Fallout 4 PC is only partially on the disc in order to combat piracy

The folks over at Bethesda are apparently fed up with all this piracy business and are taking special measures to make sure that only paying customers will get to play Fallout 4. By now, everybody knows about the huge hype surrounding this highly anticipated open-world RPG, including pirates. Obviously, piracy is a real issue only on the PC, but that’s enough to make Bethesda think about implementing special measures that will make Fallout 4 impossible, or at the very least, very difficult to play without owning a legit copy of it. With that in mind, the company announced that PC gamers will not be able to install the game just by popping in the disk because many of the necessary files will have to be downloaded from Steam.

In short, you’ll need to be online and activate the game on Steam if you want to install it, which is a bit of a bummer for pirates who were thinking about getting Fallout 4 from torrent websites as soon as it launches. Pete Hines, Vice President of Marketing at Bethesda broke the news on Twitter last week and was extremely straightforward about it, too. Hines also confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Fallout 4 contain the full game, so you don’t have to worry about downloading extra files if you’re playing on those platforms.

Having said all, it would be pretty surprising if people couldn’t find a way to crack Fallout 4 and share it with the masses. Bethesda’s method will definitely make it harder, but at the end of the day there are very few games that couldn’t be pirated until now. Even Dragon Age Inquisition finally found its match, though it took a few months until the game made its way to torrent websites. On the other hand, now Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is reportedly pretty difficult to pirate, so maybe anti-piracy techniques are finally starting to work. Will that be case with Fallout 4 as well? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Fallout 4 is scheduled to launch on November 10 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Instead of thinking about pirating the game why not pre-order a digital copy from our friends over at CDKeys for just $40 and support the developers while you’re at it? If Fallout 3 and Skyrim are any indication, we’ll be playing Bethesda’s new RPG for years to come so this is definitely a worthwhile investment.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
