Stop mass consuming. Buy 1 game at a time then play it then when you're done go buy another one. You fell for the merchant tricks of buying so many games at once you feel overwhelmed and proceed to never play most. Literally wasting cash.
>Epic Games are still in the process of getting their store and launcher hooked up with features you're used to from that other big digital games store. Next week they're adding one you might have been waiting for. Naw, it isn't the shopping cart. Not quite yet, anyway.

>Elsewhere in Epic features, they've recently announced plans to test Steam Direct-like self-publishing tools for developers.
achievements are soulful and I love them. I also like seeing the percentage of the community that got each achievement, it makes the game more fun to me. I hope Nintendo adds them
Based anon. I am 35 yo, never needed achievements back before 360 added them, but goddamn do I love them now. Retro achievements is the reason I will buy a steam deck. Even more reason to own even with a comfy launch switch
the problem with steam achievements and why i dont care about them when i did like playstation trophies and xbox achievements is that theres no incentive. and valve is okay with people using cheating software to unlock them. theres just no point.
so this already looks better with some sort of xp system
There's literally never any point to them.
Only UPlay made them worth something because some of them could give you points that could trade coupons to buy new games in the store.
But that also gave russian hackers infinitely more incentive to try to hack everyone's account and steal those coupons.
Tim is just a petty autismo.
You can bet your ass there is some still passionate programmer at Epic, ready implement a basic shopping cart that is already complete into the store, but Tim forbids him.
>EGS added wishlists in march 2020
There you go, you shit sipping egs simp. You'd think you would give the counter info instead of "muh steamies" but here i am doing it for you. fricking ungrateful zoomer shills
They give away these £10 off coupons during sales and a bunch of games are below the required price threshold to qualify for coupons, but if they added a cart you could add a cheap game to get over the threshold so they probably don't want that.
Wow, and this is on top of the shopping cart and user review system that are surely already in place?
Those are there, right?
There's no way that EGS still doesn't have these incredibly basic things, is there?
Just to be contrarian, I'm hunting for the platinum in at least one game. I haven't got a 100% achievement completion for any game on Xbox, PS3, PS4 or Steam/Gog. I am going to take achievement hunting on the EGS 100% seriously.
Why? I really dont understand this stance. They dont detract from anything, no one takes them as some sort of barometer any more and they add a very tiny amount of extra content. They are harmless. Unless your issue is with morons who go out of their way to collect them and plaster them all over their steam profile? In that case the still let you know who online is moronic and should be avoided.

And hey, those streetshitters have to pay fees to shit somewhere other than on the designated street because they're still afraid of toilet witch.
why would you buy a game on egs when the sales guarantee means the developer sees no extra money from it
literally throwing money away when this one's on tim

Steam > Piracy > GOG >>>>>>>> EGS.
Steam is objectively the best platform in the industry (Including consoles), offering the best features and even supporting non-steam/pirated games. There is simply no competition.
Piracy just gets you the game with no additional features for free >GOG just gets you the game with no additional features for a price >Unless the game is exclusive to EGS, or free on EGS, there is no reason to buy something on EGS over Steam / pirating it >When the majority of sales are coming from such a narrow area of the market, you're fricked
You're literally getting less for your money by not getting access to Steam's colosal featureset

>xp
We better be able to cash those in for something, Tim.
Is there a shopping cart yet?
no lmao
The nintendo eshop doesn't have one yet I don't see you gays b***hing at nintendo to add one
I hacked my Switch so I have no need of it
only subhumans use Nintendo though
>This other service sucks so it's fine if another one does
Stop mass consuming. Buy 1 game at a time then play it then when you're done go buy another one. You fell for the merchant tricks of buying so many games at once you feel overwhelmed and proceed to never play most. Literally wasting cash.
the lack of shopping cart is LITERALLY a merchant trick because it gives you less chance to reconsider your purchase
Stop relying on a shopping cart to deal with your bad choices.
>defending merchant tricks
its a planned feature
>WOAH I CAN'T WAIT TO GRAB THEM CHEEVOS!!!!!!!!!!

We are never getting our shopping cart

the absolute state of this board
where's the cart, timmy?
the problem with steam achievements and why i dont care about them when i did like playstation trophies and xbox achievements is that theres no incentive. and valve is okay with people using cheating software to unlock them. theres just no point.
so this already looks better with some sort of xp system
>theres just no point
like finishing a game? the act of hunting them is supposed to be the fun
whats the incentive for platinum trophies?
can be used to attract females
There's literally never any point to them.
Only UPlay made them worth something because some of them could give you points that could trade coupons to buy new games in the store.
But that also gave russian hackers infinitely more incentive to try to hack everyone's account and steal those coupons.
I may consider buying something from them when they add user reviews.
Achievements are important for me, still waiting for Nintendo to add them to the switch.
>years later
>no shopping cart
>achievements just now
>no wish list
Seriously what is there excuse? This is just embarrassing
Tim is just a petty autismo.
You can bet your ass there is some still passionate programmer at Epic, ready implement a basic shopping cart that is already complete into the store, but Tim forbids him.
>>>no wish list
Angry steam tard doesn't fact check. Not surprising.

There you go, you shit sipping egs simp. You'd think you would give the counter info instead of "muh steamies" but here i am doing it for you. fricking ungrateful zoomer shills

Boomer moment
wait, seriously there's still no shopping cart?
Is this just Tim being a petulant child and doing this out of spite now?
They give away these £10 off coupons during sales and a bunch of games are below the required price threshold to qualify for coupons, but if they added a cart you could add a cheap game to get over the threshold so they probably don't want that.
it's to encourage more impulse buying, he admitted it himself
Are...are they pretending or really out of touch with reality?
FOR USING EPIC STORE
WHEN ITS JUST AS RIDDLED WITH BULLSHIT
AS STEAM
Wow, and this is on top of the shopping cart and user review system that are surely already in place?
Those are there, right?

For fricks sake Timmy PLEASE get your shit together
achievements are a really shitty part of modern gaming.
Why? I really dont understand this stance. They dont detract from anything, no one takes them as some sort of barometer any more and they add a very tiny amount of extra content. They are harmless. Unless your issue is with morons who go out of their way to collect them and plaster them all over their steam profile? In that case the still let you know who online is moronic and should be avoided.
>egs gets achievements
>switch still doesn't have them
nincels will defend this
Achievements are shit, just play the fricking game
>Playing modern ninty games
I play old, classic games and they do have achievements, no thanks to nintendo themselves tho
I'm pretty sure I played games that had achievements.
They just weren't networked to some form of pointless social media.
I thought EGS was good because it didn't have all this "bloat"
>when steam does this it's a bloat
>when egs does this it's the second coming of christ
Here, I've just described the whole shilling motto of epic pajeetshills. No need to thank me.
is there a store search bar yet?
>BROOO ACHIEVOS AAAAAAAAAAAAA 360 FEATURES ARE FINALLY HERE BOOOYY
are there gift cards yet?
MA'AM
don't care, still pirating all epic exclusive games. I might buy darkest dungeon 2 when it comes to steam, if I'm still playing it by that time.
Have 100% of the games they gave away and only played subnautica, the first one
Another shitty addition to gaming that microsoft created. The industry would have been so much better with microsoft sticking their money into it.
The EGS shills are going all out today again huh?
they're really hurting over losing...Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires?

@573300025
why would you buy a game on egs when the sales guarantee means the developer sees no extra money from it
literally throwing money away when this one's on tim
Achievements are fricking worthless normally but even more worthless on PC where anyone can just hack them.
Weren't the EGS shills whining that achievements among other things were just useless social media garbage that Steam used?
Yes.
Yes. But just like Tim's mindset: it's ok when epic does it.
