is it worth? i have a game idea and i want to start and learn, seeing what UE4 looks like with the culling seems it can be good for my slender esk game? (just kinda the same thing as slender, a dont get caught and finish a goal type game)

I'd rather buy a 1 month subscription in Lynda or Pluralsight.

If you know C++ sure, otherwise it's probably a waste on money. If you don't know C++ you'd probably find something better by doing lynda.com

well i knew some python from last year, forgot most of it by now,

 

so beginner, i've made a 2d beat your score game in python, but like i said that was last year so,

 

 

and yes i know it will take months if not years before i can actually make the game i want

You need to learn C++ if you want to go further in Unreal engine, you can get around without it for awhile but if you want to really customize without having to buy pre-made stuff you'll probably need C++

So C++ for anything? 

 

I just want to make a 3d game where you drive around in a car first person . That's the very basics of the game.

 

Is UE good for that?

C++ and Unreal will be quite different than your previous experience. That's not a bad thing though, just take things slow and expect to be challenged.

 

The course you linked claims to be suitable for beginners and they don't require you to know any C++ before starting the course. It's also well reviewed and has a 30 day money back guarantee. Those are all pretty good signs but I haven't taken the course so I can't give a review.

I'm working through this course right now, been learning quite a bit, I started with knowing virtually nothing about c++ but otherwise had a background in programming.

The teacher does quite literally have you start from the beginning, the first section doesn't even have you going into Unreal so you're familiar with stock c++ and Visual Studio (he does have you use the UE4 coding standard though) before jumping into UE4. It certainly seems like he knows his content. Also, there is content being added so your value will only ever go up (they're working on a new section called "Testing Grounds" right now).

By contrast, the Lynda.com course for UE4 (unless it has been updated super recently) only gives you an overview of the engine and how Blueprints work on a basic level.

There are also courses for Unity, Unity Certification, and Blender made by the same team.

Exactly

It says it will teach C++ so try it and (at least for 30 days) work at it hard to see if you'll be able to catch on without a C background. If not, get a refund, if so it seems like a good deal

My question is.. Why not old good fashioned youtube or plain tutorials to give you the basics you need to know? I don't understand why you would need to pay for something like this when there are free of charge options.. But that's probably just me I guess.

Usually when I see those they're of mixed quality, version target, and can target very specific use cases. At the very least with the paid option you know what you're getting and even have support.

 

But I don't think it's for everyone.

Well those are Shit most of the time. That's how I learned  python and it took forever. With bad explenation and just showing me how do stuff. Didn't tell me why or what anything ment.

 

A course is way better then some random guy on YouTube. 

 

And on YouTube the videos seem to be longer then they need to be. 

 

 

Also I'm not poor
