Guns with legs!
It looks like, again, I am going to play the Siren.
OOooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOoooohhhhhhhh
I've been looking forward to this one for a while, and the trailer sure makes it seem pretty awesome. Hopefully it will be exactly as awesome as it seems!
Gun with legs!
Gearbox,shut up and take my money!
Gearbox hasn't put out a good game in years, so I'm kind of worried about this.
But yeah, that trailer looks good at least.
Epic Store Exclusive! Though only for 6 months. Gearbox - very diplomatically - said it wasn't their choice, it was Take Two's.
That's the second major game (after THE OUTER WORLDS) that 2K has put on Epic, so I think that's a clear sign that RED DEAD 2 will also be an Epic exclusive when if hits PC. That'll go down well.
~shrugs~ So I wait 6 months. The plus side is that a lot of the bugs will (should) be fixed and the first DLC should almost be ready to come out.
Steam/Valve has yet to pick up the gauntlet they've been wuss-slapped with by Epic.
One hopes that GoG and Steam take solid note of Epic's significantly reduced cut (12% compared to Steam's 30%). One also hopes that they don't also emulate Epic's atrocious attitude towards their customers in the process.
I don't see what the big issue is.
From what I can gather the cumulative effect *might* reach a boiling point with this title. With several major titles in rapid succession being half-cooked, single-entity exclusivity for 6 months to a year and a series of WTF'ery across the aforementioned major titles game consumers might finally reach the point of "enough is enough!".
Dollars will ultimately tell the tale.
My problem is that I have heard lots of bad stories about Epic plus I already have way too many locations for my games. I do not want another one.
And what are you doing up at this ungodly hour, Turin?
You can add Epic Game titles to your Steam list (or just launch the game straight from the .exe), so that's not really an issue. Having a separate login for another service and the somewhat shady behaviour of Tencent (who own 40% of Epic) is another concern.
Although given how much of the complaining was on Reddit, which is also part-owned by Tencent, there was some irony to behold there.
Epic has more issues I have heard, such as not even having a shopping cart function and suspected malware.
Suspected malware and security issues are the big things for me. Let's not forget them just outright spying on your Steam stuff. I prefer Steam, but I'm willing to occasionally use other launchers/storefronts. But taking several games I like and saying "If you want to play them around release date, expose your computer to all of our well-documented problems"?
No. I want the games, but not that much. I may play on console, or I may wait, but I'm not going to buy from Epic no matter how many games they get their timed exclusives for. The thing about playing hardball is that you need to have something positive and appealing to consumers, and basically slapping people across the face with last-minute exclusivity isn't going to make people like you. That just puts them in the position of looking like they're pushing a bunch of other companies into outright lying to consumers, and I have no desire to support this.
Only reason for me to play on PC is the WASD+Mouse set up which works better for me than controller but I can do without.
