Not a fan of the denuvo choice. The price is rough, too. No chance I pre-order for these reasons, despite how much of a fan I am of the original.

DRM + DEI + death of co-op = NOPE

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Yeah will buy it physical for ps5

[GrumpyPirate™]

Whelp there goes that purchase. I was hugely looking forward to this ever since i played Dragons Dogma 1 but if it has denuvo i wont touch it with a 10ft pole. Absolutely disgusting way to treat your paying customers, shame on you and your anti consumer self-defeating greed.

Yeah, I was excited for DD2 too - I really enjoyed DD. My excitement died when I noticed that it came with Denuvo. It's going to be a hard pass.

Denuvo ? sad, saw the trailer, though "fun, going to play it"... Arrive on the page.. Denuvo... Nope. De-wishlisted.

Will take a look if they do the DRM right and remove it once the "initial sale" protection is past. But I guess that I will be as 'greedy' as them, wait long enough for a sale AFTER the removal and reward them with only a part of what they would have earned if they had followed the path of Elden Ring or other successful games that did not rely on turdish DRM.

looking at other capcom games
denuvo will possibly be removed few months after release so i would recommend to wait a bit

I don't understand what is the point of Denuvo, it punishes people who buy the game and it gets cracked on the second day anyway. It is a case where a cracked version of a game has better user experience than a legit one. Absurd.

a lot of people. Denuvo is BAD which you'd know if you did even 20 seconds of research.

Generally takes a few weeks at the very least actually and it does help sales, despite the vocal minority who ♥♥♥♥♥ about it being there saying they won't buy the game. Also when it's implemented properly it doesn't have any actual impact on user experience or performance

There is no proof that it helps sales at all and in my case in particular it hurts sales as i don't buy games with Denuvo. Also if you actually check most games with denuvo are usually cracked around 48 hours after release. Please don't spread lies.

Lol if it didn't actually help sales why would publishers still use it? they're not going to release their market research and sales info to appease children crying on the internet.

And no, most games with Denuvo are not cracked or have Denuvo bypassed within 48 hours. Most games take a couple of weeks. Two weeks for Hogwarts Legacy and Empress even said that it's getting more difficult, not less. Also, the below article touches on performance, stating that it didn't actually impact performance in HL. The comparison video that people like you try to use that showed a difference was in fact a result of the Steam overlay not playing nicely with the game lol

There are plenty of examples of day 1-2 cracks of denuvo, it tends to wax and wane, right now denuvo is doing fairly well but there are enough examples that if a group decides to crack the game they will crack the game and usually within days. It is just often a question of that they cant be arsed.

As for "vocal minority" I dont think you realize just how many people directly avoid games with denuvo even without saying anything, and even among those who "dont care" there are plenty disgruntled because it is a subjectively worse product.

In the end it is simply a punishment for paying customers because we are the ones that would be buying the game. Those that arent interested or cant buy it simply wait instead.

Denuvo is a classical example of a lose/lose scenario. I want to buy the game and play it, but now i cant. They want my money, now they wont get it. So no one gets what they want.
