me and my flatmates played the crap out of TH1&2 while I was at uni, so I want to get this but some people + reviews have mentioned input lag being an issue. Do you just get used to it?

Far Harbor is so refreshing after dicking around in the Commonblecch for 40 000 hours. I hope I get to nuke the whole island lmao.

e: It's also where I stopped my original game so there's new stuff I haven't seen yet, which is nice. I think I only did the whodunit mission last time before quitting for several years for some reason.

what makes epic worse than any other digital game store? the whole spat with Apple is dumb but people have hated epic for a long time and I don't really get why

note that i haven't played computer games on the regular since well before the epic store existed so I'm pretty out of the loop

rather than trying to compete with other services by offering better prices/services/features epic decide to launch a store lacking even basic online store functionality and to buy exclusivity for titles that are already out

i totally understand game devs/publishers taking the deal but epic's just doing the same thing as uber and trying to starve out the competition instead of actually competing.

I haven't noticed lag but there's occasional input jank and the timing for revert > manual has changed and I still haven't quite nailed it yet. the rest seems ok and I can still score in the hundreds of thousands fairly easily. I really hope they do 3 and 4 the same way

there's an achievement for 10 million in 2 minutes and I'm not sure if I'm going to get that

lol. i saw they were 'proudly adding achievements! for a single game, mechwarrior 5' and it was like ooookay?

though i don't miss them. i didn't realize how much they stress me out when I peek at them and then try to play the game to get the most which ruins the fun for me

ditto. steam sat on their money-making machine for years with its poo poo ui rendering, clunky performance, and parts of the ui that still dont load consistently. the recent improvements are appreciated but clearly nobody rolls their desks into the 'load profile and inventory view at least 90% of the time' group

Yeah now I'm beginning to wish for a way to disable achievements for every game ever

Like before I read the achievements I was happily coasting through Half Life Alyx and now I have this compulsion to dig through all the drawers and smash every glass bottle I find

you can disable achievements by not caring about them op

i think the only game i ever platted was bloodborne and even then it was because "pick up every weapon that's lying around the game world" was the farthest I had to go out of my way to do it

same here, I'm playing lifeless planet and saw it had an achievement for no deaths in a play through and I was relieved when I slipped and died the first time. it then glitched and I fell through the mountain after, which would have made me peeved if I was trying still

i normally try to. some games are pushy about them. the last game i actively cared to do them for was no mans sky and that was because they were mostly built into gameplay. no obtuse collection challenges and grueling repetition
