Totally unrelated to this but NISA is also having their "From Console To PC" panel at PAX today as well at 12:30pm PST with a "secret stream" right after at 1:35pm PST.
Secret stream starts like 5 minutes before the AMA which im totally believing is intentional

As an old "fart" that has been playing games on both PCs and consoles since the early 80's, I frequently feel most modern-day practices by the gaming industry, developers and publishers are done just to aggravate me. 
I just want to sit down, play a (single-player) game, and not having to worry about missing out on certain content or features.
But no. There's time-limited content, micro-transactions, multiple editions (which exclusive content for each), platform-exclusive content (which for me, annoys me far more than exclusive games), multiple season passes (naturally, with exclusive content for each; hello, Koei Tecmo!), and many more crap.
Still, I'm always being surprised with what they come up with, in order to annoy me.
Case in point, NEXT Studios, and their game Unheard.
When they launched the game, they told users that the game was short in length, but that they were supporting the game with several DLCs (the first ones free), to extend the available content.
Well, they are now up to the 3rd DLC. 2 of them free, one paid. That's good right? Well, outside of the first DLC, both the second and third DLCs are in Chinese only, with no plans to localize them to English. Chinese non-speakers are apparently second-rate customers, and don't get to play much of the content.
So yeah, one more thing to "worry" about: language-exclusive content!

So I think I'm done with Yooka-Laylee. Fun game. Got 41 bees and enjoyed most of it. I got to ~50% of the Impossible Lair, and that's going to be where I leave it. It's not the game I've been playing for 10 hrs, so I'm just going to pretend it's post-game content.
What about banning Anime?
I hate Tim Sweeney cause he's a condescending asshole. If he actually talked to people without all the patronizing, I might actually consider downloading his launcher.
What's the difference between the early and late game that made you quit? Asking since it's on my shopping list for this year, hopefully, and would rather pay for something I'll enjoy from start to finish and not feel inclined to drop midway through.

I really like Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
It was a lo of fun. But I certainly can see why the last level is not for everyone, the lack of checkpoints in such a long level is a strange decision.
Now in other news, Sony games on PC means God of War, Spiderman, Uncharted, Tha Last of Us, The Last Guardian, Days Gone, Concrete Genie, Ghosts of Tsushima... not a single game I even remotely care about.
Especially now that Ratchet may as well be dead, like Crash, Spyro And Jak.
Maybe we'll get Gravity Rush? The first game is kinda neat... but even then, it suffers from a bad case of Warnerbisoftite like all Sony games.

Regarding that "secret stream" that is probably related to Durante's project(s), where can I watch it, and in how many hours is it?
thanks
thanks
Leave Cowboy Bebop alone or I won't join your No Anime Advocate Group.
Anyway, I'm still going through RE7 and man, this game is legit scary and disturbing.
Once I finish this and Ao No Kiseki I'm going to give Mutant Year Zero a shot. I hope I can fit some more games into the time that's left until RE3 and FF7 are released.

Yeah, I think it’s perfectly fine to boycott Epic if you disagree with their policies. To me it’s just a business doing what they think will be most profitable and I don’t find it worth being upset over.

I may print this out and tape it to my PC case. Good advice to remember every day, really.

I think I need to cut down the amount of gaas games I have installed. I currently have ESO, Destiny 2, Let It Die, MHW, Warframe and SFV on Steam and Apex Legends on Origin.
I uninstalled Fortnite from EGS as I didn't play it a while back, but might get back to it as I still find it to be fun.

Complaining about what epic is doing is pretty much the opposite to the horizon situation. When we complain about epic we complain that not everyone can play the game they want where they want. So when a company has that as goal then yeah it's pretty reasonably to dislike them.
