Unity Games

[Zepondrax]

Does anyone else like games made by Unity? Everytime I load up a new game to me and I see Unity pop up I always groan and think oh no not unity. I wonder if this is because I've heard bad things over the years about games made with Unity?! What do other gamers think of Unity made games?

I dont have problems myself in Unity games so far, but i guess i read a lot of negatiivty about Unity games which makes me groan when I see "Made in Unity"

I play only indie games and most of them were made in Unity. I have never had problems that were due to the engine, though I think some of the developers have. All I think when I see 'Made By Unity' is to wonder whether the indie devs will still carry out their pledges to move to a different engine for their next games, even though Unity retreated on the 'pay per download' and fired the exec who came up with it. That was definitely the last straw when it came to dealing with the Unity company for at least some of them.

Do you actually need the "Made in Unity" splash screen before the game loads?

In retrospect it might have been a stupid idea that the engine makers demanded users of the free version (as opposed to the licensed one) put a "made with Unity" screen as part of the intro.

I've never understood all those intro logos. How many players are going to "oh, this was done with middleware product X -- let me google it so I can buy it myself"?

Same with movie credits -- who's going to hire these people after watching the movie? Granted. nowadays I do just minimize the player and let the credits run, in case there's a hidden scene, but...

Like any tool it's better in the hands of people that know how to use.

There are different tiers that developers can pay to Unity for the commercial use of their engine. One of those allows for the removal of the Unity Logo.

Battletech
Hearth Stone
Rust
Escape from Tarkov
Subnautica
Cities: Skylines
Kerbal Space Program
Cuphead
GTFO

Those are all very popular games, made using the Unity Engine. Here is a large list of games. You may recognize some of them.

Now, being an inexpensive/free engine, there will be a lot of poor quality game for it, yes, but that is due to the developer(s) not know what they are doing, not the engine it's self. That is what caused Unity to get such a bad reputation... through some of their recent drama doesn't help.

[Zepondrax]

Yes i recognise

Subnautica
Cities: Skylines
Kerbal Space Program
GTFO

I did mean that yes. I played a few games here and there they seemed ok but have definitely heard bad things about unity games

The engine has nothing to do with them being good or bad. It all depends on how serious and how committed the developers are.

unity > extremely easy to get started with, as it is kept simple with fewer options for optimization etc pp. basically buggy.
many games also without exclusive full screen (which means fsr doesn't work, for example)
unreal engine > extremely steep learning curve, many possibilities, ideal for optimization etc pp
own engine > the hurdles start from the very first line of code...

the engine is so important rofl...

For me, it's about the content and not the wrapping. ;P

I like a lot of games made using Unity, but most of them don't have the "made with Unity" splash screen as the developers have a paid plan on Unity. Most 3D games are made using either Unreal Engine or Unity, and it isn't clear-cut which is superior. On average, games with the splash screen will have worse quality since the devs have less money to spend and are more likely to be hobbyists rather than a team working at a company. Your experience with the game and any issues you might encounter is far more determined by how the engine is used rather than which engine is used.

the argument only remains as long as you're not sitting in front of certain games. i'll use the stalker and metro series as examples. individual aspects aren't enough, everything has to work together. Story and its depth (content apart from the main task) is important, but so is the sound and the visuals... imagine the games without the lighting... the immersion would be completely destroyed because 1 aspect would be missing. but if i take examples like quake cs ut or something else, graphics are definitely secondary.
it depends on the game.

Unity engine didn't stop Battletech and Cuphead from being very good games. Nor some others mentioned in this thread in some previous posts. Edit: While I never finished Cuphead (too hard for me), I have played Battletech for a few hundred hours on GOG and never encountered a bug.

2 games.... steam and other plattforms get flooded with unity games... naraka bladepoint is a good example unity was the wrong choice

2 games I had personal experience with AND are widely known. I can also add "Anno: Mutationem", "Metal Unit", "Scarlet Maiden", "Pillars of Eternity", "Ara Fell", "Rise of the third power", "Minoria" ... I would have to google every game from my library to complete the list. NONE of the games I listed had particularly glaring bugs. Edit: I only remembered Pillars of Eternity while writing this post, that's another well known game I spent 100+ hours in on GOG and NEVER saw a bug.

There are lots of good and fun games made with the Unity game engine, yeah.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

The only problem I have with Unity is the scam they tried to pull off recently. Just because of this I'm now seeing Unity as a whole in a completely negative light. You never know if they'll try to pull some crap like that again.

Short of that, Unity as a game engine is just a tool like any other. Those who use the tool make the end product look like it is, not the tool itself.

[Zepondrax]

Its like the game without sound. Im ryingt o play EDGE OF ETERNITY and Sound Keeps dropping, I know its not just the game as I have had had this issue with 4 other games already
