I say Chraolic owes us all every game on that list for getting our hopes up......

In reality.....I, and I figure most of us, have a majority of those games anyway.
I was just feigning being upset that I couldn't trust something that was posted on the internet.......it happens so infrequently.....

I only own Borderlands 3. Was really hoping for the Witcher 3 as I've heard good things about it. Oh well.

Tomorrow they're giving away unopened, boxed copies of vanilla WoW: Collector's Edition and a T206 Honus Wagner.

Witcher 3 GOTY edition (with all the DLC) was marked down to $11 during the Steam Autumn sale. I expect we'll see similar for the holiday sale.

Im hoping Christmas Eve will be The Kilrathi Saga boxed.

I do, and was only personally interested in one or two. I was excited for my son, though, who would have loved to play through a few of those.

i still have the original Oddworld on CD for PC, and i used to to have the Playstation 1 version (gave that to my son, as he wanted it). there's a remake of Abe's Exoddus coming out next spring.

based on other Epic giveaways in other countries, some possible upcoming ones?

Jurassic World Evolution, Night in the Woods, Darkest Dungeon, Tropico 5, Inside

Well, I did say it was a rumour, and I saw articles about it on two different gaming sites so apparently some people must have thought it plausible enough. With them having given away GTA V and a brand new Total War game recently I guess all bets were off. Anyway, I suppose this list seems more credible.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:27 pm**

I'll let you know my opinion after I back into the next room so I can read the list.

Yeah. I copied it from elsewhere and discovered that evidently this messageboard doesn't resize images.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:40 pm**

No worries. I believe it resizes based on width only. We do have the bigimg tag.

Clearly wrong since the title is "My Time at Portia"!

Didn't they just recently give away Torchlight 2?

Five months ago. They had a couple repeats last christmas too so that part sounds about right.

Far Cry 5 Gold for $<9 bucks (with coupon) is hard to beat. Of course, I have to play 4 and Primal first.

Alien: Isolation is free today and to go along with that, here is an article from PCGamesN originally published in 2014, How Creative Assembly designed Alien: Isolation’s terrifyingly clever xenomorph

Excerpt:

Alien: Isolation burst out of Creative Assembly’s chest yesterday, splattering previews all over the internet and making us spill our collective cereal — here is my Alien: Isolation preview, in case you’re interested in finding out more. The game plays, in the parts we’ve been shown at least, like Amnesia in space, with only a solitary, highly intelligent and free-roaming xenomorph forming the game’s horror centrepiece.

Gary Napper, lead designer at Creative Assembly, and Jude Bond, lead artist, spoke to me about how to create a truly terrifying artificial intelligence, what they thought of recent games in the franchise and how Alien: Isolation hopes to sustain a level of tension from start to finish that doesn’t result in heart-stopping fatalities. Come have a look at the words we said to one another.

if you like those extra gamified solitaire card... games... get Solitairica from Epic today

Posted: **Tue Dec 29, 2020 7:03 pm**

Well, I foolishly forgot to grab the games the last few days. Shame, cause some of them are on my wishlist. But I've gotten so many games so not a huge deal.

Torchlight II

Yeah, I remembered today. Only I already had Torchlight 2 in my library from a previous freebie.

Picked this up and have to say it's a nice variant on Solitaire.

GC3 by itself is good, but needs some of the DLC to really have the best experience. And I don't even see the Retribution and Crusade DLC being available on the Epic store.
