Because it's in Early Access there too?
It'll be a year in December, they clearly were contractually obligated to keep it there a year.
Yeah, I thought it was supposed to come to Steam when it left EA?
They already announced right at the start that it would be in early access longer than the EGS exclusivity period.
maybe running of funds? i still think that games on Epic probably suffer after launch due to lack of visibility - theres no activity feed, no gifting, no cross promotional advertising when looking at the store pages, and Youtube (the outsourced discovery mechanism that Sergey kept propping up) is really unreliable for ensuring the game is still in the spotlight.
Finally the long drought is over and all the GOTY are coming to Steam too!
/s
That one is in the Brigmore Witches DLC and yeah I liked that area and the overall mission if only because you can peacefully resolve the initial conflict :3
These damned witches suddenly showing up didn't help getting ghost T_T
So I signed up for game pass and updated to the lastest verison of windows and I'm currently getting an error screen after clicking on Metro Exodus as I want to install it. Has anyone else encourted this same issue ?
Recore works just fine I had no problem adding that to my download queue

I had the same questions. Glad you asked.
Is it common for EA games to go into EA and not be on sale? I swear all the EA games i've seen were purchasable and playable when they entered EA.
I only bought the base game but I enjoyed my time with it. I felt Eidos Montreal did a pretty job with making it feel more like a Tomb Raider as the puzzles are more complex than the ones in the previous two games. You can also adjust how difficult you want the combat, puzzles and traversal elements are. I personally set combat to easy and puzzles and traversal to hard.
The story and characters aren't all that great but they are serviceable enough.
what do you mean not be on sale? is this a "EGS doesnt exist" joke or something?
I was thinking of picking up a 2070 Super, but my local Microcenter had the Gigabyte Windforce OC 2080 for $560 new so I got that. It must have been some weird clearance - the non OC 2080 was like $110 more.
Sorry just had to brag about my find :).

We should honestly chip in some money for Jawmuncher to at least go to the VGA with the doritos pope
Lol, I don't think I need all that. I might go to Japan this year now that you mention it though.
COLLUSION!
Nah I'm kidding go to Japan for TGS tbqh treat yourself
I want to hear you holler hot nonsense when RE3 is revealed
It does, but I don't think I've ever played a game that felt so repetitive in such a short timespan. It took less then 4h for me to beat it, but environments and the battle encounters lacked variety.
I own it on every platform but Xbox since they never wanted to port it.
Such a shame.
The only game I am actually interested of the EGS exclusives (as of now) is Satisfactory, but I am honestly surprised at how little FOMO I feel about EGS games. I just have too many games (and a lot of interesting games are launching every month) that i am quickly becoming insensitive to the launch hype.
I already only felt it for a small number of games (such as 4x or Pokemon) but now, wit more disposable income, it is more "impulse buy" to play them rather than FOMO when I buy on hype (as in I wouldnt be sad if i didnt buy it).

I have no interest to get any new game that will be out by the end of the year. That is why I delayed GPU purchase and focused on improving my home energy efficiency XD I have huge backlog and I play those games. They run great on my hardware and I am saving money for better things. That is why i don't care too much for Epic Store Exclusive games.
Because i've been playing so much on consoles lately, the EGS scenario thankfully hasn't impacted me very much. Mainly since they haven't touched Japanese titles thankfully. Shenmue 3 is the only real exception and i've yet to play 1 and 2. My knowledge of the series is this one video
This would be the first time an EGS deal has prevented someone from getting banned, rather than the reverse.
I mean like Bastion, it was serviceable when it was released (2011?) but doing same shit again in 2020 only with added rogue elements is kinda lame. But game still have very cool art-design, don't know if this will be enough lol
It doesn't play much like Bastion either.....
I mean, the word of mouth about the game is pretty much universally positive. People aren't playing an early access game for the art design.
Maybe, i just watched steam trailer and that's all.
Same about Transistor, which i don't like at all.
They tried something more different with Pyre and no one bought the bloody thing, so I don't necessarily blame them for going back to isometric hack n slash. I didn't gel with Transistor's turn-based-esque gameplay but I respect what it was going for.
I got Pyre gifted to me and I just couldn't get into it. It's a decent MP game, but the SP story just really feels out of place for what the gameplay is.
I think I would've preferred a legitimate VN.
I respect their attempts at making a competitive gameplay loop that didn't boil down to "kill all the bad guys", even if I wasn't very good at it. The whole structure of the second half of the game and the fact that losing never meant a game over (it's just a sport after all) felt really refreshing, and it was frustrating when early impressions were coming out and way too many people were already stuck in the "Ugh, sportsball" mentality.
Fair play to anyone who gave it a shot and didn't enjoy it though, I understand where a lot of the complaints come from. I've just always viewed Supergiant as being able to deliver the full package, satisfying and unique gameplay with top-tier presentation, and I really hope Hades ends up more of a success for them than Pyre.
Against my better judgement, I'm currently downloading Metro Exodus off PC Game Pass. I have heard many difficulties people have had in getting it to run well (or at all) but between my strategy game burn-out and Slay the Spire driving me up the wall, I've got nothing much to play between now and The Surge 2.
I own Transistor. I found it absolutely hateful, I didn't think they could make a worse narrator than Bastion, they did. I stopped after a couple of levels and never went back. I also find the DA of Hades laughable, though only based on the first screen they showed initially.
