Free Games Thread

Some kind of tower defence free on GOG:

Just fyi to everyone, I have beat this game twice, its super ******* fun and highly underrated. Really good and unique mechanics.

I actually never bought the DLC and this is the complete edition so grabbing it now....


in other news EGS won't let me grab the tomb raider games for free, just keeps saying error in store. dang.


edit: xmorph isnt free anymore... i missed it. damnit. :(
 
really wanted SOTR for the benchmark but . .

not worth the aggravation today.
 
They are getting hammered lol..
 
Twitter don't use much bandwidth.

Epic Games give away free downloadable games, and they don't make a lot of income like Steam and Netflix because we're all there just for the free stuff.

I'm on EPS for years, have maybe 100 games, and so far I bought just one game for ten bucks in a special promotion.
At least I didn't see THAT bad slowdown as when they gave GTA V.
 
Just use the EPS website it loads faster.

website is giving error too. its just overloaded

i'll try again at like 2am when rest of the suckers are sleeping and it will work then i bet
 
All three are free until the 6th at 8:00am (either Pacific, or your local time ??)

Yeah until 18:00 on my timezone. I guess they're the last giveaways as they're offered longer? And it also says that Gods Will Fall will be available then.

tried that first.

but now i went back to get a screen shot - all 3 went though. :p

thanks, i was walking away. guess i'm getting more impatient w/age.

I'd say that as we have got used to fast internet connections, we get more and more impatient. Back in the day waiting was perfectly normal. :D
 
LOL i had thoughts of 2400 baud modems from years (geezuz decades i mean!) ago
 
we get more and more impatient.
I don't. I understand the system and the machines that run it. I understand that bottlenecks happen at times. And to remark on-topic, when Epic gives away several of the most popular games of the last few years, bandwidth is going to suffer. It's simple physics. Patience is a given. If downloads are taking a long time, wait a week. The games will still be there.

Yeah I know and understand that their systems are heavy loaded when it's an AAA game they're giving. :toast:
 
Yeah, giving away the Tomb Raider trilogy is massively good deal. The only other real shortage was when they gave away GTA5.

Some people forget Steam used to crap out every time back when they had good sales. Imagine if they gave away good games...

Not gonna claim it myself as I already have them on Steam, but it's a must for anyone that doesn't have them yet (unless you're really not into the genre).
 



These seem like the last free games in the holiday promotion. Gods Will Fall is listed for next Thursday. No HUMANKIND for you.

Already had Rise and TR GOTY on Steam but good addition nonetheless, imma a hoarder indeed. I have base game Shadow at Steam but thanks to Epic I got upgrade for free, just import my save game file and I'll be back on icepicks :D
 
Until the 6th... next Thursday, whole week to claim it.
yeah thanks but weekendgeek's screen shot gave me a clue. i spent 15-20 minutes playing F5 roulette in FF and chrome, then tried the launcher, which after a time loaded but failed to recognize what games i had installed, played or anything. i thought what good is a give away if it also stops you from selling games. :fear:

that's when i said screw it i have laundry and other chores planned. . .until you prodded me again, thanks.

its working now, me and a few others just did it smoothly. so yeah folks, go redeem your 3 tomb raider games for free.

hell of a way to end the year, nice job and choice EGS! (though I wish the HUmankind giveaway rumor was true)
 
That was one nice little giveaway with the three TR games

Yeah I don’t know which one but I had one of them on Steam and now I have them all. Really nice freebie finale.
 
Of the 3 free Tomb Raider games
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
crashes on launch unless I select the Direct X 11 option (My video card is Direct X 12_1)

Thought I might mention this in the hope it is useful to someone.
