after loving payday 2 and hating payday 3.
Its like the band went on a bender weekend and turned up to the concert too hammered to perform. Too drunk to not just know how to sing, but not know what even a song is.

If you told me that the team that made payday 3 was a totally new team of recruits and this was their first attempt at a game and have never played games before and didnt know what fun was and were all simultaneously having a mid live crisis' and all spoke different languages and lived in Amish towns their whole lives and were all high on meth and all inbred...... I would believe you.

so its basically the trial anyone can get, but using the tragedy for free pr. Déjà vu anyone. Sounds scammy.

I guess the question is, why did they leave it in place for a whole year?

capital gains tax rule? . possibly a short selling limit loophole (and insider trading loophole). Im assuming the execs are just greedy and not fully incompetent.

reason to keep playing...? There is a story now and many new milestones, tiers, machines, products, alien matter and achievements in v1.0 however not everyone gets joys from creative building type games.

I kind of want to know which games were good investments and which ones were not.

last i heard, there has been only one game that was a epic exclusive for a year that made a profit for Epic.

OMG

Having npcs that react better to the world would be awesome. I like the idea of no longer having a level one bandit with a stick, watch me take down a dragon easily with crazy magic and wearing top level armor, then try to rob me.
Also having npcs that are more aware of the world and your actions would much more immersive. Instead of generic reactions like hero saves the day reactions, have the world know you drove a lamborgini off the top of a building to crash through a gangsta house, parachuted through a window and shot the leader point plank with a bazooka.

Somewhere over at EA: "Bring me my checkbook. We are going to buy them and give them the Bioware treatment. I can see yearly games with plenty of MTA and online only. Larian will make us rich for 5 years or so before we have bled them dry."

ironically, bg3 really feels like bioware at its peak. in particular dragonage origins with a dose of mass effect's cinematic story and character feel.

Obviously the title Call of Duty's island was already taken.

Then after selling, he gets to write off that loss and never pay taxes again.

is it epic store exclusive? that seems to be missing in the notes anywhere.

yeah, nah.
I just put in a 3070 i got for cheap(enough)
It runs everything at max with room to spare so i should be happy with it for years. Big noticeable upgrade from a 1070. (which was still going fine). Unless you have a real reason (?) for doing so, dont buy at release, and dont buy top premium levels.

obviously the profit made was much more than $5.5 million,

awesome bundle!
I have half of these games already and it was worth the minimum easily. and for charity..

Am i seeing this right? this game is number one on steam top selling!

sounds like the dude needs a holiday

When I saw the headline I was confused because I have only just heard of it this week coming to steam in May. i.e., it hasnt been released yet, why complain about sales. Then I learnt it was a playstation exclusive and lost a lot of sympathy. Then I watched a few reviews which were all medium to bad... That means lower initial sales, but you can catch up with good dev support, discounts and good PR, Product Sales 101. Im sure he worked his butt off, and I wish always that hard work meant good rewards. I understand the stress but he is now sabotaging future chances for the product to succeed, and himself. Who would hire/work with a guy who does this.
With the game launching on PC soon, a proven huge marketplace, why would any sane person create some more bad P.R. If he actually believed in the product, stand by it. Promote it like launch day. hell, pay a youtuber or 2 to do a lets play, add some more content for a directors cut etc. do interviews complementing your team and your customers who did buy it on playstation etc, promote what has been fixed since launch day that means it is now better than initial reviews. If it is a good product, on PC he could sell millions of copies, more than the sales on playstation potentially.

going to wait for full release.. but for me same as with bg1 and 2, go dedicated wizard first playthough.

There is a "trick" to extend your pc game pass at the current low price.
Just turn off recurring subscription payment, then rejoin the game pass again, it will be charged at the lower price and extend your time by another month.
Rinse repeat.
I believe you can do this for up to 3 years.

If you have a family of gamers and multiple pcs, set up the ms family system, which will allow you to simultaneously play games from the game pass on other devices at the same time.
I have been playing heaps of multiplayer games with the family (aoe2, grounded, fallout76) all on my first month $1 trial.

Awesome! last one was awesome, Cried during the trump scene.
