Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

[otteaux]

Damn that video, just got reminded how Black and White 2 was huge downgrade over B and W 1.

Black and White may have been one of the most hyped games of all time. There wasn't a gaming rag in existence back in '99-'00 that wasn't slobbering all over Molyneux and chugging down willingly whatever jizz was coming out of his mouth at the time.

I suppose Daikatana, Spore, Fable, and Myth would fall into that category as well.

oho Epic clearly targeting codex lately. next week PoE and T. I love how they use that old kickstarter artwork which show characters that are not in game lol.

I played through tyranny back when it was released, I thought it was alright, enjoyed it much more than pillars of eternity.

Anyone know of any good mods for tyranny?

seriously though i don't believe it. Epic would have to really spend top dollar. But if yes this is open war with Steam at this point they are clearly targeting most played games on steam.

Yeah, what I was interested in (DA3 and TW3) I already bought long time ago, but now it will be a good time to try out popamole stuff that I wouldn't buy. Some of these games do look interesting enough. I gave up resisting Epic already since they gave out free Rising Storm anyway. It's worth to make at least a throwaway account to check some of these games out.

Over half of those games aren't even on their shitty Store:

17.12 – Dying Light;
18.12 – Resident Evil 7;
20.12 – Mass Effect Andromeda;
22.12 – Metal Gear Solid V;
23.12 – The Evil Within 2;
25.12 – Fallout 4;
27.12 – Monster Hunter Worlds;
28.12 – Dragon Age Inquisition;
31.12 – Hitman 2.

Also retards should realize that companies don't give out shit "for free" out of the goodness of their hearts (see Facebook/Google), but that there's always an Alternative motive. Companies that are asking a fair price for a product or service are always less suspect than those pretending to be humanitarian.

 

[Belegarsson]

Own all of them aside from Borderlands 3 and Fallout 4. Should I be disappointed at myself?

Nice if true. I only need The Evil Within 2 though but that's more than enough.

Even if you're an extreme dirty cheap ass peasant, it goes on sale for 5 - 6 bucks quite often on retail sites.

Usually when Epic does freebie it adds game at the same time. GTA5 was added exactly when it become free same as shitload of other games.

Weak minded people are easily persuaded with free games. Joking aside, I would probably sign up for epic, but every time I remind myself that I have more then enough games in my backlog, which i want to play first. I don't need more games, even if they are free.

Interesting. I literally don't give a shit about any of these titles, and that's before we factor in EGS.

That fake list was already busted when it said Bethesda giving away their (newer) games, especially when they're going to be acquired by Microsoft.

 

[GrainWetski]

If they really release 15 ~AAA games for free, they should've spent half that money on making their store better for 'consumers' instead of trying to appeal to mindless consoomers. Consumer-friendly =/= consoomer-friendly.

I doubt even half of those are true. I could see Hitman 2, Dying Light and the EA/Ubisoft trash. Old and cheap/trash games. Do surprise me and throw tons of money at consoomers though, Sweeney Timm.

 

[V_K]

I love how people continue to discuss whether the list is fake or not even though a few posts above there's a tweet from Galyonkin (Epic's "Director of Publishing Strategy") saying that it definitely is fake.

 

[Raghar]

This is comparison between two web sites as now. Not much difference. I can understand complaining against losing ONE unified easily piratable platform like Steam, and instead having 6 launchers. But, I don't understand complaining against free games locked to you personally.

Even people who wanna fight against piracy would love to see pirates to get legally free content.

 

[Perkel]

yeah GOG galaxy is a thing. This is what i see, i never see Steam, Epic etc running.

Well, when it becomes more popular, expect MS, STEAM, and Epic creating combined launcher which would allow to do stuff like Galaxy. You'd never need to install 3rd party launcher directly. It would install as DLL just as in Galaxy.

BUT BUT EPIC IS BAD !!

Yes.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

you know, if you truly want to have them for free, you can already have them, any instant, anywhere, spyware free.
