So, just to be clear, I've gotta make a Blizzard account and sign up and all that junk to download and get the game when it unlocks?

Yes, you have to have an account with their free, low hassle online system to download the free game they're giving away.

No, battle.net is super painless.

Unless you somehow don't have an email address. Do you not have an email address? You should get an email address! Its all you need for this free AAA developer's game!

either way having the key right there is nice, I feel like I'd get RSI within 2 minutes trying that other one. Or is your thumb meant to go on the C?

Even then it’d be way more comfortable to do like qwe and c.

Couch coop d3 on the PS4 was a really fun time when my wife and I were dating. We’d get high and play video games then make out.


In conclusion, D3 was a great game.

I take the free ones, but I've made a sort of unofficial promise to myself to not ever actually pay money for anything on the Epic store. I'm not sure exactly why, but in large part it is due to the fact that anything there I can get either on GOG, which is my preference, or Steam if I must. I suppose that Epic just doesn't give me a reason to buy from them over other online storefronts.

I finally broke and bought Hitman 3 because those games are my crack.

There's a difference between adding something to your library and actually downloading it.

All of their ‘Claim and keep’ stuff has a button to just add it to your library on my PS4.

Can someone translate this into English?

you build a deck, there are skill checks, where your character's skills matter, rng checks, where a roll of the die matters, and third person combat similar to the arkham batman games.

You haven't been reading the Steam thread have you

Multiple goons have gotten their accounts hijacked over the past idk maybe six months or so because they used their 2FA on a fake Steam page, which then uses that information to immediately log in on the account

lmao

coolguye I'm sorry that I said it was neckbeardy to host your own server with all of your encrypted passwords, and that it might be difficult for less talented computer touchers to do, and that the bitwarden hosting is probably fine, or whatever you're mad about, it's my bad

let’s not have the conversation because it’s not about free games and someone saying it’s ok to use bitesrden’s cloud server storage didn’t harm you in any way. Even if they gently suggested it’s nerdy not to do that.

everyone is still salty as hell because I made fun of all the dumbfucks in this thread who were gonna watch some 2 hour livestream in order to get a fee game code.

and I was right—they all deserved to be shamed into oblivion, because the company posted a link to the game for anyone who wanted it afterwards.

Somehow, in this thread of all threads, this is the most pathetic post that will ever occur.

The hate for Epic is as crazy as the early hate for Steam. Definitely complain about multiple stores, but it's not a Chinese super spy program, it's a mediocre web store for video games.

It's a game where you run around an open area, collecting items that individually do not do much, but when combined allow you to progress further in the game. You fight giant bosses that require you to memorize attack patterns and only attack when the boss is most vulnerable.

Dark Souls is a collectathon platformer, in the vein of Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie.

I'm not proud of this, but I have a Steam Link (and a Steam controller) that I bought on one of those ridiculous 90% off annual sales and I've never used the link. I never really understood what it was for.

You play your steam library on your TV, my wife and I switched off playing Oxygen Not Included and a few others hanging out and chatting while we played. It was a lot of fun.
