That's a completely healthy and natural reaction for someone older than 12.
That's lame. Haven't touched epic store and wasn't planning on it, but I do want to play Outer Worlds since I like Obsidian. Will either just get it on the dumb epic store or wait for the steam drop and steam sale.looks like it will also be on the windows store (which means it will probably be play anywhere too :lawd)
i blame console pleb culture for making people think that paying money to make every other platform worse is great competition.
EGS also signed a deal with UbiSoft.probably the ones they just gave away for getting division 2. ghost recon, far cry, and watch dogs 2
Unspecified UbiSoft titles will come to EGS free of charge.
They really, really, really need to get Demon's Souls on PC next. Whole PS4 fanbase is waiting for it. It would melt the internet during announcement.That's my fetish.
I didn't even think OW might be play anywhere. Here's hoping.. :noah

Not neccesarily but when they have their exclusive games and dlc it is bad.
remember the days of exclusive pre-order dlc tied to various stores..horrible shit practice
1)
The Outer Worlds from Obsidian
Control from Remedy
Dauntless
SpellBreak
The Cycle
Ancestors
& More - Coming As Timed Exclusives To Epic Games Store
2) Former PS3/4 exclusives:
Heavy Rain
Beyond
Detroit - announced for PC - EGS exclusive for 1 year
Having multiple digital store fronts is bad for the consumer.Nah.
Y'all are full of shit and probably pirate games all the time that come to Steam anyways.Nope (https://i.imgur.com/5Dk2FzC.jpg)
I'll either pirate EGS exclusives on PC or just rent them on consoles.
Epic is helping me save money :bow2
Pirating games in 2019. :donotI'd give fitgirl more than my admin rights, if you catch my drift. :patel
Bitch about Epic but give admin rights to installers from warez groups, brehs.
I'm too lazy to pirate games. Now I just wait 2 years until they're on steam and sale for 75% off. Got enough of a backlog I'll never play. No rush to play anything these days.Yeah games go cheap fast and i dont have time to play them as it is, but if the only storefront was epic's or steam's, id probably have a different view.
can someone explain to me what the problem with the epic store is or why having exclusives on a free app is so awful

can someone explain to me what the problem with the epic store is or why having exclusives on a free app is so awfulI'm not going to bullshit you with some wacky Tencent or spyware conspiracy theories. Simply put: I'm already entrenched in Steam and don't want to move to another platform. I get what Epic is doing and don't fault them for trying to expand their marketshare, but I don't like what they're doing.
Wow Outer Worlds confirmed EGS exclusive.So you're going to pirate the game and still give them free advertising and word of mouth by playing it and discussing it on the internet, leading to further sales for them on EGS? You're still part of the problem by playing it in the first place.

why pirate a timed exclusive instead of just waiting ???The same reason why people pirate Game Of Thrones episodes instead of waiting for them to come out as dvd box set: Because you can.
Steam controllers :lol
Oxenfree is up for grabs on EGS now.
The Witness will be the next free game in 2 weeks which is absolutely amazing as the game is the best puzzle game in history.
I was assuming they still wanted to purchase it, just on Steam or whatever.why pirate a timed exclusive instead of just waiting ???The same reason why people pirate Game Of Thrones episodes instead of waiting for them to come out as dvd box set: Because you can.
Oxenfree is pretty meh Borys
Axiom Verge though :o 8) :-*
It was like I was back on Fileplanet trying to download the latest hot demo/patch. Thanks Epic Games for the memories.
But why would I take your opinion into account you watch animu and have an animu avatar
Maybe the order needs more waifu dragons?
Thimbleweed Park, Slime Rancher, Axiom Verge and Subnautica were not bundled before and weren‘t sold at heavy discounts. Getting them for free was pretty neat. :trumps
But why would I take your opinion into account you watch animu and have an animu avatar
Maybe the order needs more waifu dragons?
If we're discussing taste in games, shall we address your obsession with Ad Hominem?

Liking anime and having a big titted anime avatar is relevant in a discussion about taste in videogames, as its indicative of ones taste. It directly adresses somones tastenor lack thereof. I don't venture off topic.
If there is anything else you would like to add feel free :-*
One could say you are the one making this ad hominem chrono, as it has nothing to do with taste in games or taste in general.
I'm not saying Rax opinion is invalid to me due to something arbitrary like having a bee allergy (or the way he communicates like you are doing now), but by account of his taste.

I don't see how this is hard to understand.
Game companies can be greedy fucks. On digital streaming services we already witness properties being moved from service to service. Multiple games already have flip the script and moved from Steam when it was available for pre-order, to Epic's store. If you "buy" a game from Steam that Epic manages to coax into joining their storefront, they might have a condition that comes with "it can't be on steam". They might take their games *off* of Steam then. They already do fucked up shit with one store front. Square Enix had taken the original Sleeping Dogs completely off Steam when Definitive Edition came out to get you to buy Definitive Edition, even though the older version was better for people with old computers. If it's something that allows co-existence, something like GOG and fills its own niche, that's fine. But when it comes to competition? With digital products you "buy" (aka rent)? I bet you if you already bought a game on Steam that you do not get access to it on Epic's store.

Fun fact Epic still has issues with UPlay integration so they can't sell Ubisoft games XD
They still sell Ubi games, but you need to Google for their Epic store pages, they just have dissppeared from the store front page.:delicious
Stories Untold is for free now. RIME will be the next free title. I always wanted to play that :hyper

Enter the Gungeon is free today.
I am not sure you guys are aware, but launching the game from the Epic Launcher on PC and the GeForce Experience creates different save games and neither is accessible from the other. Very annoying.

Much more interested in the next game - Torchlight as I always wanted to play it. It's a proper and high quality Diablo clone.
Imagine thinking of free copy of Torchlight is something to excited about in the year of Our Lord 2019.

Ah yes, Epic helping out those "starving artists" by scooping up a popular game already near completion; from a developer that currently has ~1200 Patreon subscribers; who had already secured a publisher (Double Fine) and then dropped them in favor of "self-publishing" eight weeks ago.
I don't blame them, as the pair probably made off with half a million dollars each, but don't expect me to buy the game - especially not after that condescending blog post.
i have to agree with the "well i'll just pirate it" thing. truly a bitchmade cop out move on the part of sad gaming losers :lol

No, you are a man baby because of the way you absolutely freak out about it, threaten to pirate games, etc.
Simply not choosing to use EGS does not make someone a manbaby. There are plenty of people doing that without writing multiple essays on the topic.

They wanted to give us money, so we said yes. That's it! You don't need to shit on people who have no desire to use the EGS! You don't have to be a condescending prick talking down to folks who have no intention to use the store! You don't need to shit on folks who live in a country where the EGS is screwing you on currency.This is one of the most legitimate complaints about all this, along with promised Steam keys/pre-orders being canceled. The client is shit/hilariously barebones, but they'll get to it, some day...
Ooblets looks like a sweet and cute game. If it ever comes to Steam I'll probably still pick it up.

This ooblets game looks like straight to mobile trash. Does anybody really care where it’s being released?

I'm excited about it, but I haven't ever played a Pokemon game, which is its largest component, design-wise.
i swear this whole thing about EGS is pissing me off almost as much as gamergate used to. i fucking love video games just as much now as when i was a little kid, but the endless self-righteous screeching and complaining and entitlement over NOTHING makes it almost impossible to enjoy participating in any sort of online gaming community. finding people to discuss and celebrate good games is hard as hell when the conversations constantly turn towards something that resembles a fucking two-year-old screaming at their parents. stop demanding the impossible from devs, stop acting like everything is a personal attack, and walk away from shit you don't like instead of howling about how unfair it is.
tldr i fucking hate yall
Yeah chrono that makes no sense lol.
Every time you click it, Epic gets another free game but a game you don’t remember buying is removed from your Steam account.
Have you tried it on a different machine?
Never had these issues; it’s just featureless lol

I mean EGS sucks
Gotta say though, Sweeney reached Pitchfordian levels of PR nightmare. :lol
Half the free games I have from EGS, after downloading and installing, I then have to download and install a separate client from the publisher, and then download and install the game again from that client.So far the only 2 that I’ve got which do that are GTA5 and Watchdogs.
:beli
I've still been grabbing most of them.
Don't think I've played a single one :doge
Only game I've ever played on EGS was Control. And of course in the sales they won't put the season pass on sale even though they do on PS4.
Commercially, it’s a disaster. I can’t discuss exact numbers, but in the first few weeks fewer people bought the game than I have Twitter followers, and I don’t have a lot of Twitter followers (and this tells you a lot about how effective marketing via Twitter is).
So far, I have made $0 from the game. That may look like a high number, but consider that it took four years to make — that works out to approximately $0/year. Compared to the $120,000+/year salary of a 15-year veteran in a AAA studio, it begins to look a lot smaller! And then if I go into the hourly breakdown… I don’t have an actual count of hours spent making the game, but there was a lot of crunch that went into it, so I am guesstimating I made about $0/hour. That’s not a lot! And then once you factor in the ~$140,000 I spent paying my contractors and collaborators for the game, you begin to see that maybe it wasn’t, financially speaking, worth it. I guess I will have to wait a bit longer to buy that Juicero.
Joking aside — that’s dismal. And terrifying. At the end of the day it’s astounding that a game that got this much attention from the press, that won awards, that had an all-star cast of writers and performers, that had a bizarre celebrity guest appearance(!) failed this hard. It scares me.
I am going to be OK, at least for the moment. I don’t own a house, so I didn’t mortgage it to ship this game (being a millennial pays off!). I’m only responsible for myself, and I didn’t spend the last of my savings, plus I have marketable skills that I can hopefully use to keep myself fed in the future. I’m glad that I got to pay so many talented people for their skills, and that there were only a few folks getting paid through revenue share (there were a few, and I feel terrible about that). I am also very glad that many of the people who worked on this game are already using that fact and their experience to find other work with teams — if everyone else who worked on this ended up better for doing so, that’s a great reason to have made it.
Into the Breach is the 2nd repeat already. Booo~
All good stuff, but who doesn't have these games at this point :-X

Verdun actually has a mode where you sit in a frontline trench and fire at waves of bots coming across No Man's Land for high scores with random artillery strikes and chemical attacks (you need to put on your gas mask for these) everywhere, so very accurate to World War I gameplay. :lol It was the only mode with any players when I played it a few years back.
"Epic Games Store is unprofitable and not comparable to the App Store" the lawyers began, rather bluntly, "and will not be profitable for at least multiple years, if ever." Ouch!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAKOWcs8w54
But what's interesting is that Apple's legal eagles go on to break down just how unprofitable the Epic Games Store is. "Epic lost around $181 million on EGS in 2019. Epic projected to lose around $273 million on EGS in 2020. Indeed, Epic committed $444 million in minimum guarantees for 2020 alone, while projecting, even with 'significant' growth, only $401 million in revenue for that year. Epic acknowledges that trend will continue in the immediate future: Epic projects to lose around $139 million in 2021."
We’re excited to announce the initial rollout of the Epic Achievements system is on its way, including a set of tools for developers to activate platform Achievements quickly and easily. That means that starting next week, you can begin collecting XP by earning Epic Achievements in select games.
Over the last year, we’ve worked closely with some of our development partners to bring Epic Achievements to life. Thanks to their help, once we launch, you can start racking up XP in these games: Rocket League, Hades, Pillars of Eternity, Kena, Zombie Army 4, Alan Wake Remastered, and more. We’re working to get these tools to more developers, so you can expect to see Epic Achievements popping up in your favorite games later this year.
How do XP and Epic Achievements work?
Epic Achievements are sorted into four tiers based on their XP value, with the Platinum Achievement being awarded upon earning 1000 XP in a game. Here are the Epic Achievement tiers and the amount of additional XP you get for the Achievement:
Bronze = 5-45 XP
Silver = 50-95 XP
Gold = 100-200 XP
Platinum = 250 XP

Steam controller shit only works if the steam overlay is enabled, and EGS games launched via egs disable the steam overlay. If you try and add them via steam as non steam games and explicitly setting the overlay in launch options, a lot of egs games then don't allow you to play multiplayer.
The workaround is to add EGS (while closed) as a non steam game, and then launch it via steam, and then launch via that steam enabled egs.
Ive read this seven times and I still dont understand.
Ive read this seven times and I still dont understand.
1) shut down egs
2) add egs as a third party game inside steam
3) launch egs from steam, check steam overlay is working
4) you should now be able to launch games from the steam overlay enabled egs, and the steam overlay will persist allowing you to use your non-windows driver controller (also big picture mode if you use that)
yeah, the whole egs - if you press shift+tab while browsing the egs you opened via steam, and the steam overlay pops up, you should be good.
adding specific egs games individually doesnt work right, you have to add the entire egs as a 'game' to get it working.
