It's an awesome game with the best janitor ever. I recommend this.

Made in collaboration with Canton?

It's a $30 game normally and is highly rated. I grabbed it earlier today.

I mean sure, nice and all....but then I have to make an Epic Games account....

I would still rather PAY for the GOG version that has no DRM than use this version for free. And before anyone asks, yes I grabbed this version already for testing.

Thanks Epic. I created my account.

Do I care enough to give my personal data to yet another scummy corporation for a 20$ handout? Nah, pass. It's a 16 euro game on GOG and I already have an account filled with fake data there.

Really? It kept complaining about an internet conncetion where is my copy from GOG has never once prompted about a connection.

Too much hassle. Also, on GOG I can download an offline copy without having to install their data mining crapware.

Great game I picked up the Ultimate Edition the last time it was on sale at GOG.com. Great game and the DLCs are intergrated well within the actual core game itself.

This too!

Always a good time to grab a popcorn and read the comments when there is an Epic Games news post.

Thats how Epic works unfortunately, without working internet connection you cannot play any games.

i still grab all the free games on epic every week, i have a massive library there now. I have never downloaded the EGS though. i figure even if I never download that client, when my niece gets her own PC (probably in a few years when she is bit older) she will have a MASSIVE collection of games to pick from for free thanks to me.

 

[Chomiq]

Added to my library but I probably won't play until I finally upgrade my GPU. There's plenty of backlog left anyway so I'm in no rush.

I got the game on GoG last time a sale came through or....had a special discount email come through, either way I got a copy of the Ultimate Edition for pretty cheap.

It only took about 10 hours to get through the end game. Or at least what seems to be the end game? After the credits you can keep playing and unravel more story, but I thought the game kind of got a little dull. The combat is pretty good for a while, but it just becomes repetitive and some of the powers felt like they took too long to be useful over simply just picking up items and hurling them at bad guys.

I do have to say that I really did enjoy picking up forklifts and hurtling them at bad guys, that was always fun to do.

How so ? I am able to play a couple of game without EGS even launched

Yeah, and it's super lame sauce. Very dumb.

 

[tomc100]

I already got this game free when I bought the EVGA rtx 2080 super several years ago. I still haven't had time to play it. I got several games on steam that I need to finish playing first.

Anyone ever accidentally leave the Epic launcher running for a while? You come back to the entire right side of the screen covered in ads from it. That's why I hate it. I paid for games, and instead they gave me adware.

That's only under certain conditions. If it's been longer than a certain time, login is required, just like with Steam.

However, we're getting off-topic. Let's rope it in folks..
