I'm pretty sure there's a moratorium on debating the finer points of the EGS in this thread

There is.

New Thread Rule:

If a game is free on EGS you can post it absolutely, you can discuss the game, you can enjoy or dislike the game.

You can no longer talk about the pros and cons of EGS. Either make a thread about EGS and discuss it there or try to find the one that used to exist and post there.

No more derails about EGS in this thread.
Thank you kindly all!

Go poo poo up the Epic Store thread so we can go back to arguing about what constitutes a free videogame.

If you want to get really pedantic you can say Digital Extremes (of Xtreme Pinball, Dark Sektor and Warframe fame) made Unreal.

I was sure I'd set it to download via the phone application to my Sony Play Station 4 home computer system but when I tried to find it I couldn't.

Turns out they, for some ungodly reason, named it The Lego Ninjago Movie Game the Game of the Movie and I was looking under L where all my other Lego games are :doh:

The poo poo software we use at work can one up that. It ignores nothing and considers capital and lower case their own alphabets. For example if you have "customer a" and then "CUSTOMER B" customer b is higher on the list because it's in caps

It's probably evaluating the ASCII value of the character rather than prioritizing a = A. ASCII "A" has a value of 65, while lower case "a" is 97. I work with an older language that does this, and it can make some stuff real fun (like when the system is like "I can definitely multiply 'POS' by 5 and get a value to evaluate").

The second EGS mystery giveaway is Civilization VI

That leak correctly called Civ6, so expect Borderlands: The Handsome Collection next week and Ark: Survival Evolved the week after

I vowed never to touch another Civilization after I finally beat Civilization II. But then Civilization Revolution was "free" on Xbox Live Gold so I 100%d that. But no more I swear!

Well, maybe just a few turns to see how it is...

Handsome collection refers to all games featuring Handsome Jack. To be fair, nothing of value is lost by skipping to Borderlands 2. The only thing that you'll miss is that the playable characters from the first game come back as NPCs in the second game. Those characters have literally no personalities in the first game so the only thing you need to know is that they exist.

Yeah that's clearly an internal powerpoint leak. Noice. I haven't paid for any of the borderland games except maybe the first one and haven't finished any of them.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
If anyone decides to buy the Civ VI expansions (which I recommend eventually if you get into it. they're good!) you should know that buying the second expansion, Gathering Storm, gives you access to all the new features/mechanics in the first expansion -- you don't get the civs/leaders from it (and maybe a couple other things) that way, but all the major changes get rolled in. So if you're only buying one, get that one

Yeah Wario64 tweeted that same picture after he tweeted about the Witcher 3 leak. Because it's 2020 and anything posted on the internet is now a leak

Like how some rando shopped up a ps+ announcement and got everyone hyped. And then it was Cities and Farm Sim. At some point people just pivoted to genuinely thinking the internet would never lie.

i was thinking about getting the platinum upgrade which is 50% at 39,99, i remember civ 5 being useless without the whole bundle of dlc. Am I wrong?

But what would I do without ferocious warlords like Genghis Khan, Shaka Zulu and Wilhelmina of the Netherlands?!

It doesn’t look like you can buy those expansions individually on Epic anyway.

So, season pass or nothin'? That sucks.

I was just watching a video on climate change in videogames and apparently Gathering Storm adds those mechanics. I'm not really interested in the base game without that.

His arrogance has inconvenienced me for the last time!! :argh:

Definitely excited to play this one though; I recently got Civ III for free and, while it seems like there's a fun game in there somewhere, it's far too dated to be any fun in 2020 imo. I assume Civ VI will be a lot more friendly to newer players like me (whose only real experience is the loving SNES version of the original Civilization)
