Mini_Moonpie, do games w I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store

If the list on PCGamingWiki is up to date, there aren’t many Epic exclusives anymore (only 26 currently): pcgamingwiki.com/…/List_of_games_exclusive_to_Epi…

And, earlier this year, Tim Sweeney said that many of exclusivity deals weren’t a good investment while the free games have been “magical.”

So, it seems like a problem that is solving itself over time. Epic will probably still have exclusives going forward, but I would expect them to target a few high-value exclusives like they got with Alan Wake 2. Or, maybe they will just do more acquisitions of games to self-publish, like they did with Rocket League and Fall Guys.

If there’s an epic games game you want but don’t want to use the epic launcher or you’re on Linux, Heroic Games launcher id a good choice

You wouldn’t complain if it was only available on Steam so fuck off

Vespair,

Steam doesn’t engage in the same kind of strong-arming and anti-consumer practices, so it’s not exactly comparable, is it?

Kecessa,

The fact that they take a 30% cut and it’s used to enrich a billionaire is very much anti consumer.

Oh we’d find something to complain about.

Duamerthrax,

I’m pretty annoyed when a game isn’t on GoG.

Kecessa,

Where are all the memes about Steam exclusives then?

Duamerthrax,

Not my problem.

Pyrin,

Let me know when the last time it was that Steam tried locking in exclusivity deals with games. I'll wait.

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn’t banging is drunk and on drugs

I want a nightdive port of that so fucking bad

EmpathicVagrant,

I was unreasonably excited when I saw it on my ps5.

I never really had sounds in the 90s. Always caused my mom to get headaches. All video games were played on low or no volume.

grue,

You poor bastard.

I started playing Day of the Tentacle without voices because I couldn’t figure out the sound configuration.

This has been Gothic for me, although it missed the 90’s mark by just a bit

Sir_Premiumhengst,

Dito. And Gothic 1 is from '98

Any of the Legacy of Kain games

xkbx,

You gotta change that book to encyclopedia size. The amount of shenanigans you can’t explain without going into the other tomfoolery Amy Hennig and the rest of those wacky geniuses came up with…

AngryCommieKender,

Did Soul Reaver 3 ever come out?

xkbx,

Legacy Of Kain: Defiance is the closest we’ll ever get ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

Still love all those games, though

Aielman15, do games w Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically?
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Instead of gradually lowering the prices, publishers tend to keep the original price and give it higher discounts as time goes on. People read it and think “wow, it’s 90% off! I can’t miss this deal!” and buy the game.

NFS Unbound wasn’t taken too well by the community. I recently replayed NFS Heat (which was the release before unbound) and it is still a great modern NFS game!

RedBauble, do games w Playing BIONICLE Heroes on Arch because I can

That’s so cool, I almost forgot this game had a PC version. I uses to play it a lot as a kid, but I only 109%'ed it a coupleof years ago on the Wii. I guess it runs using Proton?

daggermoon,

Yeah it runs pretty well in Proton. I’m using the Heroic launcher. I had to Use Wine-GE to run the installer, otherwise it kept failing. After I installed it I set it to use the latest Proton-GE. It runs just as good as it does on Windows.

v4ld1z, do games w Playing BIONICLE Heroes on Arch because I can

Damn I remember playing it all the way through and unlocking that special character. I think they were white and had an arched back or something? Shooting spikes or pellets or something

Now that’s a game with SOUL

Horsey, do games w Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild

It’s utterly shocking that RS is still going… everything about the game has not aged well in any sense and yet there’s still 50K people who still play that trash at a time.

Jestzer,

It looks like the number of people who RuneScape (3?) is less than that, but OSRS seems to have a healthy population.

rickyrigatoni,

It’s a genuinely good game for the “watching numbers go up as I also watch youtube on another screen” crowd.

faltryka, do gaming w You won't be able to unsee it

I had no idea that was a nose. I always thought it was a mouth.
