“Pretty much everyone who tries the game eats shit like crazy at first,” Marc-Andre Houde told me when I met him in New York to see crea-ture studios’ forthcoming skateboarding game. Maybe that’s a bad way to sell a video game

Thank you for sharing that link. I’m usually pretty well informed about what goes on in gaming, such is what my job calls for, but I’d somehow missed this. I’m asking the staff about it and seeing if we can cover it without simply being super-late to it.
The developers reasoning was fine, and its Epic’s choice to decide what they want to curate on their storefront. None of these things you’ve described is evil. This is just business.
The Epic Game Store is the current cool thing to hate, in a similar way to Battlefront II on release or other similar games. Like those, it’s marred by a huge amount of misinformation and literally everything connected to the current object of the Two Minute Hate has to be attacked and taken in the worst possible…
Evil? How old are you, 12?
This just made these games 1 billion times more interesting. Would have preferred Super Mario World sprites for some consistency tho.
What you’re doing here is the equivalent of yelling at a bunch of people who are playing kickball that they’re playing baseball wrong.
I got plenty of issues with the Epic Games store but man that is not the fucking point here. An indie developer was utterly and viciously harassed over the weekend for no good reason and all you can say is how people don’t get why you hate EGS? Fucking hell, dude. Get some god damned perspective and GROW THE FUCK UP!…
Do you consider the things that this article describes happening to be “legitimate criticism”?
I said everything I needed or wanted to say about the entitlement that informs EGS rage (and no, I’m not an EGS fan—but come the fuck on) in the previous story on Ooblets.
The only thing I feel a need to add at this point is: if a person’s argument in defense of issuing death threats/sexist epithets/mocked-up photos…
Dude.... This article wasn’t even about Epic man. It was about the indie studio and how they have been harassed to no end for simply doing the smart choice of taking an exclusivity deal that’s beneficial for them. It’s easy to talk about integrity and not selling out, but making games is fucking hard man.
Which, if we’re being really honest, is how they do any and every game.
Uh, yeah. Ex-con here. I agree with you on this. This is like when a white-collar thief that steals millions of dollars from vulnerable clients gets time served, and goes right back into the financial industry. They haven’t really done their time, and they’re tossing it in everybody’s faces. F them.
Spider-Many.
I would jump on from time to time and run a 5 man group, or fly around in a less used suit in free roam. Small 30 minute bursts, because the core game is fun and there is alot going for it. It’s like playing a random match in FIFA, or APEX. You’re not looking to progress anything really, just waste alittle time. With…
I’d argue that the better way to stand out is showing people that will review your folder that you can do better than the other 120397102743 artists who all think characters that look like this are the epitome of attractiveness, or demonstrate that you can do better than them by showing you can draw different ways…
Heels? Check. Ass? Check. Incredibly small waist to hip ratio? Check. This is a blast from 2006 kotaku.
