Why should we care? Well because if I have a friend, or a business partner, I care about how they treat other people. Simple as that. This is exactly why I support gog and CDPR, because they're really good to their customers.

You say "I hate when people are too lazy to include the relevant information in their post, pointing at some random youtuber's vlog instead."

And I say, It's really annoying when people don't watch the video I posted, especially when it contains the relevant information I presented, practically on a silver platter, and then they complain and say I didn't give them that information.

The information is in the video my friend, of course that is why I posted it.

It's a short and concise video, and it's possible to skip through the video if you like. The video is pure information and contains nothing else.

I use 1440p. Control is very resolution sensitive so you'll likely be able to run it better. Also if you like DLSS, as many do, and run it at 540p it will give you a massive boost in framerates. I'm just saying don't expect high settings. He wants a card that will run it "fine at high settings."

Because Epics whole modus operandi, whether it is genuine or otherwise, is a more consumer friendly market believe it or not. hahah The Exclusives might make it seem contrary to that. They just make an offer developers dont want to refuse.

They want to take the strangle hold Steam has on being the primary store front more or less. I dont think Epic, it self, cares one way or another if they become the main store front. I personally believe that they have noticed a decline in quality games, sales, and studio longevity (especially indie) due, in part, to Steams over flux of games. This hurts Epics bottom line, small studio security, etc. If have checked back in the past it took titles GOG has been recently getting many years to get here from Steam. However, now we are getting similar quality titles almost immediately after the Epic games store exclusive. As well as non epic exclusive titles at launch

Whereas, the trend in the past was years on Steam. Now this cant all be just Epics doing but it is a definite shift in the trend. However you want to explain it. The result is definite improved market for game consumers. Which is what we all wanted.

Just noticed that Control Ultimate Edition is around 40 dollars (20 percent off) on Steam. It is not bad price wise. I was expecting it to sell for more for some reason. I guess because every one was griping about it being a cash grab not to give every one who purchased the base game plus DLC the ultimate edition. Technically though it is just all bundled in to one but the two versions are identical. haha

So, based on the amount of anger, I was expecting a 70 dollar , or more, launch price on Steam. :D

If I understand it right; you're saying that some people that basically already had the ultimate version (minus the name ultimate) call it a "cash grab" because their game + all DLC won't be called "ultimate version".
Maybe you're referring to a missing cheap upgrade path for the base version? Because that story is just too silly...

It is a very silly story but I saw an article and comments that followed about just that. That being charged for the Ultimate edition was a greedy move when people prior had payed for the base game and the DLC. It seems I spoke a bit out of turn. It was the console version people were gripping about.

Anyway, either way, I feel it is silly as the base game plus the DLC equal the ultimate edition...just not in name. The argument was that some people felt that they should get the Ultimate edition gratis. I saw the argument extend to the PC versions too. I am sorry I brought it up now. I dont really feel it is a grievous thing. As the two versions are identical.

pff did they really just downreped you just because you bought it on epic?:O
what a toxic behavior

yeah it should be good enough

It certainly helps there are not many AAA monsters which deserve backup in my case. I wouldn't play many of them again.

not entirely sure but all the evidence does seem to point towards that direction yea .... buggers should be happy, on epic th e game is A still 60 bucks and if i want the dlc i have to pay another 24 for the season pass on gog and steam you pay 50 for the complete game

Dual 5tb? Bah, I have 3 raid 5 boxes with 30-40tb and that may expand to 4 shortly! Not to mention the hdds in the main machine, a local nas, and various assorted external hdds. I am not losing anything again!

But I do agree, gogs offline installers are a bit of joke. No way to download old versions. No changelog or no information. “Updates” to squeeze more galaxy only parts in or remove content.

Only just noticed this game. Whats it all about? What does it feel there is a hype factor with it? (justified?)

It's like a third-person System Shock kinda. It's pretty good, though for me the constantly respawning enemies made it feel repetitive.

Wait a few more months for Nvidia and AMD to release their next line of cards. I have a 5700 XT (AMD) and it runs this card on high settings @ 1080p just fine, but in a few months it'll be the difference of getting a 5700 XT for $400 versus $300 or maybe even less. Someone here posted the 5700 XT is $480 CAD, that's pretty outrageous. I bought my model for $369 USD in April, so unless prices have severely went up, it might be cheaper to buy it here on a US site and have it imported, if you were going to go AMD.

If you want to go Nvidia, the point stands. a 2060 will be $80-100 cheaper within the next 6 months, hopefully.

... not if the prices for the 3000 series are as high as they are rumored to be. Chances are prices for the 2000 series will stay the same.

This game reminds me of Quantum Break. Is there an option to play a male character instead?
