This was such depressing news to read. I REALLY love Last Epoch. I think it's the best in the genre right now. Have played through it SO many times over the years. Through EA, at release, after a bunch of patches, after a new season, etc. Every time I love it.

To see this news is just soooooooo disheartening.

Goodbye Last Epoch, you were amazing while you were with us. We will remember you fondly :sad:

hahah that's quite a wishlist you have there!!! 600+ games!!!

I almost never use that left or top bars for navigation in the store, so I guess I will barely even notice this change. I probably should try to dive into the categories and stuff like that more often though.

HOLY SHITBALLS that looks amazing. So are we to think those progress meters are correct? If so, then 2025 is no chance right? Most likely next year / maybe 27?

I LOVE a good gzdoom project maybe moreso than most aaa gaming LOL. My best friend and I will get a six pack of beer, plop down on the couch, kick the kids out (sorry, we're going to turn off Bluey, it's time for Daddy and Scorch to violently murder a bunch of pixelated baddies), and stay up way past my bedtime!!! We just take turns on death. It's so much fun! Of course it helps we grew up at JUST the right time for Doom1 / Doom2. I remember trying to figure out what programs I could delete off my mom's 486 running DOS, so that I could free up enough hdd space to have BOTH doom1 and doom2 installed so if my friends wanted to modem deathmatch I could be ready in a heartbeat (MOM! DONT ANSWER THE PHONE OH MY GOD)

ok, sorry, got carried away there. I love a good gzdoom project! And this looks so awesome.

This is great! I wonder if it'll fix the issue I have where the fps counter just randomly stops working entirely. I have to quit steam and restart it and it will come back.

@sonic2kk - yeah I had the same initial reactions / feelings in the first year after launch. It was (still is and will always be) NOTHING AT ALL remotely even close to what they claimed it would be. Very similar to No Man's Sky in that regard. Everyone involved knew full well they were lying through their teeth but they just kept lying.

Fast forward to the big 1.5 patch, and I gave it a try. It was so much fun! I just had to get over the fact that it wasn't anything like what I was expecting, and it was just pretty much another ubi open world questapalooza. But so well done for what it was. I had a blast playing it from start to finish.

This game is always the topmost #1 entry in every single package management app ever because of its name, so I have been seeing this app listed in stores for YEARS.

Kinda makes me want to try it out even though RTS' aren't even my thing.

It really is such an awesome game. The story is laughable, but everything else is just so well done. (well. *most* everything else lol)

I don't know how you stopped part-way through Liam! Once it got its hooks into me, I was done for. Finished it without touching anything else.

Honestly I just think changing the name AT ALL while already having done multiple next fests, tons of announcements, early access launch, etc... is just a horrible idea. Now when this game launches, if it was on someones wishlist, they won't even know wtf it is. "huh heroes of what? I don't remember adding this? delete."

I absolutely LOVED Avowed and can't recommend it enough. Yes, it does have its issues, but what game doesn't. The biggest for me was what @theriddick mentioned - npc's and towns don't feel alive or "real". It would take quite a big update to fix this though, but maybe they will. The other biggie for me was unique weapons were so limited, but this update at least addresses that a bit.

For the good: there's just so much. It's gorgeous. It also seems to me to be the best implementation of ue5 EVER. Like no contest. The Obsidian devs somehow have some dark sorcery code in there that makes the engine run well, that seemingly ever other studio on earth cannot figure out.

The story is really well done and engaging. Characters have depth and the side quests for your party is really fun and gives them more depth. Some of it is quite sad and emotional.

The lore and the world itself .... omg. Just .... absolutely fantastic. I've always loved Eora and its unique world setting, and they just embrace it here. Soooooo well done.

The "hey what's that over there" feeling is alive and well. It's jam packed with secrets, and side quests and stuff to stumble upon, etc. Love it.

So much more too !!! Really really enjoyed my time playing it.

Wow, that's surprising. I really liked the old name personally. It was at least interesting. Who's the siren? Why does it need silencing or was silenced? New name is just a rip off of HoMM ... !!

I suppose they are correct that it'll get them more initial clicks. Will that transition to more sales?
