And I got all excited to play this, just to find out it’s only on Epic for PC. Ugh.
What platforms will The Expanse: A Telltale Series come to at launch on July 27? The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set to launch on Xbox One / X|S , Playstation 5 / Playstation 4, and PC (on PC, it is a limited timed exclusive for Epic Games Store).
And the wait begins.
That just eleveates guilt for 🏴☠️, I was genuinely going to pay for it, but Epic paid for me to not have the opportunity on Steam.
Yep, i would have paid full price, but I won’t buy from epic, and i won’t pay mor then 5$ for anything that was previously exclusive to this abomination.
Fuck 'em!
What’s annoying is the game devs went on Reddit to ask what everyone’s preferred gaming platform was before making this game a 1 year epic exclusive.
If it was the devs, that seems more like they were trying to gather data to give to the higher ups to sway in their preferred direction. I’m sure the devs would like their work to be published on arguably the biggest gaming marketplace opposed to the execs getting a fat bag of cash from Epic for exclusivity.
Probably ultimately wasn’t their decision to make.
Sometimes it pays to be a patient gamer. :)
It definitely sucks when it’s something you’re excited for. I’ve started to mind less nowadays though, there are so many games to play and picking it up after a year is usually not a bad general rule anyway.
What’s the issue people have with Epic Games Store?
The exclusivity-thing is a no-brainer for someone that needs to break into a market dominated by a behemoth like Valve. How would you suggest Epic Games Store grow the fastest with a big bag of Fortnite-money?
Sony plays this game the best and I don’t see as many gamers complaining about their anti-competitive behaviour, despite being the biggest one…
Epic as a company is another thing completely though but is that why gamers hate on the Epic Store?
Right. Now, please, an Expanse space sim where I can pilot the ships and engage in battles. Because that was the best part of the show.
Those streams of projectiles like deadly tentacles flailing around the ships are incredible. Would love a game that could replicate that.
Omg yes. I have no idea how it would work, I’m imagining turn based combat since it’s ttrpg based, but i want it so badly.
No turn based. Full-on hardcore space sim with 100% realistic physics and weapons systems similar to Independence War, Hunternet and DCS. Or, put in another way—Orbiter with guns.
But… That sounds like I’d be bad at it and that makes me sad. :(
If you want kind-of turn based realistic tactical space combat sim, check out Children of a Dead Earth. It’s the closest thing to The Expand space ship game.
I enjoyed what I played, and the choices felt like they could potentially be impactful in the future. Episode 1 is incredibly short, however. I explored a bunch, picked up most, if not all, the extra resources and it still clocked in at under an hour. Looking back, there were four main ‘scenes’ that actually contributed to any story.
Good start, but I really hope the future episodes are more substantial.
Man I thought telltale died. I must have gotten berenstein’s gated again.
It shut down, sold it’s assets, and then the company that bought it all reopened Telltale and started fresh. Not sure what the culture there is now, but since no news is good news, I’ll assume it’s gotten a little better than before.
