60/70s. Its a frogwares game so im not expecting much.

Around 67, reviews are never nice with this sort of games. Like with the vast majority of similar titles, most people will never know it even exists and among those who do know, most will hate it and a particular niche will really like it.
Usual Frogwares fare, low 70s to mid 60s range. The game has absolutely bizarre system requirements (4gb gpu min) and it's most likely points out to shitty optimization, so, they're lucky customers have no way to express their dissatisfaction in any meaningful way on EGS.
Expecting that if people are being kind and there isn't some kind of extra egs narrative in there
depends how it compares to their previous games ... and to the other Cthulhu one that was released last year
but if i had to guess i'd say this one will be better than Call of Cthulhu ... which had kinda bad reviews
Yeah I’m kinda hopeful. The combat in the last gameplay video looked much better than the earlier previews
yeah, pretty much ... i was seriously excited for that game (as i REALLY like their Sherlock games) ... and then they went exclusive, lol
i'm still going to buy it when it comes to steam ... but i'm going to hate myself for doing it, lol
i think it's been there since like 2 days after MS conf
but yeah, they're probably waiting for the sale to end (or has it ended already? i wouldn't know - i don't ever go there, lol)
It went up on EGS alongside GOG and Steam but didnt go up for preorder until the sale was over.

I think the bolden part is why Epic doesn't bother with cross-promotions between Fortnite and the EGS.
no wonder they still don't want to say how many people are playing it on PC ... it's probably not that many (comparatively)
I'm typically wrong, but I've always felt mobile would be the biggest share.
All those fortnight players dont have Steam installed.. Turns out they don't have EGS installed either. Woopsy

Fortnite on mobile is complete garbage and requires a fairly powerful phone to run acceptably. It's no surprise it's not going so hot.
Contrast that with PUBG mobile which can be played at full speed on basically every 100$ phone these days, even in some phones in the 70-80$ price point.
My guess is that they don't want to have items that only PC players can get since console players probably wouldn't get the same cross promotion opportunity.
Too bad for Epic, I'm sure the cross promotion that Valve did with Team Fortress 2 over the years helped sell a few extra copies of games.
I hate to say it but part of the reason I bought Brink was because it came with a cool Sniper hat. I never got around to playing Brink and it died really quickly so I basically paid $50 for that hat.i'd say WAY more than just a few
To be fair it is a pretty cool hat:
You should sell it for 50 :vI hate to say it but part of the reason I bought Brink was because it came with a cool Sniper hat. I never got around to playing Brink and it died really quickly so I basically paid $50 for that hat.

The bold part is interesting. The slow declining in revenue over months could be an explanation to why Epic agressivly trying to get their piece of Steam's storefront cake.
It's clear they were looking for the fastest way to break into the digital distribution market. I think Epic probably thinks that Fortnite's success won't last forever so they're looking for a more stable business revenue wise and it doesn't get more stable than PC digital distribution. They're in a hurry becahse if the Fortnite gravy train gets derailed they're screwed.
Nah, they still have a steady revenue stream in engine licencing fees to fall back on.
the sooner the better ... FUCK that game for what it enabled them to do within the PC digital distribution market
It looks like they did actually manage their 1 June goal (search by genre and tag). So you can now search "action" or "RPG" and get games associated with that.
Though it looks like it's nowhere shown which genres/tags a game has or even exist, lol. Typical.
Their goals for July look pretty ambitious so I expect nearly everything to be delayed again.

You mean bringing Microsoft games back to Steam, killing off UWP in the process?
Bless Tim.
Im not gonna bash fortnite. I like UE4 and the improvements they made to the engine because of Fortnite helped a lot of games I love like Deep Rock Galactic and Tower Unite.
Like how the engine didnt properly support multiplayer games with more than 16 players before Fortnite, so they had to rework a large part of the engine to fix it, Which as an effect made games I love like Tower Unite which have 64 player lobbies a lot more stable. It was a fucking NIGHTMARE before this overhaul.
Sure, but Unreal Engine isn't as ubiquitous as last gen, plus Epic has a lot of competition in that field from Unity. The time of every big game being Unreal Engine is long past.
Unity is trying to move into the high end AAA market more, but Unreal still have that pretty much on lock.
I mean, they might not be a MegaCorp forever if FortNite money dries up, but they'll always have the Unreal engine to fall back on as long as the graphical arms race continues, and I guarantee you the first "THIS IS WHAT NEXT GEN WILL LOOK LIKE!" puff-pieces are going to be Unreal 5(?) tech demos.
Its like Brad Wardell and StarDock; you can hate them all you want, but as long as Windows UI design is ass, they're always going to have Windowsblinds money to fall back on.
I agree. My focus is exactly on their megacorp status. Unreal Engine will not be enough for Epic to sustain its current moneyhat strategy, so if Fortnite declines we will be free of their bullshit.
meanwhile everything is valves fault by traping poor exclusivity partners

Has Valve's policy changed regarding not allowing keys generation for games not releasing on Steam? I can't double check, so asking honestly.
Also the fuck does "launching on Steam for 30%" even means (x2)?
When will people finally learn that keys are free, and anyway I kinda don't think Valve charges per launch
I don't usually like when megacorps pretend to be nice and funny human beings, but I'd totally love to see Valve's social media manager starting to reply with trolling tweets to this kind of awkward attacks disguised by good sense.
Tim means paying Valve's cut so that the backers get a Steam key (to use Steam Distribution) one year before the game is available on the Steam store.
It is a matter of interpretation of the policy. So far, we have all believed that backers of crowdfunded games could be given a special treatment, that is get a Steam key prior to the Steam release. It seems that this exception is only for beta testing of crowdfunded games.

Oh yeah it makes more sense. Me dumb.
(I mean, I can understand the sentence now, but still doesn't make actual sense, and it's just the nth occurrence of TS stirring shit up out of sheer unprofessionality)
I have no idea who this Lewie Procter person is, but I often find myself in agreement with him.
So I must ask: who am I agreeing with?

Yes I was able to open his Twitter profile by myself
Just, everything he's involved with is totally unknown to me, so I was wondering if he did something in particular to "earn" the blue checkmark

back in the day twitter gave out checkmarks to pretty much anyone who set their display name to their real name and avatar to a real photo
so that's probably why
This week is already looking good for Epic, but things could turn even worse it will be if Epic / Deep Silver don't start refunding Shenmue 3 backers or simply go another week without saying nothing other than Tim tweets.
