Okay, maybe I will be buying the game afterall. As long as "No Denuvo" doesn't mean "no denuvo, but we added a different DRM instead." Except Steam's built in DRM, I guess. It doesn't seem to negatively effect the performance in my Steam games.
It's not so much "built in" asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don't: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I'm going to be playing.
Isnt the Linux version of civ without denuvo?
Where did you get that from? Why would it be?

Oh fuck that mod abuse cunt and his blog spam here and on Reddit. He left Lemmy because he got caught abusing his powers, not realizing that the modlogs are public. He's spamming his garbage site with alt accounts everywhere.
Anyway... Denuvo runs fine through Proton, so I don't see why they couldn't funnel that through even if the game itself runs natively. Or Denuvo gets a proper Linux port. Either way, a purchase is still a support of Denuvo even if they somehow exclude Linux, which would be a weird move.
Tux Kart?
If it’s worth playing, reward them by purchasing not pirating.
Fuck Yeah.
Great, now I hope it will actually be well optimised though. I tried the first game again recently, but the performance in the main town is abysmal on high-end hardware.
So it's not just me. I thought they made it better eventually, seems I was too optimistic.
I hope they changed the weird combat system. I know people do like it, but it's the reason I didn't end up buying it after playing the full version demo
I enjoyed the combat system overall but it got very tedious and unfair if you got attacked by more than two people at the same time. I suppose it's realistic, but it wasn't really fun when you had to "lock on" to multiple enemies.
I never was able to get the combat system at all. I resorted to bow and arrow for the entire game.
It takes a bit to get used to. The first thing I do on a new playthrough is go to train with Bernard right away until my sword skill is high enough. You can forget using the sword before that, it's a night-and-day difference. Once you get to the point where you're running around with a set of full armor, you're basically human tank. I actually killed the first boss in one hit once lol.
I think this was a lot of people's hangups, they expected a hack and slash, that leveled with you, instead they got a peasant for a main character who didn't know how to handle a weapon at all without actually training. Once you figured out how to train, it got a lot easier to fight.
Same experience as me! The power creep in KCD is hilarious. With good armour and a handful of perks unlocked, combat is a piece of cake and you can just spam parries, clinch, and headcracking.
For me that's the real flaw with the games combat system. It gets way too easy later on. The directional swings, combos, and watching your opponents moves carefully becomes redundant.
