Now I'm curious for story spoilers. Any character from the previous game appear?
 
Looking more and more like a pass for me or at least not a day one purchase as more reviews come out.

The dealbreaker revelations for me at least is that it's apparently quite short with the main quest and all side quests being around 25-30 hours for 100% completion.

And performance is apparently fuck awful to the point where people with 4080s are dipping into the high 20s low 30s in crowded areas/cities which is completely unacceptable.

Shame, I was pretty fucking hype for this.
 
Watched the IGN review and I think I'm going to wait for DLC/Addon whatever. A bit disappointed to be honest since I played the first game on the PS3 and later PC. I consider DD a diamond in the rough and one of my favourite games. DD2 seems to be a reboot with the same issues that the original had over a decade ago. Camera, performance issues, wonky main story etc. Really no idea what the idea with the vocations was this time. At least we got another decent game in the franchise.
 
The only question I want to ask, how long until it's cracked? I'm betting a week at minimum, would be great since Crapcom has been doubling down with double the DRM. Imagine being that coomer who installed that nude Chun-Li mod and knowing your actions snowballed into Crapcom taking a stance against modding so hard they're fucking up older game they don't even support anymore. I'm also incredibly interested to see how much the performance changes if people manage to remove the DRM, given how much of a problem Denuvo is with performance. Given that Sniperwoof said that people are chugging with fucking 4080s it's probably just...like that, Denuvo or not. How do you manage that?

Probably going to be a while all things consider. Your best bet is a austic tranny and if he is fighting with anyone else that week.
 
I'd say that quest quality is more important than length. There's tons of game that bloat the "time to 100%" with shitty quests.

The only person that cracks denuvo now is "empress" and that tranny hasn't done much at all lately and won't do it unless people donate hundreds of dollars to him. Not to mention after a crack they rarely crack updates or DLC if those include denuvo as well which they often can like RE4RE.
I wouldn't get my hopes up for denuvoless before capcom removes it themselves, Lies of P and other games never got cracked until it was taken off but some older games have never been cracked either.

This sounds a little low compared to what I've read(around 50 hours depending on side quests and how much endgame content you do). These are game journos and ecelebs so the full spectrum of retarded LA person to autistic minmaxer is in effect.

Apparently the biggest performance issues have to do with the game being severely CPU restrained and populated city areas halving the fps on PC and console. Not something that could be fixed by gpu driver optimizations or dropping all the graphics settings to low. Might buy on Steam and use the 2 hour to see if it runs acceptably on my computer.

I think the only person who's actively cracking the latest Denuvo is still that mental case "Empress" (still pretended to be a woman). There's someone else but he's cracking mostly sports games which have a really old Denuvo version. But if the Denuvo version Crapcom is using is ancient as well, consider it day 1 cracked. Otherwise, will take a while, look at MHRise.
 
This does not look anywhere near as good as it should to require a CPU made in the last year to hit 60 fps consistently.
 
Just watched a review by some Wil Wheaton lookalike (who wasn't a fan of the first game). The guy emphasized how easy it is to miss side quests and how dynamic the enemy encounters feel.

I'm pretty bummed about the absence of Mystic Knight (although Crapcom will probably have some DLC/Expansion with more vocations if the game sells well enough) and the clothing "system" being removed.

The game seems really solid, I'll probably wait a few months before buying it though.

Not to sound like a faggot, but man, I really hope there's a way to disable/remove or blacklist the eceleb pawns, it's pretty immersion breaking to encounter this cancer in the wild.

Also, Woolie from SBFP? really scraping the bottom of the barrel, might as well put DSP in the game.
 
Journos saying that this game is similar to the first like it's a bad thing just makes me want to play it more so gj journos.

It is your duty to Brine every eceleb, Guts, or child pawn you see in the wild.

Oh, I know all about Empress' antics, or rather strangely lack-there-of. I haven't heard anything regarding cracking a while so I was mostly wondering if someone else finally decided to give cracking Denuvo a shot. You're right about them rarely cracking after release, because that's just a whole 'nother headache. I doubt however Capcom will stop their DRM nonsense anytime soon so guess I won't play DD2 for a long time.

Amazing how optimization is thrown out the window when it comes to AAA games. Intentional most likely, because they can give the excuse of "just get better hardware." Of course they don't say it unlike Todd "just buy new parts dude" Howards, because they rather tech elitists to say it for them so they don't get flak for it. They most likely get a cut of something when someone buys a shiny new CPU/GPU/Etc. just to play their game. Tech companies are all in the same circles with publishers/devs/etc.

I've seen the benchmarks and hype is kill.
I simply refuse to play ~30 fps or less on some unoptimized japslop.
What's even more infuriating is that Capcom released a statement in which they said that they were aware that the game is dogshit on PC. They just didn't give a fuck and went ahead with it.
And if indeed the issue is the CPU bottleneck, good fucking luck with that. No driver or you fiddling with the graphical settings would result in any meaningful fps increase.
I'll download it tomorrow, check myself anyway, refund it and leave a negative review.

It's utterly bizarre because the port of DD1 is pretty damned good. What change in leadership happened since then and now?

Hope some modders bypass the DRM (again) and add some code wizardry that helps with performance. Doubt it though. Would also like to mention that a bit ago some Twitter user did a bunch of research on that Enigma DRM, it turns out that it may be just made from one guy in Russia. Just...one guy, fooling this big ass company into believing it's this widely used, multi-developer DRM that'll surely prevent any and all attempts at cheating. I say cheating because the enigma developer strictly believes that all complaints about wanting to mod your game, even single player games, are in fact just cheating and should not be allowed even on old single player games or some shit like that. However the user deleted all those posts for "mental health reasons" (I believe they were a tranny so a stiff breeze could mentally obliterate them), probably got harassed by Crapcom shills or some other hogwash...

Here we have the Enigma CEO being a massive faggot, deleted the thread too after the shitstorm. Would also like to point out how a prominent mod tool developer also put out some information on it, make of what he wrote as you will:
I think the reason is simple, the same reason the Helldivers 2 developers added their shitty anti-cheat, purely to prevent players from circumventing buying their shitty microtransactions. For Capcom it's more "we don't want players using free skin mods when they should be buying our skins!" rather than "we don't want players to bypass our shitty battlepass but we don't give a shit if they're actually cheating with unlimited ammo/spawning in mechs/etc." Games are not meant for customers with brains and criticisms anymore, they are solely for consoomers who'll shill their product until their death or until a popular internet icon says it's not good.

DDDA was released in 2015, so any notably shit Capcom moments (which are all over the place) you can check who was in charge of what here. But it could be all sorts of reasons aside from office musical chairs.

Someone was saying that this violates sanctions against Russia, no idea how true, but it'd be amusing if you could with enough evidence report Capcom for using this software. Not sure if that's a DoD or FTC thing...
