[Lupin3]

That's a pretty good deal. I can afford that!

PS Plus is crying right now

 

[Thabass]

Grabbed them earlier today. I finally have Arkham Knight on my PC.

 

[Roni]

The Arkham Collection is pretty sweet.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Huh... so catch me up, since I don't use the Epic store -- are these added to your library (like Steam) and downloadable indefinitely? Or are they only free to download during this time frame?

 

[MMaRsu]

Huh... so catch me up, since I don't use the Epic store -- are these added to your library (like Steam) and downloadable indefinitely? Or are they only free to download during this time frame?

They are trying to get people into their ecosystem so these games are free to keep.

Then again if the creepy man in the van offers me some candy, I'm probably not gonna go inside.

Not worth it to risk my account information being stolen or to give them an inch really.

You add them (actually buy them for 0$, no cc required or anything) and you keep them forever

I'm curious about the dozen of millions of people who play Fortnite, if their information was stolen by China.

yes

 

[MMaRsu]

I'm not saying their information is being siphoned to China. I'm saying their security sucks and there have been numerous instances of Epic user accounts being leaked and sold. You can go to a russian website right now and buy Epic accounts with a certain number of games on it.

These are stolen accounts.

 

[Caffeine]

cool I already had them on steam but its nice to have backups elsewhere I guess. and yes someone in italy has tried to access my egs account luckily i had 2 factor.

 

[iorek21]

...not bad

 

[Drake]

I've built up quite the library from all the free stuff they've given me.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I've been redeeming the free games, but I've yet to run any of them mostly on account that I already have them on other platforms.

 

[Manstructiclops]

Guessing WB/Rocksteady is getting ready to announce the next Batman game .

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Free shit? Don't mind if I do!

Even if I already own them elsewhere. Free is free.

 

[Leonidas]

Damn, Epic Games Store for free is killing certain paid game subscription services...

This, together with all the Batman related stuff coming, Also in fortnite, goes Well with that voices of a new Batman game coming from wb Montreal - origins studio -
A voice actor Also teased something


Veeeery good

 

[Kenpachii]

Here's the link:

Batman games

Games included:
- Batman Arkham Asylum
- Batman Arkham City
- Batman Arkham Knight
- Lego Batman The video game
- Lego Batman 2 DC super Heroes
- Lego Batman 3 Beyond Gotham

 

[ResilientBanana]

Count me in.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Can't beat free right?

 

[Tesseract]

arkham asylum holds up incredibly well, everyone should play it (on the hardest difficulty, don't be a pussy)

 

[Fbh]

Nice.
I might give one of the Lego games a try. Which one is considered to be the best?

 

[JSoup]

Nice.
I might give one of the Lego games a try. Which one is considered to be the best?

Don't know about best but:
1 is still an early TT LEGO game. Most of the difficulty comes from obtuse puzzles and finicky physics. It's also mildly glitchy.
2 is more refined and generally more balanced in challenges.
3 is fun and jam packed with stuff, but it's a mess to clean up if you're in it for 100%. Lots of difficult, top-down races, lots timed parkour challenges that either won't allow you to adjust the camera or will adjust if for you five times a second.

 

[888]

Already have them all. But kinda a neat deal to bundle them together for free.

 

[yet_another_alt]

No Steam, no something something
Kinda embrassing now that Sony is only giving out Knight for "free" on PS+ while Epic is handing out the entire trilogy. Two trilogies even.

 

[Shifty]

That's a whole lotta batman.

 

[Dr.D00p]

So that makes 43 games I've now claimed on EPIC store for free and yet I haven't downloaded or played a single one of them....It sometimes feels like having 'free stuff' just for the sake of it and they have no real value anymore.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I don't even have a gaming PC and I claimed these lol.

 

[What A Shame...]

I'll get them and resell them once France have their way.

 

[Strider7]

Fingers crossed that this, in conjunction with the Fortnite Batman crossover and Batman day are building up to a new Arkham game announcement. Please.

I thought all the hints were pointing at Superman or something?
In game, that is.

 

[Strider7]

Well, I believe the latest rumors are that WB Montreal is doing a new Arkham game, while Rocksteady is doing some sort of create-a-superhero or Justice League type game.

 

[Weilthain]

Jokes on you epic I already bought those games.. wait

 

[sol_bad]

Nice try Epic. No thanks you.

 

[T-Cake]

I don't even have a gaming PC and I claimed these lol.

That's exactly what I did over the 10 years from 2008-2018 when I was a console-only gamer. When I got my PC last year, I had a collection of games from sales, Humble Bundles and giveaways that I could play straight away. It's the best bit about PC gaming - you pay an arm and a leg for the hardware but then the games are dirt cheap.

 

[Kazza]

Got them, first games "bought" on the Epic store. Very smooth process, no credit card needed. I'll be playing Shenmue 3 on PC anyway, so I might as well start now (I regret not grabbing some of the earlier free games now).

Heh, I've be doing the same. I do have a PC, but it's a pretty basic laptop, but I have been building up a decent library of either on sale games or games that I just want to support on PC so that they carry on playing (such as the Yakuza games). I should be getting a proper PC sometime next year and have around 50 games waiting for me.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I'm good thanks, Don't want that Chinese spy ware.

PS Plus is crying right now

PS Plus is not crying!

That's just it laughing at its subscribers so hard that tears are coming out.

 

[Sentenza]

PS Plus is crying right now

For what? For having paid subscriptions while giving back a lot less, while Tim Sweeney is bleeding himself out to make his store appear somewhat appealing? I doubt it.

P.S. Already had all of these, through direct purchases over the years or bundles, but this is admittedly a hell of a giveaway.

 

[Kadayi]

Don't we already have a dedicated EGS sales thread?

 

[nikeboy94]

Many thanks good sir. Having owned Arkham Knight on PS4, I've always been curious about the problems on PC. Also does anyone know if Asylum and City are the remastered versions? I've only played the originals.

There was no remastering on PC. They're still the original Unreal engine 3 games but have nVidia PhysX which the console versions didn't have in either version.

 

[xrnzaaas]

PS Plus is crying right now

Because? It's not the same platform and Arkham Knight is still a great add for being one of the monthly games.

 

[nikeboy94]

Ahh yeah you're right, it slipped my mind that they never put Return to Arkham on PC.

 

[Vawn]

Epic is once again hooking their players up some absolutely free games. This time, they're giving us Batman games.

Arkham Asylum

Arkham City

Arkham Knight

Lego Batman

Lego Batman 2

Lego Batman 3

Edit: Thanks for the merge. I did a poor job looking to see if a thread already was created.

 

[Ailike]

I finally installed Epic since I got Control with my graphics card, and I saw this. Im not -anti- Epic, but goddam. This store UI is just garbage. Where's the option to not have to scroll for eternity to see more than 10 games?

 

[Sentenza]

Im not -anti- Epic, but goddam. This store UI is just garbage.

There's nothing wrong with being anti-Epic. Anti-Epic is the rightful default state to be.
People who aren't anti-Epic are fucking weirdos at best.

Oh, and yes, it's garbage. But don't worry, they've been working on it since January and I'm sure improvements are coming any day now.
In fact, the new library is their "improved" version already. Imagine that.
