Places I tend to check for free games. Besides the Steamgifts thread. https://isthereanydeal.com/?by=price:asc#/filter:&pl/windows,&price/0.00/0.00,-itchio I have a -itchio flag on it because I dont like any of the itchio games they have for free all the time. Also the banners at the top of isthereanydeal.com usually list freebies. I also check the freebies tab at https://gg.deals/us/ The Humble store will post freebies occasionally https://www.humblebundle.com/store

Its not bitching so much as we have just gotten used to being able to mark it and just download and play it later when we have time. Humble can sometimes be time limited. There are a couple games they gave out that I didn't get in time and cannot access now. It just says "The key for this product has expired".

The only free game that I have ever gotten that I have played, finished and replayed was Subnautica. Most free games that I have come across, and I search on near a daily basis because i am dirt poor, are just meh. OK, but i mean, this is likely why they were free right? Because they either just weren't that good or they are trying to drum up interest in their new one, like in Subnauticas case. e: not that good, is wrong, not appealing to a wide audience is probably a better way to put it.

While I played and finished Freespace 2 at least twice, I probably played and finished Freespace 1 at least 10 times. I always thought it was a much better game, though not as pretty. And the sense of scale hit me a lot more in 1. Something about flight inside those nebulas kinda irritated me though.

Donkringel posted:There needs to be a freelancer bundle or freelancer on steam. I know the generally accepted way is to pirate it, but I'd much rather just buy it again. Either a remastered version or just a version that more readily works with today's hardware and OS. Freelancer is unavailable to buy anymore other than something like ebay if you can find it. Microsofts page is just a 404 now. Oh you can buy it used on Amazon, for $50. Oh, it seems even if you own Freelancer you still need to crack it because something in win7 and later screwed up its ability to see if the cd is in the tray.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/237870/Planet_Explorers/ Planet Explorers Which is now free because they somehow lost the code to it??? I can't really find a good explanation but thats the basics of it. From the same guys who made My time at Portia. A voxel based open world mining/crafting/hunting type game. It has a story mode or adventure mode (randomized maps with randomized quest givers) or just plain sandbox. It has voxel based crafting of guns, swords, cars, boats and air vehicles. Which you can save the designs of (called ISOs) or from the main menu, download others creations. If you can think of a sword or gun from a movie or game, you can make it, or chances are, someone already has. It had a decent rating on Steam before, but when they hosed up and just decided to put it up for free instead, it really pissed off angry nerds who had paid for it who then started leaving bad reviews. Its a little slow, but if you enjoy open world crafting games, its pretty decent.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/298610/Ylands/ Ylands has just gone free to play. Its a fun little sailing/driving/crafting/exploration game. Bought it at least a year ago and have only ever played single player. But I like it. Now single player is a pay option while multiplayer still looks to be free. Though I may be wrong about this. In game currency buys stuff like servers, emotes, costumes and blueprints for houses/cars etc. I think its free to join a sever but about $7/m to rent one.

I hope one day that EGS figures out how to do a shopping cart. Amazon music had that problem a long time ago, where if I wanted 3 songs from an album I had to make 3 transactions. My card was always blocking me for sketchy transactions. Luckily thats not the case here.

zharmad posted:It kicks over to epic for the install but after the install you can exit epic and launch directly from galaxy. OR, if you don't use GOG, you can still launch 'some' of the games directly from the desktop. Some games (FTL, Shadow Tactics) can be run straight from their exe. While some games (Subnautica) cannot. Though you would still need EGS installed to install them. You, of course, don't have to buy from them, I don't but more than happy to take their free poo poo.

Samuringa posted:From the games that I have actually paid for, Hades and Outer Wilds booted fine from Steam, while Shakedown Hawaii needed to be directly from the EGS client. Doesn't seem like there's any logic to it aside from what the dev probably needed so just ask beforehand. I'm guessing anything that's Unity based must be hooked directly in.

Somewhat related, interest in Plague inc skyrocketed and became the #1 app in China They had to state, "Please remember that Plague Inc. is a game, not a scientific model and that the currentcoronavirus outbreak is a very real situation which is impacting a huge number of people," the statement reads, in part. "We would always recommend that players get their information directly from local and global health authorities." And on topic, I have Carcassonne on steam and its a pretty fun game.
