    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    I have a Linux based PC. I have steam for it, but haven't looked into any additional launch platforms.

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    Rather ironically, I fired up my 360 just for shits and giggles, and having sold every single one of my disk games, I didn't have a single thing to play, so I logged onto the microsoft store and THE 360 GAMES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PS4 GAMES!

    This disparity is wild. I am very glad I chose to buy a ps4 when I did, as there is always a sale going on, and games can be picked uup no matter what, for sometimes a penny. There is almost always a AAA game for around 5 bucks, and even new releases usually have some sort of a package deal.

    Every single game on the xbox store started at 19.99.

    Im sure part of it has to do with the reverse compatability of the one with the 360, but even so, that is just mind blowing to me that they could have gotten 20 bucks from me in that moment just so I could buy two, maybe 3 games. I would not have minded an indie game or two, but their price points even there are just sillt.

    Epic Games Store

    Nuclear Throne : November 7th - 14th, 2019
    Ruiner : November 7th - 14th, 2019

    Both top down shooters. Nuclear Throne is a goofy/stylistic roguelike, Ruiner is some kind of cyperbunk thing. Interestingly enough, Nuclear Throne is one of those few games that never goes on sale on Steam for some reason.

    The Messenger : November 14th - 21st, 2019

    A modern take on Ninja Gaiden that received a fair amount of acclaim but not enough to set the world on fire.

    I can't speak for their store prices as I've never used it, but you can play brand new games for $10 with Game Pass so I wouldn't knock them too hard.

    I missed another week, sorry.

    Rayman Legends : November 29th - December 6th, 2019
    Jotun : December 6th - December 12th, 2019


    Rayman is a pretty solid 2D platformer.

    At the Game Awards, Epic announced that starting the 19th they will be giving away 12 games for free over 12 days. So look forward to that.

    The Wolf Among Us is really good, if you like those types of Telltale interactive comicbook type games.

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    Epic's 12 days of free games have started. Unfortunately they did not release a list of what they are giving away each day, in order to encourage people to keep coming back. I don't think I want to bump this thread every day, but might change my mind on days they give something particularly notable away.


    Today's game is Into the Breach. It's a simplified strategy game from the people who made FTL. I highly recommend it.

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    Today is the last day of Epic's holiday giveaways, and they are giving away Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. This is probably the most notable of what they gave away, though there were a few other gems as well.

    Spoiler for complete list:

    Into the Breach
    Towerfall Ascension
    Superhot
    Little Inferno
    Ape Out
    Celeste
    Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
    FTL: Faster Than Light
    Hyper Light Drifter
    Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
    Talos Principle
    Hello Neighbor
    Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair


    I sort of thought that this would close off their free games thing they've got going. I heard a rumor they were starting a subscription service, and they can't just keep giving stuff away for free. But sure enough, they are already teasing the next two games for next week. One is definitely Darksiders 2, not sure what the other is.

    So, how did it take me until now to find Path of Exile and to realize it was free to play? I feel like I have been very neglected by this.

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    I'm fairly sure it was always free to play too. Maybe one of the freest to play.

    Faeria - February 20th - 27th, 2020


    I've said before that when I made this thread I didn't foresee having to bump it constantly like this, but Kingdom Come is probably worth bumping it for. I don't know if they ever fixed it, but that was a pretty big release a couple of years ago.

    Bumping this a little early due to a last second addition to this week's free games.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate - February 20th - 27th, 2020
    Faeria - February 20th - 27th, 2020

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    I missed last week's, and am a day away from missing this one. I'm close to giving up and only bumping this thread when I know the game being offered is a big deal but I'm not there yet.

    Epic

    Offworld Trading Company - March 5th - March 12th, 2020
    GoNNER - March 5th - March 12th, 2020
    Anodyne 2: Return to Dust - March 12th - 19th, 2020
    A Short Hike - March 12th - 19th, 2020
    Mutazione - March 12th - 19th, 2020


    There should be another update in a day or two, but if I waited to post it then anyone reading this would miss the chance to get Offworld Trading Company today, which I think is supposed to be good.

    They're all a big deal to somebody! Even if it's just the developer.

    Re: The Free Game Offers Thread

    Something other than Epic for once! Steam is giving Drawful 2 away for free for a couple of weeks. Drawful 2 is a local party game where you draw things on your phone and then everyone votes for what they think the right answer is. Basically anyway. I'm mostly familiar with watching this game streamed.

    Kind of silly timing on this, but whatever. Free is free.


    Epic stuff too though

    I'm more concerned with people that might click this thread. If you deluge people with junk information, the things they might care about become harder to parse and they might start ignoring it altogether. But for now it's easier to just keep doing this than to make that judgement call.

    Just Cause 4 - April 16th - 23rd, 2020
    Wheels of Aurelia - April 16th - 23rd, 2020


    I played the Sherlock Holmes game on PS+ a few years ago. Performance wasn't great but I found it to be otherwise entertaining. Just Cause 4 is a big budget title, but it was received somewhat poorly. Probably worth seeing the weather effects.
