Before You Buy

[theringmaster55]

I know this is on Steam now but when the price is shown on Steam, compare it to the Epic Games Store game price to save you a bit more money because whatever you do, the game will still run the same on both platforms.

This is because when I got it from Epic Games I had a £10 discount on the game, so I saved money from doing that and I don't think Steam has that just yet.

Do You Agree?

i assure you that the majority of people who were interested in DBH on PC knew this was on PC but waited for the steam version so they dont have to deal with epic and their chinese overlords

[theringmaster55]

I have never heard of the chinese overlords on Epic Games

While I agree that it's smart to wait and compare the prices for the 2 stores before making a purchase, I still have to point out something like why people waited so long for a Steam release.
The thing about people waiting for a Steam release is that they don't just "hate" Epic Games Store, sure that's a factor, but for me there're several other reasons:
- The store is more feature-complete than Epic Games.
- All my games under one store for easy management.
- There're more choices here for everyone, as there're more "games" on Steam now, and they offer a larger range of genres as Epic doesn't allow mature contents on their platform yet.
- I don't agree with their business model, forcing players to use their store if they want to play the game on-release with exclusive deals.
- Regional pricing for pretty much everywhere, I can't speak for everyone, but I'm 95% certain I can get the game here for a better price than EGS. And if the price's not ideal, I can wait for sale.

Personally I don't believe the whole "Chinese spyware" business, and I still get free games on EGS from time to time, but if a game still see chances of a Steam release, even much later I would still prefer buying those here.

You have just made some really good points there Camellia, I totally agree with what you are saying.

The thing about Epic Games Store is that I don't love it. If I don't love it, I don't buy games there.

Yes, you might pay more if you get the game from Steam, but, it will have full controller support, something the Epic version is very much lacking. I only got my copy from Epic because I didn't know at the time that it was coming to Steam. Had I known I would have waited.

Still going to get it from Steam anyway as I want that controller support.

[theringmaster55]

Yeah, even though I have got it on EG, I may still get it on Steam as well because why the heck not.

i will probably buy it on steam. i am totally willing to pay more for every game i buy just to have it on steam and be able to use all the features it offers.
only game i bought on epic was outer worlds and that was more to support the devs cause i luv obsidian. will rebuy on steam once released.

Absolutely, then I'd uninstall Epic.

Quantic released a patch the other day, supposed to fix crash issues. It will also, once installed, bring up a prompt saying that 445.87 is the minimum Nvidia driver requirement, assuming you don't already have that driver, which I do.

This patch will, I imagine, be installed automatically when you buy and install the game in Steam. I'd far rather do that than try and download and install it from Epic.

Thanks rogb1970

I have uninstalled Epic and will probably wait until July time until I get DBH because that is when my birthday is and I hope to get some Steam wallet money so I get it kind of free on Steam.

[rogb1970]

Sounds like a plan!

For many, I suspect Quantic games were the only reason people went to Epic. Now they're going to be on Steam the need for Epic just won't be there.

I try and do my best to get all my games from Steam as it is user friendly etc but sometimes when I see a game on another game service which is not on Steam, I don't hold back and just I get it.

[Viewbob]

why tf is the release date for this june 18th anyway, thats 2 and a half weeks away

[theringmaster55]

Maybe because they need to plan some stuff beforehand but I know what you mean.

[Viewbob]

its literally already on epic games, i guess the eg version is dog shít and they are actually gonna optimise it for steam
