Very much worth a watch, this show is pretty unique. It does complete its story arcs, so you will not get frustrated by that if that is your worry.

Excellent show overall. Season one was riveting, but season two felt rushed.

That's barely 15 months of console exclusivity for a flagship title. Sony's getting there with PC releases as time goes on.

Reminds me of Guns of Icarus, but on land and extraction shootery.

Sure this is about protecting their bottom line. However the argument that this contradicts the Apple vs Epic verdict seems sound.

OMG it's finally happening !

He's well liked because he came from the trenches and has a good track record of knowing his shit. When compared with the likes of Kotick or Guillemot, it's a breath of fresh air (despite being such a low bar). However as one of the highest execs in the entire gaming industry, this is the kind of stuff he does all year long.

Plus you know, his public-facing image is well curated and people like it.

The Epic Games Launcher is so far behind on features compared to Steam it's not even funny. Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front and to try and force users onto the platform with exclusivity deals and sweeten the deal with free games.

The one user-centric killer feature Epic has in their stack IMHO is the built-in multiplayer crossplay. Except it's not even exclusive to their store ironically (you do need an Epic account for it though).

Probably referring to the 6-month timed exclusivity on PC for EGS that Borderlands 3 went through.

In the space hulk og board game and most video game adaptations, Space Marines die very quickly to genestealers and such.

Even in the first SM game, the resilience came from doing melee executions (akin to glory kills from doom) which triggered health regen. And you were not even immune to damage during the animation !

Yeah, that's PR-speak for "our game design and/or performance does not scale well to more than 3 players".

In the middle of their marketing blitz they try and cover all their bases I guess.

Same here. My main issues with Anthem were the technical issues at launch and that they abandoned it so fast.

I really enjoyed the gameplay and visuals. I sometimes fire it up again, only to find I already know pretty much all this game has to offer.
