Apparently 1 year EGS exclusive on PC, 30fps locked on console version.

Wait, which is the one with the dildos? Everyone needs improved dildos.

I tought the EGS exclusivity would give more money to the devs so where is it?

Is it "safe" to pick this up yet?

Avorion? Yes
Mount and Blade 2? Yes
Anno 1800? Maybe
X3: TC? Definitely

Oh.. you were asking about X4? Hahahahahaa NO.

Mind you, it's even worse if you played Avorion. You can't go back to this aquarium simulator with space-ships then without feeling restricted and bound and confused and bored.. it's pretty, but it's boring to an absurd degree.

I guess the real question you need to answer is this, can you handle games that OPENLY and INTENTIONALLY were made to WASTE YOUR TIME with sometimes zero reward?

Not to mention bugs... just started with newest patch, took guild mission, saved, reloaded, suddenly I failed 1 of em out of nowhere (one of my ships undocked with NO ORDERS and destroyed a lockbox by looking at it) and the mission sequence (it was 1 of 4 missions) was gone.. completely GONE. No more missions from the guild mission system at all after that. Every reload reproduces this and this is a bug since the release of the game.

Now if Epic starts publishing games from developers from the ground up. Awesome. I won't be buying them but that's good for Epic and doesn't involve pulling shitty moves by advertising on Steam and then not selling there.

That's exactly what this story is about. So why are you complaining?

Sigh. Steam, whether you like them or not, has done a lot for both consumers and devs to make PCgaming both better and more accessible. Some of these things seem trivial or not something you or I use....but they do push sales/units in other demographics, thereby helping devs and publishers. :
- Workshop
- Centralized patching / Optional versioning / Beta programs
- Centralized dev updates
- Centralized forums
- Cloud Saves
- DLC linking
- Shopping cart / Wishlist / Gifting / Social aspects
- Big Picture mode
- Controller support/emulation
- Steam Controller / Steam Link
- SteamVR
- Linux clients
- Hell...even the SteamBox was good for devs as a political move

Blizzard and EA don't offer most of that stuff either. Where's your outrage about all of their games not being on Steam?

They'll then use these completely broken logic conclusions to determine that VR is terrible, since they can't even imagine that the headset and controls are absolutely key to making the game spectacular.

Never finished the previous Doom, so I installed it and am excited to play through that first.

Maybe time to finish Wolfenstein games also.....

Just a few things they have added in 3.0 are new weapons, new ships, new sectors. Also did a complete overhaul of the audio in the game including weapon effects. Also visual effects.

You forgot to mention the last thing they added a bunch of: new bugs.

Just fine. I'm sure Avorion is a great game but modular ship building was never what X was about.

If you look at the changelogs for 3.0 you can see they are huge? This will be a massive update of the base game and (just my opinion) make X4 one of the most solid space games on the market. It did take awhile to get there though.

Would that be a good time to finally pull the trigger on this? I've been watching and waiting for it to finally be ready enough to buy.

I find it funny that this is "news".

Glad so many are content to keep handing 30% over to a company that hasn't had an original game idea since the original Half-Life.

I mean, why would anyone want to use the storefront of the people who actually employ 10,000 game designers? Fuck those guys! I'd rather give billions to Gabe with the 30% tax so that he can reinvest that money properly, in his own private yacht collection. The rich get richer.

When will people see that Steam is a cancer on the gaming industry, not a saviour. You're willingly supporting a platform that diverts money AWAY from game developers. I have a lot of love for the people who sacrifice and have to put up with so much grind, hardship, and competition just to get the chance to work in gaming. I want them to get my money.

Fuck GabeN.

Having a ton of fun with Deep Rock Galactic. A buddy at work recommended it to me, and it did not disappoint. I feel like once I unlock more stuff, it might start to feel less exciting and maybe repetitive, but for now, whee! Totally worth the $15 I paid.
