Tickrate comparisons between games is pretty apples and oranges though. Riot advertised “128-tick” super heavily because it’s a pain point to the kind of people that haven’t done the research into why 64 tick has remained the default for the life of the game.

I implied that people like CSGO for the fact that it is so pared down, so much so that the only thing to really differentiate you, is skill. Whereas in Valorant there’s a lot more RNG and tactics, as well as a lot more fluff. Some think all that does is get in the way of the game. When we have so many games with…

There are a few things that had me immediately hating on this game. First, Riot. Second, that it feels more like it’s cashing in on CSGO and Overwatch than a distinct, separate evolution of them to be judged on its own merits. Third, is the gunplay. It just looks like CSGO Overwatch (the in-game “suspected cheater”…

Honestly, I don’t really like Valorant, I prefer the barebones, gun on gun, high risk/high reward gameplay that CSGO has brought to the table for years, all these characters with abilities waters down the skill gap imo and just makes it for a cookie cutter comp experience where every team will end up consisting of the…

It’s Oxenfree for $5 and 733 bonus games!

Epic pays developers and publishers to remove their games from competing platforms. Not only does that force consumers to use a quantifiably inferior platform (EGS), it also results in less competition. Less competition = worse prices. EGS also provides fewer payment methods than Steam, meaning that many people can’t…

It’s probably because Steam is objectively better than EGS. It has a vastly superior feature set, selection and sales (barring the $10 coupons that EGS will stop offering when they decide they actually want to make money).

Nobody’s complaining about a free game. They’re complaining about Epic’s business strategy and the amount of bullshit involved.

Has Valve ever thrown piles of money at developers to keep their game exclusive to Steam? No, they haven’t. It’s not the same situation and you know it.

Sigh. Fuck the Epic Store and their mass exclusivity bullshit.
Get that swiss cheese of a backend away from my favorite series’.

Lost sales aside. I'll buy it from the bargain bin, one Steam sale. I wonder how much epic paid them to give the game away. 

That’s great and all, but absolutely not a full replacement for GeForce Now, which is a cloud-based service available to those without gaming PCs.

Must have stolen a sweetroll to get a sentence like that.

I don’t have a horse in the race, but this will no doubt push Valve to adopt a similar policy for fear of losing players

Even if we don’t end up seeing playable games that look like this, Sony is doing a hell of a better job of showing off what’s possible on their upcoming hardware than Microsoft has done so far.

This blew away the entire demonstration that Microsoft gave last week. It actually felt like this was real gameplay running on the hardware. I don’t even know if this is a real game, but this demonstration was legit the first next-gen demo that impressed me.

The main animation is the same from the one they did 5 years ago so it’s not so much a direct ‘Copy’ but yeah it does seem they are following the footsteps of branding everything under a ‘PS Studios’ brand

Dude put one of his companies’ cars into space atop of one of his companies’ rockets. What have you done lately?

Factoring in all of his successful business ventures, how many one in a billion shots has he hit so far?

I can’t help but think he’s closer to Tracer Tong: a smart, well meaning guy who still does terrible things to make money, and would end up screwing up the world while trying to make it a better place.
