Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance

[diet_orange]

Thoughts? Was considering buying it on Steam then I noticed that it had DRM, specifically Denuvo Anti-tamper and I was immediately turned off with no plans on buying it for the foreseeable future

The demo felt like a serviceable ninja game that could've come out from anyone, but since Sega owns a ninja-related IP, it's a new Shinobi.

I have no intention of infesting my PC with malware so...

You'd think Sega would've learned by now.

Sega is paranoid about pirates so every single release from them comes with Denuvo. If you're lucky, they'll remove it a couple years later (like when they did for Yakuza 6)

Well I mean it looks good I guess....

If you want it, buy it then pirate it. 99% percent of the time, if you get it from the not fat girl site (you know who I mean) it's been cleaned of any and all DRM and anything that would send info back to the home base.

It looks decent, but I'm not about tacitly tell Sega it's all right for them to lace their games with Denuvo, so it's a no get. Considering all they probably did was allow Lizardcube to use the IP (as was the case with SoR4), Sega has zero merit in those successful revivals.

Edit: Go play Cyber Shadow or Ninja Gaiden Ragebound for your ninja fix (heck, Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3 have aged very well).

So is anybody gonna actually talk about the game itself?

I'll be playing it on Switch, so maybe I'll chime in later.

You can bet the fact Denuvo is there will always be more relevant than the game itself, for people cognizant of what it represents; the game will probably be decent, but it won't be free of tarnish.

I guess it's irrelevant to me as a non-PC player, but I can see why people don't like it.

There are so many reasons why I don't understand why people like PC gaming. Denuvo, no physical releases, etc.
