Defaced, do games w Introducing the Epic First Run program

I’m a self proclaimed valve fanboy, I use Linux with proton and wine-ge, and I buy games on the epic store. I try not to have purchasing biases, if the price is good on epic and it’s feature parity with other PC storefronts, I’ll buy it on epic and install with heroic launcher. I’ve only ran across a few games that don’t have feature parity with steam, the biggest being that remnant doesn’t have cloud saves on epic. However, these cases are few and far between and most of the time I’m fine buying on epic.

xNIBx, do gaming w Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%

Exclusives are a cancer. At least if you made them, i could somewhat understand. But paying third party developers to not sell their game on certain platforms is stupid.

Play literally any other strategy game.

Don’t keep supporting Firaxis’ shitty development, even if it’s through fake player numbers.

Gaylactus,

That is a matter of opinion ofc… When it comes to mod development, they are by far, the best company I have ever seen. I even had the chance to talk with some of the game developers, when I was modding 2 of their games, and hey were very very willing to engage with the community. One of the games I modded was XCOM2, and they practically gave you EVERYTHING. You could almost compile the whole game on your own, such was the extent of the tools they provided (which was built over UDK 3). And when compared to other companies like Bethesda, they are light-years ahead.

What is in your opinion, specifically that makes them a company with “shitty development”? Care to elaborate? For someone with so much certainty about the topic, surely you most know how the games are developed and how the development tools work. Eager to engage in this discussion, in great detail!

Did they ever open up Civ VI’s code the way they did for IV and V? Prior to VII coming out, they hadn’t left any way for modders to do the kind of deep dive total conversion mods which happened with the older games.

Does Epic still scan yoir Steam account and steal all of your data?

sugar_in_your_tea,

Only if you let it.

Lemminary,

How do you not let it?

sugar_in_your_tea,

Don’t connect your Steam account? Also, make your Steam profile private.

Lemminary,

I see, the second one is not so obvious. Thanks!

Hmm, it appears I already owned it on there. Which means they put it out as a free game at least once before already.

The only games I have on there are free games.

SomethingBurger,

It was given away with Amazon Prime.

Tigeroovy,

Ah okay, that would explain it!

Just because you see no value in it, doesn’t mean it’s garbage.

Yeee it is

No thanks, I'd rather just buy it for $6 on Steam and actually have the product in a good platform with all my other games.

This game looks darkly hilarious. Has anyone played it?

I visited Games Gathering Kyiv before the full-scale war, there, among small indie booths, was the booth where the developers showcased this game. They are young guys from Kyiv, Ukraine. I had a little chat with them. Once guys and a gal. There, I played it, and, obviously, bought it as soon as it became available on Steam, to support fellow Ukrainians. The game is very funny. I had a great time playing it even before its release.

Better than VII!

dhork,

Did 7 get any better with the updates? I bought it on release but it couldn’t hold my attention for more than an hour, and I haven’t been back.

BlameTheAntifa,

It’s still infected with Denuvo malware, so even if the gameplay weren’t a disaster the answer would still be “no.”

jaschen306,

Is it still worth a pirate?

CrabAndBroom,

Not as far as I know. I haven’t played the latest update but I did a full playthrough on the last one and I finished it but it was such a slog. It’s like the opposite of the other Civ games, where you sit down for 5 minutes and lose an hour, with 7 you sit down and go “right, I’ll play for an hour” and then you check the time and it’s only been 10 minutes lol.

This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days. I might actually slot it into my backlog now.

I mean you’ve got nothing to lose here 😄

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@aggregatet.org avatar

Well, there is time to lose. 7ish hours main story and 20+ completionist is a pretty wide range. How many hours did it take for you?

Venus_Ziegenfalle,
@Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org avatar

About 20 but I haven’t even finished it 100%. It emphasizes exploration so I mostly just traveled and went with whatever I stumbled upon. I don’t usually like to explore video game worlds as they often just feel empty but Sable has a particular atmosphere to it that I enjoyed. If you just want to see the story you can probably do even less than 7 hours.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@aggregatet.org avatar

Thank you, I’ll keep it in mind! I might slot it in as a palate cleanser between longer games.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just over 10 hours on my desktop PC right now, playing Epic’s version through Heroic (enabling EOC overlay so that achievements are shown!)

And I’m nowhere near completing, but only because I love gliding and exploring and collecting. Its the perfect stress-free game to play :)

erin,

It's my wife's favorite game. If you do play it, after leaving the starting area, enjoy the song. Don't beeline to the oak tree camp thing, it'll cut the music off unceremoniously.

This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days.

I’d like to imagine I’m responsible for the first! Do try it, it’s really good. It doesn’t feel like other games, there’s no frenzied movement, nothing really skill-based, or reaction-based, you can just explore a beautifully designed world (the art style is so unique), with a perfect soundtrack (Japanese Breakfast!)…tackle things your own way!

Its a beautiful game, not something I’d typically enjoy but slowing down to enjoy a slower game made me happy.

You were indeed! You’re convincing me, I’ll pencil this in as a palate cleanser at some point this year!

Remember when Epic opened and started a huge astroturfing campaign against Valve for taking 30% commission?

Years later the Epic store is still trash without basic features, and now they are pushing for exclusivity.
