It isn't smooth until it does 30 passes!
Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm playing the 360 version because my friends are playing that version. It comes down to that in the end. I mean I kinda got screwed out of multiplayer with Left 4 Dead when I found out all my friends got the 360 version of that and I had the PC version, so I kinda gotta go where my friends are.
Granted, multiplayer is a weird beast in this game, but I'm not missing out on a massive party. And sure, maybe a PC port would use Windows Live instead of Steam, but well, almost no company bothers with that. I'm willing to sacrifice a few layers of smoothing for convenience at times. I also got the PS3 version of Arkham City because I just didn't think the physics processing effects were worth fidgeting with the PC version of that game. Let's face it. Playing PC games these days is a frickin' chore. At least when I buy a console game I OWN the game and not just a "license" to play the game (never had to agree to anything when I popped them in the system). Well, excepting DLC, which is basically screwing everyone over and Capcom's the worst about it these days. Getting Mass Effect 1 to work right on Windows 7 took me weeks of research and trial and error, and most of it was dealing with a very persistent disk check.
Anyway, I loves me the PC versions of all sorts of games like Fallouts and Elderscrollses, but I made a pass on waiting out any future PC versions of this one because it just didn't seem worth it.
On another note, it seems like this game depends on an "always on" internet connection. Ugh... Gee, it was sure nice to NOT be playing a SINGLE PLAYER game I OWN because some people were working on the neighborhood's cable lines today.
I'm with Penny Arcade. I'm not accepting "there are worse problems in the world" as an excuse for THIS problem. Turns out rage is not a limited supply, we can apply it liberally as much as we want.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
