Meanwhile Denuvo says those people are full of it so  I don't put games on my SSD anyway because it isn't big enough

Like Len said, the guys who make Denuvo will obviously say it's not the case, but I mean they're obviously gonna say that either way because that's their stock. Though admittedly it's not like a critical "WILL gently caress your poo poo up ASAP" problem, it's just a known issue with it being what it is and doing what it does.

al-azad posted:I definitely see the justification when a company like CDPR goes far out of their way to be fair and The Witcher 3 is still the most pirated game of the year. It's a peace of mind thing. The logic is the same as "locks only keep honest people honest." A criminal will break your lock if they want your stuff but you're not going to leave your door unlocked. True, although I think Witcher 3 being widely pirated is less to do with DRM and more to do with Witcher 3 being a stupidly good game that everyone wants to play. Most effective DRM is to make a really lovely game. Then the usual pirates who wouldn't have bought your game anyway won't pirate it because no one wants to play it.

It's anecdotal because it's obviously just here and there or depending on whatever, but hell, some people even pirate games then buy them later. You can call it whatever you want or claim it's this or that, but even a lot/most of the big crack groups and stuff always have a "If you enjoy this game, buy it some time too and support the people making it!" note in their releases too.

The only thing that matters to a multi-million dollar organization is what's on paper, more so if they're publically traded because they make their money by appeasing people who have money. If a paltry sum cuts a percentage of undesirables from downloading your stuff you take it. GOG benefits CDP as a distributor. The whole DRM free is advertising and CDP doesn't behold themselves to the same standard when they require you to register your disc copy to download patches. Because they loving know their home region is filled with piracy, that majority of them still buy physical, and CDP has pretty aggressive tactics at home.

Lords of the Fallen was the first Denuvo game. Lords of the Fallen hosed up SSDs. This was because of how Lords of the Fallen was coded and how it implemented Denuvo, not Denuvo itself. I hate DRM too but most of this comes from flag-shipping on a game so bad that it kills your computer.

Remember when Spore released and it got poo poo on all over in the Amazon comments not because it was a mediocre game that wasn't anything like what people hoped but because it had always on DRM? Nerds just cannot prioritize.

Idea for horror game: pirate everything on the internet while avoiding the creepy thin guy in black who periodically checks over your shoulder. Actually I vaguely remember a game where you're poo poo posting on the internet while looking at your door because a Guy Fawkes masked assailant could break into your room and murder you.

I want to see what Prey is going to be. They're talking about you and the enemies can transform into any object so they'll set up scenarios where you're constantly paranoid of the environment. But you can transform too so you can lay ambushes.Sakurazuka posted:What is actually coming out this year other than Resi 7? I know there's a couple of indie things like Scorn and Agony but I dunno if they'll hit 2017. Frostpunk by 11bit, State of Decay 2, Get Even from the NecroVision devs looks like a Condemned/Outlast hybrid, and Call of Cthulhu off the top of my head. No concrete release dates or gameplay really but that's par for the course with horror games which seems like they're announced and released within months.

Wow I did not know they were making another Call of Chthulu game. I definitely hope that turns out good. There is a lot of potential in that setting. Not really a high grade horror game but State of Decay 2 is set for 2017.

I wouldn't be surprised if that weird not-The Last of Us zombie horde shooter Sony was touting gets released this year. Partly to tide people over for The Last of Us 2 but also out of spite for State of Decay 2.

A new Call of Cthulhu is on the way? That could be interesting. Dark Corners of the Earth was really good, until guns got involved. It was still worth playing til the end though, but that combat...

Days Gone. I think that game actually looks kind of cool if it delivers on the idea of being chased through an open world by hordes of infected like the trailer. It at least looks like a different take on a zombie game.

Plowed through Until Dawn in the span of like a week. That was pretty fun once I got over my tendency to want to save everyone and just went, yeah, this is a cheesy slasher movie and half of em are going to die. But Hero of Justice Mike survived, so whatever

Prey seems to change into a who can out dick whom game where you can abuse powers to possibly even evade fights all together or turn them into physics based death hunts. If you care about staying scared, that feeling of helplessness could quickly go away if its powers click with you like abusing Dishonored's warp or the savants that turn that game's powers arsenal into an art piece.

I want to play RE7, it is my most anticipated horror game of 2017 (aside from Routine, which may be vapor) but I don't want to have to deal with losing everything in the case of an internet hiccup, like Hitman. That said, Denuvo is on Just Cause 3, which hasn't had a hiccup yet for me. Anyone know what the deal is with State of Decay Year One Survival Edition? Is that regular State of Decay with all the DLC, or is the base game updated in a way that I don't already have as someone who owned State of Decay before? EDIT: Is Night in the Woods a horror game? That might be my most anticipated horror game. Skyscraper fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Jan 3, 2017 |
