I figured I'd throw them a bone and buy Dead Island 2 using their coupon for $26. Since I've been freeloading on their giveaways for a while now. I’m considering it for Kingdom Hearts III. Console versions have bad framerates, and I don’t think it’s getting cheaper than this if I was to wait for a Steam port that may never come.

stepee Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just make sure you backup your save for KH3 if you move to a new pc as it doesn’t support cloud, less you keep forgetting this and have to play through Toy Story world 4 times like me. Idk why developers almost always use cloud saves on Steam but very often don’t on Epic, but they will need to sort that out before I actually buy anything non exclusive there again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep collecting EGS games I will never play. It’s pretty common for Epic to give away stuff from 2 years ago that’s made the rounds on PS+ and Games Pass. I’m not complaining though. I’d take a free copy from Epic over a subscription locked PS+ Essential version. Or time limited access on Games Pass/PS+ Extra. Its one of the best things about EGS giveaways. Many of the games you’d lose access to on console, you now own. Plus PC versions like GotG are preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 DNF Cursed to Golf Saints Row Guardians of the Galaxy Didn't have those and am interested in them so I'm pretty happy with this year's batch! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 the previous years were way better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 For people who haven’t played them I do think Plagues Tale, Guardians, Saints Row, and Ghostrunner are all fun games worth playing out of the remaining ones I’ve played. DNF was also a pretty killer pick. I was happy to get Outter Worlds and Art of Rally, but fell short of 3 games I actually wanted as I already owned those other games up above. I’ll try some of the others I redeemed and 20 minutes til Dawn looks interesting, but man that’s like $3 on Steam right now. So yeah theres good stuff here but the other years were definitely better with more fresh content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Steam sale is coming to a close soon. I might see what dlc is available for my games, but this could be the first biannual sale I pick up nothing since I started with it. The $12 in credit I’ve got isn’t quite enough to cover most of the SquareEnix games I’d want. Monster Boy & the Cursed Kingdom for $7.50 is tempting, but I’m thinking we’ll see that in a humble bundle or epic giveaway soonish. Guardians could have got me, but as we know, it’s being given away. Is Lego Skywalker Saga worth it? Ahead of picking up Nier Automata or FFXV the next sale? That’s the choice as I see it.

Lego Skywalker is very good and definitely the best of the lego games I’ve played besides Undercover imo. The only complaint people mention seems to be it does a more shortened version of the story for each movie than the original releases did, but I think that might be a good thing considering the content on hand here. Tons of optional content and worlds to explore, you could spend a lot of time here or just blast through the movies. It looks great and plays a lot better with the new camera and more action like loves and even combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, if you have part of a bundle on Steam, buying the bundle gives just what you're missing. So if you do want the first game, you can get it with the 81% bundle discount instead of 75% off. I think it will automatically add the bundle if you try to buy just DOS since you already have DOS2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may have phrased that poorly, Epic most certainly does support cloud saves and they work fine. But for whatever reason it’s very hit and miss which games do or do not support it whereas with Steam it seems very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I think that's probably because EGS backs up the save data when it's stored either in My Documents or AppData. Steam forces games to store their save data on one central Steam userdata folder. I'm guessing games that don't support EGS cloud saves didn't put their save data in a normal place and did something like store them in a game's own directory or something weird like that. There's probably some way to flag your save data location for EGS, but some game publishers/devs probably aren't bothering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game just straight up disabled cloud saves. That's wild. Save data is in a totally normal place. I haven't seen anything from the devs explaining why. That's as obnoxious as Gamefreak disabling cloud saves for Switch Pokemon games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Cloud support is one of the most important things for me when buying a game. Not having to worry about losing progress over the years and being able to easily move between machines is one of the main perks to actually owning a game for me. I’m looking forward to getting emudecks cross platform cloud saves because that has been so annoying over the years starting over classic games. One of the main reasons I got the MGS collection was just to finally have cloud saves for those to keep forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 99% of my gaming on one PC, and rarely use a save that wasn't already installed on that PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
