Anyone else unable to get the free Stories Untold on Epic Game Store? It just stops at the "Loading your order" page. I've tried restarting, quitting the launcher, not having other apps running etc

Dude this is Chex Quest 3, not just the original! I did not realize this at first. Also in a bizarre coincidence, a line in this article...

...Chex Quest developer Charles Jacobi, who has been carrying a torch for the series for decades...

Chex Quest 3 Revision History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.4 changes

- updated source code to ZDoom version 2.3.1


While i haven't run it yet...
The whole zip file is only 8mb

I'd run it now but strangely enough besides City of Heroes(the best free game loving ever), I am actually getting dug into Quake 2 again at the moment.

I keep reading about City of Blank being great but I tried it a few times and it never grabbed me.

Is it because I didn't role-play? Did I just try at a bad time? I will never know

Did you get into a team of goons?
Because its like riding a steamroller down a hill slathered in grease.
Obviously its not for everyone, but I consider it one of the most fun mmos ever made.

The "trick" if there is one is to always be in as full a team as possible.

The current Epic Launcher Free Game is Rime (i don't know for how long but i vaguely remembered the game so was like "sure" and no one else has talked about it)

It's actually an atmospherically great puzzler game except for the camera.

hopefully the problem is that i'm playing it in 4K because jesus it's offensive how often "there's something in between the camera and the main character" makes everything garbage

but it's free!

but you know how "oh but the camera is bad" is kind of a gaming shibboleth? -- in my experience this camera is bad and it's important to mention that the game is good in spite of it

I played it a while ago on steam and thought it was reasonably boring, and the camera completely blows. I can't say I hated it, but I didn't like it enough to stick with it beyond the second chapter or whatever. For the price of free though that's not a bad deal.

I don't have Nitro and I got them with no problems.

EDIT: I'm suspecting Discord put them available only for Nitro subscribers hours after I got them free. That would be a big bullshit move, really.

This is a cool concept and it's done well, but i feel like the combat is kinda sluggish. I wish it was just little faster paced. It's still pretty fun.

Looks like you only need an account if you want to add it to their game library thing, there's a direct download link that doesn't require logging in.

Hey does anyone know how the free epic games benefits the creators? Is it just one lump sum they're getting, or does epic pay them on a per claimed game? Just wondering if I'm helping each creator by claiming the free game or not.
