Just ignore all games that have Denuvo. It's actually working I don't see much good games with denuvo lately.
As far as I can tell, Doom the Dark Ages has it, and many reviews are quite good. I don't know if they're good enough to convince me to install it though. Maybe I'll wait until they remove it months or years later.
Base or premium?
Base
Ouch
That's before sales tax as well (5%-15% province-dependent)
From what i've heard the game crashes a lot
Can confirm, I gave up after my fifth crash in two hours. So much for Doom being a landmark PC series...
Yeah i'm not a doom player myself but i was surprised about it having so many problems as well, cause generally speaking i always heard people praise their pc ports for being extremely well optimized.
Denuvo, hearing that the music isn't as good, the performance issues, and crashes have all but killed my hype for the game. I might still cave in and buy it, but I probably should just support a better company instead.
