Huh immortal redneck looks interesting.
A few peeps on my activty feed had been posting me1 screenshots abd they look nice.
haha yeah, i'm sorry
honestly the giantbomb playthrough made me feel kinda bad about mass effect 1 overall, i don't think that game aged super well. some super memorable scenes like the conversation with sovereign or the salarian commando giving his speech or the whole deal with liara's mom all felt pretty damn goofy haha
the music is timeless tho
Not sure if anyone already posted but Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends is leaving Steam starting on the beginning of 2019.

Is there no tech support OT? (I can't find one via search, at least.) I'd swear there was one, but maybe I'm just thinking of the sunken place's.
Like, when you're playing it's a lot easier to ignore how awful all of the side content is, how stilted conversations are, and how janky the comat is. But just watching it makes you realise how poorly everything comes together overall, something I distinctly remember being better in 1 than the sequels. Given that it was my favourite of the three, I'm almost afraid to see the other two now...
I've been watching GB's Mass Effect videos too, and that's where I ended up as well. It did not age nearly as well as I remembered.

i think me2 aged fairly ok, despite the story being not the greates
me3 was bad on its time so yeah, not expecting much
i do think the universe, themes and design still feel great and i really want a new good mass effect some day
So its 50% off now for the bundle
Is that...gonna get cut even down on the Winter sale or is it just the base game only?
Saw your post to the announcement lol
Btw its 50% for the bundle, is that gonna go up more during the winter sale or max at 50%?
I assume itll bw 50% until jan 1st. It isnt a discount per say more of a price drop.
Was listening to the last Steam Spy guy podcast.
More games that were announced at TGA will get Epic Store logo in the future (exclusives?).
Man what a letdown.

Can't watch right now. Did they mention specific games? Luckily I don't care for any of the exclusives right now so I hope they won't moneyhat some of my Most Wanted indies for 2019 namely Ori 2, Sable, My Friend Pedro and The Last Night.
No specific game titles, but apparently big publishers coming late 2019.
Unless something changed, Ori 2 is already slated to be Windows Store exclusive.
I don't mind the idea of more competition, but I like having all my games in one place so the fact that there may be Epic Game Store exclusives is a pain.
The good news is is that I already have it downloaded for Fortnite lol so its not like its more bloat.
I do wish the store was DRM free though. We don't have enough DRM free shops

Quality post
I expect more indie exclusives in the Epic Store. The exclusives they already have are not enough to pull people to the store.
The fact sheet Microsoft distributed at last year's E3 says it's a "Windows 10 launch exclusive", for what it's worth.
This can't be surprising. Ori 2's a Microsoft published title and all MS published titles that get a PC release alongside the consoles are usually W10 exclusive.
Though granted, there is a pretty decent chance that it'll show up on Steam in a few years.
I expected more games on launch and a functioning UI (instead of the one page stuff we have). Really surprised they didnt target some smaller and medium indie developers when they are the ones that would gladly do that.
It has to be done. We can't let these 'arguments' go unchallenged.
If big publishers start accepting Epic's moneyhats as well, it could mean the end of healthy competition on PC. :(
Not looking good for PC gamers. But look at the bright side that at least it is not the situation where you have to buy different devices to get exclusives.. still the same hardware but different launchers.
On the other hand regarding the digital PC gaming. Would be scary Steam/Valve would pack their bags (let's say after decade or two) and some other platform would rise and due to that all our games libraries are lost.

Absolutely fine as long as no moneyhatting is involved.
Valve stated that they have system in place that in case they go down you will be able to download and play your games. JaseC can correct me if I am wrong.
Every time i launch Dark Messiah of Might and Magic it installs French keyboard on my win10 (which cannot be easily deleted), wth. And you cannot change game language without changing Steam interface language, bring it to Epic Store, for fuck sake! (/s..maybe)
Most if not all "big publishers" have their own launcher and store and this point so I don't expect those deals to be exclusive.
I could see Epic swooping AA games like Control, Twin Mirror or Biomutant.
THQ already stated that they are not interested in exclusivity deals and want to bring their games on as many platforms and stores as possible.
I still wouldn't support them as long as they keep moneyhatting 3rd party devs to prevent their games launching on competing storefronts.
I'm always amazed at how brazen (or dumb?) such people are.
With similar regional pricing, refund policy, and big sales culture? Great, I might use it as much as I use Steam. Moneyhatting third party devs is still iffy, but it's partly redeemed if at launch they're able to match almost all of Steam's features.
Their gambit will be money hatting; They will bet on the gamble that they can get the games that people want and that potential customers will be fine with foregoing all the features and services that Steam provides. They had 3 years to do more with the store and they did fuck all, they are not gonna start now until people raise a stink or the competition, aka Valve, forces their hand in providing the same experience.
Eh...I understand why people are rightly angry at this but I don't have anything against using the store myself. It's not that I don't care about the shit that Epic is pulling here but it is that I fully expect them to manage to money hat a game that I actually want to play so I'm preparing myself for that day.
If the norm is "Epic store first, Steam later" I'll probably just wait, if not then I'll get it from Epic. Having said that it still will be my absolute last resort if I have no choice left.
