^^^ actually it's good to point out when people are using slurs and maybe don't realise it??


it's cool, like I said I've heard it being used a lot lately by people who wouldn't say that kind of stuff (usually non-brits too), so it's extremely weird and it's apparently because of Leon Kennedy or something?

the short version is that there is a very real cost to using EGS, it's just frequently not a monetary one. a lot of people are comfortable paying that price. a lot of people are not. caricaturing the side you're not on is not helpful. now back to your free games schedule.

What's the cost? I'm not seeing it...

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!

Am I allowed to say thank you to coolguye for posting their perspective? I was genuinely curious and found their post to be civilized and explained their point.

As someone who has never played any pinball simulator, except years ago when I tried that open source one, FX3 surprised me with its level of realism. It feels a lot closer to a real table compared to most video game pinballs.

It's fun but goddamn am I bad at pinball

I can believe that. These things are probably planned far in advance and nobody noticed the war game was being offered around that time.
I’m also not sure how big Armistice day is outside of the UK/commonwealth.

Understandable. The death toll that France suffered in the Great War was staggering. They hadn't recovered by the time '39 rolled around. People love to take the piss out of France's failures in World War 2, but it's hard to wage war when one doesn't have any soldiers.

I'm well aware, was just tossing it out there in response to the goon saying they weren't sure if armstice day was important outside of the commonwealth :p

end of ww2 is a national holiday as well

I could tell just by looking at it that it was basically a single-solution puzzle game where the player hits quick save/load more often than the left mouse button, but any game that gets that good of reviews has my attention.

Speaking of entertaining derails, I was thinking about which game I want to see on GOG most of all. I used to say No One Lives Forever, but even moreso I want to see the complete Magic: The Gathering game from the late 90s. It will never happen because Hasbro wants people to play their BS, pay-to-win, somehow-legal-gambling Magic Arena, but I would pay £100 for that game happily. I still have my discs, but I can't get them to run.

There are ways to get it to work. Have a look on youtube I know there's a tutorial. Forget what I did to get it running

Its a very well done hunting game.
I'm not really a fan of games that sell a cheap base game and nickel and dime you with DLC, but I got it cheap awhile back from Humble and have enjoyed my time in it.
Not sure whats going to come with it, but if it has at least a few of the maps or gun packs then its a good game.
Even the starter map is pretty good.

The only DLC that I think are 'mandatory' are the hunting blinds, 4x4 and maybe the tracker dog.

I wouldn't even really consider those mandatory. They do offer some QoL though. The game is great and I sunk a ridiculous amount of time into it before my computer died.
