On a related note, every year I look to see what the price of Red Dead Redemption 2 is because I wanted to play it on PC but I didn't want to spend a lot to rebuy it, and every year it's too much for me to consider it. But now it's super cheap on Epic and you get a 25% off coupon on top of it, so I might just finally get on with it.

That would be great, except I'm pretty determined not to use the Epic Store.

Day 8

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel

Are the first two the original Fallout games? I always assumed the series is FPS RPG but it's not?

Is anyone encountering a bug where the Fallout games aren't even showing up in your library in the Epic Games launcher?

It's not just the 3 free games from today but even Fallout 3 isn't appearing which was free awhile back.

Yes, theyre not DOS or anything like that. You may need to mess with display settings, a widescreen with high resolution can make things that are in the environment hard to see. Other than that they work. There are fan patches that fix various bugs that are worth looking into but the vanilla games as-is are fine too

Same. Just wait a few hours for things to calm down.

According to Wario64, tomorrow game is F.I.S.T., an acclaimed Metroidvania. Almost bought it two weeks ago, so I'm thrilled I waited.

Looks like its now just the base game thats free, you have to pay for the Directors Cut

that sounds like something that will get changed back due to backlash

I didn't see the free games section like I normally do, but just doing a search for Death Stranding got me there. I had to click on "Get" like 3 or 4 times before it loaded properly.

I will also never play it.

They're not changing the layout on purpose, the servers are just struggling under the Kojima Crush and not loading all the usual elements.

Was able to redeem it finally but...it's the base game?

You know, this is absolutely disgusting
If it was like this since the beginning, FINE, but the Director Cut version was free! I was just unable to redeem it because server issues

(And please don't "you have no right to complain about a free game" me, again - if it was base DS from the beginning I would be ok with this, but it wasn't)

It's like $6-10 to upgrade to the director's cut once you own the original (search for Death Stranding Upgrade), which isn't really a big deal but it does feel bad because of the error. They clearly put the wrong version up on accident.

Well that was all underwhelming
Besides Death Stranding (and that left a bad taste too) all the free games were kinda low profile
Also the "big one" being just one Dishonored after last year spoiled us with the Tom Raider trilogy

Edit - yeah Fallout are not low profile either but they were the first games, not 3, Las Vegas...or 4

Dishonored 1 and 2 and DLC have been free with gamepass for years. Honestly a lot of this stuff has popped up on gamepass over the past few years. (It's a great deal if you PC game subscribe to gamepass)

But eh, free is free.
