That's nice, maybe I'll buy it on sale for $5 one day.

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I feel as if it is worth the price its currently at. I got 60 hours out of it, without even doing 100% of the acheivements.

Sure but they put Denuvo on it so they pay the asshole-tax.

Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.

1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it

2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was also my first JRPG, and I would say it's pretty easy to grasp the concepts of it.

No, it's a separate story line.

[–] _waffle_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Appreciate the response!

It is always the same game comes out runs like short after a month drm gone game runs fine …

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its because the launch of the game is when a game, especially a niche genre gets sales. Since denuvo has a recurring cost to using it, how early its removed is dependant on sales.

So it's more of a "publisher cutting costs" thing than sheer benevolence.

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

usually yes, its a publisher cutting the reccuring cost of using the DRM

Wait, does this mean it'll run on the Steamdeck now?

[–] Lemmitor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’m pretty sure Denuvo games have always worked on steamdeck. I think you just need to launch them one time while you’re connected to the internet.

[–] sudotstar@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Yup, while Denuvo DRM is still an issue for many other reasons, it has been generally very Linux and Wine-friendly, especially in comparison to other popular DRM/anticheat solutions in place that explicitly block LInux users by-design, or at best change their implementation so often that it's a cat-and-mouse game keeping Wine and other layers up to date to support it.

[–] nicman24@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

i might buy it then

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good. Fuck Denuvo anyway.
