What is this "clearing" of backlog you speak of?

E: ^ I haven't played Heroes yet but the original Hammerwatch was pretty fun if a bit repetitive and mindless and Heroes is supposedly an improvement on that.

There was a shareholder meeting a while back where the Metro publishers suggested they were disappointed with PC sales (tellingly, I don't think any of their games since have been Epic-only) and I think Control also undersold. Control was also one of the top-selling games on EGS last year, according to Epic themselves.

Honestly Control running like dogshit on consoles probably had much more of an impact on sales than what PC launcher it was on.

Anyone check out Coffee Talk yet? It looks like Valhalla (whatever weird spelling they use for it) but with coffee and elves which sounds like my jam.

Quick trip report from the Game Festival Demos I've Tried:

Jack Axe: A Super Meat Boy-ish platformer with the main gimmick is an axe that you can throw and then use to slingshot yourself over gaps. Could be worth keeping an eye on.

Garden Story: A cute Zelda type game. The demo is unfortunately too short to get a real good read on.

Evan's Remains: It seems like it could be interesting but the puzzles in the demo were pretty basic so unless there is some kind of collectable or they add some more complex mechanics this could end up being a pretty shallow game.

Chicory: Charming paint-em-up that I'll definitely keep an eye on.

Coffee Talk: Seems okay, I guess?

Going Under: Hades but with Late-Stage Capitalism instead of Ancient Greece.

Quench: Hard crashed my laptop during the intro. :gonk:

Tunche: A neat little beat-em-up. But why is Hat Girl here? :confused:

Anyone know which of the Cities Skylines DLCs are worth getting?
I haven't played the latest one so I can't comment on that one but I'd say After Dark, Mass Transit, and Green Cities are the must-have DLCs. Parklife, Industries, and Campus are fine if you're looking for more nuance than just "plop zones down" but are skippable if you aren't interested. The only one I would definitely avoid is Snowfall.

Yeah, that definitely seems like something you should put a big "Do you want to enable this? Y/N" prompt when they first boot the game.

Question on Terraria: What size world should I play on, for my first time? (Well, not really, but more like first time to really commit to it)

Personally I find small maps a bit cramped with all the biomes and stuff and prefer medium sized maps but it's perfectly playable regardless of map size.

How in the world did they manage to untangle the 30 year old tangle of spaghetti that is the SRW licensing hell? I did not think that was going to happen like, ever.

I'm pretty sure most of that is because there's no Macross stuff in this one so they don't have to deal with Harmony Gold being poop from a butt.

All three of the FC6 DLCs are roguelikes. Vaas is probably the best because it really leans into how Jason and Vaas are two sides of the same coin and how Citra was the real villain. Pagan was pretty meh with your nemesis being just some guy who insults you now and then and I don't really have any desire to go back for the Joseph one. They were all pretty underwhelming and you can just YouTube the story scenes if you must.

There weren't ever any exclusive games for the launcher, right, it was just another one of those vestigial front-ends?

The original plan was for all their games to be exclusive to BETHNET but had to back off from that after the backlash.

The perfect metaphor for Elden Ring's upgrading system is in the very first church they give you one smithing stone and an anvil to upgrade your weapons with.

You need two smithing stones to upgrade a base weapon.

Also Garriott owns the rights to the "Lord British" character, so they can't just remake the old Ultima games without either getting his permission to use the character (which is... unlikely) or cutting Lord British out entirely.

If Epic didn't have the Fortnite cash cow they'd be in bad shape I suspect.

Eh, they might not have all the money like they do now but they do still own the game engine that's the backbone of like 2/3rds of the games industry. So while they probably couldn't afford to piss away vast sums of money on the EGS vanity project they're in no danger of going under without $Fortnite.

Yeah could you imagine a dude diving four yards deep into the end zone and being called down at the 1.

People would riot like that Browns game

Could be worse, they could rule that you lost control of the ball briefly which is a fumble out of the end zone and by rule is a touchback for the other team.
