Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.
Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.
Counterpoint:
Epic Games Store
True. I have 237 games claimed on there, but only 14 have over an hour play time. $0 spent on that store.
Or… Just claim the games and play them if you ever feel like it and don’t if you don’t?
Oh fuck off you big baby, we don’t need people like you in every discussion about free games on EGS, we get it, you’re mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly, go bitch somewhere else and let people enjoy the free games.
you’re mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly
And you can tell that by how much they complain(ed) about Itch, GoG, Desura, and other competitors, right?
Yup, EGS doesn’t get a pass for sucking just because it’s an underdog. The store experience sucks, the company behind it actively avoids supporting the Steam Deck (valid business reasons imo, but it still sucks), and they have stupid exclusives that just delay when I get to play games on my platform of choice.
EGS sucking doesn’t make Steam good, it just means EGS sucks.
While GOG’s client kinda sucks, it’s better than EGS and their games are DRM-free. So I’ll give them a pass on their client kinda sucking and not porting to my preferred platform, Linux. I’d just GOG in a heartbeat if they gave half as much attention to Linux as Steam (I don’t want much, just officially endorse Heroic and/or port Galaxy).
You’re mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly
You mean Tim Sweeny, the guy preaching about monopolistic practices while directing his company to take anticompetitive actions in a thinly-veiled attempt to take away consumers’ choice of storefront and create his own monopoly?
It’s more morally acceptable to pirate games than take free games off Epic Games Store. At least in the former case, I’m not supporting their campaign by being a statistic they can boast about.
Actually if you hated EGS so much you should take these free games. Each free game costs them money.
Um… No, I’d bitch about it being on Steam too. I just like actually owning my games.
Also, wow, fucking chill, dude…
People bitch way too much about EGS. Yeah, we get it, it’s not steam and the dude that runs it pissed in their Cheerios once. Claim the free fucking game or don’t.
Every single god damn time there’s a post about a good free game on EGS, there’s always some tool who’s gotta mention how bad EGS sucks and that they only play the finest Linux games available. They act like they are stuck up losers. Let’s be completely honest. Gaming on Linux still blows.
Nobody gives a shit about your Linux gaming. Nobody gives a shit if you like Steam more. Nobody gives a shit if you have a beef with Tim Sweeny.
Just shut the fuck up already.
It’s even worse when you’re old enough to remember the same kind of people that were complaining about Valve creating Steam and forcing them to download it in order to play their games and then complaining that non-Valve games were starting to depend on having Steam installed and having to download part of the game at a time when bandwidth sucked… The same kind of people were saying they would forever boycott Steam but today they’re made that someone tried to break the status quo again.
Got excited until I realized it wasn’t the Outer Wilds…
Outer Worlds is a fun game. Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.
I avoided the dlc for ages because I couldn’t see how it could top the main game. And then it did anyway.
Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.
Me too, but because I mehhed it so hard that I was unable to finish it. Nice vibes though and fascinating premise, but the gameplay sucked for me and the story wasn’t compelling enough to counter that.
And I barely failed to get a refund in time :-|
Another note: The “base game” on giveaway is the full game, don’t buy the Add-on. That’s for people to upgrade from the original+DLCs to the remaster, only useful when not on free giveaway.
Apparently this is the Spacer’s Choice Edition. A remaster by another studio which some people don’t like.
There’s stuff on nexusmods which fixes it, but I don’t know if they’re any good.
