Denuvo for Mass Effect: Andromeda

Who didnt get The Last of Us?... you. Who didnt get Red Dead Redemption on PC? You. Who got GTA V months after console users were finished and had moved on to greener pastures?... You. Who got  a crappy Arkham Knight port? ... Checking..... oh you again. Who got the mobile phone version of Civ? Downgraded version of Watch Dogs? I have to stop here because I dont have the time to educate you on the history of video games. Would you like to explain to me again how exactly your machine is superior to mine since devs seem to favour my machine over yours?


Yeah thats what I thought.

1) Yes we do, look at the numbers, they are out there.

2) Yes it does. Devs are always in favour of a platform they are going to lose LESS money on. Your argument is akin to an F-16 pilot and an F1 driver arguing who has the better mechanics for operating their vehicle. You picked the wrong side son. Consoles are where the money is at. Unless you count Star Citizen. I know its something you might not want to think about but its the truth. The only difference is that the developers cant say anything because they would lose what little money they already get from PC titles.

I'm not a fan on Denuvo but I hope they will use the newest version of it so everyone who want to get for free will have to wait at least couple weeks/months before someone crack it.

Ps. but to be honest I hope that this time they will invest more money in better MP protection as we all know we will have cheaters in almost every match.

You sound very naive my friend. 
Pirates do what they do because they can. The game can literally he perfect, and pirates will still pirate the game. The Witcher 3 was voted the best PC game ever. And yes it has been pirated a lot.

So? Those people would have never bought the game anyway.

Whilst probably a digression, I like playing games on my Xbox from my sofa because:

• No installation issues
• No 'dodgy ports'
• No worries about whether my machine will run it
• No Denuvo debate
• No piracy debate

First of all, I didnt say there wasnt a difference visually. I said a keyboard and mouse isnt superior over a controller. they both require two hands to operate.

Mods add longevity and not actual gameplay... yeah of course.....NOT.

I never said people dont care I said they need to admit the reasons why they get them on PC.

Consoles are not trying to emulate PC's. Upgrading your hardware has nothing to do with emulating anything. where are you getting this from? 4 iterations of Playstation in 20 years compared to how many new graphics cards? How many new processors? and you still get games released at 30 fps. what does that tell you? That developers dont respect you.

Sony started releasing old classics like Renegade etc on the PSN store. Emulations are theft by the way just so you're clear on that.

Again, im not saying your machine isnt more powerful. I'm saying your machine isnt superior to mine. Devs hate you. you are the absolute cancer of the gaming world. Look at the examples ive given you and tell me I'm wrong? Why if PC gaming was so much better and brought in so much more money would a dev like Rockstar choose not to bring a game to that platform? Piracy plain and simple. Criminals dont exactly carry a sack with the word swag written on it these days do they?

You sir, need to educate yourself of business (and law) instead of trouting the same old shit that people are sick and tired of hearing about how your PC is more powerful. Devs dont care about that shit when they are losing money to theft and illegal copyright infringments.

I play on a console because I dont care about 60 fps or how shiny stuff looks. Games relax me. You should try it sometime.

Indeed?
Please provide links supporting your statement.

Console or PC, DRM or no, forums rules and expectations still apply folks. Do not use personal attacks against other users. Keep it clean.

while this pc masterrace stuff is really getting annoying, there is an important thing to say:
People like what they like and right now in the current industry, its a fact that pc gamers are screwed over and over again by bad porting, but in many cases its "just" the controls and in other cases it gets borderline unplayable.

Fact is that companies make most money on consoles but that has nothing to do with piracy. in the last 2 years piracy became somewhat of a joke due to copy protections and other tricks (like ubisoft destroying their savegames when its a pirated game). piracy, especially with denuvo now is nothing more but a stigmata and an excuse to ride on the assumption train to say that pc gamers are all pirates.
yes there are people who pirate, but there also are many people who pirate and little later buy the game, granted its still piracy but they still support their game developer.

there was a study and if i find it i will provide the link later, that GAME piracy is taking a huge step back. piracy was a trend over 10 years ago but the mostly younger people grew up and can afford to buy games now was the TL:DR version of that article. In fact the only real problem with piracy is with movies and TV series, thus netflix and other streaming platform were born and they had an impact, since many pirates wanted to support what they loved to watch.


now onto the pc/console thingy:

Consoles dominate the market, thus PCs are only as good as the current consoles.
if there was a graphics card that adds 1000% performance from the current best performung GPU, it would simply have no reason to exist.  before the new console gen was released the PC hardware stagnated for years. my hardware was 5 years old when the next gen came out and i was still able to play almost all games on their highest settings with no fps impact whatsoever. So even if PC people (like myself) dont like it, we are dependand on console development. This pc masterrace thing is a joke and it was inteded to be a joke, but people went over the top.

when a new console hardware is released, you as a pc player have to be happy  because you finally dont get year old technology in games. yes PC hardware can be better but its no use to be better when the softwaretechnology is old. and the fps settings are purely a habit. personally i like watching movies on ~35 fps because its displayed like this in cinemas as well, so i think that watching a movie on a 100hz TV is ugly and unnatural. as a console player you are limited to 30 fps, but 30 fps is enough for many games (although i must say, dark souls 3 with 60 fps looked way more beautiful )

there are downsides to PC and there are downsides to console, yet these systems are intertwined..... so i dont get all the hate. Is it exclusive gaming? Is it forcing your will onto other because you think you are right? A person can make their own choices and telling people to be wrong without an argument that is not "my schlong is longer than yours" is just wrong and disrepsectful. but then again, the online gaming trend shows that people are just disrespectful in general.


TL;DR: Piracy isnt what it once was, main problem is not with gaming but movies. PCs & Consoles are dependant so a masterrace discussion is wasting time.

I have played all the game that have been released using Denuvo as DRM and NEVER had any performance issues. I really believe this was a myth created by people with computers that aren't strong enough to get the game to run on Ultra Settings and stable 60 fps or the game was simply badly optmized at release and they were blaming on Denuvo.

When Inquisition was released I used to have some frame drops, but nothing very aggressive, it was like from 60 frames to 55 or 52 and that's considering I was playing on Ultra Settings, Rise of the Tomb Raider never gave me any performance issues and it was released with Denuvo, even before the game got its updates I was running it at 60 frames even with the PureHair effects activated.
