lies in the fact that the way it's written, the game feels like it's punishing you for doing what seems "right" or natural. But instead of the twists being clever and thoughtful, it's more like choosing to let your character kick a can on the ground and then the can explodes and you lose a foot. Not to mention some of the dialogue choices do NOT reflect what Bruce Wayne actually says, leading to some "restart to main menu" moments. Lots of them. Just keep in mind that if you intend on having what may seem like a good ending to you, this game is going to fight you tooth and nail to wrestle it away from you. This is not good writing, it's annoying and stressful. Maybe a little ironically so, the action is really cool in this game and does feel very Batman-esque, albeit like I mentioned before the frame rate issues and unreliable controls will frustrate you so. There's also the small matter that some of Batman's "detective moments" are absurdly dumb, to the point where I was both laughing and shouting at my monitor because they make Batman look like he misses the most obvious of the obvious; thankfully, not all of the "detective moments" were dumb, but some of them were, and that was enough.

All of that being said, I did enjoy myself. Obviously, because I finished it. If you love Batman, you will find a lot to like about this game. When all was said and done, I can't say it wasn't worth playing, but my feelings were very mixed. I am looking forward to the next Batman story, but hopefully the writers will step up their game, because the choices and end results in this particular story left me feeling unsatisfied. But, maybe that's the point. You decide.

I feel like I hate to love this game, and I want to play the next one even though my experience with this one was such a roller coaster. The performance issues were bad, and they didn't totally go away even after the 2016 holiday and I made a major upgrade to my rig. Your mileage may vary. My opinion on the story is that it misses the mark in many areas; if you felt like Batman v. Superman was void of happiness or optimism and that was a negative point for you: brace yourself, Telltale is coming, they're coming to take away all your Batman fantasies and replace them with a strange Batman story that makes you feel like you failed even though you tried to Batman the best Batman you could possibly Batman.

I love telltale games, I love batman, my hype for this game was off the chart. However there are lot of running issues. I have a high end laptop and I have never had trouble running a game, this game was however running at about 10fps with a lot of sound issues and a lot of crashes. Do not buy until the issues have been worked out.

Dialogue is out of sync, lagging like hell, not more that 10 FPS, Resolution problems.

Fix did came for all the problems and more settings option but it was too late, so no, I will not recommend the game. Also with the delay in last 2 episodes for only PC version. It's a no go for me, buy it when it's every cheap. Like very very.

For Review of the Episode 1 and 2 See EDIT 5.
For Review of the Episode 3, 4 and 5 See EDIT 6.

EDIT: Was able to fix the low FPS, but still having resolution problems (Can't go to full-screen whenever I select it, it also fezzes with Alt+Enter).

EDIT 2: Was able to fix full-screen error too, need to make your game run with integrated graphic card then select the resolution you want (while in full-screen) and then switch back to your Nvidia card.

EDIT 3: Game stopped working in full-screen again (with Nvidia Card).

EDIT 4: So, I was finally able to play the game

EDIT 5: Episode 1 and 2 proved to be a very exciting adventure. You’ll be able to experience a fairly unique Batman story with surprising twists and turns, all while feeling rather familiar, thus never kicking diehard fans against the shins. Simple game play, many story options and a high replay factor make this game fun to create your own Batman experience, or to have friends over and decide together.

EDIT 6: So, Episode 3 is a fun continuation of the story, but it’s also clear that this fragment plays itself out in the middle of the story, as there is slightly less evolution. Nonetheless, you’ll be making many interesting choices, while certain questions are slowly being answered, and new characters are being born. Certainly worth continuing your journey as the Dark Knight.

Episode 4 - This is the worst episode in a great season, but it doesn’t seem as though it’ll tarnish the entire package too much. Because the final minutes are so important it’s hard to recommend skipping it to those who have been enjoying the series so far, and it’s far from being a bad enough episode to turn people away from the series as a whole. Still, it’s a disappointing development after increasingly interesting chapters, so we’ll have to wait and see how the finale wraps everything up.

Episode 5 - It wraps up the series nicely while leaving enough dangling threads to make the possibility of a follow-up a very real, enticing possibility. This isn’t the strongest Batman episode to date (for me), but it’s nonetheless an entertaining, fitting end… for now.
