The original Freespace is still my favourite game of all time, even in the year 2019. I even own the expansion pack "Silent Threat".

I own the limited edition of Freespace 2 which has the expansion pack ( 3 CD ).

You like Freespace better than 2? Have you checked out the mods for it?

I find Freespace voice over is better than 2. Also the original it is not clear you must destroy every ship. Even thou you are told to destroy it, if you capture it by disarming & disabling it's engines you get a bonus on some missions.

I have seen mods but i'm unable to play this game without my "Gravis Analog Pro" ( 15 pin ) getting rare. Need to find a way to connect this to a modern computer.

Man you are making me wax nostalgic, I loved that Flight stick. The Thrustmaster T-1600 line is pretty good and not expensive compared to some others. I truly wish that we could get games made like Freespace 2 with a nice structured campaign. I would love to see something like a Freespace based game with the plot tree of the original Colony Wars on the PS1 come to PC.

I think he means the storyline. BITD, there was an even divide of people who like the first one better.

Understandable, I liked the first one but once I got the 2nd and the source code was released into the wild I could not look back.

It's a game and it's free, best to put free games in the free game thread, I am guessing the last page or two are the recent ones, not sure why anyone would want to go back a few years to find a game that is free this week.

I've had the original Metro 2033 on Steam for a long time but I got the free game from Epic because it is the Redux version. Definitely sharper with more detail. It's one of my games that I replay every few years so I will enjoy it.

I grabbed it too, although I am having trouble with the download manager/launcher link but have not tried to troubleshoot it yet.

Are you launching the game from the executable? With me EGS didn't put it on my desktop. They put something on the desktop that wasn't the launcher so I copy/pasted the executable icon onto my desktop from the Metro 2033 folder.

Got there in the end, it was my AV, disabled it and the download launcher linked and downloaded.

Splinterdog · Oct 4, 2019

Not sure if this fits here, but if you download the Rockstar Games Launcher before 9th October, they'll give you a 'bonus free copy of GTA: San Andreas'. Yes, it's another launcher

Downloading now to see how this works out. Not that I'm cynical or anything...

https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/rockstar-games-launcher

Edit:
Ah yes, it means that in future all Rockstar games will need their launcher to run.
This seems like an epic move to cut out Steam, in the long run.

It’s ok and unobtrusive. I have it for GTA5, Max Payne 3 and LA Noire.

Ditto I had Social Club GTAV anyway It’s cool it sees your Steam games(LA Noire, Max Payne 3)

Splinterdog · Oct 4, 2019

Installed it no problem and it's just another game launcher as far as I'm concerned.
Also, I claimed the free game, GTA: San Andreas which I may get around to playing when it jumps up the already expanding queue of free games.

I will say Everything is one hell of a strange game.

Destiny 2 is F2P on Steam! Haven't been a big fan, pretty much missed the entire series, but my younger bro played the s$#t out of it on PS4 (bought the console just for Destiny 1 at launch).
