Yeah I'm thinking Timmy won.
You can like, you know, not play the fucking game?
Ah yes another episode of seething steamies' fragile ego.
I wouldn't buy EDF6 on release anyway. Wait for a deep sale, and it'll probably be off Epic by then anyway. If not, then I'll rest easy knowing I'm not missing out on much.
Why play this when helldivers 2 did it better
Why would you play this garbage copy-paste in the first place?
>>683678996Helldivers 2 fucked up
Thumbs down, refunded.
>>683678621>EDF fanboys salivate for this to release>It comes out >EPIC GAME ACCOUNT REQUIRED! Kek, poor bastards. I don't blame them for being pissed off.
Helldivers just got a sweet update so back to that then
didn't some other game have this and you just clicked the x in the corner?
60 dollars saved. I’m going back too EDF 5
its also capped to 60 fps lol
>>683678621watch steamies piss shit and cry over a 10 second sign-up again
>>683678621>>683678737LMAO
Why are steam cucks like this? It's taking 30sec creating an account, you don't even have to download anything.
>>683678737>being forced to sign up for superfluous bullshit to play a game i bought on steam is GOOD actuallybootlicking scum
>>683679561Stay mad, steamie. Epic is the superior service so of course every relevant games require their service.
>>683679468>>683679509Why even do this in the first place?You shouldn't need an account on a different platform
>>683679509>>683679468blowing my cock takes ten seconds, stop complaining and start gagging, sissy
>>683679561Aren't you forced to download Steam, a DRM platform to buy and play the game in the first place?
>EDF fags made fun of Helldivers for the PSN account fiasco>EDF6 demands an Epic account on releaseTopkek
>>683679649>steam>drmTimmy really not sending his best jeets.
>>683678621Okay, but how does this affect you personally?
>>683679682yes?
>>683679162All ten of them now have a ruined day. Poor bastards.
>>683679715Ah, yes. A classic strategy out of Reddit's playbook, the "How does this affect you personally?" defense.
Epic is still a thing?
>>683679835Tencent money means it'll continue to exist until the end of time.
>>683679835Epic is making more money than Valve despite throwing money at Epic Games
Yeah I'm thinking I shan't be playing.
>>683679902yeah it's 10cent printing money and not fartniteretard
>>683679561Why would you buy a game that needs an account on another drm botnet bloatware? Just buy at at the store that provides the online eservices and account management.I swear to allah it's only steamies that behave this way.
This will keep happening as long as Sony keeps trying to strong-arm it's way onto PC.Epic is only a requirement, because they want you to crossplay with people on Playstation. You will continue to see this happening while Tim and Sony are butt buddies.
>>683679509>had to make an epic account once to claim a game I got with a game card>the day after the account of another game I shared the same login with got logged in on from some 3rd world shitholeFuck epic.
>>683680134SIR SIR DO NOT REDEEM THE EPIC ACCOUNT!
Refund request submitted, bros.
>>683678621oh my fucking god WHYthe only fucking game I look forward to all year and it pulls this shit, I'm gonna fucking kill myself
>>683679681The best part about it.It's always fun seeing games /v/ dickrides like EDF, TF2, Dragon's Dogma etc. turn to shit because they're some of the most annoying fucks on this board who think they're so superior for playing those games.
>>683679715how many hospitals did you bomb today?
>>683680294Those games were fun before they turned to shit, so it's understandable if people get mad over this
They don't even tell you that you need one on the store page, like they're required to.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep playing 5 until this is fixed
>>683678621what? for what fucking reason? why?
i know your all on the epic hate train, sure fuck em. but 60 bucks? wasnt helldivers 40? theyre the same fuckin game.
>>683678621>get achievement>it locks my mouseat least the epic games signup is automatic and just links to your steam with no details needed but fuck that's lame
>>683680586>just links to your steam with no details neededThat's even worse, you mongrel. You just handed all of your Steam customer data to president Xi.
>>683678621Imagine killing your ultra niche game on PC on launch, because you just had to gobble Epic cock and couldn't even be arsed to disclose a third party dependency on your store page.They even had the perfect release window right after the Helldivers 2 drama to boost up their sales.
>>683679468>>683679509These posts were written by bots.
>>683680420>TF2Sure>EDFNo clue never played it and its players are a loud minority but they were acting uppity in Helldivers2 threads>Dragon's DogmaOne of the most overrated games on /v/, shit game barely functions and the gameplay is ok at best, I suspect a big reason for it being so overrated is console faggotry.
>>683680523Console/PC crossplayThat's the usual reason to use Epic Online
>>683678621That's what efd fans get for shilling their shit game in every helldivers thread.
>>683680960nope, no console crossplay available
>>683678737Who says I like steam either retard? A game should work without a drm launcher like steam or epic
>>683678621fucking what
>>683680563it's actually $90 if you want the full gameHAHAHA
Blame valve for not supporting crossplay. For some reason Valve does not want to support it. Which is why in crossplay games you have to sign up to stuff like an EA, Blizz, Microsoft account.Steamies will never bring this up.
>2 year delay>full price, no DLCs included>Ebin Game Store account required詩的正義
>>683681084Oh, all right. Then I have no idea why it even requires the Epic thing, especially since 4 and 5 had no issues using Steam servers for online
>>683681180>not supporting crossplayI can play chivalry 2 or killing floor 2 just fine with ebinpiggies, with no ebin games account thoughunless you mean console crossplay, which EDF6 does not have
>>683681180>Blame valve for not supporting crossplay.Yet there are dozens of games on Steam that have crossplay that do not require an Epig Gay account. Steam has no business dealing with console manufacturers. They are a PC videogame retailer.
>>683681180steam sucks but not supporting crossplay is based, we dont need consoleniggers ruining our games with legal aimbots and their support of shitty industry practices
>>683680697>he will publicly shame me with my real name alongside the hentai games i've purchasedit's over..
>>683680523Steam/gaben don't allow other platforms to use their networkingEpic allows anyone and everyone to use theirsNot the first game to do this, not the last, payday 2,killing floor 2 and many other games use it cause of steams limitation
>>683678621Based. Steamcels SEETHING!
>>683681180First descendant on steam has crossplay with ps5 and xbox1 tho
>>683681291>payday 2,killing floor 2 and many other games use it cause of steams limitationNone of which require an account. They also don't install the Epic Online Services on your computer (which you need to separately delete when uninstalling the game).
Why do devs not want us to play their games?
>>683678737imagine if you needed a steam account to play a game on epic lol
>>683681286>alongside the hentai games i've purchased.What's wrong with that....unless they are really bad...
Chaddivers win again.
>>683681180>Blame valve for not supporting crossplay.fucking what? I'm pretty sure it fucking does.
>>683681180>Blame valve for not supporting crossplay.you mean the guys that already allow crossplay with EGS? you niggershills get dumber by the minute
>>683681354Small Japanese indie dev, please understand
I've never seen a game get review bombed for requiring the Rockstar social club things or even a Ubisoft accountHell, everyone was kinda fine with the dumb Games for Windows Live shitWhat's the difference here? Genuine question, since I don't have an Epic account
>>683681609no store page disclosure of any kindbut also with those games, you kinda know what you're getting intoyou don't expect AAA slop tactics like this from beloved franchies like EDF
>>683681609It's the mild annoyance that comes from all the shit like that compounded with a deep hatred for epic's strategy of buying up exclusives for their store. Forcing an epic login is basically like putting the star of david on your game because of that.
>>683681609>since I don't have an Epic accountTim makes VaIvedrones seethe like crazy for some reason
>>683681609There are two game series centered around a small group of players fighting against a huge horde of aliens. EDF and Helldivers. Helldivers 2 recently had a giant fiasco where they intended on forcing the playerbase to create a Playstation account to continue playing the game. Being quite literally trained to band together to fight great evil, the community rejected this and successfully brigaded to have this requirement removed before it ever even fully settled in. Now, along comes EDF6, requiring an Epic Games account without disclosing this on the store page. What did they expect would happen?
It's fucking over..
>>683681609>Hell, everyone was kinda fine with the dumb Games for Windows Live shitNice history revisionism there, faggot. Are you a tranny or Californian perchance?
>>683678621Isn't it just some backend service to play with EGSfags?
>>683681609Other then people not wanting to do with anything Epic realated(other then the engine) people are upset that it wasn't stated on the store page or trailers that online required an EG account to link your steam.
>>683682038It's a requirement to even play with other steam fags. Don't make an account then no online play for (You).
>>683681609>everyone was kinda fine with the dumb Games for Windows Live Lost planet 2 is still not fixed to this day
My refund has already been accepted.
I'm conflicted, I am strongly against the presence of the refund system but I also really fell tempted to refund.Really if steam themselves just opened up refunds on extreme cases like this it would be nice but cunt ass states had to go putting it utterly unreasonable universal refund requirements
>>683682097Don't remind me
>>683681609>I've never seen a game get review bombed for requiring the Rockstar social club things or even a Ubisoft accountFor starters those games are probably made by them do them needing their respective accounts to play is a givenSecondly nowhere is it stated that you need a EGS account to play, it forces the installation, and if you don't want it you can kiss your multiplayer goodbye, despite it not being needed for any of the previous games
>>683682204They are more lenient when it comes to day 1 fuck up like this. I got refunded when I bought Bannerlord day 1 but was met with huge optimization issue and the game ran like shit.
>>683681609Games for windows live was treated as a selling point, when you brought a game that needed it it was emblazoned on the front cover so you knew what you were getting into
>>683682097They will never make another Lost Planet because all the stories have been told.
>>683682038it's their crossplay solutionwhich would have made sense had they release this at the same time as the PS versions, and not waited 2 years for no reason
Im so fucking tired of EGS bros...
>HD2 is FULL OF SPYWARE>use ours instead!kek
can you play offline without egs shit at least?
>>683682427it's just for online yes
>>683682427Nope. Epic Online Services get installed when you run the game, and it will not run if you uninstall Epic Online Services. The only thing you're dodging is linking an Epic account to your Steam account. The spyware itself still has full access to whatever it wants, even while you're playing singleplayer.
>>683681291>Payday 2Oh yeah, the forced Epic update that literally broke the multiplayer and they never bothered to fix it.
It's almost unbelievable how out of touch nips are
>>683681180We JUST had a huge debacle because sonyfags wanted to thrust their tiny dicks down PChads throats in Helldivers 2, do you know why? Because it has crossplay. You fags have no fucking memory. Take another benzo you stupid zoomer.>steamiesOr go shit in the street again ranjeesh.
>>683682552crossplay in helldivers 2 works without a psn account, retard
>>683682204refund is a great tool to punish publishers, steam doesn't eat any cost of you refunding a game, because steam keeps the 30% and thus the publisher/dev is the one who is fucked
Is it not a requirement on steam that publishers need to state 3rd party account requirements? There's no mention of it on the store page. I assume valve could slap them hard for this and all refund requests would be accepted even if over the normal 2 hour play time.They should just outright ban games with forced 3rd party account requirements to access game features/to play at all (optional for stuff like save transfer is fine). 99% of the time they absolutely don't actually need you to make an account in order to provide the game service/feature, they just demand it because they want to lock you into their system and monetize your data, and they know most gamers are retards who will willingly pay a second time with their personal info after already paying with cash without blinking an eye.
>>683682552Psn account was forced after that though.It worked perfectly fine without it
>>683678621>forced to make an account for a spyware platform>can crossplay with EGS-using subhumans
6th install. Not even for an incel, that's why when incels see this, they actually get pain in their head. Being sold junk by a faggot
>>683682593Only because people told sony to fuck off why are you arguing when you don't know shit about fuck
>>683681180it's funny the one time Epic actually does compete on features they get fucked for it
>>683682683So it doesn't require it, while edf6 does require it
>>683681609When you buy a ROCKSTAR game you know you can be expected to run the ROCKSTAR launcher.When you buy a UBISOFT game you know you can be expected to run the UBISOFT launcher.When you buy a D3 game you DON'T know you can be expected to run the EPIC GAMES launcher.
God damn it, Bandai.
>>683682593Literally my point dumbass.You don't NEED a 2nd or 3rd account for crossplay.>>683682661Yeah that's my point.
God probably does make money from sales of junk. Not sure what he's taking if it's not money.

Practically everything online nowadays tries to force you to get an account. It's blatantly just datamining and the last thing anyone wants or needs is another fucking account somewhere. Of course instead of spitting in the faces of platforms that do this and telling them to fuck off, people just grumble and cuck out anyway because they have toc onsoom
>>683680869Get bent denuvodivers faggot
>>683682951ORi can just keep playing 4.1 instead
>>683681180Killer Instinct on steam has full crossplay without any account bullshit so fuck you.
You're welcome!
Every time
>another day>another shit fit episode of Steamies malding uncontrollably because they only have eyes for Daddy Gabenis it time to admit Steam troons are a literal cult? its quite concerning
Steam is in a position to muscle in on this and completely kill the requirement for extra accounts and launchers(you have this extra shit? sorry buddy we can't host your game), but they don't act on itsame with the extra-intrusive DRMs beyond the easy to crack steam wrapper
I don't mind the spyware requirement, what really sucks is that if Sandlot doesn't get rid of it, the playerbase for this already niche game is gonna get cut in half
>>683683163yeah but this is fucking Sandlot we're talking about here, it's an off-the-shelf solution like EOS or nothing

REMINDER THIS IS BEEN IMPLENTED SINCE THE CONSOLE RELEASEREASON: CROSSPLAY BETWEEN PS4 AND PS5. YOU CAN THANK SONY FOR THIS
ED-F for respects.
PC gamers continue to be the most oppressed group in gaming, extremely concerning
>>683683475I'm still looking for it, I keep finding the PS4 jap version :(
So is the opposite also true? Can the one actual EGS user confirm if he's forced to make a Steam account?Just curious.Because jokes aside that'd be just as bad really.
>>683680960Darktide has crossplay with consoles using Epic Online Service, no account is required.
welpguess I'm saving a bit of money
>>683683290They could & should, but I assume some of the AAAslop publishers that demand unnecessary accounts just to play their games would seethe and stop selling on steam. Valve probably don't want to lose those sales. At the end of the day, the real problem is gamers accepting it in the first place. Most don't think of the consequences of data breaches etc and will just sign up for yet another account without a second thought.

>>683681180I've played Darktide with console people just fine on Steam
>>683681180>not supporting crossplay>Valve does not want to support itStrange. I very clearly remember playing Portal 2 on steam with friends on PS3.

Does that mean people will go back to 5? I just got that last sale and the lobbies were kinda empty. Luckily it's fun in SP tooWhat's the best class? I like air dropper even in SP because the 150mm gun is funny
>>683681609I actively avoided games that needed third party launchers, always have.That said, at least when it's a game by a given company asking for that company's launcher, it tends to tell you it needs it.
anyone lobbie?search by room name
>>683683654>just take it up your ass like we consolecucks do, you heckin CHUD lol
This is karma for the EDFtrannies shitting on Helldivers 2's PSN requirement.

>>683683290Steam could and should but, on the other hand, they have the sole power to determine when they can, and then that means the "should" becomes also just a matter of what they think they should intervene on.Frankly I rather they stay as hands off as possible from shit. They're already far too hands on with shit like banning certain 2D hentai games as is and it's transparent how much it lacks any sort of coherency and it's up to whatever faggot was reviewing the given game.

>>683684135force shitpost wars and the people pushing them is the most pathetic thing on this entire boardgo chew on glass, you fucking faggot
Curious why everyone is saying they're going back to 4.1 and not 5. Is 5 bad?
>>683678621So what I'm getting from this and helldivers 2 (and it's many dramas) is that corporations really don't want you fighting bugs for some reason.
>>683681180>Blame valve for not supporting crossplayBut I don't want that shit. Console niggers should be locked off on their own servers, period.Cope
>>683684345no, they just really want to have control over you while you do it
>>683678737Steam is literally social media for autists, thus the insane devotion
>>683684374Is it really any different than me playing the game with a controller
>>683678621Ironic considering the fit everyone threw over Helldivers. Fucking lmao
>>683684398so they can control you and decide who the bugs are, but we know who the bugs really are!
>>683684236After looking around the issue is Easy Anti Cheat probablyEOS provides EAC for free as part of using it so, most like that's the issue.
>>683678621I remember when sega tried this shit with sonic.
>all my steam games have crossplay (which I disable)>this single example is why it’s fine actuallyI’m just not going to play it lol
>>683684398Why do they want to fuck with my bug killing experience so badly?What did good honest earth defenders do to deserve this?Why must we be raped by swedes and their retarded balancing?Why must we be lied to about hidden account and software requirements?Why can't we just kill bugs in peace?
>>683681609Valve steamy brain rot, literally. There is no other argument, they can't and never will explain themselves.
>>683681609It's 95% about the total lack of pre-release disclosure in this case. The store page still doesn't even mention it now
>>683678621It's all glorified EDF 4.0 anyways. Don't give these fucks a penny.
>>683681180What the fuck are you talking about? Timmy could use Steamworks on EGS and it would cost him nothing.But he chooses to be a fucking faggot and somehow it works to fool retards like you

>>683679468Yes I will complain about needlessly giving my info out to companies so they can sell it
>>683684816Nope just epic spyware insteadGotta love how we get fucked regardless of what we play unless we just play the older EDF games.If they don't change this the main thing will just be to pirate it and use an epic multiplayer emulator instead
Meh who cares, its just a shit version of helldivers anyway. $60 just so raiders get drones is a scam.
>>683679681Both are bad situations
>>683681180>hey steamies, listen to my lies>seething yet?
>>683681609If Rockstar and Ubisoft started forcing their shitty launchers into games that they neither developed nor published, you would see complain.
welp…. Guess I’m going back to Helldivers…
>/v/ hypes up EDF vs Helldivers 2>both games get fucked over in unique waysDamn Shazamposters are back I guess?How the fuck did both games TIE at failing?
>>683685054You can always play 4.1 or 5
>>683681609When I see the big warning about mandatory 3rd party account on a store page, I just don't buy so there's no need to leave a negative review. Applies to Ubisoft, Rockstar and Epic alike.These fucks however did not warn anyone.
>>683685054They aren’t really comparable, Helldivers 2 was a smash hit whereas edf is predictably doa
>>683684765Reminder that ants make up a larger portion of Earth's biomass than any other animal
>https://may.2chan.net/b/res/1240405014.htm>not even the nips their biggest audience likes itHoly FUCK it's so over. This was literally the top selling game in the JP region of Steam.
>>683685054it's actually in the exact same way, just with different companies, which is even funnierthey had months to see how pissed people were over the Helldivers thing, and then did exactly that but WITHOUT getting a bunch of sales first like HD did
>>683685054Everything is fucked because shareholders and venture capital exists.Companies scrambling to do everything in their power to up their stock market value is directly responsible for every single case of enshittening and other garbage nobody asks for, that keeps getting pushed on everyone.Both Sony and Epic are desperate to increase user sign-ups and monthly active users for their services and it's the only thing that matters, and so we end up with shit like PSN being forced into Ghost of Tsushima
>>683681609Steamies are the biggest cult with in the gaming community. But what do you expect from turd worlders. Glad i always play console with crossplay off. Eat shit, shitters
>>683685136>smash hitYou mean FOTM
>>683680034Imagine if you had to get steam to play your game you bought on epic store.

>>683685303being FotM necessitates being a hit
Come on guys, stop acting like crybabies it’s really not a big deal. EOS crossplay is actually a great option and it’s a nice move on the devs for including it. I get that people might be disappointed but this is getting a bit much
>>683681180>Blame valve for not supporting crossplay.Didn't happen.They deserved it.
>>683685164epic sirs... bloody basterd benchode japans hate it, we need to immigrate them and shit on their streets sarsFOR TIM-SAMA
>>683685286>librewolfbased
>>683685412get a tripcode tim so I can filter you
>>683685374Neither is epic game store big enough to get away with it either. Evidently.
>>683685412
>>683685412No ones going to make an account on your spybot platform, timmy
>>683685164>The story of EDF6 begins with humanity being almost completely annihilated, butwill the reviews also start from that point?kekI didn't realize the japs loved Grim Dawn so much
>>683678621So is it just EOS but with a disclaimer and a dummy account instead of hiding it in the EULA or something more? Will it download files if I already play a game that uses EOS like Elden Ring?
id rather play inscet armageddon then this
>>683681609GFWL was the worst of the bunch. Super buggy for much of it's lifetime. The fact that it shutdown, rendering some games unpurchasable and others inoperable, effectively showed why these extra storefront/drm layers should always be met with vitriol.https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=8059
I'm not going to make an Epic accountI'm just not gonna do it
>>683685412Tim go back to chewing on your remote
>>683685164>Epic is bad because the CEO is baldmy fucking sides
I JUST KILLED A FRANCHISE WITH MY FREAKING DIGITAL STOREFRONT
>No email or username required>Its another 'Steam cultists throw a shitfit about literally nothing' episode
>>683685164>first the black samurai>now thisThey just can't take a break.
>dd2 is shit>edf has epic games
>>683685565To be fair have you seen Gaben's luscious hair? How can timmy compete?
>>683685382You can't even launch the game without letting it install EGS first
>>683685164>Sigh. I'm guess I'l just play Grimdawn then...lmao based japs
>>683685592>>No email or username requiredThen why do I have to create an account?
>NOOOOOOOOOOO BUT MUH HECKING SECURITY>he says while he's got 10 ccp chinkslop gacha "games" in phone>he says while he's PC uses wangblows pajeet selling your data edition as his OS>he says while he's posting on 4channel, owned by hiroyuki the stupid nigger who sold 2chan user data and totally not doing the same thing to this site btw *wink* *wink*
YOU LITERALLY CLICK ONE BUTTON AND YOUR ACCOUNT IS CREATED HOLY SHIT HOW TEDIOUS IS THAT
>>683685491It's the sequel to 5, by the end of which humanity was almost completely wiped outSo far, they've always done stories in two parts like that, shitty western spin-offs not included
Bring back thread ips and watch these two samefagging EGS-defending retards get outed.On the off chance they aren't getting paid, ironic shitposting is still shitposting and is the domain of zoomers.
>>683685565So this is why Timmy obsesses over Gaben so much,
Just fucking make the account. The online is fun as hell
>>683681609>Hell, everyone was kinda fine with the dumb Games for Windows Live shit
>>683685723it's also one button to refund the game :)
>>683685723Funny how if they had made it just silently automatically do that they wouldn't currently have a problem beyond the epic services auto-installing
This voice acting is 100% AI. Its really lacking the soul of 4.1 and 5. They really didnt want to spend a cent. What a let down
>>683685723>>683685765no
>>683685765No.
>>683685765nah
>>683685765Fuck off, tim
>>683685750that's exactly the reason the counters got yoinkedgookmoot saw how often shills were outed
does this game work on steam deck?????
>>683685652I don't know why they didn't just make it automatic like every other game using EOS. All you have to do is click the button and you're good to go. Elden Ring literally does the same thing just in the background. This is a big nothing burger, unironically.
>>683685765No, I'm just gonna play 5 again
>>683681609It wouldn't have received even 1/10th of the backlash if it didn't try to trojan horse this shit in They went for short term gains on their cult classic and they did it in the most retarded way imaginable, which is actually incredible given what they saw happen to helldivers It's like seeing a gymnast fuck up a backflip, break their neck, and then scream to the world>I can break my neck way better than that, that was casual neck breaking my neck break is going to hit single digits on steam reviews
>>683685624>>683685754Timbros...
Diver chads made sony kneel, you edf cucks have no such power. Cope and seethe.
Review bomb, don't play, wait for 2 weeks to see if changes, if not refund.Goodbye Shark Balloon
>>683685820>>683685791LMAOOO NO FRIENDS
>every single game connects to EOS in the background>EDF6 has a hugeass disclaimer telling you you need an EGS account but it functions the same way as EOSWhat the fuck were they thinking, they literally scared away thousands of potential customers
>>683685802Or just "continue without account" and emphasize how signing in is optional. Making the button say "you HAVE to make the account goy" is what really shoved icicles up gamer assholes.
>>683685927>Elden Ring literally does the same thing just in the background.Elden Ring connects to EOS. EDF6 tried to install the software for it on my PC.
>>683685164EDF6 was released in Japan in 2022 though
It finally happened. EDF finally went into "you'll buy it anyway chud" mindset. guess I wont then.
>>683683683Someone said in the other thread that you don't because every account is considered an epic one, even on steam, which is also the reason why it force install the ebin online service.
>>683683642Hundreds of games have crossplay between ps4 ps5 without tardwrangling epic in the middle, why is this the exception?
Unironically their mistake was to show people it uses EOSPlenty of games already do and just silently create a dummy accountBetween your easy anti cheats your punkbusters vanguards and whatnot it's likely all these people reviewbombing have several kernel access spywares running this very instantI am honestly so burned out with debloating and uninstalling shitSuit yourself, take all the data actually i'd love it if the CCP could recommend me new porn games based on my tastes
>>683686115They didn't get the PC version until we did, though
>>683684212>>6836841203 is something Epic shills made up, Timmy asked for the access to their backend so he can spy on Steam users as well and Gabe told him to fuck off, so now shills say it's Steam's fault for not giving in and that crossplay with Steamworks is impossible(a big fat lie).
>only needs EGS service for crossplay>no email or username required>takes literally 5 secondsI knew you faggots are retarded shizos but your are outdoing yourselves today
>11k people in Steam playing>EDF5 had 8kWAIT A MINUTE EDFBROSTHERES STILL HOPELOTS OF PEOPLE GOT IT THEY JUST NEED TO FIX THE EOS SHIT BEFORE MORE REFUNDS AND NEGATIVE REVIEWS DROP AND WERE BACK IN BUSINESS
>>683686115Not on PC. It was playstation-bound for two years.
>>683686115They spent 2 years dicksucking Sony for some extra cash
>>683686172See >>683685820>>683685821>>683685858>>683685863>>683685871
>>683686172Still makes no sense why you need it in the first place
>>683686172Starting to think that every normalfag playing pve mass shooters can actually not read.
>>683686085https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/news/in-less-than-a-month-how-earth-defense-force-6-added-crossplay-by-adopting-epic-online-servicesThe console version actually uses EOS as well as it needs crossplay between PS4 and PS5, but there obviously isn't a giant disclaimer about how it's using fucking Epic. If Sandlot had just used the silent version of EOS this thread wouldn't even be up right now.
>>683686204feels good to be a Sony chad. Eat shit steamie
>>683686172don't care, not creating any additional accounts for Tim's next quarterly evaluation
>>683685978man's got a better hairline than me and I'm only 30
>>683686172>BUT IT'S EASY, IT ONLY TAKES FIVE SECONDSI'm getting real tired of this line, Rajesh
simple question: is it true that the game installs a Windows Service that continues running even when the game is closed?don't want to launch the game to find out for myself in case it's a fucker to uninstall
>>683686142no fucking idea, apparently according to a jap interview on it, on the official epic website (lmao) EOS has great functionality and ease of use.that says a lot about Sony Network, if that is true
>>683686172>everyone who doesn't blindly suck corpo cock and instead riots or complains is a schizo nowWhat does being a schizo even MEAN anymore?Why do you do this to words?
>>683686246I don't give a shit about crossplaying with consolefags, I didn't need them for 4.1 and 5, and I don't need them now
>>683686172Eat shit Tim
>>683686172Yeah Steam cultists are jumping at shadows again. They'll call me a samefag too.
Jesus Christ.So many shills with their whataboutism.I'm not paying. Fuck off.
>>683686172>>takes literally 5 secondsNot buying this turd takes 0 seconds so what's your point?
Damn to think this was avidable if valve wasn't a huge cancer on gaming that stopped making games and doesn't even have any game engines and services running.
>>683686306>simple question: is it true that the game installs a Windows ServiceYes>that continues running even when the game is closed?Not that I saw on my machine, but I kept cancelling the install so that may have had something to do with it. Still put a 300MB program on my PC though.
>>683682951I assume this also blocks online play.
>>683686306i can confirm it does install an epic games service but i can also confirm it stops appropriately when the game exits.
>>683686142D3/Sandlot is too jewish to implement it themselves so they outsourced it to someone else
>>683684668it's written in the HW requirements
>>683686328You do suck blind steam cock.
>>683686172It link your steam account to the EGS, meaning that you actually share everything on your steam account to Timmy regardless of your privacy settings.You're an epic shill, aren't you?

>>683686476Nothing you could say to these fags would ever count.Not a single thing
>>683678621No one's buying EDF6 then xD
>epic gameshow much Chinese spyware does the EDF6 install include now?
>>683678621that's a pretty huge fuckup, especially if they didn't list it on the store page. Fucking dumbasses
>>683686467You are not a volvo shill, are you?
>>683686501There's a disclaimer for those games retard.
>>683686470EOS they try to install doesn't work on linux, so no.
Can someone who already has a game using EOS installed confirm that this shit is just reworded EOS or something more invasive?
>>683686476>the entirety of valveDoes nothing forgames and as this game shows doesn't even provide proper online services.>old fuckinfg asource shitLiterally no one uses that anymore, not even youtubepoopers and porn makers.
Reminder that EDF6 threads on /v/ are currently under attack from a coordinated discord raid (the very same discord that shitposted every single thread about games like Elden Ring, Starfield, and many other notable releases before and well after their release day)Report ALL doomposting, shitposting and other garbage posts in EDF6 threads
>>683686621>>683686610Its literally in the requirements
>>683686651the game only requires the EOS middleware for crossplay, no launcher or Epic account is needed, the game gives you an option to make a pseudo Epic account without a username or email associated with it
I'm really thinking about ditching steam.
>>683686686It's unfortunate that the epic shit gave them such excellent ammo.
>>683686708Delete this
>>683686665Arkham Origins isn't available on Epic Store. I think this should be illegal when it's the best entry in the series.
>>683681609>GFWL doesn't really exist anymore and it was a huge point of contention for Dark Souls and smothered Killer Instinct's PC community in the crib>Rockstar players are normies that will hand out their email willingly to any cashier that asks>Ubisoft players are a lost cause>EGS has a highly antagonistic marketshare growth strategy (that factually isn't growing their marketshare) where they swoop in at the 11th hour and buy up sequels or lower budget highly anticipated launches and lock them in their walled garden>Epic Online Services is just a perfornance tax for lazy devs porting to Steam since it's effectively running Epic (minus storefront/gui resources) and Steam>previous PSN ports lashed to Epic didn't require an account for functional online (Returnal)>The Smelldivers PSN situation was sprung onto people after buying it months after launch so the schizos like me that screech abouthaving to make a new account for every fucking new piece of software you install got burned>after the reviewbombing and mass refunding working, enougu people finally understand they don't need to take this shit quietly anymore and it will effect the company's image enough for policies to be reversedThose are most of the differences I can think of.
>>683686452Why would you say that?I yell at steam every goddamn day for their shit in every update, in every email I can.I don't support any corporation when they're being anti consumer like this.You also didn't answer what the fuck you're doing using schizo to describe people you don't like. Are you trying to make the word meaningless like chud or nazi or pedophile?
>>683686671And yet, EDF 4.1 and 5 worked perfectly fine on steam despite not having Ebin shit.
>>683686520Yeha we've seen your comment on this like 3 times in the thread. here's a (You) for you finally.
>>683686754This, if every game needs to use Epic then may as well use the Epic game store instead of Steam.
>>683686708Wasn't there up until yesterday you gorilla fucking double NIGGERhttps://web.archive.org/web/20240723024627/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2291060/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_6/They hid it away in the worst way possible, other games that use this shit like Dead Island 2 have it clearly stated as a warning on the right hand side of the shop but those sneaky fucking japs thought they could just sneak it in like that
>>683686708>added it afterHOLY SHIT IT IS HELLDIVERS 2 ALL OVER AGAINTHEY'RE ALREADY COVERING IT UP JESUS
>>683686506>>683686635are you shitposting or notthe steam deck is my only computer
Fake newsYou only require an EGS account for CROSSPLAY, since it uses epics crossplay service.You can play the game, even online, with no epic account. OP is a fag.
>>683686930grim
>>683679681you might have a case if it was all positive reviews or somethingit's the same response to both situations. i'll be putting in my negative review despite playing the game and loving it
>>683686708so it is. wouldn't it usually be in this area too though?
>>683686916https://web.archive.org/web/20240724015440/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2291060/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_6/It wasn't there yesterday either. They added it after launch.
>>683679509>Welcome to 4chan. Please log into your Epic account to proceed.
>>683686708>hiding the account requirement in an unrelated hardware section thats way less noticeable than the actual way to list these things in a bright yellow boxextremely dubious and an obvious attempt to hide it
so let me get this right>it has a good reason for it >it's unobtrusive >it's clearly stated in the system requirements >it doesn't need your personal information >it takes 1 click to make an accountWhat's the problem?
>>683685978My god he's so dreamy..
>>683687040EOS is spyware that automatically gets installed when you launch the game

>>683687040>it's clearly stated in the system requirements See>>683686916>>683687003They added it AFTER the game went online. Fucking bullshit.
>>683681354rocket league does
>>683687000Yes, see this exampleThis shit is just snuck in to go all "well technically we did tell you we just hid it away in a part of the page no one will look at :^)"
>>683687040>it's clearly stated in the system requirementsunclearly listed in the wrong section of the store page, which was only added after launch>it doesn't need your personal informationyour email and system info IS personal information, retard
>>683686916>>683687003They just added the disclaimer within the past hour lol. You guys fucked up!
>>683686708They actually tried to cover it kek
>>683686172YOU NEED AN EPIC GAMES ACCOUNT TO PLAYIt says right there.What information does it use to create the account if not the information I type in?
>>683678737>steamieslol lmao
>>683687040Tim make store.Why make store when have Steam?Tim store no good store.No like Tim.
>>683681609we're fucking sick of it and found our collective voice
>>683687040>it's clearly stated in the system requirementsIt wasn't until after release.
>>683686930KekGet fucked
>>683687138>which was only added after launchOkay, so don't preorder games then, retard. How many times do we have to do this song and dance>Oh no they added a disclaimer about denuvo after I bought it!!!!1
>>683687093Yeah I'm thinking steamies lost. Timmy-sama is here to stay.
>This doesnt install the full Epic Store only the EOS middleware to allow crossplay. This is no different than installing any Anti Cheat or whatever other third party middleware almost every steam game comes with.>You dont actually need a full Epic Account. You can create a Pseudo Account with no email, username or any other info tied to it. This is no different from booting up any other online game which creates a database entry to store your profile.>This game only uses EOS because Valve refuses to open up Steamworks for Crossplay purposes so devs either have to cook up their own infrastructure or use EOS.>Plenty of games you probably already play use EOS but just didnt tell you about it. This is the EDF developers being transparent to you while others try to hide it. And you see what being honest leads to. Refer to this List (https://steamdb.info/tech/SDK/EpicOnlineServices/) to see all the Games using EOS including everybodies darlings like Hades, Elden Ring and Risk of Rain 2. So if you play those games but complain here youre being a hypocrite.Seeing all you dumbasses complain here really makes me think you deserve being lied to.
>>683686930OH NO NO NO NO

>>683687093>launches at numbers lower than HD2 post-death
>>683686930The game does not start if you uninstall EOS shit, it forces another install on you. Believe me, I've tried.
>>683683290the timing for this is getting better and betterimagine a one-two punch of "no more additional accounts/launchers with these few exceptions ('MMOs maybe)" and "big punishment for companies over a certain size abandoning early access games like Take Two + KSP2 recently did"
Even a lot of the positive reviews are shitting on the epic thingI went in the other direction, I praised the game as great fun while giving it a negative
>>683687459Yeah, samefagging is just sad.I never heard "steamie" outside this thread.
>>683687384Do you understand what the word "NEED" means?You fucking street shitting JEET.

>I literally have to see communist propaganda against my country in order to play
>>683687430They didn't even do that, they only added it to the specs after launch and they just added it to its usual place on the page like, fifteen minutes ago. No joke.
>>683686708>>683687163These stupid incompetent fucks.
>>683683854this
>>683687521EDF has never been a huge franchise. I bet you don't even know it started as a budget series.

>>683687559Ok but I don't give a shit about EOS itself I'm not one of those muh spyware schizos, I care about the login requirement
>>683687607Valve could definitely push D3 into not requiring an Epic account. 99% of the game's PC sales are going to be through Steam. If Valve insisted they'd do it.Big publishers like Ubisoft or EA or whatever would tell them to fuck off (they already make games exclusives to their launchers anyway), but smaller ones would capitulate.
>>683687739Hitting the button creates a dummy account the same as the other games do in the background. No email no username.
>>683687558you dont need it you stupid fucking niggermonkey, you only require epic to step in for CROSS PLAY because valve refused to add it themselves, blame valve RETARDED NIGGERMANYou can play the game offline or just on PC without epic
>>683687559ER does not install EOS, it uses EOS through the EAC.
>>683687690why are stemies so dishonest and vile?Everyone who bought RL on Steam can still play it on steam, they didnt force you to use EGS
>>683687716>>683687729>no rebuttalI win, you two are retarded niggerfaggots confirmed.
>>683687782>You can play the game offline or just on PC without epicYOU CANNOT START THE FUCKING GAME IF YOU UNINSTALL EOSRETARDED NIGGER PAJEET SHILL
So is it crossplay between PC and Playstation or just crossplay between Steam and Epic?
I'm not going to bitch and moan in reviews and steam discussions and twitter like a chimpanzee. I'm just going to get my money back.
>>683678621How did Tim trick so many nip devs to give half PC exclusivity to Epic?Were they seriously lured in by a jingling bag of money? Are they that stupid?

Let's say a beautiful black woman comes up to you and says "Hey white boy, you look cute. I'll let you have sex with me, but you have to take my panties off first"Would you nerd ass virgins really turn her down because it takes an extra 5 seconds before you get to have sex with her?

>>683688121Yes.
>>683687832yeah but it requires an epic account moron
>>683688129>so now I'm forced to buy it on epic.It's free on Epic

Are steamies to PC gaming what tendies are to switch gaming? As in both are clinically retarded bootlickers?
>>683687904What do you think "unlisted on the Steam store" means?Why are you posting about things you obviously have no idea about?
>>683687272>This game only uses EOS because Valve refuses to open up Steamworks for Crossplay purposesand here it is, greedy Gabe is being greedy for no reason at all once again because free billion he get each month just not enough to satisfy his fat ass
>>683688270I DO NOT WANT CROSSPLAYI DO NOT NEED CROSSPLAYI WANT TO PLAY SINGLE PLAYERI CANNOT PLAY SINGLE PLAYERFUCK YOUKILL YOURSELF
>>683687891Its not just the money, Epic loans devs to help integrate their games into their services or help the devs learn Unreal Engine. Valve developers are unironically too lazy for that kind of work which is why Source 2 never got a public release.
>it only takes 5 minutes to install the spyware>I bet you have some other spyware installed already>it's current year you should just expect this by now>your own government is probably spying on you already so you shouldn't care>ignore the discord doomposters guysIt's amazing how little self-awareness those drones have, you can see right through them lmao
>>683688270Can I play the game without having to install the epic shit?
>>683687978>you can't play rocket league anymore!>you can still play it>but how do you buy it??Stop moving goal posts
/v/: MY OUTRAGE OVER THIS NON ISSUE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH I MUST REEEEEif you use steam, the internet, a phone, a car or ever put your email out there you are a hypocrite for suddenly caring about muh spyware because they took your usage dataYou.. uh, realise you can legally request the data they have on you, and see >its all telemetry
>>683688271>"steamies" are bootlicker for... wanting devs to be transparent and not lie and mislead consumers amazing logic!
>>683688314it only asks for a login when you click multiplayer fucking retard
>retards STILL ignoring the literal lying and coverup they're actively doing in order to argue
Refunded. It's a shame, but they'll probably dial back on this decision later. I'll buy it then.
>>683688271Do you have nothing better to do than post steamies over and over?What are you even doing with your life?

Thirdies and shills seethe at the mere existence of the steamies, ever rapeful and unchanging in their ways
>>683688336What are they "spying" on, schizo-anon?Your usage?Your country?Your hours played?wooooooow such data leakage!oh but amazon literally profiling you is fine, is it?
Why are people so mad at how customers spend (or refund) their money and voice their opinion on a product they bought?
Do y'all use Google? Have an iPhone? Use Facebook/Insta/X? Connect to the internet?Then you already have spyware from your own country.The fact that this bothers you is the height of hypocrisy, but you're too dumb to even realize it.
>>683688260I don't know, I don't own a steam deck.Don't see why it wouldn't work when installed to either.
>>683688414Anon they've included that shit because they were too incompetent to figure out how to do PS4/PS5 crossplay back in the nip release. They won't dial back. It's integral to the game because they were too fucking retarded to figure out basic shit.
>>683687272It's impossible for now anon. This was the perfect ammo for the discord raiders.
>>683688402They're literally editing in the Epic shit after people started reporting them for fraud lolhttp://web.archive.org/web/20240723024627/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2291060/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_6/

Is it true that EDF6 prevents you from going online unless you have an EGS account registered and linked?

>>683688592Not an Epic Game Store account an Epic Online Service account which requires no email.
>>683679468>>683679509>>683679715Epic has the worst fucking account security I've ever seen. The first time I made an account, it got hacked overnight and all info changed so I couldn't even retrieve it.Even random ass websites I logged into with my burner email took at least a year.

>>683689016He's not arguing with you, he's calling you a retard. There's over a dozen posts responding to your shitty attempts at defending Epic and you've ignored almost all of them.

>>683688974no, it actually murders your attempts at booting up the game if you have it preinstalled, you actually have to NOT have the thing so EDF6 can install it and boot up the "lite" version from it. i think sandlot just really didn't think this one through, should've just gave us the JP version without any of this shit.
>>683689071>literally "lalala I'm right Ur wrong!" tier responsesDon't have amazon account btw, but somehow you assumed I'm fine with it so it's all goodWhat a fucking retarded golem lol

>>683678621
You wanna know the biggest difference?EOS does not count towards the same metrics as making an EGS accountSweenie might have made it so a lot of games use EOS, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't also want you to make an EGS account.
>>683689139No it's honestly madness!I really hope everyone involved is atleast paid well for these posts trying to distract everyone from a corporation actually doing something fraudulent in plain sight.
>all of these drones LITERALLY ignoring the actual fraud going on in front of everyoneYou can damage control all you want, I'm not buying this dogshit for 60 USDs after they're pulling shit like that right on the store page
>>683681180>blame valve for ps4/ps5 cross play issues
My refund is pending, any recommendations for what to buy once it's done?I was thinking SMTVV but I feel like that's gonna go on sale again soon.
>>683689339What are you talking about?
>>683684120In this case, yeah it is. Every other game with EOS activates it automatically without you knowing, EDF6 is giving you the choice of activating it. Its letting you make a "dummy account" where the only thing you do is give them a date of birth. But 3 is absolutely bullshit.
>>683689328>>683689339Enjoy not having fun then.Every normal person is having fun with the game.

>>683689378You don't have to buy anything, you could just leave that money aside to either rebuy the game if EOS is removed (unlikely) or pay for your next game or the next sale rather than buying something for the sake of it just because you have money sitting there. Play a game from your library or emulate something. Ever played Soul Nomad?

>>683689034>accuses you of being mentally ill when confrontedThanks, forgot to add that one to the list.
I must have created at least 150 accounts when i went through my trying every new MMO phase when i was in my teens, plus battle.net, steam and all the console accounts.It is actually beyond me why people get so uppity with making accounts these days. People can not buy/play stuff for any reason they like but it seems like such a trivial and inconsequential thing.
>>683689912>but nintendo out of nowhereNo, you are actually mentally ill
>>683689645EAS comes with EOS so it can interact with their servers, you fucking retard.
>>683690048same, do they not understand what a spoof account is?ive never once been hacked or had any "data" leaked from a hack because my accounts were always specific to whatever faggot program I was trying to run needed.
>>683690147IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTEREAS COMES WITH EOS SO ANYONE USING EAS IS PINGING THE EOS SERVERSIT IS NOT THE FUCKING SAME AS WHAT EDF6 IS DOING/DEMANDINGFAGGOT.
>>683690048>I was retarded as a child so why doesn't everyone follow my example
"the Earth Defense Force series historically uses its own proprietary network for online play. This has been fine until recently, but EDF 6, when it first arrived back in 2022, was released for both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5, and the in-house networking system couldn’t handle cross-platform play – it’s just not something that EDF’s bespoke network was designed to do. As such, Sandlot, developer of the Earth Defense Force series, needed an external solution. The studio chose Epic Online Services.">because valve chose not to support crossplay themselvesMeh, anyone complaining is a schizo retard.
>>683686781>previous PSN ports lashed to Epic didn't require an account for functional online (Returnal)You could also cancel its attempt at installing EOS and the game would still boot and you could still use online features but no idea about coop. Leaderboards linked to Steam worked and not once did the game ever bitch about EOS not being installed.As for Elden Ring, if it uses EOS it uses it internally rather than installing it anywhere on your PC aside from Easy Anti-Cheat, which seems to be the case with several games that use EAC and doesn't make a third-party install of EOS to run. You KNOW when EOS is being installed because it will literally pop-up during your install of whichever game requires it (or in Returnal's case, actually doesn't require it) and you can manually cancel said install but games might not work ala EDF6 if you do.

>>683687714Crossplay
>>683690346my opinion on that is i do not care at all if they forgot or ''''forgot'''' to mention you need to sign in or create an epic account because of how trivial it is.
>>683687272How much they pay you over at Epic? 20 dollars a day in iTunes gift cards?
>>683690527But that's illegal and called fraud so it's very much not trivial
