Cheers, claimed!
Epic is giving away big games for the next few weeks again
- Thread starter Dark Light
- Start date
I read that Outerworlds is free again next week.
I meant to get that when it was free over the Christmas period but I accidentally allocated it to my son's account. Very happy to see its back out for free, I was going to buy it next time I was in the market for an RPG

Yes it does
If you like fallout 3/4/New Vegas then you'll like this, it plays similar to fallout games but with much better graphics

Theif is also going free at the same time as Outer Worlds
Oh nice. I don't know what kind of game I assumed this was, but fallout style wasn't it.
I'll give it a try, especially for free.
Just for a bit of contrast, I did like all the fallout games but I hated outer words. It just felt like fallout-lite.
As said though, worth a go for free.
I liked Outer Worlds but it was very Fallout-Lite - I felt it was quite shallow in contrast, enjoyable for a singular playthrough but not got the longevity the Bethesda offerings have.
That said, it shows why Obsidian are renowned for their writing as I felt the writing much better than what Bethesda throw out.
Maybe they should make a game together.... again.
I hated Outer Worlds as well. Maybe hate isn't the right word. As hate would mean the game stirred some emotion in me. It didn't. The first planet is the best, as it's the honeymoon period in the game where you learn about everything and it's all new etc. But after that it became tedious. The combat was poor, all the planets felt very samey, nothing really changed. It was a completely bland, uninspiring and forgettable game. I don't know how anyone can compare it favourably to the Fallout games.

Outerworlds is free apparently atm.

Ghost Runner this week!
It's that time of the year again, 4 meaningful games. What are everyone's predictions?
I'm going to say;
Metro Exodus, highly likely, hopefully the complete edition
Kingdom Come Deliverance
Doom 2016 and/or Eternal
Wolfenstien game(s)
Quake Campions andor some or all Quake games
South Park RPG game(s)
Elder Scrolls Morrowind
Crysis remastered collection
Dying Light platinum
Dead Island remastered and maybe Retro or Rampage
Indiana Jones games maybe with some classic LucusArts games
S.T.A.L.K.E.R games(s)
Mass Effect games(s) (probably not due to EA)
Hitman game(s)
Tom Clansy game(s)
Star Wars game(s)
Yakuza: Like a Dragon or other Yakuza games
Prince of Persia/Assassin's Creed games(s)
Hades
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Tekken game(s)
Fallout new Vagus
Back 4 Blood
There is generally a reason for the giveaways, Ark promoted Ark 2 for example, Borderlands 2 promoted 3 and 3 the DLC. Metro is almost certain at some point due to Metro 4 and the other games I predicted promote sequels, DLC or microtransactions. Also need to consider which devs/publishers generally partake. Unlikely to get highly popular games' predecessors such as Helldivers or Bloodlines 2.
So you just need to think which "headline" games meet those criteria.

Seems like the first game is Watch Dogs: Legion.

Out of interest where are you getting this from? I thought the rumour was Dragon Age Inquisition.

Guess we'll see in 16h!
On a bit of a tangent, is anyone having trouble logging in to their Twitch account (was trying to claim some Prime Gaming games to my EGS last night)? Seems you can no longer log in via Amazon/email address and I'm having no luck with either SMS or email reset (I have MFA for Epic but not for Twitch)

From the clue, extracted the frames via VLC, it seemed pretty obvious to me, but I might be mistaken.
I claim mine from Amazon gaming, I thought they stopped claiming via Twitch ages ago.

Yeah it was telling me to link my twitch account to claim, they eventually came through on EGS anyway (Chivalry 2 and Electrician Sim), but wanted to log in to Twitch for other reasons (to try and claim a beta key for Breakout Infinite)... I'll try other means/ask in the thread for that game/start a new thread as it's pretty off topic for this one!
WD:Legion would be great, as I already have the first 2 on Ubi...although I've never got around to playing them
Got around 400+ games on Steam (lots of them from Humble) and I haven't played many of them lmao

I was just going off what someone posted on Reddit, but now I've looked at the clue myself it does seem to point towards a Watchdogs game.
