I'm guessing that everyone who checks this thread knows this already, but Limbo is free on Epic until July 25. To the two of you that don't own it yet: those years of waiting just payed off!

Again, that's Braid, but doesn't the whole ending kind of villify him for it anyway? I don't think the story's very well-done but I remember the takeaway being "she's not into you, get over it"

Uplay will have a free trial of their subscription service in September.

Origin access has been good. Maybe uplay+ will be too.

The lineup is pretty good and includes some old gems (all the old Settlers games, Heroes of Might and Magic, etc...). Plus, everything seems to include most of the DLC, which is something not even the pricier Origin Access gas.

it was a lot more defensible before jon blow showed his rear end on twitter about what he thinks of women (especially women developers) a few times + it's equally likely he accidentally fell into that reading of the game's story

it's pretty explicitly a "wait maybe I'm the bad guy here" story the whole mechanic of the last stage is you rushing to save the princess while she flees from the other dude and opens your path, then it plays in reverse so she's running to him from you and throwing blocks in your path instead but even with the fantasy framing it still has that "she's someone else's property now" vibe

either way it's got that classic Nice Guy flavour so even if he is m'lady I shall graciously withdraw my attentions it still fits the douche pattern

Yeah, good call, dunno why I mixed those up.

Ugh, Braid. The core gameplay was clever, but fuuuuuck that story.

Pretty decent mix in the new Twitch Prime free games for August (requires Twitch Prime / Amazon Prime subscription, though):

Pumped BMX Pro
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
Mable & The Wood
Automachef

Epic Games Store free games through August 9th:

Alan Wake
For Honor

in retrospect the old redtext was a little over the top, I think I was in a bad mood that day. it appears you've learned your lesson about slagging our gods and masters at beamdog but I'm still going to leave this av up because i think its funny

god bless

I've already got it on GOG and pretty much nothing will convince me to get the Epic Launcher but I just want to say that Alan Wake is cool and good.
The gameplay is a big smeh overall but the storyline is Stephen King inspired in the best possible way.

I'm suprised mutant: year zero is on there, I don't remember it releasing that long ago. Maybe it didn't sell all that well?

It was on a Humble Monthly 2 or 3 months after release so I presume it tanked pretty hard but then again Automachef is on Twitch Prime on its release month and Mable & The Wood isn't even out on Steam yet so who knows how anything works anymore.

It has DLC, so maybe they are hoping people will download the game and then decide to buy the DLC.

I think it was on gamepass at launch too so maybe their strategy was to go for as many deals like that as possible instead of just moving units on steam

also it's genuinely kind of quaint to think back to how much poo poo got piled on phil fish for just being abrasive, back when that was the worst you'd hear a gamedev being instead of today's coinflip between "is a horrible misogynist" and "is a literal nazi"
