Even though objectively Steam is a better overall platform than Epic. There is no denying that I am absolutely blown away with what they are giving away. Death Stranding, Dishonored what's next Elden Ring?

There might be unknowingly 20 to 30 TPU users playing with and against each other.

yeah, i was Epic reticent since a long time but also since another long time they redeemed and made my adhesion to their service quite worth it (don't forget Mortal Shell, that souls like is quite awesome imho And F.I.S.T. is also a fun one.) Elden Ring .... eh? ... hum i would prefer God of War (unfortunately not Ragnarök but that one will probably come later to PC ... damn i want Forbidden West ... eh... i can wait 3 years like H:ZD tho ...)

as for Eximius, :laugh:

(tbf, i would think that's kinda awesome)

STEAM ... well i have paid most of my games bare two or three ... Epic, i only paid 2 (Horizon : Zero Dawn and Werewolf Apocalypse : Earthblood) the rest of the 216 were freebies

I thought they did God of War. My gripe with them is mitigated by the fact that you have no seamless library reset if you reset Windows or change the OS. That is lazy programming when the website tells you what you learn by yourself in that you better have at least 2 drives as it is no fun having to re-download all of the files that are sitting on your computer. I got Epic because of a Total War Game and also bought Horizon Zero Dawn, but I also bought Control.

Eximius actually looks decent, I have always liked this idea of the FPS and RTS hybrid game. I will def be giving that one a try.

oh, Eximius look very decent indeed

And, if enough members grab this, we could have a TPU team going on! If 10 or more members grab this, we could have battles against each other.

Hi,

Hell I didn't even like the movie so the game has little hope of me getting anyway.

The bundle contains 3 games that are also sold separately: Chronicles China, Chronicles India, Chronicles Russia.

It means the bundle is for people who don't have any of these games above.

There are some good abandonware games on the Amazon Launcher time to time. Metal Slug, Loom, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Monkey Island.

I mean, I do redeem them. But installing the launcher? Nah...

It took me ages to install the Epic Launcher, and that was only because I wanted to experiment some stuff on PC Building Simulator which I got for free some good time earlier. And I ended up getting addicted to it :laugh:

I actually don't remember. Since so many Great Games have been released maybe it was a Hardware promotion but I know I did not pay for it. After my last OS reinstall I have exactly 6 Games installed. I haven't bothered to move them from one drive to another....again. It really pissed me off when Epic was making all that noise about Apple. As Steam became much more just matter of fact.

That Game scratches an itch that only a PC hardware nerd would appreciate. The 2nd one is even better.

I'm not elbow-deep in rack servers as much as I used to be, but I thoroughly enjoyed PCBS. My kid had fun with it too; matter of fact, kiddo asked just last night if it's possible to start over. :roll:

The second one looks nice, but I'm not going to give Epic a valid credit card. If they want to make it a freebie, I'll take it; otherwise, I'll wait until it hits Steam or GOG.

See, I'm the other way, I have come to like Epic more than Steam for certain reasons, not that I use either one much anymore. Lately, it's GOG or no money from me. Even the free stuff I'd rather go with GOG. Hell, I'd rather PAY for a game on GOG than get it free on Steam or Epic.
