FlashMobOfOne, do games w Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s literally the only reason I have Epic on my PC.

Free games every week.

adarza,

i went a couple years, pretty steady. now it’s whenever i remember–and it’s not been that often. only one during the winter deals.

I have a reminder to check it on my Proton calendar every week, haha.

You can just claim them on the webpage, no need to install the launcher.

wccrawford,

Sure, but if he wants to play them, he’ll need the client. And it sounds like actually does want to play them.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Heroic is also on Windows and Mac. It works with GOG too so that’s one less launcher necessary.

And thats exactly why Epic is untrustworthy. Its like a shady guy on the corner saying “Hey i will give you 500 bucks if you just do this easy little thing for me. Will be done right away no worries”.

That makes GOG untrustworthy as well, I guess, since I have 300 games on there, but never bought one.

unexposedhazard,

With GOG you can download all game files to your local storage and play them even if GOG goes to shit. Thats the difference. But yes Steam is the same as Epic in that regard.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

You commented on a post about a dude who never bought from Epic but still has 200 games there, that Epic is shady for doing this.

I said by that logic, GOG is shady as well, because they also give away tons of games.

Just saying that labeling them as untrustworthy, just because they give away games, doesn’t make sense. Steam was never mentioned, or the business practices of different storefronts.

unexposedhazard,

Epic doesnt give games away. They give temporary licenses to games away which they can always take from you. Epic uses this to get people onto and dependent on their platform so they can then extract money from them. GOG has no way to extract money from people like that and has no leverage against their customers.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

What are you even talking about? Why is Epic “extracting money” but GOG is not? Do you mean if you lose your games on Epic you will buy them again on Epic? Nobody does that, and it doesn’t happen in the first place.

Kelly,

Epic needs to pump their MAU stats to look like a legitimate platform. They know what’s going on and are happy to pay.

What I don’t know is what they actually pay the publishers.

Kecessa,

It’s their marketing budget they’re spending on that

He is not wrong though. :D Maybe this post is a follow up meme?

DemBoSain, do games w Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

I haven’t bought Starfield, was waiting for sub-$25. If there are no mods, I’m lowering that to sub-$10.

ieightpi,

Seriously what a clusterfuck of a game this has been. I’m so happy I didn’t bite and buy it yet.

It’s nice Bethesda wants to pull a Cyberpunk, but Starfield at it’s core just isn’t as good. I’m all for some redeeming updates though, because at least there would be something to come back to

KISSmyOS, do games w Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield

“all new ways of traveling”

Will they add a metro?

If the modding community likes Starfield it should really help with the emptiness of space at least. I can imagine the idea of just building an entire quest line in your selected planet would be nice for avoiding mod conflicts

Katana314,

I’ve heard secondhand the people working on a coop mod, after making one for Skyrim, gave up on it after deciding the game is just bad and uninteresting.

Ilflish,

I know that happened but I’d need to see more of a consensus from modders before I call it a wash. If modders continue to add to the game, it will likely become more appealing and the actual foundation to add mods seems pretty decent.

Nakey Jakey recently did a super indepth video on what is wrong with Starfield. And suffice it to say, I’ve removed the game from my wishlist. There’s betterr games to spend my money on.

ryathal,

It’s almost always better to wait on Bethesda titles and buy the goty/complete edition a few years later.

ieightpi,

Maybe it’s time to just stop giving Bethesda money all together. Or until they start releasing games when they’re finished.

Guess that could be said about any AAA company though

wildginger,

Man, if they release a “pokemon emerald” version of starfield and slap a goty title on it, that just confirms the company only breathes in order to try and blow smoke up our asses

WatTyler,

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I’d point you in the direction of PatricianTV’s Starfield analysis.

iheartneopets,

I for one absolutely do, thanks for the rec

WatTyler,

You’re very welcome. If you get the chance, let me know what you thought of it.

saze,

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

WatTyler,

Advice for consumption Patrician himself posted on his 24-hr Skyrim analysis:

  • Use the YouTube chapters.
  • Play it in the background or on a second monitor.
  • Don’t rely on YouTube accurately tracking your progress through the vid. Comment a timestamp to use as a bookmark instead.
Iapar,

Commenting a timestamp is a nice way to get “engagement” for the algorithm.

WatTyler,

Absolutely but it is also far more reliable than however YouTube tracks your progress. A win-win.

Iapar,

I agree.

Pratai, do games w Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield

Soooo… they are working with the unpaid modders to make more content they’ll surely charge for.

SOOOOO glad Sony didn’t buy that garbage.

what?

lud,

Why does it matter to you what Sony buys?

Pratai,

Why does what matters to me, matter to you?

lud,

It doesn’t matter to me. I am just curious as to why it matters to you.

Pratai,

It doesn’t matter to me. I’m just glad Sony didn’t buy them out.

It’s just weird, that’s all.

Starfield is a fucking joke.

Fades, do games w Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield

I got a little excited but when I read the comment… kinda don’t care given I already finished playing sf.

I’ll pick it up again when creation kit drops and someone actually adds something to it
