What a shitload of fuck
Oct. 30th, 2021 11:54 amSo, apparently, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider on PC were patched to remove Denuvo (even though the Steam pages for both still currently have the Denuvo label right there)... only for the Denuvo to be replaced with "Epic Online Services," whatever the fuck that is, which apparently requires you to create an account with Epic (even if you bought it through Steam) if you want to play them now. In other words, Square Enix simply traded one flavor of rancid diarrhea for another.
Both Rise and Shadow pretty much would have been almost no-brainer purchases for me, honestly, had Square Enix just not opted to infest them with all this worse-than-useless third party DRM horseshit.
Worse than that, though, they apparently tried/are trying to shoehorn that same Epic Online Services dumbfuckery into the original (remake) Tomb Raider game as well, after the fact. I.e. the only one of the games that I actually own on Steam myself, due to having not bought the two sequels because of the Denuvo malware.
Seriously, Square Enix can eat a truckload of shit at this point, for all I care about them anymore. And Denuvo and Epic can eat truckloads of shit simply for existing, to boot.
(Not going to bother providing links for any of that, but it's easy enough to Google.)

Kathy Rain: The Director's Cut
Oct. 30th, 2021 05:15 pm( Embedded tweets behind cut )
So yeah, to restate the above, I just finished Kathy Rain: The Director's Cut. While I own both this version and the original version, I've only played this version, since not too long after buying the original, they announced the new version, so I decided to just wait for that one.
And, yeah, if you've played the Gabriel Knight or Ben Jordan games, Kathy Rain is very similar to that. If not, then I guess Kathy Rain would be best described as a supernatural investigation point-and-click adventure game (same as GK and BJ). It's pretty good (as are GK and BJ).
