I need japanese, any news on if that will happen?

I assume it’s not “ready” yet for whatever reason

I’m sad they shuttered Japan studios

I remembered some more stuff epic doesn’t have. Steam input and launch option customization. I can play Civ 6, a game meant for kbm, on my steam deck with the controller buttons. Epic obscures their exe files to make it hard to know which to add as a non steam game to steam.

It was annoying to go from steam with it’s deep and helpful functionality to epic with what essentially just feels like the iOS appstore. I especially hate being forced to use epic online services on a game I bought ON STEAM. I couldn’t play the sackboy game with a friend on steam deck because something along the way broke and epic services wouldn’t let me. This game is P2P there’s definitely no servers being involved so why the heck can’t they just use steamworks?

Epic being unusable is a bit of an exaggeration but in terms of the platform they offer it is inferior to steam in every single way and they have done almost zero to make up the gap. Instead they pay money to keep games away from steam and force you to use their launcher in the most annoying and inconvenient way. That’s why they get so much hate from people.

No communities, no guides, no VR , no game streaming, annoying download manager, annoying friends tab, no steam deck, no game collections AFAIK. When Fall Guys came out for free I gave the Epic launcher a real chance and it was incredibly limited in it functionality and frustrating to use compared to Steam.

Steam is shaping up to be your all in one library for anything games be it PC, VR or portable. The Switch, Quest, Playstation, Xbox and Epic launcher all offer a piece of that experience but having a unified platform that syncs your saves and doesn’t nickel and dime you for features and accessories is why Steam is more popular.

I haven’t been using Epic enough to really compare with Steam sales but stuff gets really cheap on steam really fast. I would also gladly buy my games for money on Steam just to be able to play them easily on my Steam Deck. Also Epic is only doing the free games because they have unreal and Fortnite money, there’s no telling when the free games will stop.

I would have begrudgingly bought it if there was steam cloud saves just so I could easily swap between my deck and PC but it doesn’t look like that’s listed on the steam page. : /

Damn that’s pretty sad

I want to know more about this do you have an article you recommend?

I looked into the dynamic difficulty a little and its very interesting. RE:2 remake seemed to always have a level of tension/difficulty to it even as I got better and it must be due to the changing enemy placements, etc. that the system does. When I first read your comment I thought “that just sounds annoying” but if it’s similar to RE:2 then that makes sense as a system to keep the game from getting stale.

I think I will give RE:2 a few more playthroughs and then try one more to get through 4 before I grab other ones but I’m thoroughly a fan of all things resident evil now lol

She could have been a great foil in videos and someone who could have maybe taken his place as an entertainer when he wanted to quit. But maybe he was just talking about that to get people emotional and sympathetic…

Thank you for the recommendation! I wouldn’t know as I haven’t played RE:7 fully yet but I mean to say enjoyed the puzzle-action-puzzle-action type pacing of of RE:2 and I thought 7 might be more like that. 2 also had a spectacular ending so I don’t mind the stakes ramping up. The problem I had with RE:4 was I didn’t particularly enjoy the longer action bursts where I get mobbed by zombies but maybe I wasn’t patient enough to get to the power trip part of the game.

How so? Is this because it prevent workers from leaving/brain drain?

Yeah isn’t weapons grade plutonium a byproduct of recycling nuclear fuel?
