I'm such an idiot, I clicked Get thinking, great, Remedy's awesome Control game so many have raved about. Then I see some weird dev name I've never heard of and some cartoony graphics in the background. So at this point I'm like, what is this, Lego Control or something? 😳

Then I finally realized I was about to install something called Control that apparently is a game about PC apps or whatever! So while I'm at just over the halfway installed point of the Control I DID want, is there a way to remove games you don't care to install from your library?

Actually upon checking it further, Control (CTRL), is a tool to "fully customize widgets". Why it's on the Epic GAME Store I have no idea!

In you Library where the game is listed there are three dots on the right of the games picture. Click on them and you can uninstall from there.

Like I said, I installed Remedy's Control, not CTRL. I just want to remove it from showing in my Library.

BTW, Control is better than I thought it would be. Kind of upsetting that there's no higher difficulty modes to aspire to though.

Always enjoyed the NFS games but this one I've not heard anything good about it. It's dirt cheap right now and I might grab it anyway but might hate it like I did Rivals. That one got refunded after about an hour...

NFS Heat was a ton of fun though. i beat it and then put another bunch of hours into it just messing around the map and getting into races with underpowered cars.

I also despised Rivals, had horrible experience playing it, but I'm sure it was on me, it had rather subpar performance at launch (I think it was stuck on 30 FPS, kindly correct me if I'm mistaken) and I was playing it on a woefully underpowered machine with GTX 950M and a Skylake era laptop..

I liked Heat better... Had 100 hours-ish put into the game, never touched the online stuff, but had a blast just customising cars and making liveries (like I did in the 2015 reboot). The UNITE mod also made it such a treat for the eyes..

Still can't top my favourite NFS of all time though, The Run..
 
I've been playing Control lately, as Epic Games Store had it free Xmas day. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I'm actually enjoying it, after having said many times it looked too repetitious in environments and enemy types. My one small nit pick is with no difficulty mode to select, there's no chance to aspire to harder challenges. I have to say though, the optional challenges that pop up every now and then to kill X amount of enemies in a certain length of time are quite tough.

Playing Phantom Fury.

A throw back to early 2000 games. It's fun, kind of a story if you follow the in game computers and read the personal logs and e-mails but mostly a kill the bad guys and move on shooter.

At times it feels the game is stacked against you with sections where you start, get killed and do over again and again until you really know where the goons are. :)

That was the game that made me think that 2024 wasnt completly wasted

A small light into the absolute ocean of bullshit that actually is the video game industry

A small light but... maybe... THE BEST game I ever played, and honnestly, this game made me think that ..maybe.. the human race isnt totally doomed and hopeless

I could not complete DL2 reloaded edition in the latter parts of the MQ because of the useless mechanic techland implemented for the grappling hook tool. The vanilla version makes that tool your character has to use to progress in the MQ a total failure. The grappling hook in DL1 worked well & did what that tool is suppose to do. Why they messed it up in DL2 with the latest updates is beyond me. Consequently I enrolled a mod to fix this one issue & besides that I have a new 5.1 sound system to play it with (Logitech Z906) with upgraded speaker cables & a new sound card arriving any day now to my immersion in this game will take on another level altogether.
It's amazing to me how PC gamers will spend big $ on dGPU, mobo & cpu setup yet neglect or mildly upgrade their sound systems for gaming. Sound is a vital ingredient in the video game world, especially when it aids immersion. I've tried headphones before & pretty high end ones too with a dedicated sound card but it just doesn't cut it imo for this so called "virtual 7.1" they like to market them with. It's a joke & nothing compares to real dedicated speaker systems.

The grappling hook in DL1 worked -- as long as you completely suspended any belief in physics.

Yes. and? its a video game - not going to be 100% perfect real world physics.
When I swing a melee weapon at an enemy & near a door way or wall, the weapon doesn't hit the wall.... yet no one complains about non-realism.

100% real? DL2 is more like spiderman WRT how the grappling hook works, a complete fantasy in which the laws of physics are completely suspended.
