Oh god those 20 seconds of silence at the start are going to mess with my autoplay

Remember that time you tried to buy some games and because you tried to buy 5 games at once the store front locked you out of the store?

Fun EGS story. Remnant: From the Ashes had an update about 2 weeks ago, just after it stopped being a free game. On Steam, the update was around 900 mbs. On EGS, you had to redownload the whole game, which was nearly 40 gbs. People from Gunfire Games had to come out and tell people this wasn't on their end, it was an Epic issue. I went and got the complete version on Steam after that, only partially regretting the $40 dump, which I could have used for Control.

It never ceases to amaze me how often and how DIFFICULT it is for some companies to let you give them money. They seem to not even want it, they make doing it as hard as possible. Yar Har, I guess

I figured I'd try mortal shell since its only 30 bucks and when I found out it was only on the epic store it's existence was deleted from my brain.

Interesting work around (security flaw?) I discovered about the epic Games launcher. If you are signed out and can't remember your login information just launch a game (I have a folder full of shortcuts so I don't have to deal with the Launcher/store) and it will automatically sign you in. I mean who needs login info when you can just click a shortcut and you're in!

Lights go off, curtains go up and suddenly Randy Pitchford appears on a stage

Paraphrased. Not really. Woolie: Yeah have you looked at PS3 FF7 and how bad it looks? Pat: But I was just gonna play it on PC with mods to make Tifa's boobs bigger than her head, as God intended. Woolie: No one asked, but thank you for sharing.

The ps3 store use to be good, but when they changed it to the ps4 storefront interface holy shit did it chug

I would describe pat's issue as: "A cascade failure of poor design"

Yaaay finally pats stares at yakuza dead souls

"The Blacks are not that deep" - Pat Circa 2020 colorized

Pat talking about needing to buy the cheapest splitters reminds me of the old DVDRW drive problems. If you wanted to duplicate DVD's, you basically had to buy a shit cheap DVDRW drive AND cheap blank DVD's because all the good ones had copy protection. I hate that stuff it's ass-backwards man

The super best friends merch store was horrible

The Microsoft store is just so awful. It looks bad, no consistency in design from area to area, your library is a hidden tab, I've had many time where things just disappear from the library list (not that I can't use them anymore just no longer on the installed list), there is no way to uninstall games/apps within the store, why are free games in the best selling category? The store is so bad, that they made an Xbox app for their games, and even that doesn't work all the time (in my experience).

Love woolies analogy for the epic game store brick n morter store, u walk in and they turn the lights off and draw a curtain and go "how can we help you", lol cracks me up XD

Pat needs to release another shirt cuz I need something other than pat stares at lmao, keep up the good work boys, I can’t believe I’m still listening to your bullshit 10 years later 😂❤️

I am absolutely serious when I say that someone with clout needs to make a Video Game Digital Storefront tier list video.

It wasn't until COVID that I actually started regularly downloading games on PS4 because my PS3's massive download times and constant drops made me have game store PTSD

"Use it like a _sleeve_ " ... oh jeez. does he mean what we think he means?

Wish I knew about that dos method to delete folders the Microsoft store kept on my computer and would not delete. I moved everything I needed on an external harddrive and formated the harddrive with all the Microsoft crap to get rid of it.

20 seconds of loud, 20 seconds of silence, now we need the *just right* of 10 seconds of medium. Or, well, no intro at all.

I have my PS3 connected to me elgato HD60 and bought an HDMI splitter just last year and I have no trouble with connecting and recording anything on it. After hearing so many people say it's such a pain in the ass I was expecting to have to go through some bullshit but it was easy.

Epic is good for free games, I don't give them much credit beyond that. Like, the company is a crunch-culture-infested pack of exploitative dickbags. While I appreciate that the exclusivity deal is the only way to have any serious competition given Steam's deeply embedded network externalities, and I think it's actually a pretty decent deal for indies that are a bit tight on cash, I don't have to *like* it. On top of that, they churn through employees like a teenage boy through Kleenex boxes, intentionally abusing and draining them of any love of working on games, tossing them out before they have to pay benefits, then getting new bodies on Fortnite skin duty.

put some audio in the intro, woolie. If it's under 9 seconds and not a soundtrack it can get through content id most of the time.

Let none of this distract you from the fact EGS still doesn't have a shopping cart, user reviews, or gifting. Nearly two years in since its launch. You think they'd focus that Fortnite money into development for basic features.

Holy hsit I just found this channel after the fall of SBFP jesus I feel like I'm back in 2014. Good I'm crying this is insane. I missed you guys so much.

* bad css flashbacks *

Pat went through what I go through every day as a last gen user

Dude, I STILL hate the fact that they buried the absolute shit out the PS2 classics on the PSN store. Because just having a goddamn tab for it is too much, but please give me 3 different tabs trying to sell PS Now to me.

I remember buying Mortal Kombat 9 on the PSN store and it took me a whole 8 hours to download.

I can't use the browser version of the EGS because it doesn't accepts my password for some reason even though it works on the app, since I already had an account for the Unreal Engine. Which is a similar issue I had with Skype, that wouldn't accept my e-mail login even thought it was the same account.

my last experience with an undeleteable folder was back in 486 Windows 3.1 days, when i somehow managed to rename my Myst install folder some bullshit with untypeable characters in it (i *think* through the save/load game interface?) and then the whole OS just couldn't do anything with that directory or anything in it, ever again, without shitting itself and crashing. cost me like 20MB off a 512MB hard drive. still got that computer somewhere; i oughtta dig it out and see if i can figure out how to fix that now that google exists.

Worst storefront huh.....well if we are talking about PC then I’d wager it to be Origin. If Consoles......more debatable but I’ll say.......Playstation store.....maybe.

Papa CD And Mama Project are doing there best with there little GOG store.

I remember when I first installed the Epic game store to get enter the gungeon for free that month. The official website installer wouldn't work. I'm not even talking crashing during install or missing some .dll file, the .exe wouldn't DO ANYTHING, I had to manually type in an older version of it on google and download it from softonic or whatever the name was, the installer distributor full of adware, to actually get a version of the store that would fucking install itself, update and let me browse

PS Store on PS4 is also really bad. Laggy as hell. I press some category and it takes 20 seconds to switch there.

*Laughs in functioning epic store*

With the amount of dead air/silence that Pat's streams have, I think video quality is the least of his concerns

See now what you actually want to do is go through a browser on your PC, log in to your ps account from there, make sure the ps3 you want the game on is marked as primary device and then remotely start the download through your purchased page on the website

The Microsoft Store is so bad that years ago when I tried to get Killer Instinct it wouldn't even let me log into the store because it couldn't imagine that I changed passwords between Windows 8/10. If everything else hadn't killed my interest in KI then that for sure did.

them talking about the time frame of when you could have found an HDCP free HDMI splitter and here i am a year ago googling how to record PS3 with Elgato HD60 and first thing i find is the Rei HDMI splitter and it works and i can record my PS3 now. its a well made little metal box that needs a power source.

As God and has her 90s fmvs intended indeed. God bless.

Pro tip if you want to download stuff nowadays from the store for a PS3, buy it and set it up to download from the store in a browser, once you sign up on your ps3, the game will start downloading without having to acces to the store.

I haven't had issues with the epic store, but I had an issue where I couldn't use my PS4 controller to play Maneater because it wasn't supported. So the solution was to add epic games store to my steam library as a non steam app. Which allowed me to use steams controller support in Maneater. It's pretty silly that I had to use steam to play an epic store game the way I wanted to.

PSA: Hades is launching 1.0 in October.

This is going to sound like a bit of a stretch. I don't know if the Switch or PS4 can do this, but as a fucked up backwards ass method of capturing is streaming to your PC and using that signal. It's only delayed by like maybe half a second.

I was having the exact same issue with the Epic game store that Woolie is having. It happened twice, even after I fixed it. When Hades appeared on Steam, I immediately bought it again just so I'd be free from all that bullcrap..

if you think the PS3 digital storefront is a nightmare just check out the PSP digital storefront. also registry editing isn't all that risky to do. jsut make sure you only delete the PSO2 files. also thank god PSO2 is now on steam so i never have to deal with the MS Store version ever again

What is sync delay?

does anyone remember the title of the indie action game woolie decried not getting as much attention as the subpar samurai jack game?

The old PS Store on PS3 was way better than the current PS Store on PS3

Why not post the full podcast on yourtube?

My bones hurt thinking about Epic. I feel pain

PSP had a Store too

I love the PS3 but the store is awful and feels like it's killing the PS3. It was even worse at release. Even the PS4 version is not that great but it's not hair pulling bad. I always use the web version on my PC and I can directly download on my PS4 in rest mode, it's great. On PC though... Origin and Uplay improved a lot over the years and works now but are still not great compared to Steam. Good thing Epic "released" their own to make them look good but I hope they don't get lazy because of that.

Epic Games Store. It's almost as if the intention wasn't about making the experience of buying and playing video games better for the customer and it was only about shoveling more money into Tim Sweeney's lying, gaping maw.

21:00 What the fuck i didn't even know hades was on epic i thought it was only steam early access only

So has anyone diagnosed what Woolie did on his end to fuck up his epic store? As a complete Luddite I was able to one click download the epic store and have had no problems with it. And since Woolie is always boasting of how fucked up his pc settings are...

I haven't touched a video game store front in years, but the worst designed store front I have come across is by far and away Games Workshop's. It's an utter chore and how dare you buy something that's temporarily out of stock (you could've bought it and sent along later - but no!!), remove that shit from your basket!

The worst modern store front I can think of is the windows game store, why would I pay for Xbox love or gold or whatever the fuck for a pc game?

Woolie, you gotta play the PC version of Control, specially if you have an RTX, that game looks great.

So.... The EGS is actually, truly a poor experience. It is shocking that they haven't put in more than just the basic requirements to get it running barely adequately. I think people are being more hyperbolic than they need to be with how bad it is, but it is bad. However, They are literally paying us to log-in to their Store every week and click a few buttons. I think my library on EGS is over 200 games, most are interesting, fun and worth playing, though old and past the point of making much money from sales. Some are FTP mobile trash. But their timed exclusives, deep discounts on new titles and free give-away marketing strategy has some effect. I have paid for 1 game on EGS, Phoenix Point. I logicked it out and figured that, it was on sale for 40% off and I got to apply a 10$ off coupon to pay less for the game now, than when the GOTY / Complete edition is released late next year and it hits Steam, for the luxury of not having to wait that long to play it. Don't exactly regret that decision... just wish that PP was a little further along in development. Which I thought it was when I purchased it. Also, the web version is the only way to get your free games sometimes. When the free game is a huge draw, like GTA or Total War Sparta, the EGS App can crash and not work... but going to the website version will usually work in short order.

so apparently im the only one that never had an issue with epic store. not from perspective of what they do with developers, but just as a user. granted i dont buy multiple games at once or play multiplayer, that could be some of it

The file size of CoD:MW is a fucking disgrace.

That suck about the epic store, as I'm watching this it just works on my shitty non gaming laptop.

i love the ps3. resistance fall of man you could hook up usb mouse and keybord. it worked wonderfully

Epic Games Store is so bad that they are giving away top free games and gets 1 year exclusivity before steam and people still prefer steam due to how better it is in everyway EGS just gets money from Fortnite, which is the only reason that store exists

Dude, it's easy to strip the HDCP on a PS3 these days. Component is not needed for PS3 recording anymore.

I was just using the vita store the other day, it’s still fluid but fuck off not labeling every psp game as a psp game

Your descriptions of the Epic store sound like what happens when you're playing a video game where you're a robot and the game wants something bad to happen to the player character.

The worst storefront on console is for sure PlayStation. The worst on PC is Epic, though Origin has the distinction of having terrible download speeds in my experience.

Tell Pat the Bnet launcher has a beta available now which lets you choose which games to show or hide! Finally. Fucking finally. Should have been there from the beginning, not be a beta feature offered in 2020. But it is finally a damned option.

Fucking hell, stop calling the command prompt DOS! DOS hasn't been included in Windows since Millenium Edition! It's not the same thing at all. Even back in the day, the command shell (command.com) was just a part of DOS. It was no more DOS itself than explorer.exe is Windows today.

Multiplayer Samsho collection is an actually joke

so are these guys nutts or me? i took me maybe 2 minutes to get hitman off of the epic store before it got it's freebie sale.

Xbox One just became best HDMI splitter.

Battlenet at least pre-dates steam

I just use the PS store from the pc.

Does Pat call it the Vitta just to see who gets triggered in the comments??

Did Pat manage to not get peed on this week?

Never heard them talk about this before

Fun(?) Fact: I only have an iMac computer and I use the Epic Store there, granted, the selection of games available for Mac is shit and there's no way to make the store show u only those. I only use it to get the free games they give, I access them thru their pop ups when they go for free, install them immediately after download and then play them from the 'My Library' tab. I've never had a problem with it :3

Gonna have a wild take here but the excuse of indies going to Epic being "Oh, we need to take the bribe" is stupid and plainly states the quality of the game. If they *need* the bribe, then their game isn't good enough to succeed on it's own. Hell, some developers are starting to realize this and not even bothering to make the game they were paid to make, instead opting to double in on Patreon funding *and* the Epic bribe, because it's just more profitable that way.

So it's ok to pay the evil monopoly company of last week when you want to make videos about it

Relatable content is for cowards. The more inside-baseball, the better.

The Blacks aren't as deep . Pat 2020

no pat the microsoft store is worst because they want gamepass to be their console and shit like the seris x to just be a phone like how Andriod has different phones or apple

Why does woolie sound so disinterested and tired in these?

Oh wow cool first I guess never thought this would happen.
