Denuvo is Hurting this Game | The Callisto Protocol 

I busted out laughing at 2am when I saw that 🤣

Good call, chief 👍🏻

Thank you

This should be pinned

I love how you can see the blue flashes over his face lmao

maybe for crushing rocks/asteroids/meteors(?)/raw materials

Rule of cool / grimdark

it explains that it's designed as a trap for escaping prisoners

they dont want tough meat

​@@oakleyves Wow , they REALLY don't want their prisoners to escape.

Yep, and yet you got losers who’ll defend Denuvo like the idiots they are.

Which is hilarious, because Doom Eternal proved that Denuvo causes CONSIDERABLE performance issues, as the second they removed it due to backlash, the game ran at a smooth, frame-dropless 1080p on a GTX 1060. They can claim all they want that it doesnt affect performance, but that's bullshit posturing as there's more evidence it shits on frame timing than exists evidence of it not.

​@IrisCorven It's money laundering

There are a lot of games that run well made in UE4 even fast paced games like Tekken 7 but you must be right on the money with the data uploading thing. Ubisoft games do that a lot and it tanks framerate at set intervals everytime. Denuvo is crazy stupid.

@@marcusshane fighting games aren't visually complex enough to have these kinds of issues. Expansive, high fidelity, more open games tend to have these issues. UE is good at handling games with a tight scopes and simpler graphics, but once you try to expand that games scope, UE falls apart .

@@shotwell25 True. I was talking about the pacing of the game since stuttering can be real bad if the game is fast paced but yeah the more open the world, the more it slugs.

big companies love denuvo on their game

@@marcusshane The last time I saw a Ubisoft open world really chug was maybe Origins and Odyssey's cities but those games performance could also partially be blamed on the API's that they used. Both of them ran intensive parallelized workloads that butchered older 2-6 core CPUs and had to brute force the API overhead that came along with DX11.

I noticed the transition to the finisher cutscene when you die is not seamless but abrupt disrupting the fluent gameplay. This is troublesome since it breaks the immersion in the game since it looks disconnected from the context and sequence of actions of your play. I would prefer something similar to GOW were you can die without disrupting the gameplay. They could integrate the gruesome finishers in the actual game engine and not in some pre-recorded video cutscenes.

they barely have enemies

@@Markoul11 good point

That's what makes it stale in my opinion. It practically forces every encounter to be the same. If they had implemented dynamic mutations, or just randomized it would be rad too.

Then it would just be dead space reskinned, if I wanted to play dead space I would have waited for the remake or play the original. So this game is a bit of fresh air, especially with the dodge mechanic, not too many games have that

@@christianfleitas7467 a lot of games have a dodge mechanic

@@christianfleitas7467 Callisto isn’t fun not one bit and it’s not even close to horror there’s nothing good about it in my opinion other than the graphics that’s about it, the game is very repetitive g

@@lysergic4169 Yeah, but not like this

It is. I am not a fan of the gameplay though. I have been waiting SO long for this game and I WANT to love it... But I just don't. It's a bummer.

I would’ve been a great video game too if it didnt suck

Exactly, the guns are there to make the gameplay easier, I accidentally alerted a huge group of those blind zombies and the only reason I survived was because of the Riot gun.

Your words are meaningless copy pasta if you don’t give examples of why it’s bad. I watched a long play and thought it was pretty good for a first IP

Yea watched the rest last night, it was so so so painful for him and the whole chat.

@@superspice5659 how are they meaningless? You rly expect him to give examples to a random person on the internet, even tho you can just watch the video and see for yourself? Get a grip.

@@superspice5659 I streamed the entire game, beat it in 9.5 hours and was part of the first 0.78% of Xbox players to do so. So I think I have a clue - but sure, lets give reasons. There are only two bosses, which is perfectly fine for a shorter game, but one of those bosses gets reused four different times. First time was pretty good, but then it appeared again in a more cramped space and with an occasional zombie to help it. The problem with the combat of the game is that dodging only really functions in one on one combat - when multiple enemies are there, it kinda breaks down. Where it's an actual problem is in the boss fight where the boss can just kill you in one hit. I played on Medium so I don't know if it kills in one hit on Easy, too. But since it will attack at the same time as the little guys, if you happen to dodge their attack and not the boss, the boss kills you and makes you start over. Third time fighting it is in a tiny and cramped server room, so you're basically just holding the stick to one side and shooting it after the automatic dodge so aside from being stuck in a corner the entire fight with the camera bugging out, it was doable. Then the forth time is in a big room with another occasional enemy and an occasional exploder. Got caught in that crap dodge mechanic when the boss attacked at the same time as the little guy so I had to retry it once. Final boss is two phases. One where you literally just sit there and dodge upwards of 6 attacks at a time, then you melee and trick shot. You rinse and repeat that about five times, likely seeing the same knockback animation multiple times, then phase two happens. He only has two attacks, a ranged and a melee, and of course the melee kills in one hit. You blast his shield, then shoot his face. You can literally just strafe run the entire fight and he'll never hit you because of auto dodge, but every other time he brings back his face shield, four exploders also show up and pester you so you have to run around taking them out before dealing with the boss. It was either frustratingly unfun or boring, no in between. Next, lets talk about the combat as it pertains to the rest of the game since the enemy variety is basically spit. There's zombie, armor zombie, fat zombie, zombie that spits, zombie that can't see, the mutations, and sneaky zombie. Sneaky was the best one because it could crawl on walls and turn invisible sometimes, but all of them, the entire list, all just revert to basic dodge melee, melee back and trick shot. They're all dealt with the same exact way in the end. Head Egg only does one thing, grab you and make you press Y over and over. Never once got killed by it, but they sure threw plenty of them into the game lest you forget they even exist. No variation in the dozen times they appear, either. Same with the larva. They jump out of lockers and boxes, and they do it like 30 times through the game, which again, is a very short game, so you'll see it *a lot*. And again, there's no variation in it. It's the same thing every time. It was mildly surprising the first time, but 29 additional times? Not really. What about the story? With several veterans from the team that made Dead Space originally, I was excited to see what they came up with. I mean, an alien artifact to be studied that passively morphed people into monsters that would eventually all be amassed into a living moon? Wild stuff. But this? We found a parasite, killed it, took larva from inside it and found out they can turn a person into a murderous zombie... So a cult of rich elites decided to fuck over a colony to see what would happen and subsequently build a prison to experiment with it because that murderous braindead zombie, in the eyes of rich elite cultists, was the peak of human evolution and thus advance out goals of deep space travel and colonization. And despite secret rooms as early as the first 3rd of the game essentially revealing that, it's revealed in the end in a way that's meant to be so shocking and mind blowing, but it's not. It's more silly than anything. Then of course they cop-out of the semi-dramatic redemption plot at the end to set up the DLC that'll come next year. This wasn't a good game. It was gorgeous to look at, there's ZERO denying that, but reusing the same boss 4 times in less than three hours is ass. The combat literally never evolves and neither do the enemies. They seem different on the surface, but they all fight the same exact way in the end. It's just boring. And with big free features being added like NG+ in February, I can't help but wonder if they only released it now because they wanted to beat the remake of their OG design rather than make a genuinely great experience. And to each their own, but coming hot off the heels of GoW:R? There's no fucking way.

@@the_gasx6622 Lol, and yet I really explained it to him in full detail anyways. People will dismiss literally any truth if they simply don't wish to hear it because that's easier than acknowledging a game is far from perfect.

Lmao it start3d playing in my head immediately after I read that.

the author of Dead space also made this (monster design, story etc..)

you need a long time for that, there is no persona 5 crack for now

@@lukasdeen6226 Pirates take their time

@@SoVega301 The scene is kind of dead AFAIK. There is only a couple of people left willing to go through the headache of cracking Denuvo, one of them being a girl called 'EMPRESS'. And she's pretty much the only active one right now.

@@garybuttherissilent5896 Doubt empress is a girl, same with FitGirl. But Denuovo is killing PC games.

@@lukasdeen6226 empress is cracking Hogwarts legacy and dead space/ callisto protocol is probably next

A worse game?

@@MumboJumboZXC yes which is why I said originally. They used a lot of the same skins & ideas in this "game"

Your comment makes no sense.

@@matthewhall9692 muh muh muh muh muh

@@matthewhall9692 mf how? he thinks this is more like their concept vision (or at least pre-release vision) for dead space. concept/pre-release ideas for games can actually be worse than the release version

I have no ads on my video literally at all, in fact it’s incredibly rare I even get an ad during any videos it’s always 1-2 ads before the video

I think something was in his teeth and he as digging it out with his shirt

If you have ps5- buy the game If you have PC- dont buy the game. Simple

You should buy the game and judge it for yourself. REMEMBER you can always return the game if in fact you do not like in the first few hours playing

I got it on Xbox Series X and Im loving it so far, but 5 hours in theres not many enemy variants and its alot of beatem up shootem up. But the story and voice acting is great so far. I recommend atleast giving it a try when the price drops. Im a little biased towards anything Glen Scofield though. *Edit* I finished it last night, its not a bad game, very repetitive and the ending set up too much for a sequal/DLC story to finish which ticked me off. The final bosses are a joke too, all attacks one hit kill you and you have to use the dodge mechanic and shoot the hell out of them. Overall I’d give it a 6/10 graphics, acting, and story (till the ending) were great. The combat looks and sounds were great and satisfying but is very repetitive with the dodge dodge, smack smack, shoot combo. The game is easy and hard at the same time where nothing can hurt you but when it does it hurts alot. Plus repetitive enemies. Overall, wait for a price drop, and give it ago if you like a action beatem up with light horror elements.

The combat is genuinely boring dogshit and I have a huge tolerance for repetitive gameplay. I was able to play and enjoy the new God of War games, which while the combat isn't BAD, it's all very simple. This game was garbage and Steam still refunded me somehow, which tells me that it's trash quality is widely known.

The stutter is only reportedly occurring on the pc release, just as well a concurrent release (marvel midnight sun) has the exact same issue. So yes. It IS denuvos fault

If that encrypted denuvo VM didn't need constant interaction with the UE4-engine those shaders & more could've been handled on-the-fly without either crashing or slowing the game down to a constant crawl (which also still happens even after compilation and the latest patch btw) and without devs needing double to triple overtime shifts to fix so many issues on release.. that "protection fee" should've gone to QA instead.

@@interlace84 please watch the digital foundry video

@@llooyydd1997 to some extent but lets not pretend that unreal engine and many other dx12 engines don't have inefficient and intrusive ways of handling shader caching.

@@justinsooroojdeen425 that may be but we're talking about an intrusive form of drm/anti cheat for a game that didn't need it that is exclusively harming pc adopters

Nahhhhh, this man really said “just play the game twice to fix the stuttering”😂😭

One compound word: shareholders.

@@mr.nazareth4501 Yeah because this combat system and overall gameplay truly impressed the shareholders.

You said “doge dodge hit” and all I could think of was dark souls lol

@ConfusedZebra Dark Souls gives you a lot more options than that lol. You can dodge, block, reposition with walking or running, parry, or tank it. And you can swing a lot more in dark souls without being brutally punished for it. If the enemy isn't attacking, you should be. Which is not true of this game where if you attack without dodging first, the enemy is likely to smack you through your swing. And don't forget the absolute BS of that stretch Armstrong smack through the railing.

Personally I think you're delusional

ok

@@aybaws aa

About time somebody offered some actual criticism about the core gameplay. Performance issues can be fixed but you can't polish a turd. I hope they can reuse the dodging system though, I think the press b to roll meta is getting a bit stale, feels like it makes combat more exciting than Dead Space

It’s real sad when the best thing to say about a game is they could make a good sequel

No, Elden Ring is just standard Dark Souls fans accelerated to the nth degree because of the popularity. I don't know if you remember when Artorias of the Abyss dropped but everybody was bitching about the balance then too, good luck trying to avoid someone with Dark Bead or the Giant Dads. And I don't even think they ever bothered to fix it! I've always tried to keep positive in thinking that nobody sets out to make a bad game, it just happens because of the influence of people with money, AS FUCKING ALWAYS.

You had me until elden ring

I tried. Passed out less than two hours in to the video.

You have no life

4 hours for a 70 dollar game on consoles? No thanks. Wait for the Denuvo-less cracked version on PC.

For me it’s watching him still not have a handle on the dodge/melee combat and blaming the game when he gets hit

@@kevinwendellcrumb1802I mean to be totally fair the dodge mechanic is dog shit🤷‍♂️

when they stop making ps4 games? Sure

He literally said in the beginning he doesn't feel like replaying the hours that he had already put into if it can run decently on pc... He does have a PS5

Yeah no. It shouldn't take three to four months to fix a game that should've been playable on LAUNCH. This game blows chunks and you're just blind from that cuz the consoomer mindset has already rotted your brain XD

Im glad you enjoyed it but if you think this is a 9/10 you need to play more games dude

he was talking about the quality for the pc

Also it's 70 fuckin dollars. There is no "for what it is." It's either great or it's not, and for 70 bucks, it better be one of the best damn games I've ever played.

Same and I’m enjoying every second 😅

So basically, if the game wasn't shit, it would be good
