I don’t think you need to be ultra-skilled for 1V1, you just need to use your head and outsmart the opposition.

Hold X to surrender.

The 1V1 mode is actually quite good. I’ve only done one match on it but I did win it.

I played this on Saturday with randoms and one guy on my team just repeatedly chose Bastion and then died immediately. I wanted to rip his fucking Jingle Balls off.

Brotherhood had the best online mode of any AC game IMHO.

It looks like a badly drawn 90's Disney backround character.

I just want to come out and say that I called this as being at least the ‘official’ reason.

Weren’t the old 360 versions already backwards compatible on Xbox One though?

If they were going to patch any face out of this game then it should have been this one.

I don’t even think the face is that weird tbh, we saw much worse in the ‘dead eyes’ period of the 360 and PS3.

I love that they have included this in the patch notes and how they’ve described it.

People actually worry about stuff like this? Wow.

I actually agree with you. I would much prefer it if DRM wasn’t there. There have been times when it has been a real pain in my arse and has hindered me as a genuine customer.

CDPR have actually started to creep DRM back in. You need to have valid GOG Galaxy credentials and a valid license to access the online servers in No Man’s Sky.

My biggest problem with the Windows 10 Store is the way that the apps run (i.e. in an encrypted container) so they cannot be added to Steam. I did get Gears 4 from the Windows 10 Store but I do generally avoid it as a platform unless it’s completely unavoidable.

Its interesting to me that the Windows 10 Store DRM is far more obtrusive and anti-consumerist than Denuvo IMHO but people don’t seem to be gunning for Microsoft in the same way.

The official marketing blurb for Denuvo has always stated that it is designed to protect IP during that business critical “initial launch period”.

I’m afraid you’re in a minority although I respect you for taking a stand. Most people who play Doom on Steam wouldn’t even know what Denuvo was or that it was in there.

Well Denuvo requires frequent online checkins and reactivation upon every hardware change. It also for some reason rendered the Vulkan version of Doom unusable offline.

It did and it didn’t. It protected the game for almost 3 months. It just didn’t protect it for quite as long as Denuvo might have liked.
