I really thought Guild Wars had it all when I learned of it. I went out and found all of the resources i could, and noted all the specs and rumours and whatnot. I ended up becoming a beta tester for it and everything.

Sadly, during gameplay I was very severely disappointed and walked away. I went back to try it a second time and what I considered to be very serious and obvious issues were not and apparently would not be addressed. This topic only remains for amusement’s sake, as a testament to my ability to waste huge amounts of time for nothing.

  • Note that I am bound by a beta tester’s NDA, so I cannot discuss the various things which went on during my time as a tester.
  • Followed by Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game)

I dunno, it cost money so I didn’t buy it.

This is my first use of Epic

  • The website sucks. It was hard to figure out how to get the launcher.
  • The launcher pops up ads; fuck off.
  • The launcher does not have “save the world” in it.
  • Wikipedia showed me https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/save-the-world
  • The top-right is a download link, which is not obvious.
  • That download link gives me something that just tries to install the launcher.
  • Clicking “In Library” does not install the game. How do I install things?
  • I had to go to my library, search there, and install from there.
  • Trying to install it gave me a damned popup about connecting other accounts; fuck off.
  • I can’t control my download speed?
  • What does “Operations” mean?
  • Oh, settings lets me fiddle with things.

–

  • Applying “the best settings” keeps it full screen windowed; nice.
  • No audio in background, which was annoying for the intro.
  • What the fuck is this cutscene intro mess? It isn’t showing gameplay or lore.
  • Weird screen tearing sometimes at some text in the intro.

–

Oh, it requires purchase; well fuck it then.

An awkward shooter which has a music player. I guess the music is related to the gameplay, but I don’t see how.

  • Online radio song selection.
  • Really shit folder selection. I accidentally hit upon v to use a proper windows dialog.
  • Cannot choose a folder and have it recursively search.
