Ok so I have Dying Light but I don't have The Following, cause I had it from before The Following existed. At what point during the playing of Dying Light do you encounter expansion content? Does it add anything to the main game or is it a totally separate thing? Basically trying to decide if I can hold off on it before I play

Is there a recent change of some sort to guides - you now have to own the game to create or rate guides?

Someone was asking about darkwood a week or so ago. I've played about 9 days of it and it is fantastic so far. It's really a less-is-more kind of experience where the muted presentation makes all the surreal stuff way more creepy, and disguises how incredibly good the sound is. Anytime I'm just starting to get comfortable with it, something else happens that takes me off guard. I love that it's not a "survival" game in that you have to quiet food and water bars nagging at you every 5 minutes (there is no hunger or thirst), but in that you have to make sure you have enough gasoline to keep the lights on each night, because god only knows what will happen if you don't. The second night was completely silent until something started banging on my door. The door was completely unlocked and unbarricaded, but the banging went on for a minute and a half and then there was silence for the rest of the night.

Please don't talk about politics in this thread. This includes mentioning political preferences of video game creators/reviewers. Anybody who sees something like this being mentioned please report it. People itt just can't be trusted with handling a topic like this in a civilized manner so it's off the table from now on. There are subforums better suited for this on SA, go there instead. I added this to the OP.

About the Sonic Mania thing... Honestly there's just people who want to play it offline. It had an always online restriction and now that that's gone (or being removed) the negativity has somewhat decreased. But in another scummy move, Sega had sent free copies of Sonic 1 as apology for Mania's 2 week delay. Apparently that was tacked on to Mania purchases, so anyone who recieved the gift cannot refund the game because they've owned it for exactly two weeks.

I don't understand why anyone bothers with anti-piracy things since they don't work. It wouldn't surprise me if Sonic Mania was already available for anyone to pirate. It wouldn't surprise me if it came available before the game was released. I have had okay luck with anti-piracy protections; the only problems I've had in the last few years has been with any and all Ubi Soft games. I don't know if it's specifically their servers that the game has to connect to or what, but often times it will just shove me out of the game with some obscure coded error that I've learned has some vague relation to anti-piracy protection. The solution was a hacked .exe. I don't think that's piracy, is it? But in any case, doing that disabled the anti-piracy thing which enabled me to play the game I bought. I remember a decade ago having all sorts of hell with SecureROM and the like. SecureROM games used to cause my DVD ROM to refuse to eject my God drat disc.

DRM doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be enough of a deterrent that more people will break down and buy the game instead of trying to torrent it. 2FA on your phone wouldn't stop a particularly intrepid hacker from getting into your bank account, but it's probably enough of a roadblock that he'll just move onto the next sucker with unsecured information.

Back when retail was still a thing I used to get cracks or save an .iso for games I legit own just so I don't have to look for the CD each time I want to play it. That's the point really, DRM is often inconvenient, and at least in regards to myself I find the best anti piracy measure is to make going legit as easy and comfortable as possible. I agree with the "games as a service" idea, even on steam I don't see myself as paying for the game, but for automatic patches and easy access to my saves across devices.

Yeah, the entire reason Steam brought back PC gaming, as Newell said many times, was that it provided a platform that's better and easier to use than cracked games. You pay and make sure you get all the latest patches, updates, freelc, or whatever that you just won't get with pirated copies. That's the whole thing, that's the "service" part. Adding even more DRM on top of that is pointless and I get why people are angry about it. The sales played a huge part in that but that ship has sailed apparently Terminally Bored fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Aug 31, 2017 |

I'm a PC gamer anyway, but at least once and probably more times the reason I bought a Steam version of a game as opposed to the PS4 version is because I am a lazy motherfucker and cannot tolerate changing god drat discs to play different games. I remember when I brought home the DVD version of Baldur's Gate, instead of opting for the six-disc version. It was like ten loving years later until DVDs became a regular thing for PC games. Anyone remember that? Why did it take so long?

Yeah, I pirated years ago because having a no cd check alone was excellent. Then steam came and made it even more convenient to play by the rules than piracy so thus began my straight shootin' pc gamer lifestyle.

Anyone remember that? Why did it take so long? DVD-ROM drives were expensive and not nearly as ubiquitous as CDs until the mid-2000s. Disk space was also at much more of a premium back then so you might have chosen to suffer some disc switching over a hefty 5GB install.

It was also a little chicken and egg - why finance a DVD edition that's going to have low sales because very few people have DVD readers, and conversely why buy a DVD reader when there's very little to use it for?

download caps are more of a monopoly thing, in areas in the US with at least somewhat healthy local markets there are no data limits, and oftentimes competitive data rates. unethical companies are also able to gouge customers with poor telecommunications infrastructure

Main reason for third party DRM is that the first week, where people are working to break denuvo, is also the week when the game has maximum hype pushing people to buy it. The vast majority of sales happen during this time. Steamworks can be cracked near instantly so they need a better way to protect that sales period. Denuvo is literally just a way of saying "if you want to play this for free you'll have to wait" which is enough to drive a lot of potential pirates to buy the game. Otherwise, by the time they're able to play it, it won't be new and cool anymore.

Infinity Gaia posted:My personal take on that stuff is basically that video reviews and let's plays and crap like that should really fall under the umbrella of being able to enjoy a work without necessarily having to like the person who made it. For instance, Lovecraft was INCREDIBLY racist, but that doesn't stop me from reading and liking his books. I just take that same principle and apply it to other forms of entertainment, because that means I can enjoy more things instead of constantly having to be on the lookout for any impropriety by the people who produce those things.

Lots of devs/publishers don't bother patching the DRM out so in a few years people's steam libraries will have singleplayer games they can't play, GFWL-style.
