It isn't.
Would you mind sharing what's misleading about this article? The game exists (you can see two screenshots there)
If your comment wasn't directed at me, then it's OK, I understand that Beamdog's previous work has been divisive at best (with all that stuff with their expansion, etc)
They are. I doubt that this one will be a big thing, it's probably a port of the 2011 enhanced re-release for ps3/360.
We did, in 2011.
Oh, I'd LOVE a current gen Dino Crisis game. It's so weird that they've seemingly abandoned some franchises that sold well in the past, the same thing happened to Onimusha.
The gameplay was really good too, and they handled the transition to 3D environments well. An underrated classic.
Yeah, but they mean that games like Arkham City are extreme examples where the devs had to offer refunds regardless of playtime. I think that Muadiib is right about that, but that's precisely why I'd prefer if Valve went through the store pages of the worst offenders and checked whether the reviews were representative of the product's current status or not. Their current approach is far too wide in my opinion.
My problem with it is that they didn't say "we did this"
They posted a changelog for the store update and this specific change was never mentioned there.
That's correct. You can still read those reviews but they don't count towards the overall score displayed on the store page.
Depends on the title. Some developers had to waive those restrictions away because their games were really buggy (Arkham City comes to mind)
Yeah, I don't like that they didn't document this change on their March 9th announcement. I can see why it could be useful, but it seems like they just want to wash their hands off the refunded games reviews matter instead of examining the situation closely and deciding whether a game is in a different state than when the reviewer refunded it or not.
That's correct. In this case it's not going to affect them a lot, but if they keep using the same version of Denuvo to protect future games, it's not going to be worth it for the publishers/devs. Hopefully they've changed stuff so whatever technique CPY are using won't work again.
I live in a third world country, and I know that game prices are pretty crazy when it comes to regional stuff (games cost the same here as they do in the US, even though our economy has been in bad shape since forever)
You know what's the problem with that excuse for piracy? If you have a machine that can run a modern AAA title, then you should be able to pay for the game. Computers aren't cheap.
I've seen people with top end hardware who pirated games because th...
Have you played NieR: Automata on PC? As far as I know, none of us have. You can't decide that a game is "half baked s**t" if you haven't tried it (or don't have reliable information confirming that)
Good day!
If it delays the crack for a week, then it's already helpful. Avoiding launch week cracks is very important (and Sony DADC said that they were working on a new version which would be harder to crack, I'm guessing NieR: Automata uses that and not the old, cracked version)
A ton of games use Denuvo on PC without having any performance problems (or at least not caused by the anti tamper solution)
Indeed. I'd rather have Denuvo, which doesn't hamper my experience as a legit costumer, than something else like the old Starforce days.
This post is a dupe of mine (which I posted a few hours earlier)
How is that allowed?
They developed multiplatform titles in the past, I'm guessing that they stopped doing that because as a small team it's easier to focus on just one platform. Maybe now that current gen consoles are x86 it's not so hard to work on PS4+PC titles.
It's a single player game.
