Do I need to be online to play this game?

[Dandragon]

I want to play this game but i wont have internet. If I buy the game and try to play it offline will I be blocked? I don't wanna waste my time

You will still have to download updates like every other steam game. Plus here come people who will tell you how you have to be online 1000 hours per day because denuvo.

You'll have to validate the Denuvo files online before you can play, and Denuvo will occasionally make you do it again. In between those times, though, offline works.

I don't mind updates but will I always have to be online? Be online sometimes or will I only be checked for being online like once a week?

You might need to be online sometimes to launch the game. You can turn off your connection after this.

No. You don't need constant internet connection to run or play the game.
That's a misconception / blatant lie (mostly by salty pirates trying to boycott Denuvo)

It only requires a one time connection when:
Running the newly installed game
Having a major hardware change done to your PC (such as replacing your graphics card) or a major software change (such as installing a Windows update pack - those big ones that come out once every couple months)

I don't think you understood me. Sometimes means like 20 days or something like that.

Doesn't denuvo has to update tickets after 2 or 3 weeks? Genuinely interested, don't hate it, just think that it is kinda unnecessary, but let's not make it another denuvo thread.

^ Played lots of Far Cry Primal offline (when I had issues with my internet provider messing around) for months, never had any issues.

From what I (and others) playing Denuvo experienced, nope, it doesn't require internet connection.

Well I'll have to believe you on that, have played all my games with Internet enabled.

ok man, seen loads of liars in these forums so hopefully your being honest :D

Just for the download and playing it first time like said above.
After that play to your heart's content in offline mode.

You will need to be online to:

• Download and install the game;
  
• Activate your license thru Steam;
  
• Activate Denuvo;
  
• Download and install any future DLC or updates.

Notice how "play the game" is not on that list. :)

Games that require you to be online during play will (and have to) state up front that "a persistent internet connection is required to play". For examples: Diablo III, or World of Warcraft.
