A lot has been said about the DRM that protect Assassin’s Creed Origins. While fans believe that this implementation of Denuvo (Denuvo + VMProtect over it so it can further protect it) brings serious CPU performance issues, Ubisoft stated that its protection does not have any perceptible effect on performance. And it appears that this combination of VMProtect with Denuvo has managed to secure the game’s first week sales.
At the time of writing, and after over one week, the game has not been cracked yet. Considering all the latest Denuvo games that were cracked in just a day, this is definitely a win for Ubisoft. We don’t know whether other developers will implement a similar protection system in order to protect their games. However, and since Ubisoft will not remove its protection system from its games, we’d like to see more games using this combination. The reason? Quite simple actually. We want to see whether any future games will stress the CPU similarly to what Watch_Dogs 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Origins are currently doing.
What’s also interesting here is that Assassin’s Creed: Origins has sold at least 250K units on Steam, surpassing another game that came out in that same very day, Wolfenstein 2. Wolfenstein 2 does not feature any micro-transactions, does not use the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, and runs incredibly well on the PC. However, it has sold only 174K copies (according to Steamspy’s data). Furthermore, the overall PC sales of Assassin’s Creed Origins should be even higher as the game is also available on UPLAY.
It will be interesting to see whether Assassin’s Creed Origins will be able to sell one million copies on Steam. The only Assassin’s Creed games that have achieved this are Assassin’s Creed 2, 3, and Black Flag.
Ubisoft has recently released a PC patch that improved overall CPU performance. We seriously hope that the French company will continue working on more PC optimizations. Still, we don’t expect any miracles or a performance improvement similar to that of Forza Horizon 3.

Marketing!=DRM has secured its first week sales
Bethesda have the worst promotion team.
Terrible marketing… Hype was high before they ruined it by playing on the anti-Trump leftist hysteria. But that is fine… They are slowly learning that people are less willing to let that fly…
He just told me that RTCW was 6 hours long with cutscenes and new collosus is 13 hours long.
Suffice to say he is a troll.
RTCW was really cool…
What is RTCW?
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Oh. Never played it. Thanks!
The marketing was horrible the last game had good marketing, if its a short game then obviously people would skip it. Isnt this a red flag when it come to singleplayer games?
I mean WTF HAPPENED TO PEOPLE? We used to be against heavy cutscene fps and short campaigns, we used to be against reskins and this is exactly what this game is.
No its not, even the last game wasnt 13 hours and this game is far far shorter with more cutscenes.
“far more play time than most quality single player games ”
HAHAHHAHA no, unless your definition of quality single player games is cod.
“RTCW was 6 hours long WITH cutscenes. ”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
You mean the game that had one cutscene at the begining of a mission and the levels went on and on and on that you wondered when the game is gonna finaly by over?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH
You are a troll, next time you say something stupid ill just quote you on this.
I have said this years ago, the people that ea fired, bethesda hired.
Yeah right. looks at doom.
After alienating almost half of their potential customers with terrible marketing ( and terrible writing), one may wonder why Wolfenstein 2: The New Propaganda won’t meet its sales expections…
Customers are so fragile these days that poor writing and marketing are causing for feeling alienating?
Man…I feel manlier every day around you folk…
When it is repeated ad nauseum by game “journalists”, SJW devs, TV, Hollywood, the press… yes, they are.
Probably because they are silenced and have been left without a voice for years now. People are getting sick of one sided arguments and echo chambers.
And of course… communist propaganda doesn’t fly anymore. Fighting nazis is great ( real ones of course, not the people who disagree with you ) but going from nazism to communism is in no way an improvement.
Wait, who’s being silenced here?
Sounds like people are just making poor choices for their media consumption. That’s not the marketing’s fault. People like being fed information. They sign up for this stuff.
If you are right leaning and you go to talk to a university you will be shut down by students.
If you cant voice your opinion even in universities, why you think you can anywhere else?
I don’t see how anyone is possibly preventing you from voicing your own opinion. You have you speak for yourself, and not relying on others to carry that message for you. If you’re not being heard, you’re not trying hard enough or choosing the wrong channels to do so.
So where in mass mainstream media can people go where they are not bombarded with SJW rethoric outside of Fox news ?
You don’t. Mainsteam media has to make a living, a lot of the way that works is appeasing sponsors, those who send their products and the like. If you want viable opinions, you make them yourself or rely on voices of people you know. Relying on mainstream media for unbiased opinion is an exercise in futility.

“dirthurts Mooki • 9 hours ago
You don’t.”
You either have:
A: The memory of a fish and have no clue of the crap you just threw up or
B: Think the rest of the world has the memory of a fish and you think you are the god emperor who thinks he can crap the world at the flick of the wrist.
Either way, you are screwed.
Your regressive imagination doing overtime or something?
“Wait? Are you seriously trying to advocate for Fox news?”
Quote and point out where i did such a thing.
Your liberal imagination doing overtime or something?
And you call others moron?
Good luck.
Learn to read you zombie.
“SJW Narratives”.
Notice the difference of meaning here. Should have been more then enough context even for a 6 year old. You can’t turn on any other channel without getting this crap being forced down your throat, you wont convince anyone. You can’t even read.
That because both apply and you need to manage to point out how i made recommendations.
” inadvertently recommend anyone watch Fox news.”
But all you managed so far is to get triggered by the mere mention of the name “Fox News” leaving crying about it here like regressive drone.
You attacked my comment. I defended it. For as far as it needed defending because the shiit you were talking about was not even present in my post but it was in your head.
“Holy crap, I’m so done with this comment section, you’re a bunch of morons.”
So triggered you “threaten” to leave.

“Probably because they are silenced and have been left without a voice for years now. People are getting sick of one sided arguments and echo chambers.”
BBC says that the top words used in 2016 are
-fake news
-antifa
-echochamber
If this isnt a clear example of people seek and tired of the radical left taking over the news with their biases and double standards, i dont know what is.
They should have added “propaganda” to that, the BBC are great at it and use it all the time. I’m glad I don’t watch mainstream news anymore, I don’t even watch terrestrial TV anymore, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Kodi, youtube for me for a year now and never looked back.
Nah, its just that the game is super short and all it has is horrible writing. Now what would be wrong with making this a lengthy game with large nonlinear oldschool levels instead of making it short with so many cutscenes and awfully linear levels?
Coming from a guy like you who prefers to wear skirts that is quite mean to say..
oh, come on. shut up already.
for a bunch of people who claim that OMG FEMINAZIS ARE SO ANOYING THEY ARE ALWAYS CRYING AND BREAKING OUR GAMES” you sure are anoying.
hector you are old and alone……Shhhh it’s ok……Shhhhh……cry get it all out
Yeah one comment is almost as terrible as hundreds of articles on “gaming” websites. It clearly is as balanced as one could expect…
Now use that little ignore button Disqus provides if the only thing you can contribute to the discussion is to tell someone to shut up from the get go.
I sure hope you find me annoying though, I was getting low on my amount of f…s given…
“Shut up”
Very convincing argument.
Bravo, well done!
Limited liberal vocabulary.
Only non-liberal schooling can fix that.
But what about his feelingzzzz ??!
Before we start to care he should first manage to produce some legit ones. Projected “progressive” feels are always excluded. For obvious reasons 🙂
But… but…
Think of the children!
Yeah, non-cis binary gendered oppressed children of color!
Normal kids can go to hell, though. /s
i agree, i’m an activist from facebook page called moms against violent video games and let me tell you concept of feminism is something that jesus was trying to achieve before greek arabs and jews killed him, he died for ignorance of people of those times just like now, corrupt society who mocks feminism and equality, i support hillary not only because she’s a woman but because she’s an honest working class woman who’s very smart and genuinely worried for her people. cruelty of white man should be dealt with once and for all. who owned salves?white man who’s s*xist? white man, who’s alex jones? a white man, who disrespect strong and independent black women?white man, enough with tyranny of white man and their grip on the world.
You make the best troll posts but there are 2 things wrong with what you say.
1.Greeks made jesus, the old testement was written in greek
2.Feminism is LITTERALY a marxist social construct.
“You make the best troll posts” “there are 2 things wrong with what you say”
make up your mind
Eh? Isn’t The Old Language Hebrew?
You know, its funny you mention that, the game features pregnant anya, who in the last game was just a nerse, jumping off a helicopter mowing down nazis, sliding and throwing multiple grenades knocking down Bj who is at the size of a train with a bioengineered uber soldier body. Taking off her jacket that caught on fire and dual wields 2 assault rifles while blood is falling on ther boobs and destroys a giant robot.
Now if there is there a scene written by Anita Sarkeesian in a videogame, this is it.
Twisted and gross. yeah i would say that fits the bill.
On wccf i saw some cuck posting a shot of that topless pregnant character with blood all over her firing guns and he said it was sexy. So much for the anti gun lobby.
He also got angry when i called twisted to find such a thing sexy and blabbering on about something i never said anything about. Pure insanity in his head right there.
I swear the amount of intellectual gymnastics these guys perform on a daily basis is calling for a new category at the Olympics…
this site is filled with bunch of crybabies and pirates
LOL bunch of sjw alt-rights arent really “half of their potential customers”
You are seriously misinformed…..
no you are
Yes you are, utterly clueless in fact.
Alt Right aren’t the only people being fed up with SJW rethoric 🙂
Well the alt right is tops 100k but what they alianeted was oldschool fps fans by providing a heavy cutscenes 6 hour expansion with linear levels. This is not what their “potentioal customers” wanted.
Alt-Right and nazis are less of a threat ( even by their numbers ) than communist Antifa for sure.
But I guess that is because they’re affraid of being labeled too tolerant that they wander under a hood with weapons and fighting gear at peaceful protests…
The left are the biggest threat to west and are destroying it, they basically want to start again, whites will be the oppressed and the left are the new Nazi’s. Ironically the left want to do what Hitler did to the Jews, look at the random attacks on white people now, they’re at a all time high, of course it’s spun as minority’s only getting attacked, hate crime = only none whites.
brainwashed to the max ^
There is plenty of proof, politicians calling for less whites in jobs, black only collages, claiming whites have some kind of provildge over none whites, thinking white people put Trump in office, claiming Trump supporters are Nazi’s. You find plenty of videos, the attack on white people is getting more and more extreme. Liberals actually think blacks are oppressed, they don’t have access to every day things, they’re the racists, ignorant people.
Guess what? people are playing it and liking it as we speak, the game has a “9” from almost everyone but you’re still here b*tchin & making excuses, but we all know why your little butt hurts 😉 dont try to make excuses buddy lol
Go back to buzzfeed and feed your bubble-head.
By claiming that RL current america is filled with nazi’s.
I have seen a $hit ton more Ads for AC:origins than Wolfenstein 2. just like Call of duty, AC games spend alot of their budget for advertising.
plus AC games have always sold more because of casual market even their DLCs sells more or almost as much as some games like Ac:Freedom Cry (140k) or even that sh*tty PS vita port that came to PC after 2 years sold 171k copies
Probably right. On the other hand, given the choice between Ancient Egypt and, once again, fighting nazis… I’d rather pick the first one.
Oh wait… COD: WW2 just got released… 🙂
Even tho Wolfenstein 2 is a million time better game than Cod:WW2 we all know which game gonna sell more
I dont know about that, the last 2 cod games and titanfall 2 had a betrer campaign than the trash wolfenstein 2 was.
True ancient egypt is not a setting hat is very explored.
Im not a sjw but also not an alt right. If I didn’t make a decent living and I could only buy one game every few months or whatever, it wouldn’t be Wolfenstein 2 over AC:O, just for the content factor. Fortunately I can afford to. Much more excited to play Wolfenstein first though. That’s said, no one expected Wolfenstein to sell as well as any of the several games coming out around the same time. Still need to beat it. Pretty damned good so far.
See this is what it has come to. You got a super short game that is inferior in every way from the last one. If you dislike it you must be alt right, if you think its the best game ever, then you are cleraly a sjw.
What about the fact its super short with awful corridor like levels and awful story, which is what 65% of the game is, cutscenes.
not a single good game has been released in past few years, trash companies and their trash games, there are still people out there that are willing to spend $60 on a game like far cry5
Assassins Creed is way more popular than Wolfensten…. so, you just cant compare it 1:1
SJW?

Rare shot of one of them practicing Jew-Jitsu…
Some material to shine during parties mate. You’re welcome 😉
Actually SJW’s are targeting jews now.
Of course they are… At one point they will start having a hard time finding new scapegoats to blame for their failures…
that’s very good to hear
the more they splinter, the better
plus Having Jews on the right is gonna give an easier clearance to stand against the Islamic invasion of Europe
Hmm, ,i hand’t stopped to realize that yet. Good point there m8.
SPLINTER? But i killed him months ago!!
Lol? On what basis? O.o
really…?
It’s a term that beta males use, to put people into segregated boxes that they can’t debate with.

That’s the problem though for you, is you can’t get to someone who isn’t in one of your silly little labelled groups.
Be yourself, it’s quite liberating.
Your side started identity politics….
I am myself.
Never worried about fitting in…..but I’ll bet you did everything you could to be the “cool guy” …..In fact you are trying this instance so hard to be cool you might as well throw on a James Dean movie and sing some Elvis at karaoke night…..huh huh huh….
You seem to be having some sort of identity crisis. You must be in a lot of pain?
the real sales are around Xmas season , lots of kids are saving money now
This will probably encourage more combinations of DRM. More system resources being hogged by DRM.
I do like AC Origins more than Wolfenstein, personally. I am a pretty major fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise though. Was really happy to have a good entry in the series after Syndicate being lame and Unity being Okay-ish.
Ubisoft have a lot stupid fanboys . No suprise. Too bad ,Wolfenstein 2 is a GOTY game, has largely earned very positive marks ( 89 metacritic) yet is overshadowed by this sheit game. A game which pretty much does exactly the same thing, year after year after year! Too many great games have gone under the radar in 2017… and it’s a real shame.
what? both games do the same thing year after year.
Wolfenstein 2 is goty?
So lets see if i got this. Prey which is the closest thing to system shock 2 is not goty. The upcoming dusk that looks like a perfect oldschool fps is not goty.
But a 6 hour game with 3.5 of those hours being horible cutscenes with horrible writing. With godawful linear corridor level design and practicly no imporvements from the last game apart from the engne, is somehow goty?
So what was your goty this year?
“oh you know a super generic and linear hort corridor shooter with awful cutscenes”
Facepalm.
“game which pretty much does exactly the same thing, year after year after year!”
And wolfenstein 2 is diffirentl because? It does the same thing as the last 2 games but its shorter.
What agreat achievement.
Wolfenstein 2 GOTY?!? The same year of Divinity Orginal Sin 2, Persona 5, Zelda BOTW, Super Mario Odyssey? Good Joke!
one’s a $hitty antifa simulator
and another is negro propaganda “we wuz kangs”
i’m actually suprised they both passed the 100K sales mark, i guess there are plenty of cucks on steam willing to pick these $hitty games
you gotta ask yourself a question, is there anything else? No there isnt.
next year we’re gonna get some real games
made by manly slavs, not p ussified western cucks
kingdom come, Metro Exodus and in 2019 we’re gonna have Cyberpunk 2077
sure it’s not much to expect to, but i’ed rather play a good game once in a blue moon, than to play the annual marxist $HITE they keep shuffling
if anything, replayability is a another fine reason to invest in single player
and since Warhorse studios promised to add post-game content for FREE
i’ed say it’s enough for me
who knows, maybe 4A studios we’ll create a free-roam mode after the credits roll, after all the developers of 4A games are the same people who worked on stalker so we have that for replayability aswell
also if you don’t mind Cuckstar coercing you into buying their game on a crappy 30 FPS conslow, there is also RDR2
though no doubt the cult of political correctness will taint that game aswell
so as of right now, we have 3 upcoming RPG’s
i’ed say we’re pretty good if you don’t mind the wait…
Wolfenstein 2 turned off a lot of people by courting Antifa and baiting political controversy, also the franchise isn’t as big as AC nowadays. It would be more interesting to see how ACO compares to previous AC titles in the same timeframe.
blah blah blah
AC is the main franchise of Ubisoft and is much more famous… So, Wolfestein is selling very well in my opinion.
Indeed, not the greatest comparison at all.
As for the rest of the article; lol. Well, if they really think doubling down & wasting even more money on anti-piracy software is really going to help them in any way……
These are 2 different games from different genres by different publishers and developers, why are you comparing them?
We’re calling assassins creed an RPG now are we? Also its worth mentioning that shooters like CoD don’t sell anything near as well as they do on consoles.
It had rpgish mechanics.
Well if you can call Witcher 3 an RPG then yeah. Origins is an RPG as well. It have all gameplay elements that Witcher 3 have.
Heck even more. You can tame animals in Origins. You have stealth…overall its more varied game.
OH BUT THAT IS BLASPHEMY! Innit? Witcher 3 is best RPG of the decade. Ye sure its nice action-RPG but not really heavy on RPG. Same as AC: Origins.
“Still, we don’t expect any miracles or a performance improvement similar to that of Forza Horizon 3.”
Horizon 3 took over 6 months for a threaded rendering patch under DX12 that should of been in the game since it launched.
Imagine putting effort and money into the game but still underselling because of stupid PR team and being commissioned to put leftist rhetoric in.
I would buy wolfenstein 2 gladly sadly in Israel(oh the irony) neither this game and even the new order are available to buy so i had no other choice than to pirate it…the funny thing is that call of call of duty ww2 is available i dont understand Bethesda reason to not sell wolfenstein games in Israel
They probably can’t ? Touchy subject for sure in Isreal… though one would assume this would be a huge market for a game about killing nazis 🙂
lol wut? But the game is about killing nazis.
I watched YouTube playthroughs of both of them. Saved myself $120.
sad to see DSO shilling for crazy drm combos just because they are fans of UbiBullshit™ … especially wih such ridculous comparisions ….. but whatever AAAs are getting so much of anticonsumer bullshit recently that i am better of them anyway
You’re saying Wolfenstein should have soldiers fighting alongside BJ? Like in certain other WW2 game we have? Not to mention Wolfenstein since 1993 has never been about logic, it’s always been upto the ridiculous and it’s always been about 1 hero unrealistically taking down the whole N a z i empire. Poor writing? I haven’t heard that from one major reviewer, instead they only praised the story and cutscenes, which I doubt would be any good without atleast decent writing.
Reviewers praising W2’s writing… If that’s not a big red flag by now… 🙂
Would that be the same reviewers who rallied against GamerGate two years ago?
Because, yeah…..
“Wolfenstein 2 does not feature any micro-transactions, does not use the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, and runs incredibly well on the PC. However, it has sold only 174K copies (according to Steamspy’s data)”
Its 6 hours long. But we gonna ignore that eh?
I can buy a 6 hour AAA-game if it’s really good.
Not the case here, as we can see.
also, why DSOG didn’t mention the frequent crashes and bugs of the game?
It took me 15 hours to finish the game, on hardest difficulty. Your point is dumb. 2/10
I am suprised it sold as much as it has sold, then again heavy advertisement by the sjw media. Oldschool fps fans are gonna be dissapointed. 6 hour game, 3.5 hours of cutscenes, horrible level design trully not a step forward from new order like say arkham city was above and beyond arkham asylum, but a step backwards. I would even say that the old blood was a better game than cringestein the new dissapoitment.
because no one got enough time to whine and pirate like you
iam close to to finish it it seems as i have played 5 hours and iam playing on brinf them on and i can say it is as good as the previous ones it is not bad
“Despite controversy, Assassin’s Creed Origins’ DRM has secured its first week sales”
And after that the web is flooded with user reviews and sales will start to tank.
Meanwhile I’m playing ELEX and Baldur’s Gate 2 Enchanced Edition.

80% of comments aren’t about gaming in this thread, so…
Alt-right killing in real life instead of killing nazis in video game.
Like when you label people with different opinions nazis, you assume people opposing SJW propaganda are Alt Right or supporting their cause.
Most people are not ( though the lack of mainstream conservative opinions and the constant bashing of the right leaning opposition will certainly push some people to their cause ).
This game is easy and we can play it all day if you want. The next time a Muslim kills people, will play again. I say it will happen again as sure as the Sun will come up tomorrow. :p
“We are talking about the same people who thought bioshock infinite had a good story.”
Many people thought Bioshock had a great story. I thought it had a great story too. Kept my interest the whole way through.
But let me guess some people got hurt over it’s portrayal of fascism and patriotism ?
Uh, no, many people took issue with the fact that the story is sh*t & makes no sense, but don’t let that pull you off your soap box.
“Major review outlets are f’ing hacks paid to advertise videogames just like they did with Gone Home and do with any major AAA release thats put out, just compare the Metacritic reviews of games to see just how completely out of touch they are with the audience that actually plays videogames, unlike them.
The same people that argue that Dark Souls is the hardest game ever and that can’t get past tutorials in games like Doom 2016 and Cuphead.
Why the f’ do you think I’m here in the first place instead of poisoning my mind with rethoric and corporate loyalty in the IGn or Gamespot forums?
Get real”
You’re the only one who needs to ‘get real’
‘The same people that do this, and that, and that’. No, lol, those are such silly sweeping statements. I assure you that there were lots of journalists that love hard games who reviewed Wolf 2 and loved it. I assure you that there are lots of people who just liked the game for what it is, and not because “oh they’re all just sjw shills”
“Game critics fuc*** sucks” Dunkey 2017.
Why do you bother explaining Sjw theories in Destiny , bfront 2, cod? I dont care about those games, I just know they sell better than Wolf 2 because it’s got multiplayer and online only and lootboxes. You keep spewing negativity about Wolf 2, you just stick with enjoying those other sjw games or just quit gaming, because we’re soon not going to have these kinda games anymore.
Wolfenstein is all about killing Nazis. I don’t care about your stupid politics when the gameplay is solid af and the music is kickass.
Divinity 2, DRM Free, out selling them both combined. so ?
WHAT?! But but how can a DRM free, niche PC only game outsell a AAA, casual, DRM infested, top franchise Ubisoft game? :p
Comparing a game that was in early access for quite a while with a game that came out a week ago in terms of sales? Even you should know that sounds absurd.
Nope, it sold +500k in it’s first week in EA.
Yet it sold more in it’s first week.
And it didn’t have their marketing budget or coverage. also Mario doesn’t have anything related to PC version of these games, COD is a dead meme.
Nope, Mario is not related at all. if so Divinity released in Sep, you know, when Destiny 2,Metroid,Fifa,PES and Totalwar released, it was even a harder competition.
“And COD is so dead that it already has 350,000 owners”
Memeber those 20m (5m on PC) glory days ? yeah, won’t ever happen again. i don’t think it reaches 1m by the end of the next year.
“Destiny (wasn’t even on PC at that time)”
lol, Mario wasn’t even on PC like ever so ?
“Fifa aren’t on Steam”
And again, Mario isn’t on Steam.
“people who were going to buy Divinity are likely not the same people who were ever going to buy Fifa”
And ? people who were going to buy Mario are likely not the same people who were ever going to buy AC.
“COD now has 400,000 in 6 days”
Ok ? that’s about right for any AAA game out there, 400k to 700k in a month or two. unless it’s a big flop like Hitman.
“Mario and AC have become casual games”
Well, Fifa isn’t a hardcore niche game either.
“And it disproves your point about how COD is a dead meme”
Not really, it had it days, but now it’s more of a dead meme than anything else. sure it’s fans going to buy it no matter what but the rest of the people ? they don’t care about it anymore, since MW2 sales are down and with each release it’s going to be worst.
“Fifa has a very dedicated fan base.”
So as Mario and AC.
Yes but it wont last until forever specially on PC.
Yeah you described yourself pretty well.
Divinity has a rather large fanbase on the platform.
So as the other two.
I’m sorry, what?
the guy on the video shows proof that it took him less than 7 hours to complete this game and 3 hours of it is cutscene.
Indeed, watch the whole video to learn (learn sounds wrong more like…to see what others may not like about it) exactly WHY it kinda sucks. Its not just lenght.
If you ask me its tad worse then New Order in every way.
Still had TON of fun personally since I just love shooters but…yeah.
Hmm so I only saw first 15 minutes of the video tbh. Watched the rest and…actually for him in the end it really is all about lenght. So you were right sir 😀 it sounded like he have many more serious issues with the game but…not really.
No, but length is definitely a factor when you’re asking for $60 & 7 hours isn’t all that much for that price point, even with replay value.
i played it for an hour, it’s full of cutscenes, it’s not a video game in my opinion and it’s definitely not for me.
yes, i’d love to stop people from spending money on this game, i don’t care if they spend two centuries making a game, if it’s 6 hours it doesn’t worth $60 not even $30, making your game short is a poor marketing strategy.
do you get paid by bethesda?
if you don’t get paid and defend their game and their price tag…hmm, i wonder what’s the word that describes a person like you.
you absolutely did, you are a knee bending cuck, it’s a fact and i’m sure it’s not your first time defending a video game on the internet without getting paid, you are upset because we offended a game you liked, it’s a fact, slamming a video game is not childish, critics do that.
stopping people from buying a game is not childish either when you grow up and start doing your shopping you’ll see countless times a good man or a woman stops you from buying a trash light bulb, battery and etc, they also give you the reason.
as i said you are offended and hurt because a game you liked is not really good, so you get defensive because you suddenly start feeling insecure about your choice. you are in denial and you are wrong.
“I have no opinion either way” are you trying to slowly slide to a neutral position? and who said i don’t like it? story wise it’s nonsense but i love it. i’m telling people to not waste their money on a 6 hours long single player game that 3 hours of it is basically cutscenes. i’m not forcing anyone to do anything, do you think that anyone is actually going to buy this game based on a single comment they read on the internet?i’m telling the truth, they’ll do the research and decide, if you’re not defending this game then tell me what is it you’re doing?fill the blank for me
i’m not defending this game i’m…
“if you like the game then why are you bringing up it’s length and quality every time someone mentions it”
1-liking a product does not mean you should ignore it’s faults.
“You say you like it and yet you haven’t given any indication as to that”
2-before this game was released, i’ve said it multiple times that this game is the only game that i’m excited for since i loved prequels, if i knew i’d get in a situation like this, i would have send you a letter.
“You Could simply say “I like the game, but the story is a step back and for me, it seems a little too short””
3- no due, story is nonsense and it’s not “a little too short” it’s too f*cking short, it’s 3 hours without cutscenes.
also you didn’t disprove anything, so i don’t know what you’re talking about.
Yeah a non-open world game should at least be 10-15 hours. That being said, the open world genre is getting boring and causing people to have ridiculous expectations when it comes to game length. These days people will even complain if a game is 20 hours long.
Guess crackers got something new to play with.
i’m almost certain you’re iranian (sassan = sassanids) and i remember back when bf3 came out your people were crying about high ping and one of them said you don’t even have access to credit card so i suspect you’re a pirate yourself, did i just expose you?
Hey man. Not every Iranian is a pirate . Where are you from?
“they live in such a bubble”
Pretty much;

Remember that one. I was like.. W… T… F…
It’s actually very close to Rousseau’s myth of the “noble savage”… In the end it is obvious people on the left still need a father figure ( no matter how much they hate the patriarchy ).
Still can’t fathom why there aren’t more black people and minorities switching to the right with condescending leftists like that…
Still too much stigma associated with the Republican party, unfortunately & the Anti-Trump propaganda machine hasn’t helped matters much. Rather ironic really, as it was the Democrats constantly fighting against Civil Rights Bills, anti-Slavery movements, etc. back in the day. But yeah, times change.
As for The Noble Savage, indeed. It’s like how some people will always pivot towards religion, even in this modern age of science. Or alternatively, Socialism, considering how the ideology is designed.
Sometimes there is a clear prediction as to what a left or right person will believe, for example, Atheists I know defend Islam and think it’s a relgion of piece, yet think religion is BS. Government propaganda works on them really well on certain things because they believe their left leaders and at the same time with the same breath claim to not trust them on policies and such. It’s like this people are walking contridictions. LOL
“It’s like this people are walking contridictions.”
Actually, that’s pretty much exactly what they are; walking, talking, human contradictions. It’s (in my opinion) one of the reasons they’re so allergic to sitting down & talking with the “opposition” groups; they’re afraid of being humiliated by having contradictory statements they’ve made thrown into their faces.
ELEX sold 103,000 on Steam alone, plus it’s on GOG as well so add those sales, not bad at all for a 40 people Studio. No DRM, no microtransations or loot boxes.
Ye and on top of that when reading opinions online vast majority of gamers absolutely loathe Piranha Bytes games. So seeing these figures is amazing.
J’s scene in TNO in a nutshell:
BJ: So what do you do in resistance?
JH: Muh oppresion ‘n shiiieet
BJ: seriously, what do you do in resistance?
JH: Uh-h-h … let’s get some dope, homie!
Pretty much
I was expecting him to be some kind of guru, try to make people relax, teach them how to play guitar, forget about their dire situation with pacifist talk and maybe ironically kill a nazi as a “kill or be killed” situation and then try to redeem himself by sacrifice saving his friends.
Instead we get a bum that does dope all day, complains about Whitey, speaks some mumbo jumbo and then dies like a b*tch.
At least most of the other characters were likeable and served a purpose, even Bombate that does f’all in TNC was a better character in TNO, seriously I though TNO was pretty mediocre but compared to TNC it looks good.
“And it appears that this combination of VMProtect with Denuvo has managed to secure the game’s first week sales.”
Thank goodness for VMProtect and Denuvo. I’m sure the game would have sold terribly if it had not been for the protection of each wonderful DRM stacked on top of one another. We all know that good games don’t sell themselves. Sorry Witcher 3, you should have used 5 layers of DRM. You’ll know better next time.
“we’d like to see more games using this combination.”
Oh, absolutely! This is the future I want to see. I’ve always felt gamers deserve to get more for their money, and now we’re starting see some real value. When you buy AC:O today, you also get to have Steam, UPlay, VMProtect, and Denuvo all running at the same time. That’s 5 for the price of 1. Those filthy pirates have to go without playing the game for 2 weeks, then get the inferior version of the game without all the bonus DRM.
Firstly – it hasn’t secured anything from pirates, they don’t have money for the game anyway.
Secondly – obviously it sold more than Wolfenstein 2 – it’s Assassin’s Creed for christ sake – the marketing budgets of the two games are incomparable.
Even AC: Syndicate sold 450k alone on Steam and that was considered a commercial flop by Ubi.
hahahahahhahahhahah f`1king pirates defeated lol denuvo + vmprotect + always online + uplay more devs should start using this kill the pirates
I will play assasins creed later after i finish wolfestein and sonic forces and if it dont get cracked soon i will also buy it so yes denuvo is working
lol wut ? stop making stuff up dude.
In less than a year it’s almost 1million not to mention GOG sales, it sold near 500k in it’s first week.
lol even if you are right it proves nothing, it sold and will sell more than any of these titles.
Yeah, at the cost of melting people’s CPUs without any chance of refund (Unless you played less than 2 hours on Steam, and that too if your CPU is still intact).
i was banned from the crackwatch subreddit for asking this….but if they have emulators for uplay, why cant the crackers (not the scene ones…but like baldman for example) release a crack where it loads up a uplay account with the game, essentially cracking uplay into thinking that the account has a bought AC:O??? kind of like steampunks and the denuvo key gen. and the same for origin/steam (specially windows store…if possible)
