I haven't had any issues with Epic other than their crappy store and weird patching but if you're concerned pay with PayPal and tell it not to save the info or buy it off the HumbleBundle site. You do want to enable two-factor authentication on your Epic account though because a million randos will try to break into it using your email address to steal your fortnite dollars if it is on any of those pwned lists and it can lockout your account.

The reddit post earlier was unclear but I think they meant it was supposed to be called isolation but actually ended up with a different name ingame. Even worse it seems like its part of the deluxe edition so even ps4 players might not have it for maximum potential confusion. https://www.reddit.com/r/controlgame/comments/cvucvs/control_interview_your_questions_were_answered/ 5. Any exlusive content for other platforms? Answer Kasurinen: "Yes there is a side mission that is exclusive for playstation 4. It's a side mission called Isolation. It's an interesting one. We showed it a bit on the Sony screen yesterday. It's about Jesse finds these strange tapes where the japanese scientist who does experiments to like he talks about a immagery dreamlike type of thing and then you get these psychological visions and so on. So it's a side mission that is exclusive for Playstation." Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Aug 30, 2019 |

I think a lot of the enemies need combat barks, a lot of the time when you're being attacked you don't have any warning till its happens. I've been hit by a ton of engineer rockets because the only warning you get is the launch sound and they can fire from very close to you or the cloaking guys who can nearly one shot you even with multiple health upgrades.

If you have a enemy that dodges usually you can force a dodge by shooting them a couple of times and then throwing crap at them after they stop. Tomassi is harder because you don't have as many options at that point in the game.Bust Rodd posted:I’ve beaten every boss by possessing mooks to draw my fire and if you possess a really tough guy they can do a surprising amount of damage.

I think the only enemy in Control that doesn't telegraph its attack is the mold spitter guys? Which I 100% agree are terrible but really they only show up like twice and the ground mold guys can only hit you from very close. Like the enemies in Prey look good but mostly end up being weird thing that swings at you with a big health bar and which of the guns isn't just a bullet hose, the Gloo gun, the Taser, the laser that fills a bar that makes the enemy die? Like I love both games and if I had to pick between them Prey is a better game but the combat is not why I like Prey at all. Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Sep 1, 2019 |

Jack Trades posted:"Ground mold guys"? There's only one mold enemy type and they all have projectiles and there are a bunch of other enemy types that have no clear telegraphs for the attacks. There are two mold enemies as far as I can tell one is a walking guy that is basically a zombie that spits on you if you get within a few feet but has no other attacks, there is another mold that I've never actually gotten close to that fires some sort of purple attack(?) that destroys you from long range and I hate these guys but afaik they only show up in the pit and another time towards the end you can block their attacks with your shield or pop out from a corner and annihilate them with the pierce. The pit is a completely optional sidequest and the area is much harder than the surrounding area and my advice would be to come back later if you are struggling.

I mean giving people the benefit of doubt, sometimes the rocket guys shoot their rockets while right in your face and if you can't see them(like if they are behind you or behind an object) it can be hard to tell which direction a rocket is coming from. But there is also a bright red pillar of light over enemies and a loud whooshing sound when enemies warp in?

Skippy McPants posted:A character touch I genuinely enjoyed throughout the game was how quickly Jesse took to everything. Not simply rolling with the punches, but reveling in all the weirdness. Normally the protagonist in this sort of story is a mixture of confused and terrified, but Jesse is having the time of her life from the moment she walks through the door. I feel as though Jesse is like "This is where I belong" like she's been looking for something her whole life and she is not just surviving at the FBC but thriving.

I personally figured that he realized that he hosed up and offed himself in a moment of clarity to ensure the hiss was trapped in the lockdown. My secondary oddball theory that probably isn't true is that the Hiss killed him so it could put Dylan in charge but Ahti/The Oldest House beat it to the punch.

I uninstalled Control a while ago and now I'm trying to reinstall it to checkout the expeditions but clicking it does nothing, anybody else run into this problem? It just says loading underneath and I've tried the usual fixes like restarting and reinstalling the launcher. Edit: Since I hate when I google something and find somebody posted the same problem and never returned to show how they fixed it, this is the fix Epic support gave me: Epic Support posted:1. Exit the Epic Games Launcher entirely by right-clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner and click on Exit Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Dec 24, 2019 |

Donovan Trip posted:They've been making a profit since at least November and got a bunch of awards and nominations, we'll almost definitely get more. I hope the sequel can do even bigger numbers off word of mouth about the first one. The number from the sale report was 17.7 mil total gross(it looks like) and Remedy is getting 45% of the net, the 9.5mil Epic exclusivity dollars went to the publisher no telling how much if any actually went to Remedy. So splitting everything to 45% would have Remedy at a little over 12 mil probably less when you factor in manufacturing, distro and marketing costs. The Remedy ceo said the game cost around 30 millionish and wiki is saying 7.75 million of that came from the publisher.

Reading the full thing it seems in my opinion like the kind of statement you make when your game missed the sales goal but you have to put a positive spin on it. I think we will see what happens after the stuff they still have in the pipeline is out and I'll gladly take being proven wrong on this one. Remedy Ceo posted:"Control was developed in three years with a budget of less than €30 million," says Remedy CEO Tero Virtala. "We don't quite require the same huge lifetime numbers as many other games with bigger development budgets. Therefore, even though Control didn't have chart-topping sales right from the get go, we are in a good position with steady sales. We always take the long view here.

large_gourd posted:i thought 'the service weapon is not a gun it is applied violence' was a joke It's not a joke, it is applied humor. They aren't joking the Service Weapon is a conceptual idea, that's why the board calls it a sword and people say Trench's was different Edit:Like I get the argument that Remedy makes these interesting concept games (AW,Quant Break, Control) and then bolts them onto "boring" 3rd person shooter gameplay but honestly I'm not really sure what "god weapon" gameplay would actually look like within these kind of games that is saleable to people for money. It seems mainly to me like they fall down in the parts where the small budget really hurts them like enemy variety and the shooting would otherwise be fine.
