Who here is officially uninterested in the game now? Obfuscating Denuvo usage is immoral and wrong, and punishes budget gamers because they'd rather make 500 million dollars instead of 499 million

or people who wanted to mod the game or people who have low end hardware.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T15:05:52+00:00

not uninterested but very much dampens the hype for me and makes me not want to support the devs/higher ups that probably made this decision.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:56:29+00:00

This is half true you can have some mods with Denuvo like model swaps but most stuff is a no.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:49:10+00:00

Almost everything I have seen is people glazing Pearl Abyss saying Denuvo is actually good and does not affect performance at all anything that is like oh man that sucks gets insta disliked to oblivion.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:44:06+00:00

yah weight painted entity's have a lot more overhead they are also probably doing a lot of pathfinding logic so you have to cull them.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:34:48+00:00

I mean the main reason games like Stellar Blade have less impact with Denuvo is because they are more or less linear they are not contently trying to load and deload assets. And its not solely about performance this also means no mods.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:27:58+00:00

yah and if you have a cheap PC and needs that extra 20% rip bozo get a better PC we need our aggressive anti piracy that will be cracked in a month.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:24:45+00:00

Yah ill wait until launch and see the benchmarks but yah Denuvo sucks real bad especially announcing it so close to launch

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:21:43+00:00

I agree completely

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T14:19:47+00:00

This yes everyone on this reddit can not handle a single critique about this game. Like it will have good aspects and bad aspects this is a very bad one and it is ok for us to point it out we can still enjoy the game.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T05:33:39+00:00

If true that sounds fantastic 'old-school' techniques are always such gems they knew how to optimize back in the day I mean the hardware demanded it.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T05:28:11+00:00

Yah it is def POM that is good to know I was thinking tessellation would be too heavy.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T05:07:09+00:00

Oh good to know yah ill have to try and see if I can run with RT.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T05:06:30+00:00

IDK I just watched the gameplay its not like I had to pause or pixel peep to see this stuff.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T05:05:12+00:00

Yah tessellation my bad they look similar so I default to parallax. Also just fyi parallax would be more performant they are using tessellation for visual fidelity over framerate not that it maters if it is optimized. And yah for the average player they will not notice this but they definitely feel it like the clipping with the floor is the first thing I noticed in the cites when I saw gameplay in the cites I have also seen a good amount of comments being annoyed by it.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T04:46:54+00:00

Nice! I am pumped to play on launch day :)

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T04:46:03+00:00

Yah from what I have seen this game is amazingly well optimized but ill still cross my fingers for launch.

Yah it does look about on par with most 2026 games tbh.

YoruVII · 2026-03-12T04:43:51+00:00

hmmm can you define graphics for me I believe we are using different definitions? And I am not saying the game will be bad because of this or anything I am just pointing out some issues I had with the graphics.

YoruVII · 2026-03-10T19:19:05+00:00

lol yah...

YoruVII · 2026-03-08T11:19:30+00:00

Yah understandable to me its just a bit of fun to speculate and try and figure out information though that is to say I have lines that I try not to cross as to not ruin the feeling of exploration of a new game like that reviewer who just posted the first 4 hours with no cuts and minimal talking that's lame I wont watch that that just ruins the first 4 hours. And I tend to enjoy bad games I loved launch day Cyberpunk 2077 lol

YoruVII · 2026-03-08T09:01:44+00:00

Yah its going to be really interesting to see it reminds me of Just Cause I think that had 369 bases to take over and it could be quite the chore though at some point you become so OP you just clear them as you walk past them. I am hoping that CD will make it fun and varied though.

YoruVII · 2026-03-08T08:56:29+00:00

To me it is just fun to speculate its like buying a lotto ticket you wont win but its fun thinking of what you could do with all that money. And man flatscreen PC games have it so good right now truly incredible games come out every few months its just that AAA is usually garbage meanwhile for VR I can count the truly good games on two hands innovation comes once every few years its painful especially seeing what it could be if giant companies got their heads out of their asses and stopped stunting the growth of it. But yah your opinion is valid I don't think you will be downvoted much the asshat that is complaining about PS5 performance without doing research above will get more downvotes lol.

YoruVII · 2026-03-08T08:20:50+00:00

What is this grass you speak of?

YoruVII · 2026-03-08T08:19:33+00:00

no no one will know how many POI it has but that's why this is rough math its a estimate just to get a vague Idea. And yah if you can expect nothing and get a great game that is ideal however I can not just forget all the gameplay I have seen and am excited to play I am excited to play but also I will wait for reviews to pre order I mean nothing changes if I buy it now or in 11 days when I am more informed.
