I'm actually a bit concerned that DS3 will not include many of the improvements DS2 made over DS1.

I don't see it.
Of course, an actually working anti-tamper solution is very problematic in itself, from a preservation and modding perspective.
- Denuvo doesn't rely on any driver-level component, so it circumvents the compatibility/longevity issues of Securom in that regard.
- Denuvo actually works.

and hopefully not the new Starforce / Sony rootkit.
Well, I compare Securom to Starforce, I just hate that stuff.
At least Denuvo seems "ok", it's not invasive as Securom, there are no limited activations etc.
Still, I hate all drm.

By far the shittiest thing about Denuvo is how completely oblivious they are about their shitty products in the past
Denuvo has no kernel-level/privileged components.
Yeah it just feels like a giant step backwards, I do hope they didn't go full bloodborne as I like my RPG mechanics from souls including a big amount of variety in weapons.
I want a good aRPG not a good action game with a few RPG mechanics.
EDIT:I might add that DS2 is my favourite game in the series. Love DS1 but for other things mostly.
Can Denuvo cause issues in the future with operating systems that don't exist today (but that will have support for existing Windows software)? Does it work with Linux emulators? I'm always very suspect of these things but if it works as DRM (as it seems to do) and has literally no drawbacks, I guess I might be fine with it.
Actually no, I still won't like it.
That's hard to say with any certainty.
What can be said definitely is that it doesn't have no drawbacks, because any anti-tamper solution will prevent modding (which can also in turn hamper preservation, quite a few old games can only be run on modern systems with community fixes after all).

The more prevalent Denuvo gets, the easier it will to analyze its working, though. Even if it might not produce a method to crack games in any interesting time frame, it could be used to circumvent it years down the line.
I say this, because as far as I understand, their strongest asset currently is the fact that no one seems to understand how exactly it works, only basic principles. In cryptographic terms, the best systems provide security by assuming the attacker knows everything but the (private) key and even then you can always bruteforce a key by going through all possibilites (and use intercepted encrypted messages, which is not the same as "breaking" it). I'm sure the same holds for Denuvo, assuming they even use cryptographic methods.

Here I am, feeling like a badass as I slice through giant Oxes that used to outright obliterate me...I enter a chamber full of sorcerers casting spells that hurl tornadoes and suck me in towards it.
No problem, I should be able to do it. Oh...there are 2 gorecyclops chained at each side too. Ok, I just have to make sure to avoid hitting them so they don't break their chains :V
Wait, what?! Random enemy spawn? Garm? Three of them? How hard could it be?
*Party gets rekt in 2 minutes as I gouge out one of them*
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Play Dragon's Dogma!

STEAM | February 2016 - Grief.exe has stopped working.
Sounds like a nightmare :O
I dunno man, some of the Acer and AOC models are dirt cheap.
Played an hour of Evoland 2 and am really liking it. Feels like a proper and fun game as opposed to evoland 1 which felt like a techdemo for Evoland 2.
Are you calling 720p a nightmare? Get off your high horse you elitist!

Probably using TN-panels, a technology that should be outlawed in 2016.

Well they are not DRMs exactly. They are just content delivery systems and anti-tamper protection.

Well you can't play the game without them so it's managing your rights to your digital item.
Makes sense, I expect most AAA publishers to use it from now on.
I found DS3 to be way better than DS2 at least. But a Souls game being better than DS2 isn't that difficulty imo.

It depends on what you like in games. Oxenfree's strengths are having the player soak in the atmosphere of the environment and its snappy dialogue system that is perfectly suited for a group of teens exploring a place they probably shouldn't. I love that kind of stuff and the game's length being around 5 hours fit my needs perfectly (weekend completion? Yes please) so I would absolutely say it was worth the $20 for me. I'm not so sure it will be for most people though. I'm having trouble suckering some of my Steam Familing Sharing family to check it out
Are you from the future?

That Evilore post is all kinds of wonderful. It actually makes me excited to go play the rest of Witcher 3 and has me ready to pick up Bloodborne on the next sale. It was pretty obvious that Bloodborne was locked in for GOTY on this site after the multiple absurd threads about the game getting robbed. People weren't going to let it lose again.

I mean you could still call that post wonderful just because of the vernacular that he used :V

It's a great price for it, people should try it.
Love the age aspect in this. I just finished a battle with two 67 year old greyhaired female caberjacks leading the front line. Retirement age? Bah!

Durante, have you played Trails ever since you switched to Win10?
For some reason, ingame framelimiter doesn't seem to work on Win10, resulting in game running at 125 fps (with obvious stuttering on 60/120 Hz monitors)
Forcing the VSync from NVIDIA control panel doesn't work at all.
Doing so with Afterburner/RTSS combo works, but results in random juddering (despite Afterburner not reporting any frametimes higher than 16.7 ms).
I must say I'm stumped by this. Not much help from XSEED here as well, other than suggesting to enable Hardware Vertex Shader on Steam forums (which doesn't help at all).
Just curious if you have the same problem or if you have any idea what could cause this.

I have the same problem and have just been playing with it like that. Would like a fix though.

Bloodborne won :3
Nah I didn't make an avatar bet, just felt like making the avatar like that.
Sombreros are IN his year.

As someone who did play it- technical issues were only negative for me.
don't know how much I can/cannot say more than that.
excited for the beta on PC

Man, I knew Dogg couldn't wait to share details but to just leak footage of the beta? Bad Dogg!
In the few gameplay footage I noticed UI looking similar to Bloodborne and player movement looking more akin to Dark Souls 1 than Dark Souls 2.

Not a fan of that. Steam DRM should be the only one. All others hurt customers more than pirates. Boo.

There's nothing worse than making a Level 5 Badge and getting nothing but the common emotes.
