Observation: despite of the EGS summer sale, there is barely any dev or pub advertising their games on sale on EGS, only so far Ive seen on Twitter is the publisher of Mundaun and Stonefly and there is barely any talk about the sale either.

Like, Days Gone is currently on sale on Steam and EGS and the game's Twitter page is only linking to the Steam page and mentioned EGS in the same tweet, but no EGS store page link.


No thread on ERA or r/gamedeals

Basically unless Epic finances coupons noone seems to give a shit, not even devs/pubs themselves. I mean, things can change of course, maybe Epic didn't tell any dev or pub about the summer sale so noone advertises their games on sale there, but yeah.
As an observation, Days Gone is already between 2nd and 3rd global top seller on Steam.

The absolute majority of pc gamers doesn't care about EGS when there are no coupons or long awaited exclusives. Considering the terrible strategy Epic is using to buy themselves into the pc gaming market, this is the best outcome for us as consumers. 😁

Why am I so tempted to grab this




it seems that some people really like WASD on their arcade stick. There's a big modding scene. I wonder how people like mechanical keys for the rest of it.

I think I'd prefer a Hitbox style layout, but I'm not trying to spend too much.
It's something that I've thought about, good to know there is a modding scene to it. Though if I was going to get one of these I could prefer if the directional keys were on the right side like the arrow keys on a keyboard.

It is 2oth Max Payne anniversary and it is sad to think that we will reach 30th one without new entry.
Is that really necessary though? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a new Max Payne game but after the 3rd game his story is finished so it's better to just put that effort into a new IP that somehow evolves the gameplay and storytelling.

WASD is fine - though I'd say it's like having a hitbox with none of its benefits but when it comes to fighting game controllers preference takes priority over anything - but I'd really just go for a "proper" WASD controller with Sanwa buttons for normal inputs.

I agree with this sentiment, preference is king (especially for the directional controls) but for me nothing beats good arcade buttons for the button inputs.

Read up on some of that Blizzard stuff from yesterday and what a shitshow that company is. Everyone at the top needs to be fired and replaced. They need an entire culture change wtf.

The Ubisoft stuff got brushed aside real quick last year I wonder if this will actually be taken seriously. Probably not sadly.

That’s not how Soul Calibur is written 😄

No Nintendo then? I thought Mario was part of the marketing for this one.
How many of those works were done by the same composer? The committee may have chosen two or three composers and then chosen from their works?

Not gonna lie, I think mechanical keyboard keys are an awful idea for something like this. A big part of the appeal of arcade sticks for me over the years has been that Sanwa buttons require very little force or depth to trigger, which allows you to make inputs effortlessly and quickly. I guess for someone very used to playing on keyboard, this is probably nice, but I can't see it being on par with a hitbox.

There is still material for another game. Mona Sax story, more Max Payne stories (maybe prequel), Remakes...

Akamai (a global content delivery network) suffered a temporary outage yesterday that caused a lot of services to be down. It didn't last very long.
