Weekly /r/Games Discussion - Suggestion request free-for-all

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:09 PM PDT

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

If you want to post requests like this during the rest of the week, please post to other subreddits like /r/gamingsuggestions, /r/ShouldIBuyThisGame, or /r/AskGames instead.

Please also consider sorting the comments in this thread by "new" so that the newest comments are at the top, since those are most likely to still need answers.

It Seems a Lot of Users are Having Their Epic Games Accounts Locked Due to Invalid Login Attempts. Epic Games has yet to Address the Issue.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 06:52 PM PDT

Your Epic Games account has been locked due to multiple invalid login attempts. Please wait 120 minutes before trying to access your account. Feel free to contact us if you need help. Kind Regards, Your Friends at Epic

Two weeks ago I had someone attempt to access my Epic Games account. They failed, but the invalid attempts meant I couldn't login for a period of time. I didn't think anything of it, because I don't really have anything tied to the account.

Last night, however, it occured again I planned on contacting them today and by time I could it had happened again! So I messaged my gaming buddies and come to find out I wasn't alone. In fact, an alarming number of them had all had the same issue.

I went to Epic to see if I could contact support. But all of their support is tied to specific games. There isn't really an option for issues for your account. Twitter is useless, because of the popularity of Fortnite. I then went to /r/EpicGames and saw other users complaining their. I did a little Googling and saw they had made a blog post about account security and a possible breach, but they haven't addressed the issue of users having repeated failed login attempts directly.

I'm looking to see how widespread this issue really is and if anyone knows a way to contact Epic. For a company as large as them with a game as popular as Fortnite, they really need some better customer service tools.

Far Cry 5 Breaks Franchise Sales Records - Second Biggest Ubisoft Launch Ever

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 09:16 AM PDT

"Hold to activate" becoming more common in games these days. Why is this, and what's the point? (see post for example, hard to explain)

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:02 PM PDT

Lately I've been noticing a lot of more recent games (mostly console ports), require the player to hold down a specific button or key to perform a certain action.

The best example I have is this post that made it to the front page today on r/gaming: https://gfycat.com/impureforkedgangesdolphin (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/89qjfl/goddamnit_boomer_far_cry_5/)

As you can see in the beginning of the video, the person is required to hold down "Square" on the controller to exit the car instead of just pressing square once to exit (like it was on older games, such as GTA or whatever). Note: I do not own Far Cry 5, so I have no idea if it is the same way on the PC version. I have also seen very few footage of the game in general.

I've been seeing this pop up in a lot of games recently, but the furthest example where I remember it happening was No Man's Sky. Thankfully there was a mod on the PC version that removed that. I prefer to able to press the button and it do what it is supposed to do immediately (the way games have been for all these years).

I've seen in recent games such as Destiny 2, Wildlands, Vermintide 2 (when crafting components), and other games. According to a friend, even the PC MMO SoulWorker has this "feature" as well.

It's really annoying to me, and I was just curious about a few things: do people actually like it? What's the point of having this feature? Why do more developers not have this an option to turn on or off?

To me, it feels sort of like a less intrusive (I suppose) version of "Are you sure?" So instead of a popup dialog asking you, you have a few moments to stop and rethink. But if that is the case, then why have it on something as simple as exiting a vehicle? Or opening up a shop? Or whatever the case may be. Anyway, I'd like to see what others thoughts on this is. My biggest reason for making this post is to why all of sudden this "feature" has seemed to crop up, and why developers thought it was a good idea. Especially on the PC versions of the game (I can somewhat understand it on consoles).

Thanks.
