if you have the money to buy ES2 - you don't really need the first one
just get ES2 and as many of the expansions as you can afford - they're all universally good
Yup, it's nice. About 3 hours long.
Speaking of Double Fine, if Psychonauts 2 goes Epic exclusive I'm refunding the shit out of my backing. Not only that, but I'll lose respect for Tim Schafer forever. I sincerely hope it doesn't happen.Well, refund submitted for Phoenix Point. I have been working late, so I only ended up applying for my refund today.
They really made sure to place that refund form as hidden as possible.
I loved that the form started with:
«Please give careful consideration before requesting a refund. Once submitted, this cannot be cancelled, and you will no longer be able to claim your 1 year of free DLC with a future purchase, or your Steam/GOG keys after the 1 year Epic exclusivity period»
Yeah, I gave it as careful consideration as they did, when they pulled this move.
If they had a different approach to things, I could have re-considered. But after Julian Gollop had the gall to go on places like Eurogamer minimizing backers indignation, and saying basically that it's a small number of people, who won't have any impact by the time the game launches, he is "dead" to me. I'll be damned if I ever support any of this efforts.
There are a few games I helped crowdfund that I'm seriously expecting to go next: Shenmue 3 (because of publisher Deep Silver, and because it's the kind of game I expect that developers would be attracted by the guarantee revenue), Bloodstained (because they dropped Mac and Linux support recently, and publisher 505 Games is the kind of publisher willing to do anything for a quick buck), and Knights And Bikes (because it's published by Double Fine, a company I expect to be announced as an EGS supporter soon).
Despite being big games, from developers I like or franchises that I love, I'll refund them all if they pull a Phoenix Point. With no hesitation.
As a bit of a joke, on Tuesday, when that announcement for Phoenix Point got out, I went to have dinner with my girlfriend and mentioned what happened, and mentioned I was going to refund my money. Then I mentioned "what's worse is that Shenmue 3 and the new game from the guy that made the Castlevania games that I liked are likely next".
Since she knows I'm crazy for the Shenmue series, she immediately asked me: "how much did you back Shenmue 3 for"? I said $250+.
She then told me: "Do you have to wait for an exclusivity announcement? Can't you ask for a refund right away?".
So, she clearly considers it money well spent.
i backed Shenmue, Bloodstained and Psychonauts ...
I have a shoulder you can cry on. I'm using it myself at the moment, but I can lend it to you once I'm done.
Me too. I mentioned the other two above, but I also backed Psychonauts 2.
Sorry.Would y'all please stop talking about Shenmue 3 going EGS exclusive? It's upsetting me!
Yeah, I'm a reasonable guy. I could live without a Steam key. If they supply me with a digital download (or, if my physical copy is DRM free, since I'm getting more than one copy), and I can play the game on day one without using the Epic store in any way, I would keep my backing.
I'm not talking sales but the amount of die hard fans. Like I'm sure both those games are in more top ten lists than division.Come on man, Shenmue3 and Psychonauts are super niche, nothing big about them compared to AAA mainstream like Division 2
And I'll not touch Division 2 with a 10 foot pole but play the shit out of Shenmue3 (if not exclusive), just saying.
Hopefully you are right.
Linked it in the other thread and ranted on it too
The coverage that places like PCGamer, RPS, Eurogamer, Polygon, PCGamesN and more has been truly appalling.

I really don't like this game, I've been trying it after every major update and it never clicks, plus I hated how they went about its initial launch.
damn ... i wish my wishlist only had 100 games on itTo balance all the bad stuff that has happened, I think I'm going to celebrate gaming by increasing my Wishlist from 50ish to 100!
Haha! My goal with my Wishlist is to only list games I realistically will and can play. Like I try to only have games with a Mac port, unless it's a game I really want to play.damn ... i wish my wishlist only had 100 games on it
1 is probably the most realistic realisticPlaying 50 wishlisted games sounds unrealistic.
A realistic sample would be 10.
.... and I get lost on my wishlist of 168 games.damn ... i wish my wishlist only had 100 games on it
i know it's not a replacement for volvo implementing it natively ... but if you use augmented steam - you can add notes to wishilist items
That article is a fucking joke. It baffles my mind that someone wrote that and considered it OK for publishing.
Forgot about that. I don't really like to use it too much because it never felt right to give an extension so much access to a site that where I have so much "monetary value" invested, but recently I'm really missing this feature since with all the Epic drama I'm trying to either buy or at least keep an eye on several smaller games. Thanks for the reminder.
You monster!It could be handy.
How'd you uninstall it? I can't find its uninstaller on Windows 10 @_@
