Well hell, I logged into Epic launcher and after 3 tries I was able to get Grand Theft Auto V.

Not even going to try and download now. Probably be at dial up speeds downloading. Give a few days and it'll be normal.

Agreed. I'll leave it to download when we've hit the sack tonight.

I am unsure of how they think giving so many free game away is going to help, just leave it installed and once ever so often you gain free games.

I have Just Cause 4 & World War Z and i have been a member for just over a month, clearly i don't add all free games, some i know i won't play.

It's called Fortnite. I have bought exactly 2 games on Epic (Control and Jedi Fallen Order). It might be all the users on Fortnite that Epic uses to entice producers to offer free games on the platform and trust me there have been some heavy hitters I never saw Kingdom Come Deliverance or For Honor coming either.

oh well that's nice ... because for sure i would not give them any money after what they did to Paragon ... but for free game, depending if it's some i wanted, i do not mind another launcher

now if only there was an universal launcher that do like Galaxy 2.0 or Playnite (sound too much like Fortnite ... eurgh ... thus GoG Galaxy 2.0 ) but that does not need to launch the launcher to launch the game (and i am about to launch myself against the wall after that ... ) that would be nice ...

Ooof that coupon you get makes Metro Exodus $10. Might get it, cant beat that price. Either that of FC New Dawn for $5. Gonna have to make up my mind.

There's a rumor going on based on an image posted on reddit that the Epic free games are:

GTA V May 14
Civilization VI May 21
Borderlands The Handsome Collection May 28
Ark Survival Evolved June 4

IGN gives out kartrider drift pc

Hitman Sniper is free on Google Play and Apple AppStore (not sure about the second, the link doesn't open and I don't have Apple devices).

well Borderlands will be welcome ... the 2 other are not my teacup even tho i have the last one in my STEAM library and played around 50'ish hours on it (only solo ... no need for something dumber than AI in my game ...

)

on a second thought ... Civ VI ... why not ...

bubbleawsome · May 16, 2020

Haven't they already given away ARK once?

Not unless you see it in their game library. All games that are free for a time are either part of their stable of games to buy, or become so right after.

That game sucks, there's no single player modes, its a just a pvp online racer.
Thanks for the sniper game though

The dynamics of cause and effect. Does anyone still consider competition a bad thing for Gamers?

competition is bad if not having fun ... which is why i usually hate to have anything dumber than a AI in my MP games :laugh:

Boooo. Can't stand games that have more than 3 sequels in its series.

Added to my library anyway to cause financial damage to Epic Games and the low possibility of suffering brain damage at the long future.

Decryptor009 · May 21, 2020

Civ on Epic.

Good luck with that.
