Can't beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.
Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.
Oh fuck off you big baby, we don't need people like you in every discussion about free games on EGS, we get it, you're mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly, go bitch somewhere else and let people enjoy the free games.
You're mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly
You mean Tim Sweeny, the guy preaching about monopolistic practices while directing his company to take anticompetitive actions in a thinly-veiled attempt to take away consumers' choice of storefront and create his own monopoly?
It's more morally acceptable to pirate games than take free games off Epic Games Store. At least in the former case, I'm not supporting their campaign by being a statistic they can boast about.
People bitch way too much about EGS. Yeah, we get it, it's not steam and the dude that runs it pissed in their Cheerios once. Claim the free fucking game or don't.
Every single god damn time there's a post about a good free game on EGS, there's always some tool who's gotta mention how bad EGS sucks and that they only play the finest Linux games available. They act like they are stuck up losers. Let's be completely honest. Gaming on Linux still blows.
Nobody gives a shit about your Linux gaming.
Nobody gives a shit if you like Steam more.
Nobody gives a shit if you have a beef with Tim Sweeny.
It feels like a sequel honestly. Kind of incredible how many of the core mechanics from the base game they threw out in service of telling a new story differently.
Another note: The "base game" on giveaway is the full game, don't buy the Add-on. That's for people to upgrade from the original+DLCs to the remaster, only useful when not on free giveaway.
I have been putting off playing the finale of the original edition on Steam until I could afford the DLC; I wonder if the Spacer's choice version on Epic will pick up my save as it's a new build?
Anyone have tips for getting through the checkout process on Firefox? There are a bunch of CORS violations that I don't want to simply disable CORS to bypass.
I've had trouble with Firefox on a few sites now. PSN is another, and some random bookshop too.
Nothing is tested with it. I'll use it for general browsing, but if I'm spending money, I feel like Chrome is a safer option so it doesn't snag on anything.
The web standards are now "do what Chrome does because we're not testing in anything else"
Basically, it's a browser feature that prevents access to third party sites unless the third party explicitly opts in. This helps prevent certain types of XSS attacks, crypto-mining attacks, DOS attacks, etc.
Essentially, let's say you load epicgames.com, and the page tries to access steampowered.com for some reason. The browser then asks steampowered.com if it's allowed to access it from epicgames.com, and if not, it blocks the request. This means steampowered.com needs explicit support or that browser will bail.
CORS isn't super complicated, but browser implementations can vary so if a page doesn't make the request properly or the server isn't configured correctly, the browser will bail on the request. That's what's happening to Firefox, and usually it's the third party server that's at fault.
I don't know whether you have the same issue but I got stuck on the EULA page because there's a birth date selector behind it and they made both modal. The date picker is active but the EULA is on top so you can't do anything. Tried in both Firefox & Chrome.
The solution for me was to just go back to the store page while signed in, choose a conforming birthdate and then the EULA page worked normally.
Works fine for me, and I've done it from Android and Linux. I have a handful of extensions, the most relevant is uBlock Origin. If you have more, consider disabling those in case something is tampering with the request.
Then again, it could just be the server being borked and you'll need to wait and try again. Maybe try from a different device? (e.g. your phone or PC)
I remember having that issue, and I think waiting was the only solution. Kinda sucks though since it's a 24-hour deal.
