Thanks for watching everyone! What are your thoughts on the Epic Games Store allowing crypto games? Also, should I continue playing these until I've played all 20? They can't ALL be this bad.... right???
Imagine cherry picking the worst of all games and characterising all games using blockchain as this quality of an experience. I guess it's good for growing your channel and feeding the dumb sheep the reeeeeee that makes you cash. Smart boy.
The good thing is, I could totally say I have 18 years of game development experience. Because it was that long ago when I started doing bad games in RPG Maker. And according to these crypto shells, that is enough. Oh, but I also have experience with more recent games.I made a mod that renames one NPC in New Vegas. I've also drawn stick figures. I might not have for worked as janitor at Google or as toilet cleaner at Blizzard, but with all that I am clearly very experienced as game designer, coder, and art director and all the crypto companies should hire me instantly. And in true crypto NFT logic, I will take the money and offer no guarantees of any ROI. They can buy my employeeship, and for 3 months wages in advance I will send them a photo of a word document on my screen, but if and when I release any content is up to me and I can change the plan at any time without prior notice.

Crypto/NFT games are so confusing, the developers want it and crypto/NFT to be taken seriously, but then they make a crappy product that only makes the entire situation worse
That's the trick... they don't actually intend to build an actually good ecosystem where people actually want to use crypto. They want to pull a get rich quick scheme, which takes far less effort.
it's kinda like crypto bros saying that crypto currencies are the future while destabilising them so much with speculative investment that it's entirely impractical to use crypto currency as an actual currency outside of niche circumstances like buying illegal goods.
Well… technically… they’re not selling it because they force you to go to the developer website if you want to participate in any of the blockchain crap. So it’s even worse, “we will lead you to the bad stuff but we are closing our eyes when you do it so we don’t have to be responsible”
@@MurrmorMeerkatto be fair, I don’t think anyone from steam has explicitly stated that they will not sell crappy games. Besides, steam has a much better refund policy, so the presence of truly awful games can be tolerated imo.
Hold on the ESRB actually rates these games as appropriately Ao unlike so many other games that should be too. I am still amazed that they actually bothered to be ESRB rated. Must be something that Epic requires.
Interestingly, none of these games show up on the ESRB website, which according to a brief search means that they were rated using the ESRB's self-service form, which is only applicable for digital-only games. But like I joked about in the video, none of these games actually verify anyone's age since all purchases are done off of the Epic Games Store, so children could very much be "investing" in these NFTs with mom's credit card. And of course, since they're NFTs, they're 100% nonrefundable. Seems like a potential legal / ethical issue, but I'm no lawyer.
I always wondered what it would take to make a game Adults Only. Even games with video of IRL strippers (BMX XXX) and games that have you commit terrorist attacks (Call of Duty) are rated Mature
@@Nathan_ColeyI mean what are they supposed to do? A credit card of an 18+ person was used. you can't really sue them for that unless it's clear the games were marketed at children (hell I don't recall if AO games are even illegal to sell to children, it's mostly just a store policy thing if memory serves.)
@@mattdeaver6850 basically if it has graphic sex it would go under AO, or something like photorealistic gore. CoD is extremely cartoony compared to real war. iirc, they made san andreas AO when that hot coffee thing was found, which was one hidden scene showing sex in... mf gta san andreas, lmfao. That put it over the edge from M to AO. Then they fixed it so they could sell it again. it is completely arbitrary and it may as well be a cabal of shadowy individuals who decide these things, just like with film ratings. iirc the ESRB is staffed by mostly i was interested so i read a bit more and it seems almost entirely just them being prudish with more explicit sexual content, with games traditionally being for kids by standards some decades back. I forgot that game Hatred got an AO rating, but it wasn't even graphic, it was entirely stylized. You gun down police and civilians way more graphically in GTA or many other games, but I guess that the theme of Hatred (its mostly just gratuitous mass murdering) is what mattered more there. Was an interesting time when that happened, I do remember it since I didn't like the game much. In retrospect the art direction was very good.
The “Players should do their own research first” quip seems like the digital equivalent of cancer warnings on cigarettes. Epic for sure knows they’re peddling trash
For the first game. The Tab to open menu thing might be from the development, by default, the unreal editor uses the ESC key to end debug sessions, so you can't really open menus with ESC, while running debug instances of the game. They might have used Tab to get around this, but not taking into mind that unreal only restricts the ESC in debug sessions, and not final builds.
Honestly, stuff like this gives me hope. I quite like the idea of developing a game, I have very little experience or knowledge, but I already know that, if nothing else, I'm going to put more actual *care* into anything I make than these guys ever have or ever will.
I guess some crypto games can be good sometimes. Most of the time, they're just put together with a bunch of assets that have very little to do with the game itself. If the games didn't look so lazily made, I'm sure people would care a bit more. But majority seem to use it for business marketing and it shows.
@@nardalis4832There's no real reason to use the blockchain in a game except for expecting profits. You can have good games despite them being crypto but there's no chance of them being better because of it. Which is why any marginally good dev ends up not using blockchain technology and opting for one of the objectively better alternatives instead. Even some self-called crypto games choose to do this.
The video memory message is because they have the max memory configured too low. They just need to add a zero to the end of a number in an ini file somewhere.
It's almost as if the people who are more motivated by money than anything else don't understand the fun of video games. Gosh, what a surprise...except not because Ubisoft, EA, et al have been proving that for years.
Except that ea and ubisoft games, while filled with garbage microtransactions, can still be fun games (like battlefield) Comparing nft games to them is an insult
@@FTZPLTC I imagined the same but with Dionysus! I also got an idea for an egocentric superhero who thinks he's the shit (and actually is super strong, but people hate him regardless) and I'm gonna make him one of the main villains in one of my stories.
There was actually a different game under that name on Steam. A real one. No crypto, no NFTs, no nothing. It was an FPS roguelike, and actually... you know... could be played. I'd recommend to check it out, but it's been taken off Steam for some reason, so I can't actually do that, and the steam key resale sites are putting it at a price that I think is a bit much. But it did exist, this garbage wasn't the first game to use that name.
Gotta respect Striker Manager's devs for not making it intrusive or an absolute requirement. I think it's kinda smart that they added NFT payments 'cause it taps into an overenthusiastic market obsessed with spending money
@@fynkozari9271 how would they know better? It was a brand new thing. Assuming it way your familys first one. My mom was so happy when pc died after 10 years and i had to go out socialise. 2 years later i was a ragging alchoholic. lmao
@@prdiludi4432 Damn.. Nowadays we spread covid and kill the society in the process. Cant confirm, no experience with covid. My pc is 6 years old, 2 months later mobo bricked by windows 10 update
As a game developer, I think I speak for almost all indies when I say that we were hopeful for the return of quality control when Epic Games announced self publishing. Turns out it's by far the worst in the market. I've given up on porting my game as they're refusing to approve it without achievements (Because it has achievements on Steam), and the SDK is so convoluted and unsupported that I just cannot get it to work on Unity. I found a handful of articles on the forums, and it takes the staff upwards of a month to respond to requests. What a rubbish platform.
lol that "video memory exhausted" message is in the debug console, meaning that the devs either forgot to disable said debug console in the release or are so incompetent they have no idea how to do so.
These are some of my favorite videos at the moment. The idea of people being so stupid that they just burn money to "invest" in video games is hilarious. I'm not saying I'm perfect, and I've burnt through a lot of money in games, but I did it knowing I'd never get that money back. To see people doing the same but thinking they will get an investment or something out of it makes me laugh.
@@sometf2player752 They’ve sorta detached themselves from the reality of value: which is that it is in the stuff we actually make and do, and money is just a tool to quantify and transfer it. The belief that money contains its own inherent value is fundamental to crypto/NFT investing (the profit totally comes from magic investing powers, not lying, cheating, and stealing). And of course, it leads to a game design philosophy of “Fun, story, and functional gameplay might be cool to have, but they just aren’t appreciating assets. By removing and replacing them with the most predatory monetization scheme ever devised, the game is far more valuable.”
@@sometf2player752 It's literally all speculation. The whole idea of blockchain being the "future" is literally just a marketing term to push their shit onwards to the bigger fool. One great big Ponzi scheme dragging every artistic medium down with it, or at least trying.

most of these dino-dash assets appear to be a collection of the free and sponsored assets... and polygod looks like they started with the free rts template and didnt do much else to it... so the NFT and asset-flipping bedfellows continue
crypto bros have essentially pissed off every umbrella term based community im in, I am an artist, I am a gamer, and I am British (yeah the british museum had a sign stating that they didn’t like nfts lol) oh also I find it kinda funny how crypto bros always say that nfts will make them rich but cant even afford a good dev team, and if they can they likely dont see their importance or the dev teams just don’t want to work for them
DinoDash, taking what BallisticNG did right and making it shit. Like, the control scheme is ALMOST the same as BallisticNG, which is basically Wipeout 3 on PC. With mod support, good music, an artstyle, actual game design and all made by a single man.
Good video! I think it smells like desperation that Epic Games has opened up for this crap. Not to say Steam's quality control is top-notch, but at least they have the good taste to stay away from NFT games. Given how many people intensely dislike Epic Store (unfounded, in my humble opinion), I feel that Epic Games can't afford losing more PR for attaching their name to NFT's. What a shame.
I would love to like the epic games store. but I have had the worst experiences in my short times looking at it. the fact that they have billions of dollars from fortnite and took years to implement simple features many of which they actually still dont have is ridiculous and hilariously confusing to me. also they will never be able to take back all the bait and switch "oh its epic exclusive for a year lol" buyouts they did. That will always taint their reputation I think. especially on the games that were already coming to steam. Which lead to me not playing them because I could not stand the epic games store's absolute garbage design. Its still not even good.
It wouldnt have been so bad if the Epic Games Store tried to be actual competition to steam. But its not, they were trying to steal products meant to release on steam away with all their damn exclusivity deals, even back when the storepage for Epic was absolute garbage. They arent trying to be a BETTER service, they're trying to be the ONLY service. Or, were, idk if old boy Timmy gave that up or not. He was trying to crush steam under his miniscule boot. To say the distaste for Epic is well and truly justified is an understatement. Not to mention the whole drama of putting games up for sale without warning or consent by the developers of said games.
Who cares about steam marketplace items though. They can be safely ignored 95% of the time. If they are encorparated into the actual game that's when I have a problem with it.
Striker Manager seems like a really good one provided that the players can gain skill by just training, diet and playing matches. Not just by buying upgrades for them. So some gamers could specialise in training players, or owning stadiums for and charge others to play there, or maybe design and sell uniforms. All of these tweaks maybe tying into crowd reaction and support which then gives some advantage over teams in a match. But if it’s just pay to win, then it’s trash and pointless.
You're the only person I know of actually trying to play these games. Your reviews are interesting! The Epic Games store is an actual platform, so you'd think it'd be the "steel man" argument for crypto games.
Hence why "steelmanning" is a poor way to make an argument! Just cause Epic has crypto games does not mean crypto games are good or not a scam, it just means Epic wants money at any cost! And thanks for the words of encouragement! I try my best to do something that other channels aren't
@@jauwn What I meant was that you'd expect Epic Games to represent the best possible crypto games, or the Steel man, vs some no name website which would be a straw man argument. I definitely enjoy your videos! Actually trying to play the games is so rare and really interesting. Zero Punctuation/The Escapist started running adds for Robot Cache, a block chain way to resell your games. From the 5 minutes I looked into it, I got a weird vibe. Could you look into it more?
Someone told me to look into it already... not sure if that was you or someone else... but I was actually just digging into it tonight. It's really weird and I want to cover it, gonna need to buy a game on the platform first though. Expect something on it some time in August or September, gotta work it into the schedule lol
Been loving your videos the past few days and I couldnt' believe it when, before watching this video, an advert for "The Sandbox" came up at the start. The advert even talks about the great voxel style they have going XD
A game where the game store hosting it has to attach a 10 paragraph disclaimer basically saying, "Don't trust these developers or the in--game 'currency' they're peddling, and we're slapping it with an AO rating because of it's predatory nature" ... Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg
That "please be advised" box @ 2:05 has all the same energy as a cryptobro saying "not a financial advisor, not financial advice" immediately before trying to convince you to buy their scam token. It will be interesting to see how long Epic can go before someone who gets scammed by one of these crypto game "developers" (I use the term loosely) includes Epic Games as a defendant in a lawsuit.
For the football game I'd imagine the nft push was to basically allow higher dlc prices because you could essentially spend money to make money. Seeing players get sold for 750 dollars really demands you to try to make sense of it. It's enough to make the Dead or Alive publishers blush.
@@NisseDoodbut the gacha devs are smarter You get more money bleeding folks with lots of small transactions (only 10 dollars to roll that banner again...) Than sitting and hoping someone will do a big purchase of hundreds of dollars
Honestly, I feel like a football management sim is a good choice to make crypto based, as I think most crypto fans are not big into video games but watching football might be something they do enjoy.
Some of the largest and most consistent purchases of games are just sports games, beating even FPS games, so putting NFTs and making it apart of the core experience would be a very easy to sucker more people into the NFT experience.
The most interesting things about videos like these is not the bad games themselves, but the dozens of different ways they can fail. And some of the covers on the store page look... competent? Or at least not creatively bankrupt. I think there is still some ground left to cover.
Really glad that sidalpha brang me to you, love your videos! Keep them up, and dive as far in as you can before you lose your mind at the idioticy of people falling for the scams xD
Actually kinda stunned just how bad those first two games are. I wonder what the Epic NFT game manager is thinking approving this shit. I guess every nft game with even a modicum of effort is on gala
Love your videos on these games. It's all coming full circle. The oversaturation of quick cash grab games led to the collapse of the western games industry in the 80s. It's why companies decided to make their own consoles; so you'd have to get their "Seal of Quality" label to their games, so that people would buy/play their games. Video game companies had to regain the trust of consumers. You'd still get duds. Many times you'd buy the disk/floppy/cartridge, and the hardware would've been internally damaged and or bent, and that was your money gone. No bug patches. IF the games worked, it was probably some buggy mess that did had not way of telling the player the objective of the game. I was so glad for local Mom and Pop shops where you could rent games and movies; that's where you could go wild, and find the better games. Usually the games all the other kids a school were talking about. Getting a hold of games was more difficult, getting a working game was a blessing, but good, working, fun, games seem to always be rare. Or just go to your friend's house who always had all the games, and play there ( I miss split screen multiplayer ). All these cash grab games today, feel like a magnified version of what happened in the 1980s. It's so weird, it's like everyone forgets things collectively, or we've just been conditioned to expect everything to be a boring/buggy cash grab (Sturgeon's Law). I do like that digital games stores do refunds, LOL.
They prolly use TAB for menu cause if you use ESC in Unreal Engine Developments it just exits, which I also do in testing but ya I change it to esc on packing.
Dino dash looks like a student project, not in a bad way, just needs more work. But take out the no-freaking-tokens. *Edit* Well, okay, it needs a lot of work. Sadly, I have seen worse on Steam.
The AO rating for these games is actually really cool. IF they had physical copies I'd love to snag some for my collection as the AO tag is super unique
I’m glad to see a video on this tbh cause like I was so sad to see a bunch of cute game sim the epic games store…before finding out they’re just nft based. It’s so freaking annoying.
If you think any of that is bad, I heard these games use your computer's resources to help them mine. Would probably explain the game that blanked out the screen for 30 seconds before it loaded.
I didn't really know about other game buying platforms other than Steam as I don't play on PC often... Now I know that Steam is one of the only platforms worth buying from.
Epic has been around for a while but they still haven't figured out how to gift games to other people. The friends I do play with only have Epic installed just long enough to play whatever multiplayer game we have in mind and then everyone just uninstalls it until it's needed again. It's a competitor to Steam. Just not a very good one.
epic has good games and its not a bad platform. but it lacks features that could really bring it to the next level. i often only go on there for the free game rotations and rocket league
You made me want to try to have a good laugh at NFT games from epic game and installed Celestia Ultima which greated me with half XBOX / half Game Cube buttons and crashed as soon as I pressed anything on my keyboard.
I don't like the idea of crypto outside of games, let alone inside them. If my extra compute is going to be siphoned off. I want it to go into protein folding or SETI. Not fakebux.
Hi! Random guy here, stumbled on one or your videos on accident by RUclips recs - love the vids, the rugpulls not so much :( You also have a soothing voice, if you read any ebooks or have more narration vidoes on the side, I'll gladly watch them all 🙏
The odd control scheme for Dino Dash is similar to other anti-gravity racing games, and is derived from the control scheme for WipEout, a ps1 game from 1995. The extra turning controls are usually called airbrakes and are used to turn sharply at the expense of speed or to bank slightly to aim your ship.
I will never understand the mentality of "Play the game to make money". I'm sorry but the last thing I'm thinking of when I'm getting Raiden's face pulverized by Senator Armstrong's cinder-block like fists is "Golly Gee, I can't wait to use the money I make off of this to pay my student loans!" Shouldn't people be playing game because... I dunno, because they're fun games?
If Dinodash is so rare that cow isn’t born yet, is Polygod so rare that mother of cow isn’t born yet? Are those "games" which have only nfts, not gameplay, like mother of cow never existed?
The way I heard it, Tim was against NFTs and blockchain until steam decided to completely ban them. He really just has a hate boner against Gaben and his platform. Also remember when he used to bash steam's lack of quality control? Oh how the tables have turned...
i think we all know there is no "diamond" at the bottom. I wish platforms would atleast set up some rules for what can be called alpha, beta, fully featured etc. on their own store.
How do you make a game with like 50 assets on screen take over 8gb of vram? I have poked around with game design but not looked into optimisation yet. Is this a common pitfall? I thought the game engine would usually handle stuff for you.
Someone else left a comment saying that it might just be that the devs forgot to change the warning threshold so the threshold might just be 0 MB for example and therefore it always throws a warning
@@jauwn Aaah that makes a lot of sense. I'm a total amateur and setting the warning threshold to zero to get an idea of what it's using is something I'd do because I dont understand how to use the engine diagnostic tools very well.
I don't gamble on anything more than the occasional $2 lottery scratch off when leaving the grocery store because why not? But if YOU want to loose your shorts gambling, or playing these stupid "block chain" games, then go for it. But keep it the hell out of my damn video games and go off and setup your own storefront for this garbage.

@@jauwn Agreed sounds like a legal nightmare waiting to happen.
I always wondered what it would take to make a game Adults Only.
Even games with video of IRL strippers (BMX XXX) and games that have you commit terrorist attacks (Call of Duty) are rated Mature
@@Nathan_ColeyI mean what are they supposed to do? A credit card of an 18+ person was used. you can't really sue them for that unless it's clear the games were marketed at children (hell I don't recall if AO games are even illegal to sell to children, it's mostly just a store policy thing if memory serves.)
@@mattdeaver6850 basically if it has graphic sex it would go under AO, or something like photorealistic gore. CoD is extremely cartoony compared to real war.
iirc, they made san andreas AO when that hot coffee thing was found, which was one hidden scene showing sex in... mf gta san andreas, lmfao. That put it over the edge from M to AO. Then they fixed it so they could sell it again. it is completely arbitrary and it may as well be a cabal of shadowy individuals who decide these things, just like with film ratings. iirc the ESRB is staffed by mostly
i was interested so i read a bit more and it seems almost entirely just them being prudish with more explicit sexual content, with games traditionally being for kids by standards some decades back. I forgot that game Hatred got an AO rating, but it wasn't even graphic, it was entirely stylized. You gun down police and civilians way more graphically in GTA or many other games, but I guess that the theme of Hatred (its mostly just gratuitous mass murdering) is what mattered more there. Was an interesting time when that happened, I do remember it since I didn't like the game much. In retrospect the art direction was very good.
The “Players should do their own research first” quip seems like the digital equivalent of cancer warnings on cigarettes. Epic for sure knows they’re peddling trash
For the first game.
The Tab to open menu thing might be from the development, by default, the unreal editor uses the ESC key to end debug sessions, so you can't really open menus with ESC, while running debug instances of the game. They might have used Tab to get around this, but not taking into mind that unreal only restricts the ESC in debug sessions, and not final builds.
Haha that’s a very keen observation and I bet you’re right! Just shows how unfinished this game is, never should have been made public this early.
@@jauwn This early, or ever at all.
Yeah, you could just rebind the button in the editor.
Honestly, stuff like this gives me hope. I quite like the idea of developing a game, I have very little experience or knowledge, but I already know that, if nothing else, I'm going to put more actual *care* into anything I make than these guys ever have or ever will.
I guess some crypto games can be good sometimes. Most of the time, they're just put together with a bunch of assets that have very little to do with the game itself. If the games didn't look so lazily made, I'm sure people would care a bit more. But majority seem to use it for business marketing and it shows.
As a gamedev I guarantee you that whatever you make as your very first game will be at least twice as good as these NFT games.
@@nardalis4832There's no real reason to use the blockchain in a game except for expecting profits. You can have good games despite them being crypto but there's no chance of them being better because of it. Which is why any marginally good dev ends up not using blockchain technology and opting for one of the objectively better alternatives instead. Even some self-called crypto games choose to do this.

The video memory message is because they have the max memory configured too low. They just need to add a zero to the end of a number in an ini file somewhere.

It's almost as if the people who are more motivated by money than anything else don't understand the fun of video games. Gosh, what a surprise...except not because Ubisoft, EA, et al have been proving that for years.
And yet people are still buying and pre-ordering their stuff. They aren't the only problem.

There was actually a different game under that name on Steam. A real one. No crypto, no NFTs, no nothing. It was an FPS roguelike, and actually... you know... could be played.
I'd recommend to check it out, but it's been taken off Steam for some reason, so I can't actually do that, and the steam key resale sites are putting it at a price that I think is a bit much. But it did exist, this garbage wasn't the first game to use that name.
@@FTZPLTC Man, I would play the hell out of that.
Gotta respect Striker Manager's devs for not making it intrusive or an absolute requirement. I think it's kinda smart that they added NFT payments 'cause it taps into an overenthusiastic market obsessed with spending money

yeah the difference is they're not a blockchain group they are just a normal mobile game dev

As a game developer, I think I speak for almost all indies when I say that we were hopeful for the return of quality control when Epic Games announced self publishing. Turns out it's by far the worst in the market. I've given up on porting my game as they're refusing to approve it without achievements (Because it has achievements on Steam), and the SDK is so convoluted and unsupported that I just cannot get it to work on Unity. I found a handful of articles on the forums, and it takes the staff upwards of a month to respond to requests. What a rubbish platform.
No one uses epic anyways unless they're forced too
lol that "video memory exhausted" message is in the debug console, meaning that the devs either forgot to disable said debug console in the release or are so incompetent they have no idea how to do so.
These are some of my favorite videos at the moment. The idea of people being so stupid that they just burn money to "invest" in video games is hilarious. I'm not saying I'm perfect, and I've burnt through a lot of money in games, but I did it knowing I'd never get that money back. To see people doing the same but thinking they will get an investment or something out of it makes me laugh.

@@sometf2player752 They’ve sorta detached themselves from the reality of value: which is that it is in the stuff we actually make and do, and money is just a tool to quantify and transfer it. The belief that money contains its own inherent value is fundamental to crypto/NFT investing (the profit totally comes from magic investing powers, not lying, cheating, and stealing).
And of course, it leads to a game design philosophy of “Fun, story, and functional gameplay might be cool to have, but they just aren’t appreciating assets. By removing and replacing them with the most predatory monetization scheme ever devised, the game is far more valuable.”

Like, the control scheme is ALMOST the same as BallisticNG, which is basically Wipeout 3 on PC.

Good video! I think it smells like desperation that Epic Games has opened up for this crap. Not to say Steam's quality control is top-notch, but at least they have the good taste to stay away from NFT games. Given how many people intensely dislike Epic Store (unfounded, in my humble opinion), I feel that Epic Games can't afford losing more PR for attaching their name to NFT's. What a shame.
I would love to like the epic games store. but I have had the worst experiences in my short times looking at it. the fact that they have billions of dollars from fortnite and took years to implement simple features many of which they actually still dont have is ridiculous and hilariously confusing to me.
also they will never be able to take back all the bait and switch "oh its epic exclusive for a year lol" buyouts they did. That will always taint their reputation I think. especially on the games that were already coming to steam. Which lead to me not playing them because I could not stand the epic games store's absolute garbage design. Its still not even good.
It wouldnt have been so bad if the Epic Games Store tried to be actual competition to steam. But its not, they were trying to steal products meant to release on steam away with all their damn exclusivity deals, even back when the storepage for Epic was absolute garbage. They arent trying to be a BETTER service, they're trying to be the ONLY service. Or, were, idk if old boy Timmy gave that up or not. He was trying to crush steam under his miniscule boot. To say the distaste for Epic is well and truly justified is an understatement. Not to mention the whole drama of putting games up for sale without warning or consent by the developers of said games.
guys remember it took the epic games store a few years to add a shopping cart
yes thats right just a shopping cart
It's not really unfounded. I dislike Epic's practices like buying game exclusivity.
The epic launcher straight up just doesn't work for me. I have dozens of games I got for free that I can't even play.
These games are always in beta stage or eraly access but already selling NFTs.
really shows where their priority is
The integration of NFTs to most games is usually no different than like, Steam marketplace items, except worse.
FAR worse.
MUCH more expensive
Who cares about steam marketplace items though. They can be safely ignored 95% of the time. If they are encorparated into the actual game that's when I have a problem with it.
Striker Manager seems like a really good one provided that the players can gain skill by just training, diet and playing matches. Not just by buying upgrades for them. So some gamers could specialise in training players, or owning stadiums for and charge others to play there, or maybe design and sell uniforms. All of these tweaks maybe tying into crowd reaction and support which then gives some advantage over teams in a match.
But if it’s just pay to win, then it’s trash and pointless.
You're the only person I know of actually trying to play these games. Your reviews are interesting! The Epic Games store is an actual platform, so you'd think it'd be the "steel man" argument for crypto games.
Hence why "steelmanning" is a poor way to make an argument! Just cause Epic has crypto games does not mean crypto games are good or not a scam, it just means Epic wants money at any cost!
And thanks for the words of encouragement! I try my best to do something that other channels aren't

A game where the game store hosting it has to attach a 10 paragraph disclaimer basically saying, "Don't trust these developers or the in--game 'currency' they're peddling, and we're slapping it with an AO rating because of it's predatory nature"
... Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg
“If this game was a steak, it would be so raw that the cow hasn’t even been born yet” This had me cackling 🤣🤣🤣
That "please be advised" box @ 2:05 has all the same energy as a cryptobro saying "not a financial advisor, not financial advice" immediately before trying to convince you to buy their scam token. It will be interesting to see how long Epic can go before someone who gets scammed by one of these crypto game "developers" (I use the term loosely) includes Epic Games as a defendant in a lawsuit.
As a game dev graduate from full sail this looks about right for what the course teaches
For the football game I'd imagine the nft push was to basically allow higher dlc prices because you could essentially spend money to make money. Seeing players get sold for 750 dollars really demands you to try to make sense of it.
It's enough to make the Dead or Alive publishers blush.

Most games with a pity system have it at around 100 rolls.
Honestly, I feel like a football management sim is a good choice to make crypto based, as I think most crypto fans are not big into video games but watching football might be something they do enjoy.
And as gambling addicts the concept of sports betting should be familiar to them.
Some of the largest and most consistent purchases of games are just sports games, beating even FPS games, so putting NFTs and making it apart of the core experience would be a very easy to sucker more people into the NFT experience.
Sports games have the most casual audience and crypto has almost no audience so it’s a good fit

Love your videos on these games. It's all coming full circle. The oversaturation of quick cash grab games led to the collapse of the western games industry in the 80s. It's why companies decided to make their own consoles; so you'd have to get their "Seal of Quality" label to their games, so that people would buy/play their games. Video game companies had to regain the trust of consumers. You'd still get duds. Many times you'd buy the disk/floppy/cartridge, and the hardware would've been internally damaged and or bent, and that was your money gone. No bug patches. IF the games worked, it was probably some buggy mess that did had not way of telling the player the objective of the game. I was so glad for local Mom and Pop shops where you could rent games and movies; that's where you could go wild, and find the better games. Usually the games all the other kids a school were talking about. Getting a hold of games was more difficult, getting a working game was a blessing, but good, working, fun, games seem to always be rare. Or just go to your friend's house who always had all the games, and play there ( I miss split screen multiplayer ). All these cash grab games today, feel like a magnified version of what happened in the 1980s. It's so weird, it's like everyone forgets things collectively, or we've just been conditioned to expect everything to be a boring/buggy cash grab (Sturgeon's Law). I do like that digital games stores do refunds, LOL.
They prolly use TAB for menu cause if you use ESC in Unreal Engine Developments it just exits, which I also do in testing but ya I change it to esc on packing.

If you think any of that is bad, I heard these games use your computer's resources to help them mine. Would probably explain the game that blanked out the screen for 30 seconds before it loaded.
After I saw your intro, I just had to subscribe
I didn't really know about other game buying platforms other than Steam as I don't play on PC often... Now I know that Steam is one of the only platforms worth buying from.
Epic has been around for a while but they still haven't figured out how to gift games to other people. The friends I do play with only have Epic installed just long enough to play whatever multiplayer game we have in mind and then everyone just uninstalls it until it's needed again. It's a competitor to Steam. Just not a very good one.
Well, steam is not exactly perfect itself. Proof: another video by this channel I came from is about an nft scam/game.
epic has good games and its not a bad platform. but it lacks features that could really bring it to the next level. i often only go on there for the free game rotations and rocket league
You made me want to try to have a good laugh at NFT games from epic game and installed Celestia Ultima which greated me with half XBOX / half Game Cube buttons and crashed as soon as I pressed anything on my keyboard.

epic is so bad you can't even move games without redownloading them it makes it not even worth using for when they are giving games away for free
this is so true, as someone with 3 drives that are chronically low on space it makes using the platform seriously irritating
Dude i just discover your channel. Really love your content, keep it up.
this is an interesting side to the epic game store, I would like to see how far it goes.
The odd control scheme for Dino Dash is similar to other anti-gravity racing games, and is derived from the control scheme for WipEout, a ps1 game from 1995. The extra turning controls are usually called airbrakes and are used to turn sharply at the expense of speed or to bank slightly to aim your ship.
i've had fever dreams more coherent than polygod, goddamn.
I will never understand the mentality of "Play the game to make money". I'm sorry but the last thing I'm thinking of when I'm getting Raiden's face pulverized by Senator Armstrong's cinder-block like fists is "Golly Gee, I can't wait to use the money I make off of this to pay my student loans!" Shouldn't people be playing game because... I dunno, because they're fun games?
If Dinodash is so rare that cow isn’t born yet, is Polygod so rare that mother of cow isn’t born yet?

The way I heard it, Tim was against NFTs and blockchain until steam decided to completely ban them. He really just has a hate boner against Gaben and his platform.
Also remember when he used to bash steam's lack of quality control? Oh how the tables have turned...

How do you make a game with like 50 assets on screen take over 8gb of vram? I have poked around with game design but not looked into optimisation yet. Is this a common pitfall? I thought the game engine would usually handle stuff for you.
Someone else left a comment saying that it might just be that the devs forgot to change the warning threshold so the threshold might just be 0 MB for example and therefore it always throws a warning
@@jauwn Aaah that makes a lot of sense. I'm a total amateur and setting the warning threshold to zero to get an idea of what it's using is something I'd do because I dont understand how to use the engine diagnostic tools very well.
