yes lets bloatware our games with even more DRM and instabilty so they get few extra copies sold, fc5 had like 3 layers of drm aids and still it got cracked, if its made by man, it can be cracked by man, instead of trying block it just accept some people are not going buy it, and work on better ways to entice people to buy and not pirate instead of punishing legit players with this garbage within there games

kevnb2195d ago (Edited 2195d ago )

I don't think the drm earned them a whole lot of extra sales, pirates all know it will get cracked eventually.

cleft52194d ago

Exactly right. Besides, several of the best selling games only have one thin layer of drm and was cracked before the game even released. I am talking about Skyrim and Fallout 4. Oh and the Witcher 3 is one of the top selling games and it has no drm if you buy it on GoG.

Instead of wasting time, money, and resources on drm that just makes the game run worse, invest in making the game more appealing to consumers. Its like Publishers look at games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, and The Witcher 3 and just gloss over the fact that if DRM meant a damn then these games would not be selling so well. DRM literally made Assassin's Creed Origins worse and that game was amazing.

These Publishers are so concerned/afraid of their game being pirated that they forget that if they make a great game then people will buy it. Far Cry 5 in particular should have double down on Arcade mode and mods. But no, instead they slap on draconian DRM, that of course gets pirated, which makes the game run worse on PC.

These Publishers just don't get it, you can put Denuvo 1 million on your game, eventually it will be pirated. Oh and guess what, that DRM doesnt make anyone new go out and buy your game. People who had no intention of buying Far Cry 5 still didnt buy Far Cry 5. Instead of trying to strong arm people into buying the game, just make an amazing game with the freedom to grow. Do that and it will sale. Yes, it will be pirated but it was going to be pirated in the first place. Nothing you as Publishers can do will ever stop your game from being pirated. Simply because their are people who have ZERO intention of ever buying your game in the first place. Those same people may pirated the game and like it enough to actually buy the game on sale or for full price. Oh and people do have consoles, its not exact the hardest thing to rent a game, borrow a game, or buy and return a game. Their are no shortage of ways for people to get their hands on any game they want without ever paying a penny for it.

supersonicjerry2194d ago

But the game is good. no matter what they do to entice people there will always be ones that will pirate

Servbot412194d ago

A proper online co-op mode goes a long way in preventing piracy, and most games stand to only benefit from it. Far Cry 5 almost did it right, but the stupid player tethering and no progress saved for player two really sucks.

Prince_TFK2194d ago

Even if it takes very long to crack, pirate can still buy denovu game very cheap elsewhere on a pirate site (believe it or not, FC5 costs around $5 there).

Drm (and Denovu for that matter) isn’t an effective way to stop pirate anymore.

TheDreamCorridor2194d ago

We need one of those super hardcore advanced AI systems to create anti-piracy.

Then no one will be able to crack games.

Just buy the game you cheap bastards

TheDreamCorridor2194d ago

All games should just be console-exclusive.

PC gaming is trash anyway.

nowitzki20042194d ago

I bet you dont know a thing about it

Doughhead2195d ago (Edited 2195d ago )

Piracy is the thorn in the side of the developer. I hate it. To those that spend all this time cracking DRM, you suck. I have a great idea for these cracked copies of the games, they can tell who cracked the game or who has a pirated copy, just make it so their entire game is littered with the words "Cheater, Kill me" or "Pirated game, Kill me" over their characters. They wont have a moments peace when playing online.

I know it wont work for all games, but it would be hysterical to see it with the games they have to be online for.

These seems like one of the best options for use with a PS5, high quality sound and design. However, you will likely need a dongle for use with many of your bluetooth devices such as an iPhone as it requires a LE signal.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The only purpose I could see me buying them is that they would be more comfortable to wear with PSVR2 compared to their Pulse/Pulse Elite over the head/over the ear cup headphones.

Babadook729m ago

Thats why I want them. Lower weight is a big plus for VR.

Their newer giga cart tech should make for even bigger games coming to the platform. I'm hoping for a Resident Evil collection with the first 3 games.

With Larian Out Of The Picture, Will The Baldur's Gate IP Be In Safe Hands?

Huzaifah from eXputer: "With Larian Studios washing their hands of the IP, what is the ultimate fate of the legendary Baldur's Gate series?"

RaidenBlack1d 3h ago

If anybody's gonna mention BioWare, then look at Archetype Entertainment, they're the new BioWare
or else
Obsidian is still a good choice but not independent anymore.

anast1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

No, WoTC is pivoting to mobile. They can use Larian's work to justify DnD Go and everyone will accept it.

RiseNShine1d 3h ago

Short answer, nope. Long answer, f*ck nope.

robtion9h ago

Correct answer. Most people don't realise that the companies that are still making good games using common sense and a customer focus are generally not American. They are from Poland, Belgium, Japan, or other countries that have not yet become completely corrupted by 'extreme capitalism'.

Before you down vote me into oblivion I am not anti-american. I just don't like greed and corruption which unfortunately seems to correlate with power.

I would guess the next Baldurs gate will probably be filled with GaaS.

Christopher1d 3h ago

Honestly, we're talking completely new engine and none of Larian's built-in stuff with regard to environments and the like that they had from their past divinity game. No one is going to have that just ready to go. So, they need to shop for a dev studio that has a past game that shows what they want.

Obsidian doesn't have that, maybe the closest being Dungeon Siege 3 or Pillars of Eternity, but those are very basic, not as open, very little environment related and altering capabilities. So, we're talking a step way back on what Larian delivered. Zero scene experience to line up with what was done in BG3. Okay conversation tree designs, but still needs more complexity.

inXile has Wasteland 3 as a base model engine, and I think that's better than Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian. But, still needs to be more open world, more environmental effects, and a much heavier rules set adaptation. But, not a bad overall engine as a base, but still a ton of work. Zero scene experience to line up with what was done in BG3. Needs a ton of work on that entirely.

Tactical Adventure did the Solasta game. Really good and more accurate as far as 5e rules than BG3. But, again, if the expectation is similar to what made BG3 a big hit, engine isn't designed for moving the camera, is a bit outdated in graphics, doesn't have in-game scene elements, and needs much better writers/voice actors.

Owlcat of pathfinder games is another choice, even though they've recently moved on to WH40k licensed games. Again, though, the engine is the biggest issue here to match up, but it's a much better option overall than Tactical Adventure. Another question is writers/story telling, as much of their overall story telling bits are very limited with a lot of random worldbuilding elements that are just +\- of some attributes.

TBH, no matter who takes over, it's just not going to be like BG3 much like how BG3 isn't at all like BG1/2. And BG3 was so successful because of how much Larian was able to put in with their engine and how focused they were on players having ridiculous control over the story being told. I just don't see the next BG being the same and depending on what it is, it might be good but I'm not as big of a reach as BG3. It's way more likely players are going to go into BG4 (or its spiritual successor if it moves away from Baldur's Gate and into Neverwinter or something like Plansescape) expecting much of what is in BG3 with more options, new and older characters, and the same level of control over what they're doing. If it doesn't have that, regardless of who makes it, it won't be as successful, IMHO.

exputers10h ago

Yes, I completely concur.

As good and talented as inXile and Obsidian are in their own specific way of making their particular games, none of them have Larian's attention to detail, dynamic worlds, and reactivity, so even if they end up making a new Baldur's Gate, it's going to be a significant step-down in terms of gameplay if not narrative.

CrimsonWing691d 2h ago

Probably not, but maybe… just maybe…
