Epic Store Free Games

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Conarium is now free.

Next week's game is ??? (Something Batman related)

Is there a way to organize the library section? Like smaller icons or put the games in a list?

There's no way they don't have that simple option.

I couldn't find any.
The client itself is all sorts of fucked. I just tried to install Conarium. So I opened the launcher and it started updating my games. Tried to stop it but instead of a Cancel button there was an Uninstall one. Which wasn't even working.
Restarted the client, this time I could stop the updates but I couldn't install Conarium. The button wouldn't work. Another client restart and now I can finally install Conarium.

To build hype i suppose. I don't think they will give all batman games.

Why not? You can buy keys for all those games and still be under 10$. They gave away Knight with a GPU years ago.

Itd be super cheap for Epic to get all 4 batman games

Well that looks more probable then. Nice. Liked first one, never got to play other ones because there was almost always something better to play.

There's none. It's so ugly. I actually wrote tech support about it. They laughed it off (probably thought I'm Epic Store hater).

The whole Epic Game Store feels to me like they threw out the first functioning pre-alpha version as their official launch. They love to spout that Steam had 15 years to improve, which is true, however that also means people expect features at least on par with that standard that Steam set. Epic could have been/could be a true competitor, the problem is their store is so anemic that I refuse to pay for anything on their service. Hell as far as I'm aware DLC support STILL isn't in the EGS (please do correct me if I'm wrong), and the lack of a shopping cart and the idea that the publisher/dev decides if user reviews are visible are just more sour tastes. I do take the free games though, they've been nice additions with many of them being ones I've been interested in.

It's lacking tons of features sure, am I alone that digs the aesthetic? It looks really clean. Steam is the most functional launcher, but as far looks epic, xbox game pass, and ubisoft are pretty good looking imo. Origin and Gog are eh.

I feel like it will get an overhaul for the store creation anniversary. A lot of features put in March on Trello had a six-month release cycle. If we don't get to see improvement in September then I wouldn't be surprised about everything to drop in December.

What are you talking about? GOG's launcher is the best one with the best feature: it's not mandatory.

I'm talking about aesthetics. idgaf about having to open a game through a menu. I would be doing that anyways through xbmc or something if they didn't exsist.

I still open all my vidya via shortcuts in a folder on my desktop called Games just like how office software and maintenance sutff are in a folder called Tools. Maybe if I like a game particularly and been playing it a lot lately, then the shortcut is directly on the desktop. I don't really understand why people feel the need to open a launcher to browse their games. It's not like I'm going to be looking at a digital collection and go look at all this digital games I have, they look nice and pretty in my digital shelf.

Batman Free Week

As a developer ourselves, we have always wanted a store with fair economics that connects us directly with our players. Thanks to the success of Fortnite, we are now able to share our capabilities with other developers and make that store a reality.

By my reckoning, there's about 13 more weeks to go with the free game giveaway. Wonder if they will actually stop at that time or keep going...

I am sad as hell the LEGO Batman games are not online co-op, because the LEGO games are a ton of fun to play with a friend or a family member. Arkham who?

Wow, I wrote a sorting algo when I was 12. +1 Epic Store devs. Keep this pace up and you might be competitive in a few short decades.

My full Epic Games library contains only of free EGS games. And it will probably be bigger than my Steam's library in 2 years although these games wouldn't be as great as ones on my Steam account

Loving the free games - Its literally saving me tons. These games arent new but they certainly aren't bad at all. Arkham series and Metro now, all great games esp if you havent played them.

Genuinely don't know why people are complaining/disliking EGS. Free is free ffs...

Is Surviving Mars any good? There’s so many management strategy type game(s) that look good, but you wonder if they’re worth the time.

Didn't hear much about it to be honest but from what i saw on streams it was pretty average to boring at best.

Who knows tho, will probably try it out in a month from now.
