Games protected by Denuvo require an online re-activation for every hardware upgrade.

 

You want to change your GPU? That's one activation lost. Wanna change something else? There's another activation.

Denuvo activations aren't lost.

They are still activations. Something which does not belong to gaming.

But I'm actually impressed with how many independent titles are on there - Firewatch, Inside and Oxenfree as contenders for best story? That's pulling above their marketing weight.

Oxenfree? I got it for free, courtesy of ShadySands but I didn't think it was anything special. I can appreciate what they were going for with their attempt on natural dialog, but it fell flat. The actual story isn't anything overly thought provoking, either.

They also definitively make denuvo not just an 'anti-tamper' measure as claimed, unless they mean that it stops you 'tampering' with your computer hardware. Verifying and tying software to hardware is a definite DRM measure as you cannot use protected software until it's been reverified.

 

(Which kind of illustrates why those Eurogamer articles are trash, since they didn't even bother to challenge denuvo on that. Having said that, DRM discussion #32543 in a series of 100000 is a bit pointless, as everyone's positions are pretty set)

Apparently this is entering beta, and is being made by the devs behind "Eye: Divine Cybermancy" which is very...ambitious, broken, weird and definitely 40k ish.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

It contains both, especially if one chooses to go beyond Imperial Servitor technology and explore Necron Necrodermis and Eldar Wraithstone controlled tech. As well as of course the perils of the Warp and their manifestations within the Materiums technology.

EYE?

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

True.

 

Don't think we'll get to see it in a Space Hulk setting, but I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

Killing floor 2 comes out on PS4 tomorrow, I know I'm gonna be binge playing that when I get off.

Do you know if they ever got cross-platform pay working? If so I'll gladly join you for a game or three (otherwise I'll not be able to given that I only have it on the PC and don't intend to get a PS4).

I would have bought pirated it if not for DENUVO.

 

 

Fixed that for you.

I see you're still accusing people of being pirates without any provocation or evidence. Some things never change...

I can feel the jank overtaking me! It is a good pain.

there are two FPS-RPG games that I liked so much I wanted to play them non-stop, but that ultimately disappointed me: E. Y. E. and Hellgate: London. very similar games, they were trying to do what Borderlands eventually succeeded at: make a first-person Diablo game. 

 

I like this formula a lot more than I do sandbox games TBH. but there aren't many such games, unfortunately :(

I would like it, if there was a game that did it well. Borderlands is nice, but bullet spongy enemies ensure that the shooting feels massively meh. Shadow Warrior 2 gives absolutely fantastic feedback from its guns and shooting is great, but progression and lack of level design leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not entirely sure I'd throw EYE in that bunch tho - it felt a lot more like Deus Ex than Borderlands, altho it was altogether its own thing. In which you could totally camp in the corner of the map and spend an hour hacking turrets and possessing enemy cyberbrains, because why the hell not.

 

I think a rogue-lite could work rather well with the model, but I don't think there's a good one which would offer randomized gun statistics.

It's ****ing awesome. Very smooth, haven't noticed any dips in frame rate even when it's getting chaotic on the screen. The controls work great except one thing.

With Kb/m u can press a number key to go to a weapon. I'll go ahead and say it maybe me but I can't figure out how to go to weapons slots without just cycling through the weapons til I get to the one I want

Well was referencing Mallory's quote more than defending Bioware's choice. Andromeda is the closest one, so makes some degree of sense. Can't blame them for wanting to not be handcuffed by the previous games.

Oh yes I think thats exactly why they're using Andromeda to wash their hands of any player choice in the last games. However in terms of closest viable colonisation they still have the 99% of the Milky Way to explore beyond the relay network, which would have worked just as well at insulating the game from its forebears, and make a lick of sense. Space being big they'd still even at near C velocities be effectively beyond communication with the previous worlds.

 

Look at what 40k can fit in the Milky Way, a near infinity of species and mysteries, yet the idiots at Bioware think that a hundred billion worlds is not enough, as i've said before moronic.

I was under the impression that the Andromeda initiative was a private enterprise set up by people who took Shepherd's warnings about the reapers seriously. So if the reapers routinely harvest the Milky Way, going to another galaxy makes sense.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Commandos-esque tactical stealth game Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun now has a free demo (on both Steam and GOG).  The demo is currently Windows only, but Mac and Linux versions should come before the game's release on December 6th.
