I’m talking user experience. egs used to be the slowest app I’ve ever used but right now egs starts and works faster for me than gog. also its video player works faster than steam’s, by like a mile. I don’t know if it’s just me because I never hear anyone complain about steam’s video player but for me it’s so goddamn terrible in so many ways I want to punch a wall every time I’m curious about a game while browsing steam because the video just takes fucking ages to get going and the controls are horrendous. I end up just searching on YouTube.
gog doesn’t have regional pricing and their launcher at this point is worse than epic’s. as an old fuck I like having old games back but it’s not convenient at all.
funny you never hear about games being ONLY on steam. it has nice features but riding so hard for a gigantic monopoly is going to bite our asses real bad when gaben retires. nothing lasts forever, and we don’t know who or what will replace the current structure at valve.
not to mention valve has had its share of anti consumer and predatory practices. most of the concessions have been in response to legal threats.
yeah… for me I was willing to give black flag a chance to see if they would find a way to make a new series, maybe with a new current day plot, but nah. people seem to dislike the current day portion of those games but to me that was the main interest, along with the mythology…
black flag’s current day portion was so goddamn awful, they turned abstergo into a parody of ubisoft? I don’t even know what they were thinking… but it was so immersion breaking. completely killed my interest.
pirate stuff was fun, and it still had a nice plot twist near the beginning… but it was clear that the overall story was going nowhere so I just quit playing after that and decided that the series ended with 3.
yeah that’s not extreme; it just doesn’t follow. you still have to have an analog. you can’t just say whatever to make an argument in the extreme. that’s just strawmanning.
no? how do you even think there’s a parallel there? gamer isn’t a race. there’s nothing essential about gaming. the parallel would be making generalizations about football fans. not a race.
sorry i didnt realize you were rummaging through my comment history to find something to attack because you cant come up with a good argument in the relevant conversation so i thought you meant i was talking about this scam.
I don’t know what depths of your ass you pulled that the team of the latest prince of persia is my “favorite game studio”. I think you should be jailed for playing with people’s livelihoods despite their success merely for more profit, yes.
a time span to my liking? how about any time span? tell me when it’s coming out mate. where’s the plan? you don’t know why I’m calling it a scam, you don’t know what I criticized about it… why is it so hard for you to follow a conversation?
hate? what’s with you guys weirdly anthropomorphizing a game that’s only maybe halfway done in a decade? you got too invested, too attached maybe, that someone calling it a scam seems “hateful” however that works? rage? lol wtf have you seen anyone rage before, mate? calling something a scam is not personal, it’s not even an attack. and it’s definitely something I live on. I have called people to be jailed for swindling.
how much money has this game extracted from dummies over the past decade? how much money’s worth is “playable”? I was gonna say “out” since that was the original claim but obviously the answer is zero. the games not out. but I’ll settle for playable since apparently you guys have already given up hope on an actual release and have settled on playing half baked demos bit by bit.
pointing out that you’re being scammed is not hate. it’s a wake up call. I understand though, an alarm clock seems hateful to me too when I’m enjoying my dream too much.
i don’t care about people alpha testing unfinished games. I’ve been talking about release. they said “it’s out”. where is it. what’s the plan. when was it finished. why is it not out. stop trying to feed me bullshit, you’re confusing me with someone who lives on hype alone. if I were I’d be playing the star citizen half-game myself.
