Arkane Dishonored 2 - Emily and Corvo's Serkonan Vacation

[HoboForEternity]

yeah, def not gonna buy this thing or anything by bethestard again

Never understood these people who enjoy less consumer protection.

 

[Raghar]

While I think the effect of Denuvo on performance is greatly exagerated

I know how it works, and it has shitty performance. You basically pay electricity bills caused by DRM.

What's Denuvo? The new Securom/Starforce?

Worse. It's a former VMProtect, from the creators of SecuROM.
Basically, you run a game inside a virtual machine, which obfuscates the code, and makes it impossible to crack. Obviously, at the cost of performance.

Yup.



I think they should make Denuvo illegal, and forcing DRM removal n years after release by law. (In fact when I'd be appointed to comittee which decides if each game is fit for selling in the country, I'd order the DRM removal in half year or rule game using Denuvo/TAGES/Any other crap unfit for selling as merchandise. Thus make it illegal to sell in the country, INCLUDING through internet transactions like as Steam.) Initial protection is important. But you must think also on artistic influence of population, and about grievance it causes to legal users. (And all these illegal users have children who can have paid job, and its theirs problem how to decide to spend money. Perhaps they would sponsor a kickstart campaign to get game they'd like.)

But we are living in ages when robbing is a norm when it makes profit for company. The things that's worrying me is the worst games are using Denuvo... Even CIV VI didn't, and it's decent game. TW:Warhammer did, and even pirates didn't gave a shit. I'm kinda glad I didn't bother to take it at half price for pre-order. Now a disabled ex-programmer has more money for dentist.

HoboForEternity you are either being deliberately retarded, you are actually retarded or you can't read.

I'll make the relevant part bigger in case you still struggle.

LESS T_T even pointed it out to you and still you choose to ignore it. If you are genuinely butthurt about not being able to install it on more than 5 PC's in one day then you are undoubtedly a very special kind of consumer. Even being generous and saying you do actually have more than 5 PC's you want to install it on, it hardly seems worthy of tears to have to wait 24 hours to install it on the rest.

I'm not defending Denuvo as I'm not keen on it either due to the stories about it placing extra wear on the hard drive, and nor am I buying Dishonored 2 as I thought the first one was boring as hell despite the excellent art direction, but if you're going to ride the Denuvo hate train at least pick the right carriage to jump on.

It doesn't really matter, whether there are 5 activations, 10 or 100 within a day.
It's an anti-consumer practice, and publishers who introduce that kind of crap do not deserve to be supported.

 

[Raghar]

Folks do you understand that identifying a PC is violation of a user's privacy?

If you remember about what I wrote about Bioshock, the problem was they forgot to return activation after uninstalling and then... Some users deleted windows to have clean installation and previously experimented with new GFX cards which they bought for Bioshock. You understand how livid they were when they discovered about that activation limit.

You install it on laptop to see intro... change one component on PC change other component on PC, show it during visit of your friend, then try to install when you will have to play it at home... The activation limit is just because of what Voksi did.

[Echo Mirage]

Greenman gaming has just sent out their codes.

 

[Morgoth]

Yo preload starting soon today.

 

[Baron Dupek]

You know why people are upset about these activations "per day"? Because it smells like "small steps" tactics, next time there will be no "per day", not even more than that.
It's a pity all that shit happens to Arkane, only one of the few decent devs group these days...

Spoiler

inb4. "there were already 5 activations limit overall"

 

[pippin]

Because it smells like "small steps" tactics, next time there will be no "per day", not even more than that.

This is what you should have to worry about.

In the case of Dishonored 2, the game has the following layers:

-Internet connection
-Steam account
-Steam client
-Denuvo antitamper
-Activation limits

It doesn't even look like you're renting the game anymore.

First review:



Basically the guy is mad because there is no gamey faggotry like new game plus or switching between characters

 

[Morgoth]

This guy is a complete moron. Who needs "professional" reviews anyway? It's 2016 ffs.

The game has already been unlocked in the Asia-Pacific region, and apparently the performance is dogshit.

 

[Sodafish]

lol. The graphics look barely any better than the original, and that ran just fine.

 

[vortex]

This guy has 9h30 into it.

 

[Latelistener]

Denuvo and shit performance... hmm, I think I've seen that somewhere before.

 

[Siel]

Not even Denuvo can explain this shit

 

[Somberlain]

I want to play this on day one but that would just suck since it's 2016 and games are never playable until a handful of patches have come out

 

[tormund]

Not even Denuvo can explain this shit

It's a Dishonored sequel alright.
