I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.

I'm kidding obvs

I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (4 children)

On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)

Alternatively you've got this online frontend

If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this

I know you're 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers

Im not pre-ordering piracy either.

Im waiting for the reviews.

[–] 7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 years ago

The review embargo was lifted with the start of the early access, meaning that all the regular review channels that received review copies have already posted their content.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

That's not "pre-ordering". Go write the reviews

To be fair it's the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.

I would think that it's cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.

Plus I don't think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.

"Cracked" meaning having replaced a dll file

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

Bethesda games usually don't go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)

[–] Ozzy@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

WTF?! The game is not even released on steam yet? Are they cracking the preloaded version?

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 58 points 2 years ago (2 children)

AFAIK the digital deluxe edition allows you to start playing 5 days early.

[–] dustojnikhummer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 years ago

There is no "play 5 days early". The game launched on 1st of September. But those who can't afford to shell out 100 Euros have to wait 5 more days. Microsoft did the same bullshit with Forza. I didn't like it back then, I won't like it now.

[–] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can confirm. Started playing this morning.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s your opinion so far?

[–] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Skyrim in space. Exactly what I was hoping it would be.

[–] Saneless@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Except when I stole some dude's sandwich, instead of being arrested he just said "Hey that's my sandwich!" And then sighed, defeated

Definitely a better experience already than Skyrim

Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.

[–] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 76 points 2 years ago (7 children)

None of them do. It would fuck with people's ability to make mods for them.

Bethesda Game Studios games don't have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.

On the other hand, didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?
