Regarding the user reviews, I would much rather prefer stores integrating with existing sites like IGDB rather than have independent review systems.
But that’s fine I guess.

I recently finished playing Deliver Us Mars. I’m happy with it for the most part, but it only reinforced my suspicion that Unreal Engine games are not being optimised well enough 🫠
In case anyone wishes to know what I thought of the game:
The story is fine. It feels like so many problems would be solved with a simple conversation and characters make decisions impulsively. The voice acting is spectacular, and the background music, while not cinematic by any stretch of the imagination, was definitely really good for setting the mood.

Oh. 🫠
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Wow. That’s understandably frustrating.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Oh yeah. No, absolutely not… I logged in…
I installed one game, uninstalled another.
Waiting to get time to play using GoG soon.
Also, do we know if there’s any integration with services like IGDB?

UT = Unreal Tournament, yes?
My dad got me that game on his old laptop when I was a kid. It barely ran, but boy was it exciting ❤️.
The Plasma gun was my favourite 🫡. Especially in that space level… The one where you could jump outside the windows.
I have a bone to pick with Epic regarding Unreal Engine as well. Terrible optimisation. Any game I play, if made using UE, is terrible.
I’ve played the first two of the Tomb Raider trilogy on medium on my 4GB GTX 1650, i7 9th Gen, 16GB RAM laptop. This device has pushed me through my engineering and still continues to run most of my work. It also runs Forza Horizon 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 good enough.
Yet I install Deliver Us Mars, a game with a much smaller scale, and my beautiful beast starts to stutter. 🫠🫠🫠

Yeah, what is up with that? What’s wrong with Epic and Linux?
I remember reading that they bought Rocket League and then removed Linux support. Really dumb strategy.

My first purchase when I’m earning enough to spend on entertainment will be a good device. The second will be games that I can either physically keep or digitally store on physical drives.
Let’s hope that happens next year 💯

Fair points.

Didn’t know about heroic… Gonna check that out.
Also, wow. You’re the dude that appears in comment sections with well-formatted paragraphs 💯.
Appreciate your service.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Definitely a terrible idea.
Using money to jump ahead in the line is a terrible mindset. Provide good features, you’ll get your recognition.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Fair enough I guess… I only use Epic for the free games, so I can’t say I’ve spent much time genuinely looking at the user experience 😅.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Playnite looks interesting.
Does it have support for linking Backloggd accounts or similar such platforms?
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Epic doesn’t have the game time sync, but that’s an Epic issue I believe.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
I guess so… Unless a company is objectively terrible, I guess it does end up being “subjective”.
For example, I like the idea of Linux, but am happy that things work on Windows. And MacOS is too restrictive for my tastes.
Now, surely there are objective reasons for why Linux is better than the others. But the entry point issue for me is that each distro is different, and while I love customisability, I cannot expend energy on setting up my distro at the moment… (Soon.)
Plus, games work on Windows. I do plan to dual boot when I get a better PC, but not yet.
And fuck Apple (subjective, but I don’t wike em). So, yeah 🫡.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Hmm…
I’ll be honest, I definitely prefer having everything on one platform for convenience. This is in second place; right after letting me play a game directly from the icon without having to open the damn launcher in the first place.
Also, I am not well educated about the technicalities of Steam or GoG, so all I can say is I’m enjoying the cool factor of GoG combining my accounts in one place. Kinda bummed that Epic’s integration doesn’t have game time and achievement sync… But that’s probably an Epic thing.
Also also, fuck yeah! If it’s free, I’m in 😂.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Hmm…
I have never used a launcher before (for obvious reasons as mentioned in my post), so I found the idea of a separate launcher dumb in the first place. I have used it in recent times thanks to Epic’s free games. Finished two of the Tomb Raider trilogy.
Like, I’m fine with a store, but I gotta open the launcher to launch the game? On Windows, with the Tile based Start Menu, I kind of thought it was a terrible idea NGL. I gotta open, wait for it to load, open the library, then click to run, THEN it’ll open…
Plus, if I want to track progress, it’s a hassle because I can’t track without the damn launcher…

Edit 2: (replied because I got some error when editing comment a second time…) Okay nevermind. Thought it was too good to be true… why open with an in-app browser?
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 9 months ago:
Fair enough.
I’ll have to take a look at GoG anyway… I don’t remember but I heard it’s like an aggregator of some sort too, right? Like, you can access games from your steam account too or something?

Recently got to playing the Tomb Raider trilogy I got from Epic Games.
Done with the first one, working on the second one atm.
I prefer these games at the lowest setting because, for me, the biggest part of these games that I SHOULD be involved in is the story. Anything that keeps me from that is a bother, to me at least.
The story is fun, the gameplay is exciting and thank GOD they figured out SHIFT to sprint by the second game, amirite guys?!

To be fair… It’s not always at great speeds… But the coverage is great.
India has so many users that it’s spread thin amongst the billion+ people we have here.
