Really stupid that a company can be forced to do business with someone they don't want to do business with. Epic is a stain on gaming and anything else they tried to claw their way into, and would rather be slimy anti competitive trogladites led by their manchild Tim Sweeney trying to steal peices of the pie in a market rather than actually provide honest to goodness products and services that people want to use.

EGS is 6 years in and is still a complete failure on any competition metrics, and yet they want to employ the same anti competititve practices on iOS? Good luck I say, computer literate people don't even use EGS, imagine how many people will forego sideloading on iOS while they have to pay to maintain their new app store.

Didn't they already offer a "Epic Games Store" on Android since that's open and allows sideloading already? And Android is an OS more prone to sideloading and that store still failed miserably.

Yeah, I added a few western names too (I'm a bit biased to Japanese devs, growing up on JRPGs and whatnot).

But there's tons of people over here that get name recognition too, for sure.

anti competitive practices should be stamped out

This is why Epic shouldn't give a win. They're just trying to get competition out of the way so they can do all their own anti competitive practices.

I'm all for people buying what they enjoy playing, so if someone genuinely enjoys CoD I'm excited for them that they get some new stuff to play.

What I don't get is the constant group of people buying it every year and complaining. Like, guys, if you don't like the product you're buying, stop buying the next product from the same place until they fix what you hate about it.

There's literally tens of thousands of video games out there. You'll be fine if you don't play one of the most creatively bankrupt franchises in the industry, I promise.

The only way I will ever begin to even attempt to trust Konami again is if they license the SH IP out to Kojima so he can Del Toro and the gang can finish Silent Hills.

Sometimes it’s not that easy, mainly if you can’t just afford every game that catches your eye.

I'm not sure how a review score will change that. The entire point of my discussion is that anyone who extrapolates a subjective review score as some objective quality measure is just wasting money.

It's better to play a game that interests you than play a game because it's scored high. "Scoring high" isn't a metric of what makes a game fun.

It's definitely not going to be a game for everyone, but I'm one of those weird people who still sees games as art, so I really appreciate games that just do different things and provide experiences you can't really get in other games. Even if they don't 100% stick the landing, I can enjoy and appreciate them for adding some variety and trying something different.

Jusant is on Gamepass by the way, which could be a very good way to give it a try

Sorry, but after the last 10+ years of Konami, there's no reason to trust anything they tease. Especially trying to make a MGS game without Kojima.

WHenever I bouoght a game I suppose

I played the demo the other day. It really like it. Really nails the kind of PS1/DC survival horror vibe. I was getting a lot of Blue Stinger vibes from it

Yeah how dare consumers expect feature parity with games on a device that Microsoft said require feature parity so the same product gets the same features regardless of which one you buy.

That's...bad for some reason.

800p, not 720p, but yes
