Graphics are overrated, and people who “won’t play a game because it has bad graphics” are missing out on so so much

I do not like opening multiple game launchers. You are crazy

Were the graphics bad for their time?

The clear solution is a single centralized launcher for all these launchers.

kewwwi,
reksas,

And after some years, launcher-launcher-launcher

graymess,

Playnite does a great job at this. GOG Galaxy isn’t bad either last I checked.

I made an Epic account years ago for the freebies. I’m not sure, but I’d bet I never played a single one.

Kecessa,

If you claimed all of them you’ve got some seriously great games in there… Control, Subnautica, Alien Isolation, all the Tomb Raider games, Evil Within…

gever4ever,

They even gave out the complete Sims 2.

Kecessa, (edited )

I think they gave Civ 6 too, so that’s at least two games for addicts

AngryCommieKender,

I don’t have Civ6, but they did give us Cities Skylines, and Europa Universalis IV

Kecessa,

Four games that by themselves can use more of your free time than you will have for the rest of your life…

AngryCommieKender,

I don’t have Sims 2, I have Sims 4, but I may have missed Sims 2. My old computer couldn’t open the epic games launcher, so I missed the first six or eight months of games.

AngryCommieKender,

The entire BioShock collection, Rogue Legacy, Pathfinder Kingmaker, XCOM 2, Yooka-Laylee and Y-L and the Impossible Lair, Several Warhammer games, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, Star Wars Squadrons, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead, Fallout 1, 2, 3, NV, and Tactics, Guacamelee and Guacamelee 2, Homeworld 1&2 Remastered, KSP, and of course LAWN MOWING SIMULATOR!!!

Edit: I almost forgot PC Building Simulator with the IT Expansion!

Zekas,

I’d rather pay to not use that godawful platform. Yes I know that’s stupid in certain ways but my hate for Tim Swiney is simply that strong

RogueBanana,

There are ways to skip their launcher entirely amd use alternatives. Legendary and heroic launcher for example on Linux, there are probably some on windows as well.

FrostKing,

These both work on Windows, to my knowledge

Kecessa,

The vast majority of freebies are DRM free…

Zekas,

I’m not referring to DRM.

Kecessa,

Launchers are a form of DRM, get DRM free games and you won’t need a launcher.

Zekas,

I’m still not referring to DRM. I’m saying Epic is a shitty platform that I hate enough to pay money to avoid. Get some reading comprehension. Further, you’re not even entirely correct.

Kecessa,

Man, if you hate him so much you should take the freebies that they pay money for and not buy anything from the platform.

Same. I even played some of them. Still never gave them a red cent because their launcher is an offense to all mankind.

Kecessa,

Their launcher is perfectly acceptable and even requires less inputs to launch games than Steam as the games you’ve installed are listed in the menu on the left that’s always visible. Steam has become a mess that’s full of bloat and useless features that only exist to profit from whales and gambling addicts.

There are games where everything about them sucks but I still love them.

Body Harvest for the N64 is a classic in my head.

Battlefield 1942 - Desert Combat mod.

I still play it with just bots to kill time. Its just so good. The apache flight model is a thing of pure beauty.

I should probably add this game to my list

I’ve been looking for fun wrestling video games and discovered Wrestling Empire, that ugly ass, janky game is fun as hell, even if it looks like a turd.

Sometimes a good game is just a good game regardless of age.

And graphics in particular are often overrated, as design is often more important than resolution. 4k isn’t going to help a game that’s bland and uninspired.

I always use dark souls as an example; you zoom into the textures and it looks awful, but you look at it as a whole and it looks incredible.

Also glorious. And with NEW mods still coming out.

You guys don’t use shortcuts?

Here is the solution: apps.gnome.org/Cartridges/

But in the shadows of Playnite, one more launcher was made.

One launcher to bind them.
