Arguments that protection fights piracy seem pretty valid when you read through this thread.

Plenty of humpers buying this game because they can't pirate it.....

Now then, does protection also hurt people that purchase the game? Possibly, yes. I completely understand that point.

I pirate because I've been burnt too many times in the past (buying a game, and having it suck, or horrible support) and then wish I had tried the isodemo. Also, when I have cash, and have arrr'd a game, I'll buy it on Steam, or when its on sale for something under $59.99.

yep, day 1 piracy is the worst for publishers, and DRM that lasts longer than a day is a huge success, let alone 41 days they brag about their last version of this DRM.

I just don't see the urgency. If I hadn't gotten the game a month ago, i'd simply wait for the crack.

I don't understand the need to play games on release date. I personally wish i waited as usual, for the initial wave of patches and fixes.

I can wait. Plenty of other games to play.

I wasn't that excited for this anyways. Now if GTA5 takes too long to crack...I might only be able to hold off for a month tops.



This.



I can wait. I have all the time in the wooorld.

8-10 by my count. but i've only been challenged by 1, because I went to the catacombs before the demon portal.

Otherwise, all boss fights outside the first one where I was still learning the game, I completed on the first try. and I'm no darksouls pro, only finished each game once.

Yup, pretty much. As D_W says, it's day0/day1 piracy that is the most damaging - give it a month and the initial sales launch has almost completely dried up, any holdouts are just waiting for large sales. If publishers could keep their games from being pirated for a month, then that's an enormous win for them. This might sound like a very strange and unpopular opinion, but sometimes I actually think it *should* be like that. I sometimes think release groups should wait a month or so before releasing new games, it would help the industry enormously *and* still satisfy cracker needs to break protection .... and us pirates still get our freebies, just not on launch day.

Food for though, I guess.

Thanks, that sounds pretty rad. The boss fights in shadow of the colossus weren't that difficult either, but rather interesting as you had to find the weaknesses of the colossi, and sometimes even use the environment against them.

Does LoTF have anything similar to that? Or is it just dodge/block, hit, done?

Fuck that bullshit about "PC as original platfrom". It barely has support for basic, normal PC functions any pc game should have. Cunts.

Its straight up combat, no environment usage or anything like that.

i had two crashes first time you walk outside at start of the game, then was fine till demon world, had 2 crashes there, and now im constantly crashing in the demon world on the second visit there. had three crashes in the past hour. now its getting annoying, as i don't die at all, but have to fight everyone all over due to crashes...

if you didn't have any yet, you are probably not affected.

Just completed the game steam say 15.4 hours, 1.5-2 hours was redoing stuff after crashes. Mad

I liked how the game gives you boss fight stats. one fight wasn't included from before, and 2 more boss fights follow that one, so exactly 10 boss fights.

no spoilers, just don't wanna clutter the topic with 7 screenshots.

 Spoiler:
 




All three of the boss fights not included here, i've beaten on the first try, as shelter is just an OP spell. never even used health vials.

As you can see, most boss fights are a joke difficulty wise. even the champion was done on first try once i realized i went to fight him too early and came back at the right time.

I stand by my 70-75% score, despite the crashes. Enjoyable enough for a casual souls clone.

Whoever wants to play the game via family share, feel free to PM. no randoms though, known members .

Same here. I don't really care much until I've played a game and confirmed I like it these days. Can take or leave just about any upcoming titles since I have no faith in most devs. Metal gear solid V being an exception heh.

Piracy was much less of a problem before torrents. There was certain barriers of entry and most people had to rely on hard copys, a friend or p2p. Now you just go to pbay and click a magnet.
I miss the satisfaction of sharing stros with likeminded people for mad access but there's not much point in that anymore when you can just join a private tracker for almost the same kind of access anyway.
Still shits me when I see people with basically 0day access asking how to open a .01 file. Fucken lucky nubs Laughing

I on the other hand have developed a good sense of detecting crap and recognizing good material. I'm like the Neo of pre-ordering (dodging bullets like it was second nature Razz) I can't remember the last time I pre-ordered a game that turned out to be bad and I ended up disliking. Now that I think about it, it may have been Brink, and then again I still got several dozens of hours out of it before the multiplayer quickly died

I tend to be on the safe side though. Occassionally I let pass a game that ends up being pretty good, but then I just buy it a bit later on a good sale Smile

Well, all parties involved must contribute to a truce between scene\p2p release groups\gamers and publishers\developers

Publishers & developers vow to

- drop DLC bullshit
- stop false advertising
- optimize PC versions
- revise their pricing policy (US\EU)
- stop removing English language from games that are already region restricted

Scene\p2p groups vow to

- release a cracked version only in a month or so after a game is released
...

Otherwise there is no point.
