Fabulous giveaway indeed. But I will not install epic software yet. We need better tools that aren't so suspicious when installed into our system. I wait for scientific testing of that installer and its activity in a PC when running and then I will decide to use it or not.

The 6 Batman(Manbat) games has to be the best giveaway to date.
Almost ridiculous really.

This might be a sign that they're getting desperate.

Well for user base yes perhaps; Yet they make unreal engine,so they will possibly never have to worry about much.

They’re doing fine. Asylum and City are old, with nearly everybody having played Asylum, and Knight never did well due to having massive performance and crashing problems. Eventually fixed, but the damage was done.

They have quite a few good games, and I’m already up to 10 that I actually bought.

My Steam drive needs room for upcoming games. Since these are free I’ll get them for my EGS drive. Win-win for me.

It still sucks sweaty balls, but I have to admit that the Batman bundle is too good to pass on, have to finally register to that crap.

I've never played any Batman games, but free is free

64K · Sep 21, 2019

I picked up Arkham Knight and all 3 of the Lego Star Wars games. I may never get to play the Lego games but as people say. Free is good.

On the 26th Epic will be giving away Metro 2033 Redux. I've had the original for a long time and very much enjoy replaying it but not the Redux so I will pick that up as well.

I'll give you candy, now come with me to that dark alley. Everybody likes free candy!

Two more days to go until the next free games. If the Batman giveaway didn't get you to jump maybe this will?

Well the greenleaf is legal in Canada now so we would stay a while in the alley :toast:

. I know I am going to enjoy the heck out of Metro 2033 REDUX for sure regardless of the business end of Epic I as an end user have bought exactly one game (Rebel Galaxy Outlaw) and own 20 games. I get no correspondence from EPic other than free game offers and new releases. Between this and Humble Monthly you could build a seriously nice diverse gaming library quite quickly.

Splinterdog · Sep 24, 2019

Shame I already have Metro in my Steam library :cool:

What's interesting is that Arkham Origins are not on the list... Probably both Epic and WB are ashamed of putting this abomination in store (even for free).

I liked Origins. Hell, I loved all of the Arkham games, even if I did have to get Knight on PS4 just to make the damned thing playable.

Arkham Knight wasn't that bad (even initially, especially if you had NVidia GPU). Beat it on my old rig w/ GTX750Ti without a hitch. Now it runs fine 'cause WB brought lots of bad publicity with this and was publicly obligated to patch the game and fix issues.
Origins weren't as hyped up at the time as AK, so WB had a chance to ignore/downplay issues and sweep everything under the rug. I think this game was the one that killed all of my trust in WB Games.
I don't think I ever finished this game, because every playthrough ends up with a game-breaking or progression-stopping bug (I've tried ma-a-a-any times).

That's weird. I bought Origins when it first came out and never had an issue with it. Was running my GTX770 at the time. In fact, the only problem I've ever had with any batman game was Arkham City, I got it brand new in the box from Best Buy, and there was no steam key inside lol.

GoldenX · Sep 24, 2019

I had to work around so many bugs on BA Origin...

I'd rather buy something on GOG than get it free on EGS.

Same here. I have, in fact, done that a few times. It was a few years ago. The XCom 2012 remake was being given away on Steam, but I still bought it on GOG. I have and will happily pay for a DRM free version of a game than get a DRM version for free.

Sounds about right but that part of me that wanted those games capitulated and snapped them up. 6 free games is pretty nice, and if they do their once a week free games promos I'll just keep grabbing them, will probably never buy from there but free games are free games. :cool:

Nice make sure you get all the mods including proper Joystick support. There are some really serious add on mods for full new game play too.

The original Freespace is still my favourite game of all time, even in the year 2019. I even own the expansion pack "Silent Threat".

I own the limited edition of Freespace 2 which has the expansion pack ( 3 CD ). Only 2000 were made.
