It looks like a genuinely fun game, scantily clad character aside. But until it's Denuvo free I ain't paying.

I liked it. It's honestly refreshing to see an action game with a parry system that didn't shove in a bunch of Souls tropes for no reason.
What still blows my mind is that it's perfectly viable to just shoot bosses to death when the gameplay is otherwise all about sticking swords into things and dodging/parrying. Pretty solid balance of skill reward while still letting people who have shit reflexes have fun.
Exploration is kind of hit and miss but it's also largely optional. I found myself not really caring about most of the chests if it wasn't the type that had an outfit in it.
I will buy it when it's on sale. 70€ is too much IMO
Patient gaming ftw
At least there are no micro transactions and the port is solid too. But agreed, the game prices are insane. I'll wait too.
There are.
The game has multiple cosmetic(?) DLC, like the Nier and Nikke crossovers, but for some reason they aren't on the Steam Store page like for every other game. They're included in the Complete Edition, and if you click on that bundle you can select and potentially buy each one separately.
That’s very disappointing, given it’s infected with anti-consumer malware. People never learn.
Does it even matter anymore if you're not running Linux?
If you expect to own the things you pay for and not have them taken away from you whenever the other party wants, then yes, it matters quite a bit.
The point being you're running the Spyware OS 11 and then wondering why even uninstalling doesn't remove one app entirely, possibly on the same machine with three different apps with universal mic access and Respondus for school.
And to top it all off, Microsoft can already brick the whole damn thing with ease.
182k as of right now, highest CCU of a single player Sony game on Steam and it's not even the weekend. Sex sells.
Glad people are enjoying it I guess. It's definitely not for me.
Its funny cause when you read comments literally anywhere it would make you think no ones gonna buy it cause denuvo... If anyone ever needed more proof about the vocal minority in an echo chamber syndrome this sure is it right here.
No, it just shows that the vast majority of gamers are brainless sheep who just blindly consume media so long as the media is convenient with no regard to the things happening behind the scenes and how it impacts the community as a whole. Not to even mention the gooner bait and overly sexualized character attracting simple-minded teens and young adult men that are completely ignorant to the issue to begin with.
You're not making the point you think you're making.
You can be mad about it but both these things are true. The online community hating on denuvo is a vocal minority. You're not wrong to hate on it but it doesn't matter because the majority are the horny sheep you described. This shit still sells. Its just like mtx - it was obviously awful to enthusiast gamers but goddamn the general pop just dove fucking headfirst into buying that shit so now we're stuck with it
Okay? What's your point? No one was saying it isn't true. I am, in fact, specifically criticising it because it is true.
Dude, you started your comment with "No" and ended it with "You're not making the point you think you're makong". That sounds a lot like disagreement to me.
But personally, I don't completely agree with OP either.
You seem like you're having a bad day. Are you doing okay?
