XSX purchase

 

[BennyBlanco]

Beta was so bad that I won’t even dl for free on gamepass

 

[Saber]

Feel sorry for those looking foward to this game.

Fortunatelly, I'm not one of them.

 

[Guilty_AI]

why not just keep playing l4d2, not like that game is starving for content

 

[winjer]

I had little interest in this game, but this just kills it.

 

[pqueue]

well, now i will wait until it is removed again.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

I had some small amount of interest, but that is gone now.

 

[Kenpachii]

Watch it get review bombed on launch

 

[Fake]

This game was indeed left for dead.

For those who aren’t going to pirate the game, why is this an issue?

Capcom promises patch for Resident Evil Village stuttering issue seemingly caused by DRM

Denuvo says that it has nothing to do with the problem.

www.pcgamer.com

Basically, it adds jank, stutter and cpu overhead towards PC games.

 

[Spukc]

That’s ok might as well put denuvo on dogshit

 

[ethomaz]

Well they have the right to do so.
Plus they secure these full priced early sales.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Put denuvo on denuvo

 

[elliot5]

idk how it's kinda fucked for them to add denuvo.

 

[Kenpachii]

Steam should start banning denuvo games entirely. Get rid of that shit once and for all.

 

[NeonGhost]

Out off the loop what does this mean

 

[Spukc]

Denuvo does work so
But feel free to ignore this release
No issues here at all after the beta

 

[jshackles]

Mostly because it's been up for pre-order for months, so there are likely a lot of people that have pre-ordered and haven't checked the store page recently and will get blindsided by this. Game performance will likely be much worse than the betas.

Thankfully Steam has a good refund policy, especially for pre-orders.

 

[Sleepwalker]

It's not like people are going to pirate a game that relies heavily on its online multiplayer experience. Poor decision.

 

[pqueue]

For those who aren’t going to pirate the game, why is this an issue?

online only game; that is enough copy protection.

 

[DarkestHour]

Guess I won't be buying it

Found the snti-pirate!

But yeah, this is pretty fucked after, gaining traction previously for NOT having Denuvo...

 

[JackSparr0w]

What for? It's an online game.

the people that get bothered by it will find out and refund it, otherwise nbd.

I also don't buy into the denuvo trashes performance hysteria and people like to use it as a scapegoat kind of a non issue anyway

Don't pre-order games.

 

[Complistic]

Won't play it until it's removed.

 

[captainraincoat]

least us console peasants will have some good games before the masterace turns up in 2 weeks when its either cracked or patched out due to performance issues

 

[01011001]

XSX purchase

plays like as on Controller tho, at least that beta... demo... preview thingy did play like shit on controller. also no FOV settings if I remember correctly

 

[BennyBlanco]

its on gamepass, plenty of people will be playing on PC

That link has denuvo specifically saying it does nothing of the sort. It doesn’t make sense that it would either.

Is this on PC Game Pass as well as console? If so I might download it and give it a go just to see if it has any issues.

Why does the cracked version doesn't suffer from stutters then?

 

[MrFunSocks]

Did you even read article? Capcom had their own DRM as well as denuvo. Denuvo claim that they have tested with and without their DRM and it doesn't affect it at all.

 

[jigglet]

You'd think after how poorly Evolve went, Turtle Rock would have hired a PR manager this time around to soften this type of stuff.

 

[Haggard]

Judging from the last beta that game has more severe issues than a troublesome DRM. The whole design felt more archaic than the original decade old L4D....

 

[Syphon Filter]

For those who aren’t going to pirate the game, why is this an issue?

drm is poison

 

[Goalus]

Does this apply to the Microsoft Store version as well?

[STARSBarry]

I don't understand why they are worried about piracy, the beta was more than enough for people to realise it's not worth wasting your time to download for free.

 

[Javthusiast]

What is the fucking point? It only hurts the customers.

 

[STARSBarry]

Did you even read article? Capcom had their own DRM as well as denuvo. Denuvo claim that they have tested with and without their DRM and it doesn't affect it at all.

Company investigates its own product and find that its own product has no negatives what so ever...

Meanwhile



When RE2 accidentally released a client without denuvo at launch people noticed a drastic performance diffrences between the two versions despite otherwise being identical...

Despite denuvo for years stating that there DRM had no impact on preformance...


HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Denuvo Insists That Its Anti-Cheat Technology Doesn't Slow Down Game Performance

Denuvo has often been criticized for slowing down the performance of PC games, but the popular anti-cheat technology that's commonly leveraged by publishers to prevent piracy actually does no such thing.

www.thefpsreview.com

They even state there internal benchmarks show no diffrence, can they show these benchmarks in any detail? No because that would be breaking the agreement with publishers as there sworn to secrecy. But just take there word for it and not the actual real world examples which strangely when put side to side show impacts to performance, its those which are lies...

So at the end of the day its still drm thats fucking up the game

Heaven forbid developers don't want people stealing their games for free. Greedy developers!

 

[Guilty_AI]

Heaven forbid developers don't want people stealing their games for free. Greedy developers!

Heaven forbid players wanting the stuff they paid for working properly.

Meanwhile the ones that didn't pay are getting a better experience.

 

[Dave_at_Home]

From what I've read, this game will not support mods. No way this game will have the same legs as Left 4 Dead. Will play on Game Pass for a bit and move on.

Maybe wait until Back 4 Blood is out before saying it doesn’t work properly?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Right? Always gets cracked and affects the performance. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

I originally thought this game was gonna be alright. But man, it doesn't even hold a candle to L4D 1&2, it's such a hollow inspiration in so many ways.

 

[Saber]

Heaven forbid developers don't want people stealing their games for free. Greedy developers!

At cost of making it bad for honest people supporting it? What kinda of stupid logic is that?

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

People know it has problems, makes games slow, it has been cracked. It is a waste of money to just feel a pretense of safeness.

 

[MrFunSocks]

It doesn’t “make it bad” lol.

What performance impact does denuvo have on back 4 blood, since I assume you’ve already got it?

People saying it doesn’t work need to step back and think - if it doesn’t work, why does everyone keep using it? Hint: it does what the publishers want. They don’t care if it’s cracked 2 months after release because the majority of their sales have already been made.
