Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

[Perkel]

Epic does have though nice download speeds unlike steam:

and i am limited by my SSD which is hitting 550max write my disc has:

Meanwhile on Steam, barely half of my ascended speed:

 

[exe]

oh no the horror, 30min for 90gb

 

[Berekän]

You're probably the only guy downloading anything from Epic so you're getting their whole bandwith for yourself, lucky you.

 

[Reinhardt]

Well, if you were epic manager and had to chose between shopping cart or two-factor authentication what would you pick?

Neither since both are for fucking idiots.

Downloading Destiny 2 and Borderlands 3.

 

[Perkel]

oh no the horror, 30min for 90gb

It is amazing to have such issues. I had just 3,5MB/s max until this morning.

 

[Perkel]

It is faster for me to download game than to copy it from my hard drive to SSD.
What a time to be alive.

 

[Perkel]

I just downloaded Just Cause 4 (48GB) in 12 minutes and half of that time game was verifying files.
And i deleted it. It feels sooo filthy.

On one hand, nice that these games are making a comeback.

On the other hand... you know full well what I mean.

 

[Perkel]

They will be using neversoft skateboard scripting when it comes to skateboard handling.
So basically old gameplay with new graphics.

Loved THPS1-3 didn't like new ones where they started to add shit.

The strangely specific april 28-may 21 interval makes me think they're gonna gift a AAA game. None of the ones currently in the store though, they just had their Spring Sale.

GTA 5 For Free on Epic Games Store
Here's a big one – a reliable source has informed us that starting tomorrow, Epic Games Store will offer the full version of Grand Theft Auto 5 – for free.

Believable. Could be a way to profit from online microtransactions now that it's been in several sales.

 

[DalekFlay]

Way more than several, the game is 7 fucking years old (yes your life is vanishing before your eyes).

 

[LESS T_T]

If true Epic should have paid mega bucks for this too. It was in the Platinum tier (Top 12) of best sellers on Steam in 2019, and it's still hovering around the top end of the list with a discount. (Speaking of it's #10 right now WITHOUT discount.) Also it's still in top 10 seller on consoles too.

Wonder which was more expensive: one month half-exclusive of RDR2 vs. giveaway of GTA5

[edit]nvm it's unrelated

Which was most pointless, honestly. If Epic is gonna take on Steam they need a lot more exclusives, and exclusives longer than 1-6 months, and to improve their client rapidly while they force people to use it (which they're not). Should have used their big bucks to acquire some studios or fund some games, IMO.

Bullshit. It was released in...2013....oh my god...

 

[Clockwork Knight]

So it was GTAV

Remember not too long ago when Sega gave away an almost 10 year old game but Steam was incapable of fixing the price for hours on end? It'll be interesting to see which is faster: Epic fixing their servers or Steam fixing the price of a single game.

So far my launcher's language has changed into arabic, russian german and some kind of asian alphabet. Gaming AND culture, what a store.

Just redeemed my free GTA5. Didn't even need to have 2FA enabled.

As expected, the collective meltdown over this on the Steam forum is absolutely glorious!

Dat desperate coping!
The steamtard tears kept me entertained until Epikkk had their servers fixed.

"Don't forget to bring up the Sega giveaway, or no bat soup tomorrow!"

No bat soup for me, just free games!
You, on the other hand, have to swallow Gaben's jizm and pay for it, all the while shilling on gaming forums how great it tastes. You cuck.
