Dont forget your free game gais

This time its Pathways

[Sasquach]

So the triple A title run has ended and its back to free indies.

I thought Escapists 2 was supposed to also be free...but it seems to have disappeared

Free is still free!

[Crawdaddy79]

Pathway - 18% Critic Recommend score. Ouch. Surely the developer is happy to take pennies on the dollar from Epic for every free copy claimed.

[John C Flett]

Escapists 2 was probably the better title but it likes like it's been delayed.

Escapists 2 is delayed as Epic has issues releasing it. Should be out soon.

[azalea]

Being efficient escapes them.

The issue could potentially have something to do with Geforce Now

In addition to new games being added to the service, NVIDIA has a couple of other interesting nuggets of information to talk about this week. One is that the team is working with Epic Games to bring the Epic Vault weekly free titles to GeForce Now, with the current work-in-progress being The Escapists 2

There's Conan Exiles coming, 2nd-9th July. It's double A at least.

[CyanBlues]

conan's pretty good game, I enjoyed it, unlike most survival/crafting game it's semi has a story and you can find conan in the game.

[Crawdaddy79]

Full nudity. That's why you want Conan.

Not anymore, they've removed it. Now all we get is something called Hue.

[borat]

Hue is really good if you like interesting 2D platformers. Sure, it borrows too much from Limbo in how it looks, but it's worth at least a try.

[John C Flett]

Hue is decent enough and I wasn't that interested in Conan. However, it doesn't do much for their credibility that they keep promising games then pulling them. Given that we only get a weeks notice you would think that everything should have been planned and sorted long before we're told.

[Munkus]

I wonder if the CGI nudity played a role in Epic deciding to remove it from the free list. Apparently you can make your toon in Conan quite...well endowed.

[zizbuka]

Just going by pics, I thought Conan was something I'd be interested in. Apparently it's an MMO, so interest lost.

It doesn't have to be. You start your own private game and it's more survival sandbox than it is MMO. It is grindy, though...

After grinding through most of dark souls one, dying over and over and over again, I don't think I have it in me to do another grind of constant dying. Those games are a bit over the line between challenge and frustration, well into the frustration zone.

Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet, and The Escapists 2 are free this week.

[Crawdaddy79]

Torchlight 2 available now.

Looks like Torchlight 1.

[xCLAVEx]

Torchlight 2 available now.

Looks like Torchlight 1.

T2 was the last great torchlight. I was almost ready to insta-buy T3 and then I heard they've nerfed the gameplay completely and a lot of folks are saying it plays like a cookie cutter cell phone game.

Unless they do a LOT of changes in the near future, it may not be worth even trying.

But T2 is a good one.

[A2597]

Yeah, T2 was great.

GOG Galaxy has official integration for Epic Games now. For now that means better stability on keeping connected, potentially means faster integration of other features from Epic as they are released.

I gave up on Gog Galaxy 2.0 because it kept disconnecting everything - Steam, Epic, Origin, Uplay, you name it.

Really? That's.... not great. I'll have to be on the lookout for future problems.

I just installed it for the first time last night. There was one small hiccup with connecting to Xbox but 10 minutes later I was launching gamepass games from GOG Galaxy 2.0. Epic, Origin, Uplay, Steam, Xbox all in once place and with pretty little pictures for each game!

[theshadowcult]

Dont forget its still iin beta.

Yeah it's convenient when it works, but every time I log out and back in, all of the services are disconnected, and reconnecting doesn't work. Have to delete and re-add them. Maybe it was just me, I dunno.

Second day seemed alright...

[Mangler]

When are the mother****ers at epic going to add achievements?

[Sasquach]

When are the mother****ers at epic going to add achievements?

[Fuku2]

When are the mother****ers at epic going to add achievements?

The first achievement will be "Epic achievements achieved".

It will also be free to everyone starting on some Thursday for a whooooooled week.

[Sundance Kid V2]

yea I'm waiting too.

[Eisberg]

When are the mother****ers at epic going to add achievements?

Last word from Epic is this coming fall, and mod workshop is coming before that.

They do have achievements in testing/polishing.

here is a preview of what it will look like

[Megaman]

Epic said today that "certain games" on the store may now start to display achievements as they're unlocked.

There.....we can all consider dropping Steam as a third part app now.

[Mangler]

Is control one of the games with working achievements?


Looks lie it does not have it yet, at least not according the the egs reddit thingie.
