Also man gently caress off Epic with your lovely service. It somehow even worst then Origin and the Microsoft Store since it trying to force third to use it only. At least the other two are just generally their games and other developers and indie games that are on the other services.

They had a few games announced at the Game Award like a new Super Giant game and a Obisian RPG, but both are Epic only for now.

They're leaning extremely heavy into "You use Unreal engine, you are exclusive to our store" going by the videogame awards. At least for indies.

I hope this is true, but I would guess a lot of publishers pay attention to week-1 sales over everything else.

Bethesda has gone on record before saying that they're cool with funding slow burn niche hits like everything Arkane does. Whether that's still true in light of Fallout 76 or whether or not you trust them at all is another story.


I can't help but be annoyed by the price point considering the original was a scant $20 on release.

Sunset Overdrive is on steam and runs better than the Windows 10 store incarnation, so Microsoft at least knows where to put the best version of the game on.

I mean its a trailer, footage could be total bullshit. But at least it looks like it could be fun if not a severe bug landmine, which at this rate next year should be "Not explode your PC" given Bethesda's current trend.

How similar is Occupy White Walls (that art museum creator game) to Tower Unite? I am loving the interface in OWW and want to build more, design pretty places - !

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:

Nothing alike. Tower Unite is a minigame server.

Hello I play entirely too much Tower Unite and I would like to correct this misinformation. It is in fact a minigame collection, and you take the money you make from those games to decorate your houses. If customizing a place is your thing you will have a good fuckin time with Tower Unite, probably. It's also an excellent "hang out online" game, and a pretty good "go on safari and see weird poo poo people have made" game.

I've got a thread for it over here full of weird poo poo I've seen https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3838146 Need to update it soon.

Or indies would rather give Epic a 12% store cut while waiving the 5% engine license fee instead of Valve a 30% cut plus the 5%. It'll be interesting to see how successful it will be. Indies always say it is hard to breakthrough on Steam nowadays. Which is better, larger exposure to a smaller audience with a bigger cut of the profits or smaller exposure to a much larger audience with a smaller cut of the profits?

i dont care, the store should have search bar, browsing and categories now before they actually acquire a lot of games. why is this stuff not in now, like the steamspy guy said he's been working on this for years and yet they're choosing to start at the bottom of the hill and pedal upwards

the client library has no categories, sorting, alternate modes. no compact mode, no TV mode. no controller menu, so presumably no controller remapping, and i'm installing shadow complex to see if there's any kind of overlay but i suspect that there won't be
