    I just read that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has apparently said it’s gonna use Denuvo. It’s the first time a game that’s been on my radar has used it to my knowledge. I saw some comments where people said they’ll just wait a year until it’s removed and then buy it. Fuck that. You screw me over at release and I’ll just pirate it. I still haven’t finished the first game so waiting until it’s cracked is no issue.

      I’m willing to bet most people haven’t finished the first one like you, because that game is fucking boring as hell. I know that’s why I never finished it lol. Historical accuracy =/= fun.

        I found it pretty enjoyable, but never finished because the plot begins to drag towards the midpoint of the game. I actually really enjoyed the combat and the layered systems, but once you get to a point where you can just hardcore train your character for a few weeks, the game quickly loses all challenge.

        I honestly find their “historical accuracy” claims kinda comical. Yeah it’s better than most games for sure, but it still only pays lip service to accuracy in a lot of aspects for the sake of the game’s story. Henry has a completely fantastical rise from blacksmith’s apprentice to de facto military commander.

        No, I did really enjoy it. I just don’t spend an enormous amount of time gaming, and the time I do spend is most often in completely different genres that I can play with friends while chatting on Discord, like RTS (Age of Empires mostly) and survival crafters (like Raft and DST).

      Yeah, there’s so many games now, I can easily fill time before games are actually in a release state… a year after they actually released.

      If they add denuvo they are clearly not very confident their game is worth the price they are asking, so why should we believe it’s worth that much?
