crispy4000 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Epic Games WWW.EPICGAMES.COM First game goes live in a few hours. Last year had some good stuff: Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy, Remnant from the Ashes and Control among others. $10 coupons also make a return, applying to any game $14.99 or above. Bonus for Amazon Prime subscribers: Dishonored 2 is a redeemable later this month starting on the 27th, alongside a bunch of SNK arcade games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 A mobile game is the first one? My expectations have lowered significantly. People buy more Fortnite skins so I can get some better games for free. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloons games are supposed to be best in class tower defense games, if you're into that sort of thing. Could be a worse start IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Last year they started off with the best games and ended with the worst game. Perhaps they are doing the opposite this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Epic has done away with $10 off coupon. It's actually just a 25% Off Coupon now which is okay but not amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. They started with Senmue III last year. Either way, no reason to worry with Bloons being the first game. It will get better!

crispy4000 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 On the topic of $10 off coupons, Ubisoft is doing one if you spend $20. Use code HOLIDAY22. I can still purchase Immortals Gold Edition for $15 that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 I'd like to see some older indies that haven't gotten super steep discounts or bundles, or don't anymore. Games like Obra Dinn, Freedom Planet, The Pathless, Bug Fables, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Owlboy, The Mummy Demastered, etc. As for AAA , Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers combo maybe? That might be just silly enough to happen with the chip on Square's shoulder. Epic's given away multiple Batman games before, so hey, it could happen. Even more pie in the sky would be a Crash Team Racing PC port, which has yet to materialize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 That's just the (small) price of success for them. Think about how many other kid-marketed multiplayer games out there enable voice chat by default and give no resistance to transactions whatsoever. It's not okay, but no company in the industry gives a shit about 'protecting' kids from voice chat beyond Nintendo, who is equally absurd about it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of whales are minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
