Safe files from a cracked version

[ratfromthemoon]

Hey guys I know this is a weird question but can the current Steam version of the game read a safe file from the cracked version by Baldman?

I pirated the game a few days a go to check it out and I can see why it obviously deserves money, but I don't really want to replay from the beginning again so if this game can read a cracked save file (like The Witcher 3 did for me), it will be great.

Thank you.

I imagine it can, although you need to use a save file editor to change the user ID stored in the save files, otherwise the game will show them as "unused."

Well I have to consider the value of something before buying it, don't I? Especially for a game with all kinds of reivews about bad optimization like this. But yeah I get you.

That stopped being a valid excuse in the ears of most players when Steam added the refund option, just so you know. The two hour gameplay window required to get a refund is enough to test the performance and optimization of almost all titles nowadays, including NieR:Automata.

Lol 2-hour refund window is a joke nowadays. There are too many titles that are a good 2 hours start and 10 hours of trash all the way till the end for me to take that risk so nope, piracy first, money later. I'm not saying piracy is good, I'm saying the 2-hour window for me is not enough to make a decision, especially when that decision is £39.99.

The window is intended to see how products *perform* on your system. For all the other stuff (you know, the actual content of the game) you have reviews, Let's Plays, etc, etc.

The consumer have a ton of different options available to him to make an informed purchase decision long before he hands over the money. The fact that you still feel the need to pirate and play games more than 2 hours suggests that you don't use the tools available for you.

It gets a bit tiring after a while hearing the same excuse of "Oh, I need to try the game for [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100] percent before I know whether it's worth paying for! Who knows, I might otherwise regret my purchase decision!" And yes, it's one of the most used "excuses" nowadays, with the time "required" only different between pirates and games.

You know what I'm not gonna even argue this with someone else again. You're right, I don't use all the tools blah blah blah congratulations you have convinced me to never use piracy to try a game ever again despite my sincere intention to actually buy them later.

I will never forget your wise words. You have shown me exactly how to spend my hard-earned money. Thank you, have a good life, sir.
