Epic Store Free Games

Looking forward to that Samurai Showdown collection. Never played the series and nice reason to break out the fight stick.

Edit: I just saw that Samurai Showdown 2 and some othern SNK fighters (a couple King of Fighters games) are free this month for Twitch Prime members.

I'd avise the fool to keep his mouth shut too.

It's that time of the week:



 
The Escapists 2 was fun for a few hours and would play more if I wasn't drowning in games. Not tried killing floor yet. Might give next up hero a go.

Man, free games rule.

Nothing is truly free on the Epic Store.

Did the store actually get better or is it still a piece of shit with a smattering of features that other platforms did years ago?
 
I got WWZ for free and thank god i did because its not really that good. I expect a helluva lot in the sequel and asking $20 for obvious locked out chapter for DLC is criminal. I bought the DLC today and there was NO download needed. At least the game is optimized and it has moments but seriously a lot of problems with the design.
 
I didn't sell my soul, I just downloaded a launcher.

Get your facts straight moron.

Now lets hold on, the poster you quoted is taking a stand for decency and saving his soul .......... by not getting free games.

The damage they have done to Epic can not be quantified ....... it is literally immeasurable.

The client is still trash. Performs like a dog now that I've got a big library from all the freebies. Try scrolling down to the bottom of the list to find a game and it'll hang for seconds trying to catch up. That is just basic stuff for goodness' sake.
 
Why do people sell their souls for free games?

If you're so eager for free games, why not go full "yarr harr"?
At least you get to keep your soul.
But you sold your soul for steam, I bet.


Which is a scourge that ended up giving us endless launchers and less control over our games.
 
Epic has given me so many good games. I could not have imagined owning the games they've given me. I would not have spent the money to purchase a lot of these games, but I've wanted to play these games. I was about to buy Thimbleweed Park, but Epic just gives it to me for free. I played Celeste on Xbox, but getting it free on PC (same with The Messenger) was a nice touch. Even if you feel like it's LTTP. I enjoyed Samurai Showdown back in the arcades and the Anthology collection. Owning it now through Epic's client is a big bonus. I wanted Killing Floor 2 for a while and now I own that.

Are reviews still not an option? I bet game companies love that feature - or lack thereof. :/ If they added it, then I am surprised.

I wouldn't even care half as much if the Epic bribes for exclusivity went to the actual developers and not the publishers, but whatever floats Tim Swindley's boat.

It's on the roadmap, although way behind schedule. And it has always been intended as optional, decided by devs. Am curious to see how many turn it on.


Looking at the the roadmap, I see 'Android Store' is on there. Interesting. Would be nice if they offered more support to Mac before blitzing us with gacha games.

Who am I kidding though, I've barely touched my stack of freebies yet. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Second to that. I just looted my local tech shop in Black friday, and kept my soul intact. Even sales hurts my soul, i can't imagine getting something for free legally.

Why do you keep repeating the same nonsensical bullshit every single day of your life for the last ten years?

Also, fuck Epic but I'm getting the freebies anyway.
Even if in reality the overwhelming majority of this shit is divided between old bundle bin trash I already got somewhere else years ago AND shit I wouldn't play if paid to.

Because it's the plain truth. Mandatory launchers made our gaming lives worse and took a degree of consumers' rights from us.

But you just have to root for your favourite team. Go Gaben, Go!

it's mostly because unlike you I don't live in denial. I remember perfectly well how the market was when Steam started building up its platform.
You spent the last ten years becoming almost a self-parody about your hate for the platform and straight up making up the most insane narrative about how "before Gaben the PC market was a paradise without launchers and DRM".
You make water_wendi seem a mentally well adjusted guy in comparison.

As if annoying copy checks and straight up malware like TAGES, Securom and Starforce weren't becoming the norm every-fucking-where, while less and less software was making its way on the PC in general since everything that wasn't WoW had abysmal sales.

Easy you two.

Fuz's opinion is valid even if I don't personally agree with it.
Hunting down CDs sucked, alongside the DRM that came with it. God forbid the disc was scratched.
We lost the second hand market but gained automatic patching, very tame DRM by default, deep sales and more. I still see it as a net win.
How much we value certain things is just spread out differently.

We're chill, it's just friendly banter.

See, that's where I don't agree: we didn't need to substitute the shitty DRM that we had with another shitty DRM. We should have strived to remove them all. That's why I buy exclusively on GOG.

by the way, automatic patching is a "con" for me, but I understand people that can't be bothered.

Fair enough.
I don't dare to dream as big as you do, but I always feel a little sad when publishers treat GoG like they have leprosy.

Not a case of being bothered but that manual patching doesn't scale well across a large installed library. Time spent patching is time not spent playing. The few times when I'd have rather have stayed on an older version do suck, but they are few. Some devs do go out of their way to offer "beta" branches with previous versions at least, but the classic gog route provides the most flexibility there.

That is BS. I remember the time pre-steam and it fucking sucked. StarForce, Securoms, having to keep disc in mechanics, fucking around with WON and shit multiplayer infrastructure. The day I was able to connect to a friend playing a game by righclicking on his name and selecting "join a game", Steam won forever.

Plus to my knowledge Valve never made CEG or any other DRM mandatory so all the control is still there up to the developers. I have couple games installed via Steam that function 100% perfectly even if Steam is not running. Your beef is with developers who use DRM, not with Valve.

That said I like GOG too.
