Shooter with controller race ? No thanks ^^ You’re just jealous that you have to go through the epic store and I don’t I don't get why people have a problem with the Epic Store Although I don't get why people buy consoles or Apple crap Maybe I just don't get "people"

I don't get why people have a problem with the Epic Store I don't like when some Chinese spyware tries to read my files on the disk. And it does not work when it is denied the access. Indeed, I simply cannot do that for legal reasons. But if you have a separate gaming PC with nothing of value on it, there should be no problems. For extra assurance, you have to make sure that nothing of value is directly connected to that PC over your network as well.

Ubisoft's CEO and Co-Founder Yves Guillemot, had this to say about Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and its disappointing launch (of which Angry Joe had lots to say).
"At this stage, we have identified three main reasons behind this underperformance: • First, it is harder to generate interest for a sequel to a Live multiplayer game, when prior iterations benefited from years of optimization. Consequently, we need to make sure there is more time between each iteration of Live games. • Second, our strategy of introducing gameplay innovations in our games has had a very positive impact on our brands. However, to win over players, these innovations need to be perfectly implemented in order to offer an optimal experience. This has not yet been sufficiently the case with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. While the change of formula has been very well received by some players, with an average daily playtime per player of over three hours, it also has been strongly rejected by a significant portion of the community. • Finally, Ghost Recon Breakpoint did not come in with enough differentiation factors, which prevented the game’s intrinsic qualities from standing out."
I say, Bio mgt better read this if Anthem 2 is launched. Ditto for DA4. Sadly, at this stage, I'm not hopeful.

Meh. Fun factor, just like ACG from youtube comments on. That's all a game needs, and ultimately why DAI was a success. It was a fun, but frustrating, game if only to leave the Hinterlands.
Keep Skyrim out of our games, is what I'd tell BioWare.
Make games that you'd wanna play. I can guarantee you, somebody out here will wanna play them too.
And you can have that god damned ping. Jesus. I'm having PTSD from that fuckin' thing.

My first personal encounter with Tencent was the hour-long removal of a very persistent Chinese "tool bar" from my nephew's PC who just happened to play League of Legends a lot at the time. I'm a bit hesitant to install anything that they may have a hand in. Also, it's nice that Epic Games takes a much smaller share of the revenue than Steam, but who profits? It's not the customer, because their store prices are the same. Does it mean that dev teams are funded more generously and need less crunch? That would be nice... but I suspect in the end it's just the publisher laughing all the way to the bank. Yet they're trying to sell us the idea that a new store is good for us gamers, but no one ever illuminated me what kind of advantage I get out of exclusive deals that force me to use their half baked client. I don't get lower prices, and I don't get a choice of platform. So for now I'm avoiding it.

Ok, to me, Epic Games are the creator (with Digital Extremes) of the great Unreal Engine, you know, the engine oldBioware used to work with, before... the shitty one ^^ Are Tencent the same chinese company that killed Firefall ? Cause that was a great game, so F them in that case I hope soon we'll be able to run games from a Docker or something, there are many good games on Linux (even AAA quality) but I'm too lazy to switch between 2 OS at home

The mandatory spyware is just the icing.

OK, Outerlands looked nice but I'll wait for a later release (GOG if possible), CP77 is coming soon enough, and in the meantime I can play Greedfall (unless I reinstall DeusEx MD to boost my cyberpunk vibe)

5 years of hard work with graphic-fluid antithesis of Bioware games and absolute managerial masterpiece supposed to reach transcendence with Bioware magic via unplanned acts to finally create Bob Dylan of gaming.
Actually, 3 years of managerial loitering, followed by 2 years of developers getting overworked and pushed around by different managers in different directions. The first 3 years was definitely not 'hard work'. That's what actually was the problem in the first place. I'm not sure that's fair. Three years of building, tearing down, rebuilding prototype after prototype while desperately seeking Dylan doesn't exactly sound like a walk in the park to me. I can imagine what David Gaider went through - laying out world-building concepts, designing the world's history, building in conflicts to be explored in storylines, sketching some story concepts, trying to create a coherent world suitable for telling a variety of ongoing stories over a decade, etc., only to have it all tossed aside. For a team to be tasked with creating a game that would 1) Be a co-op MP live service game that could 2) Continually grow and be enhanced over a 10-year period and would 3) Be the "Dylan" of modern games sounds like mission impossible to me.

Story, huh?
I'm just guessing here, but his story just sounds like an elevator pitch that sounds like shit flung at a wall. "Hey, that stuck... Let's put that in."
I don't mean to be cruel, but ME3MP is more of Dylan than Anthem ever was. It probably has more players right now than Anthem.

The thing is: The main story is only a very small part of the possible universe they created. And until you've done the cataclysm story, you don't even know about this and it's just a story about some power-hungry dude that you have to kill. And now that they have their 'event' structure, which is just a halloween cataclysm (and highly likely, a christmas cataclysm), sotry will have to wait for a loooooooong time.

And, yeah, if I think about it: you're right. It doesn't feel concluded. It was more like: "Okay so I (or a busaccident) killed the monitor... but Why?"

How is that more complete than the ME:A kett situation?

How is that more complete than the ME:A kett situation? Simple, Virmire. You speak with a Reaper, it presents itselft, its species and tells you why The Kett ? They're the bad guys, don't know anything about how they work The Remnant ? Same thing, nothing compared to the Geth history The Jardaan ? Big question mark In MEA you only have pseudo cliffhangers, for pure teasing I guess (or, considering newBioware, they had no idea what they were writing) Sorry, completely forgot about the Scourge, do we get any clue in the game ? It just exists

Yah, and then we would have gotten yet another space opera with no ending. I mean, fuck. Look at Star Wars. This year, 2019, 42 years after its initial release, are we finally getting an ending to the fucking thing. And probably why BioWare decided to go full on with the character development of ME2 and go light on the story.

Don't get your hopes up though, episode X - XII are already planned. Benioff and Weiss are no longer working on the next Star Wars trilogy. They gave up on it, for Netflix. Let me repeat that: Benioff and Weiss ditched a Star Wars trilogy, not a movie, a trilogy, for a Netflix deal. That is current state of Star Wars.
