I'm playing Odin Sphere remake on vita right and oh man, it's damn good and so pretty.
Best of all, it's ocd friendly where you don't need to worry about missables -- I love games that does this.

Every game has this for me. It's called not-giving-a-shit™, I'd recommend it. Helps in all walks of life.

So edgy

There is nothing wrong with people enjoying their games however they want, if he's hyped to get 100% and collect everything, then that's great

It doesn't make you super cool because you only play the main content in games

I rarely 100% games but I don't look down on people who want to do that, each to their own, s'all good

I mean, I do optional stuff in games sometimes, but only if I find it interesting, be it side quests or what have you. I rarely feel interested in getting a 100% in anything, and I imagine it would be quite a bit more stressful if I did care about completion for the sake of completion. Don't even see how my attitude is in any form "edgy". I mean, if anyone enjoys hunting for all kinds of things in games, then hey, you be you.

seeing as how gta 5 performed the way it did, i really doubt rockstar would be idiots to announce a pc version now. we can scream and complain all the want, a huge amount of people will buy it first on consoles and then doubledip on a pc version later on. exactly like they want us to.

At least 6 months after the console version releases until we see the PC version.

Doesn't really matter to me since I always feel overwhelmed by game releases anyways, but still frustrating.

So, PUBG devs concerned over Fortnite new mode similarities. Fortnite made by Epic, creators of UE4. PUBG was made with using UE4. If PUBG devs theoretically really going to sue Epic, will this possibly be a Too Human situation all over again or Epic would go bankrupt and UE engine would be gone forever because of PUBG?

Epic has no legal claim to PUBG, and what got Silicon Knights in trouble was using UE3 as the basis for its engine but not paying royalty fees. Technically, Silicon Knights could re-release Too Human and co., but all of the code "borrowed" from Epic would need to replaced with original equivalents, which is probably never going to happen.

I'm confused by the engine part. i get that Fortnite new mode was heavily inspired by PUBG, but what does UE4 have to do with it?

I dont think I understand the "legality" of the problem. Why cant Epic make a game and also let other companies use their engine? Thousands of games use the unreal engine. Lets take out the "similar game" from the equation for this discussion as I am not sure there is a law that relates to similar games in the same engine.

The audacity to complain about others copying them right after the introduce Doom Clone mode servers.

The timing is what got Bluehole shook. Fortnite was never a battle royale game. And then boom out of nowhere they announce it because its the hot shit atm. Its very blatant.

If this was some other big dev/pub instead of Bluehole it would probably be very different. Imagine if Epic licensed out Unreal to Sega to make Binary Domain. And then 6 months after Binary Domain comes out Epic releases Gears of War (for the first time). I bet there would be shit ton of lawsuits with a big corporation like Sega involved.

Developing games takes longer than 6 months? It would be more like 2 or 3 years. And neither game invented cover based third person shooters, so I don't know what Sega would accomplish by going against Epic and, at the time, Microsoft. (In this hypothetical universe)
There is really no law against copying game play mechanics. Which is a good thing for the medium.
Why shouldn't Epic try to beat Bluehole at their own game, so to speak?

I mean, Bluehole didn't invent the concept of Battle Royale, Battle Royale (the movie) did that. Not to mention corresponding H1Z1 game mode existed long before PUBG. I don't see anything illegal here (morally questionable - yeah, sure) unless Fortnite straight out copied "the wall" and its mechanics from PUBG or something.

They're going to announce that the PC version got delayed, before they have a release date for it.

 

[GoldandBlue]

Doesn't PUBG on PC at least have a bit of an advantage since it's on the more popular client. As far as I know, Fortnite isn't coming to Steam.

 

[pretty done]

I'm expecting nothing until PS5 tbh. GTA5 made too much $$$ for them to not do that again.

I believe Fortnite does have an energy wall, lol

In any case I can't wait until the AAA clones show up. I read PlayerUnknown’s AMA and I believe he said that Fortnite is whatever, and that he definitely expected clones and welcomes them.

Pubg has what, a few months max before it's regular release and a ton to improve on? Time will tell if they stick to the schedule. I love it.
