Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

[Belegarsson]

It's both amazing and sad that out of all games that Epic has given away, Celeste and Into the Breach are the only games that I don't already own.

I need to stop buying shit

 

[DalekFlay]

SuperHot free today is nice. Somehow never bought it but always wanted to try it.

 

[Silentstorm]

Somehow, all games i wouldbe interested in that Epic gave for free i had already bought aside from Subnautica.

On the one hand, i did enjoy some of those games like Celeste, Into The Breach and Enter The Gungeon and got to actually support the developers, on the other hand...i could have legally gotten those games for free if i had just waited so fuck me i guess.

Unconfirmed list of the upcoming "free" games. Not in order as Ape Out is obviously next. Probably not real, but maybe?

Hello Neighbor
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair
TowerFall Ascension
The Talos Principle
Ape out
TABS: Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Hob
Farming Simulator 19
Pyre
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

A bunch of trash besides Kingdom Come which you should buy on GOG instead. Epic's obviously all about supporting the devs so you shouldn't get it for free.

Since Epic surely pays them, redeeming it helps the devs too. I already own it on GOG but why not redeem it and send them a tiny bit of cash? That's how I think of it. You never even have to ever pay for a game on Epic to do it.

Towerfall Ascension is a great multiplayer game though, Talos Principle is a fine puzzle game, and Pyre was...kinda okay, the games aren't that bad honestly.

Also, no way in hell Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair will be given for free, no fucking way, the game came out this very year to good reviews TWO MONTHS AGO, unless you mean the original more hated game released a few years ago that can be described as Banjo with less personality, humor and a world that is less fun to interact with and explore, in which case, yeah, i could see it being given for free, Impossible Lair though, no way, it's way too recent.

Though i have to admit i haven't played any of the games, just what i heard, and according to people whose taste i trust, Impossible Lair is pretty much the "Donkey Kong Country" spin-off and much like the original Yooka-Laylee, it's a direct copy with a lot less charm and fun to it.

 

[DalekFlay]

You shouldn't trust me because I buy a bunch of platformers for nostalgia reasons and then barely play them, but I thought Yooka-Laylee 2D was pretty solid. Played it longer than I play most. Yes it is very, VERY Donkey Kong Country.

Anyway the hint for tomorrow's freebie is a snowy mountain.

It's a honeypot

Crazy they're doing a $30 game that came out like a month or two ago. Lots of pissy buyers I bet.

Yeah, I was THIS close to buying it on STEAM

These retro platformers are like recent point and click adventures for me, I buy them for nostalgia reasons and then never play them. Free is a good price though.

I just installed the epic launcher for this yooka-dooka game and damn, it's refreshing to actually have a client that just runs quickly and smoothly

and isn't an awkward buggy mess that for some reason takes minutes to load pages and tries to force play some retard streamer every time I open a damn game page (STEAM )

I stand corrected then and just got it, holy crap, i really did not expect this to be true, AND i got a coupon for 10 bucks which is cool too.

 

[Tito Anic]

Darksiders 1,2 is free now on EPIC.

 

[Tito Anic]

Zero games in epic store i want to pirate so it's even less games i want to buy.

Wtf, i must give money for classic RPG's: M&M1-6, W1-7, GoldBox to GoG, Steam?! Do Bradley, Caneghem still get extra shekel?!

You guys really made me wonder what sort of game would look so good as to convert Codexers to the Epic Store. But this looks like a super faggy game. Cutesy bullshit all over. If that's your taste, no wonder you fags fagged out for the Epic Fag Store. Of course that 10$ off coupon for future buttfucking is gonna come handy for you guys. Don't forget the lube!

I thought I read that A Hat in Time wiped the absolute floor with Yooka Laylee?

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the sequel and they embraced their donkey kong country roots more to great results in it apparently people seem to loeve it.

Are you saying that I can just waltz in to my local book store and leave with a copy of Don Quixote without paying because Cervantes won't see a dime from it? Cool!

 

[Reinhardt]

Yooka Laylee
