Pikuniku is on Xbox gamepass too, and I started playing it last night. It’s dumb and fun. As a free game you can’t go wrong.

Hello! I've created an account on battle net using [url]https://blizzard.wishpondpages.com but i'm not getting any redeem code on my email account. Am I understanding wrong by thinking this is an URL to request a free Overwatch account or it is for something else?

Is Boston Uprising giving away codes anywhere else?

I'm being asked to enter a code to redeem... but, what code?

Someone or other was giving away codes for Overwatch at https://uprising.overwatchleague.com/en-us/getoverwatch, which swiftly got internet-mobbed and closed, and they apparently gave the wrong URL to redeem them, so if you were quick enough to get a code on 30/9 wishpondpages was the place to have entered them, but it's long dead now, sorry.

It is great, especially for free, but keep in mind it is a much more realism oriented game compared to most modern military shoot games.

Also, make sure you immediately mute voice chat because the racism is literally non-stop.

Both Rising Storm and Red Orchestra were this way. They're some really great games to actually play, but they just have the chuddiest playerbase possible.

I'm looking for an Arma replacement, so the realism doesn't bother me. The racism appears to be non-negotiable in this loving genre though.

Firstly, thanks to this thread for mentioning Epic every Thursday, because I never remember myself.

Secondly, has anyone played Star Wars Squadron on Epic? I honestly don't know Epic really works as I've only either ever accessed it through GOG Galaxy, but I have a thing for Star Wars space shooters and I have a $10 coupon. I'd buy it on PS4 but I'm not paying for PS+.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe all EA games are like Ubisoft games where it forces you to launch Origin to run the game, just like Ubi forces Uplay to boot on Steam. If I'm wrong on this, let me know.

I heard that EA games on Steam/EGS do launch through "Origin", but it's a lightweight version of Origin that only runs while the game is running. It's just a thin layer to authenticate your EA account.

Haven't bought any of the newer EA games on Steam yet though so haven't used it myself.

You dont launch Origin, you just have to log in to origin in game the first time you launch the game.

Do you have that bundle listed below it for $8?
Someone on discord also mentioned the linked worked but they had that bundle.

So maybe something in that is like a front end or something, dunno.

I get that error like 9 times out of 10 on steam's site after logging in; going back to the original page and clicking add again always works.
f.e.: The error's something like 'invalid link.' I suppose their redirect chokes on something after logging in.

I personally really enjoy Rising Storm 2, for me it's the right balance between action filled and fun, and satisfyingly tactical and realistic. MGs , flanking, and teamwork are useful, but you don't walk for 20 minutes then die immediately. As others have pointed out though the racism is very present. Custom servers do help with this somewhat

Any recommendations out of the 13 pages here? One I've enjoyed is Lovely Planet, an abstract run-and-gun FPS with a great soundtrack. Also Cosmic Pioneer looks like an upgraded Lunar Lander, which was great fun.

Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages is a top-down space shooter with an absurd amount of content.
Space Pilgrim is a cheap RPGMaker point-and-click series that's surprisingly good.

Spirits of Xanadu is pretty great and one of only a few games on that list I wouldn't call shovelware. Gateways is another. I'd happily pay for both of them (and I did! years ago!)
