how can I download this game legally for free?

[hollyscahill70]

I refuse to spend 60 euros on a game that refused to work for me when I purchased it here on Steam (unless it goes on sale, though my internet was bad at the time I tried to launch it, so whether that was the case and Square Enix came up with the ridiculous idea that you need Internet to play Valkyrie Elysium, like the mobile game Valkyrie Anatomia). Is there anyway, legally, that I can download this game for free, in a way that won't harm my laptop, which is Windows 10? Although I have downloaded the amazing game Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume onto my DS emulator on my Android tablet and it was OK.

Wait for a sale?

please grow up -- be a big boy and pay for a game you want to play. if you want to get a discount, wait for the game to get old.

first things first, I am a woman, not a man, secondly, if I do wait for a sale and buy the game, will it work with Windows 10?

Torrents but risk malware. The game just came out, so getting it for "free' good luck, if you wait 10+yrs then maybe. Game works on windows 10, had no issues, no stutter and no crashes. But I HIGHLY recommend getting it on sale, nothing higher then half off, at least right now..

What do you mean it "refused to work for you"? You clicked play and nothing happened? What are your specs?

[hollyscahill70]

i'm not sure, but I know when it refused to work, my Internet was bad at the time due to a storm and strong winds, so that probably affected things.

Right, but what happened when you clicked play? Did a window come up or did nothing happen at all?

[hollyscahill70]

something did happen, but after the autosave screen it froze on a blank screen and a message came up about a FatalError instead of the main menu screen. and why is the game not on sale when the Autumn sale is on?

That's simply because there is no way you can download a game that costs $60, legally on the Internet for free without risk.

"The only way you can get this game for free, is by someone gifting it to you."

But then again as you said, you've purchased the game before but it doesn't work, so what makes you think any different from downloading the game from somewhere else.

Because you're just asking how to legally get games for free that you can't legally get for free. Simple as that. There's no answer for you beyond "You can't".

I also don't think the game requires an internet connection beyond the standard Denuvo stuff, so at install and after big hardware/OS changes. Because the game has Denuvo it is unlikely for the near future that you will be able to find the game elsewhere even illegally.

If you read the system requirements it will tell you that yes the game will work on Windows 10. I played on Windows 10.

I have a friend who played it and tried it, nothing exceptional or innovative, repetitive and boring, not worth the money.
Square Enix now makes games just to make money, a mixture of meaningless mechanics remixed in every title released.
I wanted to get it too but I changed idea.

10 dollar for dlc, one weapon!? Crazy....

that's ok. also, what happened to the steam instant play? is it in any of the settings? i don't have very fast internet speed so I would love to be able to play games while they are downloading.

No news since the initial patent last year I don't think. Fwiw this game isn't an extremely large download (17GB, so not tiny but far from some of the larger games out there).
