Even if it true, I would still want it on Steam not just because it's deck verified, but because unfortunately this game on Epic doesn't support the Epic achievements system

If I remember correctly last year Death Stranding was one of the christmas gifts in the EGS and about 2 month later it was one of the Humble Choice games.
Lets hope thats the case this year too.
Because if I'm gonna play this game...it will be on steam :D
Comment has been collapsed.
yes me too. Saint Row Gold Edition could be in che choice soon anyway. they did it with other games in the past Just Cause 4 and Remnant for example. they gave away the base game on Epic and the full game with humlble choice
Comment has been collapsed.
Well...thats a matter of opinion.
I've skipped most of this years month because there were too many horror/zombie or indiegames which I didn't like.
I really liked the old Saints Row games and for that I would give it a chance, even with all the people saying how bad it is.
Comment has been collapsed.
many people don't like Epic and prefer to play their own games on steam instead. I won't skip it if they were to put it in choice. I would like to play the game with also the story dlcs on steam

Epic Games Store’s free game for December 30–31, 2023 is Saints Row, only available for the next twenty-four hours. There are five DLCs as well.

As always, thank you ipax11 for all the updates. Checking the reviews, and as a person that loved saints row to death 2, 3 and even 4, I think I'm skipping this. This new fortnite group seems one the old gang would kill in a second ,make a joke about how dumb they look, and never look back.

That's one way they can make people get the new Saint Row... for FREE XD
Comment has been collapsed.
im a huge saints row fan, never played the new one tho. what was so bad about it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Think of all the things you liked about Saints Row and all the iconic things from Saints Row.
They removed that.
Added a lot of what I think others would call cringe quirky internet humor, it was rushed out half baked like most modern games with glitches, there was also some internal and corporate drama that caused the game to end up the away it did.
It also killed a 30 year old dev company a lot of people liked.
So there's a lot to be upset about with the game that from story, game play, presentation, and then the whole internal turmoil that was leaked by former employees later it was doomed to fail.
Supposedly, before the company went belly up they tried to "fix" the game, removing bad writing/corny lines, address poor AI and glitches, and released some DLC.
But the damage was done.
Comment has been collapsed.
thing is most of the iconic stuff of saints row came from the 2nd game onwards, this was a reboot of the 1st game, back when they just tried to be a GTA clone
Comment has been collapsed.
Which is why it missed the mark.
SR2 and story that came from it are what most SR players remember.
So them trying to go back to the first one seems silly. And to do away with all the things that came with SR's growth as a franchise seems unwise in my opinion.
But the rumor/leaks from former employees trying not to be lumped in with the ones who did make this what is goes:
In the very very early development (I think one source says 2017) there was schism between where the game was going to head.
And that last for most of it's development. Many of the staff including vets bounced because the game was going a different route or stagnating at points of development and they didn't feel like they had a say in the matter.
I still take it with a grain of salt but stuff like this is so common.

Just noticed I missed out on Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Outer Worlds. Thats a shame.

I think I have both thanks to the Humble Choice (which I forgot to cancel). If I had gotten them as freebies on Epic, then I would have gifted those two copies here. Oh well :)

get them in discount on Steam. they have the achievements/cards there and they are better
Comment has been collapsed.
So actually pay instead of waiting for them to be free again, yawn
Comment has been collapsed.
playing them on Steam if you want to platinum them is better so I would also pay
Comment has been collapsed.
They can always go free in humble bundle or fanatical or such so yes, I'm not paying for a game that I feel isn't worth it esp when it has been free prior

Ghostwire Tokyo and The Outer World have already been in the Choice for Steam and they will definitely not be bundled again

free games in humble aren't generally in a bundle at the time. anyways, your initial comment on achievements doesn't work as there are games on epic that have them so you can

On Steam, achievements don't seem like something you really care about. It honestly just sounds like a reason you use to bash the EGS, just like you use "it doesn't have professional reviews".
Comment has been collapsed.
Why isn't he banned from this topic? He's only spamming his hate against EGS and doesn't contribute anything to the topic.
EDIT: Not the first time he'll be suspended. If with the first he didn't learn, what are we waiting for?

yea give more money to that damn Greedy company,i was on team from day 1 cuz i was forced to have it to play my DvD preorderd copy of Half life 2...steam gifted in near 20 years, 4-maybe 5 games---Epic has reached over 100 in a few years.. and i didn't give a fuk to achievment ever so get lost.

Steam is the biggest one out there with the PG games market monopoly and it doesn't need to gift games. no other platform can really compete with it

Epic outdid herself this yeare...so many great games... if they only create a discussion community Greedy Steam will be hit very hard. they gifted so many games and for those ,like me ,that not navigate into gold, is a great thing..the only problem is having a good PC to run most of the AAA they gifted sadly....Thankd Epic

ha good one they would never hurt steam ever - only reason anyone bothers is the free games
Comment has been collapsed.
At this point my only excuse for buying games to steam is that i have my biggest collection there...That they forced me to open it 2 decades ago with HL2 collectors edition(and yes it had the dvd inside...)
From that time i don't remember to ever gave me something for free,instead it is overpriced:P
This time i was ashamed to not buy a game from epic that they gave me a lot for free so i bought four:P
Think what you are voting for...
P.s I still prefer GoG from all of them for their FULL purchase of a game(i was late there too:()
Think that you DON'T offiacially anything:P Sony already covers that answer:P
Comment has been collapsed.
you'd be one of a very small amount to buy something there and even less because you feel guilty that they chose to give you games for free
Comment has been collapsed.
Ofcourse you are right,but i can't be ungreteful(sad but true),also the games that i bought had 20€ diff from steam...this years lowest prices was from epic...:P
And don't get me wrong,i love my steam acc,but truth is truth afterall:)

Ghostrunner is nice, but it's a pity it has achievements. They distract people from actually playing the game, into focusing on arbitrary points and numbers going up in an external system. to the point that they complain about achievements while not even playing games
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, I see what you did there :P
On a serious note tho, I have noticed sometimes that when playing a game without achievements I can be a little bit more relaxed, in some cases. Like for example some puzzle/adventure/hidden objects games give you an achievement for never using any hint whatsoever, making the whole implementation of a hint system counterintuitive to some extent, and because it's an "easy achievement" (in my mind, regardless of how difficult it might be in reality) I'll force myself to never even touch the hints even if I'm completely stuck and not having a good time anymore. I also remember this one time I was playing an older Tomb Raider game and thinking to myself "thanks god there's no achievements, I don't have to obsessively look for every single secret", that was probably the first time I realized achievements could subconsciously stress me out.
What I find particularly odd is that I'm not much of a completion junkie, like at all, yet I still get tempted to accumulate achievements for the sake of that dopamine rush.

Was Ghostrunner free on another service recently, or maybe in Humble choice? I feel like I claimed it somewhere already but I don't have it on Epic GOG or Steam. Also those leaks are killer if true!

Funny how he kept saying he is a "completionist" but if you check his steam achievement stat on achievementstats.com, he only has 1.5 % completion rate out of all games he played (356 achievements only from 5.7k games he owned, which is extremely low).

He has completed only one game which only has one achievement. He is completely full of it :D

A little reminder and a mere suggestion for keeping the thread spam free. (original post)
To me, the best tactic is to outright ignore all spam comments. The more people engage in these conversations, the more incentive the spammer has to continue to act in this way. At least, that’s how I look at things. Imagine for a moment spam comments receiving little to no engagement. This may not altogether discourage the user, but it can greatly diminish their efforts.
Obviously, I can’t tell others what to do. If they see this as the better option and decide to adopt it, all the better. Trolls be trolling. You can either ignore them or cut their access by banning them. I personally don’t see the logic in confronting or responding to them.
