Here’s some on my list:
-
Red Dead Redemption 2 - I do not want to deal with the Rockstar Games launcher.
-
Tom Clancy’s Breakpoint - The game’s add-on packs feel like Ubisoft is trying to nickel and dime gamers who would instinctively buy the GOTY equivalent of a title. I do not want to deal with a Ubisoft launcher or account.
-
Zombi - According to the Steam reviews it required a Uplay login to validate the game before you play and that version of the Ubisoft service no longer exists. This seems to have been rectified but I still don’t trust it and don’t want to go through the refund process if it hasn’t.
-
Skyrim VR - I’ve already bought too many copies of Skyrim.
A bit of a “this is why I pirate” thread but more targeted at individual games.
I already bought Persona 5 Royal a couple of years ago on PS4 (Royal + DLC of persona on sale). Really want to replay the game on my PC with 60FPS but refuse to pay another €25-60 euros for it, besides it has Denuvo. I might purchase it when, it’s at least €20 or below.
Similar thing with The Division 1, would like to play the game again and it’s only €5 euro on Steam right now but the Ubisoft launcher is what rubs me the wrong way. Plus also already bought the game when it was just released on PS4. Still debating for this one since it’s only €5.
For Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s still way to pricey and it has Denuvo. So I will just wait it out until either Denuvo removed or an actual good sale happens.
Yes, I’m a pirate (you might notice due to the instance, I’m on). I know we can emulate Persona 5 Royal and there’s a way to play the full game of Metaphor: ReFantazio. But since both of them are immensely big story games, I would like to have them ‘legally’ (cloud saves, Steam wise). Plus another reason is; my backlog is quite huge, got at least 45 games still to play (with only half of the weekends to actually game)
You can play the division (1)? I thought it was like a hybrid online game and most of the content is basically inaccessible (I got TD2 for free from somewhere).
Yeah, The Division games are online. So can’t pirate them. But they very often go on sale (on Steam) for really cheap €5-10 euros. The problem is Ubisoft launcher.
I’m not sure about content being inaccessible though.
Gotcha.
Surprised its still online (considering Ubisoft and The Crew).
