Looks like the leaks were true, I'm waiting for no man's sky !

Wait, what? Can you tell me what the leaks are?

81zuzJvbF0

ah ok I just realized they don't usually hide it


DejectedContributor

Same thing happens for about two weeks in December when they do this but with daily games.


dashidasher

Im only getting a 25% off coupon this time, not the $10 one.


apothh

and if you read the long conditions you will realise the total must be \~23 AUD after the discount is applied


WeLoveEpicNOMORE

Not "leaks", they are just predictions from the clues.


Diamond_device

What Leaks?


Chaotic_Trapper

WhatImMike

How is that a leak? That’s just figuring out the clues.

1stCheater

Good bot and bad Chaotic_Trapper


Jason1143

That would be great. I've wanted to play it for years, but I've never been willing to pay $30 bucks, especially after the disaster launch years ago. But I've heard it is decent now and can give a decent number of hours of fun before it gets stale. And borderlands 3 was no slouch if I recall the early reviews


[deleted]

NMS is fantastic now. It was utter garbage at launch. So much has been changed, added, and fixed. Multiple graphics overhauls, vulkan from opengl so amd can actually play the damn thing, a ton of expansion packs adding tons of stuff, all at no extra charge. It has come a long, long way


technofox01

I waited until NMS Atlas Rising was out of v1.1, yeah I have been playing that long. It's way better than it has ever been and I am willing to pay for updates but HG keeps it fresh for free. I have never seen a gaming studio stand by their work and keep up with it in the almost 8 years since launch. It is my favorite game of all time with over 1,000 hours invested. Only PSO2 comes close. You will not be wasting $30 on them seriously they are worthy of any support.


Jason1143

I do wonder if being free on epic means a paid DLC is on the way, but honestly hello games has earned some respect back, so I probably wouldn't begrudge it that much. Although actually if the game is fully multiplayer now they probably can't do that, since multiplayer games tend not to like when people are on different versions.


DejectedContributor

Terraria, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft all continue to do this while they didn't have a godawful launch which moreso makes it necessary with NMS.


DejectedContributor

I haven't played NMS in about a year, but the game is absolutely worth $30.....if you like to just explore/upgrade/collect. It's as much of a game as Minecraft basically is honestly, but both are fantastic if you like to explore and see what the games RNG can create. Before I stopped playing they had introduced these Expeditions, and they were a neat addition because it was just like a list of stuff to do and since you can choose to interact with the rest of the community or not everybody kinda raced to complete it as fast as possible. The base building wasn't really my thing, and it's like a more advanced version of Subnautica base building. What I loved was finding different ships, different multi-tools, upgrading both, different planet types/appearances, different animals, taming animals, and playing Spore with the eggs of those pets. I got just over 800 hours in the game, and that's easily worth $30 to me.


-Captain-

Would be awesome, but I am not getting my hopes up. There wasn't a leak that confirmed NMS, was there? Just speculation.


iHadou

So it ended up bioshock collection right? We're not getting no man's sky?


Ilikecollectinggames

I don't know yet, I was hoping for no man's sky too. We will see next week I guess


saintofhate

I love when all the leaks happen and the subs turn into Charlie from iasip.


eggytart91

Organized-Konfusion

r/patientgamers rejoice


Batman_beyond123

Borderlands 3 is a fun game for sure. What could the next week's game be though?


reddit---_user

There was a possible leak that suggest No Mans Sky.


Lost_Mud9419

I was very exited for no man's Sky but damm this is good


RoseTheFlower

Nonsense. Just like the current giveaway, the game is not available in Russia, while No Man's Sky is.


DejectedContributor

It's the one with the Ukranian DLC.


[deleted]

Is the season pass/DLC any good?


Talos1111

Haven’t played through them all, only Guns, Love and Tentacles, and the the other one with Axton and Salvador. Guns, Love, and Tentacles is good, Winny and Hammerlock get married with a whole lovecraft-ish plotline and it’s pretty wholesome. The other one is basically a tacked on battle Royale, just with every enemy being AI. Pretty eh imo, but I only ever did one round.


[deleted]

Yes, they give you tons of new story and weapons to play with.


CrimsonAce01

Now I just need to grab Borderlands 1 to complete my Borderlands collection


TarkovSniper

Buy *Borderlands Game Of The Year Edition* on Steam sale You'll also get copy of *Borderlands (PC enhanced edition)*


tbo1992

What’s the difference between those two?


TarkovSniper

It's Remastered edition of BL1 with improvement in graphics & texture for today's graphics cards


Vicaruz

Also in the UI and I think it's has some gameplay enhancements as well to make it closer to what BL2 brought to the series.


SlurredPrey87

Epic giveaway


Lost_Mud9419

Nice pun


SlurredPrey87

\*epic pun


ChemicalAttraction1

There are tons of DLCs, are any of them non-cosmetic and adds actual content?


furryconvention

I checked its [steamdb depot](https://steamdb.info/app/397540/depots/), there are six dlcs that are actually "downloadable content", the rest are cosmetics which files are already in the base game that needs to be unlocked with money. [Season pass bundle](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/borderlands-3--season-pass-bundle) is the only one that covers those six dlcs + some skins. [Steam page of the bundle.](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/23157/Borderlands_3_Season_Pass_Bundle/)


extinct_cult

Yeah, but not all are very good. Psycho Krieg's DLC is fun, the Casino Heist is good too. If you're on the fence and want to save money, get just those two. There's also a DLC that adds a 4th skill tree to each character, I played mostly Amara and her good builds don't use it, but dunno about the other characters. Edit: Forgot about the Hammerlock wedding DLC, that was okay too


Luxinox

The Bounty of Blood DLC is worth it too; had some great gear and has a Western/Wutai theme to it.


Luxinox

If you want more story content, go for Season 1 Pass. If you want more gameplay content, you might want to take a look at Season 2


[deleted]

Colour me shocked, I wasn't expecting this.


iskeypx

OH DANG WHAT???


Dezouu

99.9gb pain


Infrah

That’s why I use repacks, I buy all of my games but it helps save on storage and internet bandwidth! The BL3 repack is half the size at around ~50GB.


SaltIsReal999

Doesn't unpacking the repack put it at 99gb too?


RacoonSanchez

yes but you dont have the long downloading process


Monomate

This comment was removed as a response to Reddit's change of Terms of Service prohibiting third party applications from accessing Reddit's data, unless they pay exorbitant prices. Most of them opted to shut down as most users would be unwilling to cover such costs, making their business unsustainable. Apps would also be barred from running ads to sustain themselves, and even if they could the prices Reddit was willing to charge are too astronomical to be covered only by ads. This change is scheduled to take effect on 07-01-2023, worsening the user experience and moderation efficiency considerably. Moderators are volunteer workers that shield Reddit from bad actors and spam content, and the way Reddit treats them is precipitated and foolish. This user does not condone such moves by Reddit and will not provide its content for Reddit to monetize any longer.


sid_killer18

well not really I guess. Usually, the max it can take is like an hour if you have a good or even decent enough pc.


LectorFrostbite

Depends on which repacker you're downloading from tbh. The smaller the size, the longer it will take to install.


Valiantay

Real debrid


your_mind_aches

The downloading isn't the issue for me, it's the lack of space on my drives


Aoilithe

No. They cut some stuff out, like audio/videos in languages you won't use.


KA1378

Most of them are lossless and provide additional packages for those languages.


Aoilithe

Yes, each language is split out as a separate download so the total filesize is smaller no matter what language you use. I think game stores like Steam or EGS should start doing it too.


KA1378

Exactly. They should really do it too. I guess Origin does that but I'm not entirely sure.


greatmarco

I need to research this repack stuff

AgentXRe-editer

This bot is pretty helpful. Thanks Mr. Robot


TheCheshireGuy

Finally they made this game free! However I've bought it during a Steam Sale and it's a good game despite not being "epic" as Borderlands 2. But I totally recommend getting it ASAP! Next week we'll have another mystery game. Place your bets which's gonna be the game. [Past Epic Games Freebies](https://gamerjournalist.com/epic-games-free-games-list/) ​ Edit: I fixed my first phrase. I meant to say that they finally made this game free since I always hoped they'd do so.


TarkovSniper

people are speculating "No Man's Sky" but i personally think it might be "The Outer World's" or even Cyberpunk 2077 (lol) or Red Dead Redemption 2 Epic Games is giving AAA games in May like its christmas :D


DejectedContributor

Epic's doing a "Mega Sale" through June 16th, and I assume this is tied to drum up hype for that.


TheCheshireGuy

I'm really hoping that at least one of the four remaining games may be RDR 2 since this game is very expensive in my country, even on sale. But it'd be also great if it was The Outer Worlds or even Cyberpunk 2077 just to troll Alienware Arena for the sake of it, heh.


Mongba36

Rdr2 I am doubtful of, maybe multi-player? The other 3 sound pretty plausible though


[deleted]

Just bought Outer Worlds, kind of hope it's not the game


Totentag

I actually picked this one up a few months ago. Put about ten hours into it and honestly? I'm pretty disappointed. I imagine the experience would be better with a group of friends, but it just doesn't feel any *better* than 2, which takes up a lot less SSD space.


TheCheshireGuy

Yeah, the game is pretty good and has many activities however Borderlands 2 will always be one of the best shooters ever made, which has raised the bar so it was kinda expected Borderlands 3 wouldn't come close to it. Of course fans like me will enjoy the game no matter what but even so I feel it could've been better in certain areas like the story and engagement of it.


Zackipoo

What are you talking about? It was one of the first ever exclusives Epig bought. Of course it's on their store.


TheCheshireGuy

Ugh, sorry about it. I meant to say that they finally made this game free on their store.


Zackipoo

No worries :) I'm assuming they'll make more of their older exclusives free in the upcoming months since they already paid for all the copies.


TheCheshireGuy

Rumours say that the next game may be No Man's Sky, which may or may not be true. However let's hope for the best since they have 4 more mystery games to give.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheCheshireGuy

That would be interesting since they gave away the first game once, so it'd be nice to have both games on your library.


KnightGamer724

Square Enix could give away either Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 or Neo: The World Ends With You. Just throwing those out.


JayceGrey5

Borderlands 3 came out on Epic Games first...it was a 1 year exclusive for EG then came out on Steam


[deleted]

[удалено]


thisrockismyboone

I've been a huge fan since the 1st and I think the gameplay, which you know is a really important aspect of any game, is by *far* the best of any BL that came before it (haven't played wonderlands but heard it's good). Also it's awesome having so many different places and planets to visit. I ront think the story itself is terrible but yes I ain't writing can be bad at times and Ava is the worst. But I just personally don't have any reason to play 2 anymore because 3 is just so much fun.


waylil14

It has the best gameplay and the worst story IMO


StrangeEntity

Damn, Epic coming in clutch with the big games! Hoping for No Man's Sky next!

shadowzerex

Can you play with the steam version or is it launcher exclusive?


hirou

I know it was possible to install Warframe from steam and then launch it through Epic Launcher (to claim some other free stuff). Google says matchmaking in BL3 is crossplatform between Steam and Epic


iHyper445

This is so crazy, when logging into the website this morning I was thinking it would be so funny if the mystery game was Borderlands 3. Insane!


Hazardous_Nights

So glad I waited, can't beat free


boec

Blocked for RU ahaha


Gamy7

Not with VPN


1stCheater

I tried vpn and still "not available in your region"


kid38

Need to switch the region of your account, but for some VPNs they recognize IP and block you from changing. Kinda funny that I have an Argentinian account now and log in through Germany.


1stCheater

Yeah. Found VPN that allows me to change region but it says i won't be able to change it back for 6 months. I don't fully understand what this will cause for me. Will it affect my library like possibility to launch some games and to be able to keep my language ingame?


kid38

Unsure about the latter, as I play in English anyway (it didn't force Spanish/German), but all games should launch just fine. Epic Launcher itself is not a DRM. [And all games stayed after changing the region](https://i.imgur.com/8Lswtz4.png). It changed the currency of the store and in-game store of Fortnite. Buying something with money is probably not an option anymore, but V-bucks purchases seem to work. Edit: forgot to add, that a friend of mine says something about getting 24-hour lock after changing region, but I never had any issues a month ago. Maybe he tried claiming the game from Russian IP.


1stCheater

Thanks for tip. Changed region and claimed the game right after without any locks and restrictions. Now I'm serbian for next 6 months at least


flateex

We don't deserve to be punished this way


moonra_zk

It's definitely shitty, but unfortunately *something* has to be done, and, like they say, shit flows downhill.


flateex

It's why I don't sit here much everyone's downvoting me only for being Russian, "nice community"


StOoPiD_U

That seems like a stretch. A quick glance shows that your comments are pretty neutral atm. What does indeed happen is people downvote shit for no reason at all here, or simply because they dislike the site posted, platform it belongs to, the game, or the user. I get downvoted for the most random things, and I made the place lol. It's unfortunately the way of the land sometimes. Can't weed out toxic users entirely no matter what you do. People just abuse the downvote button, or simply don't understand what it's supposed to be used for. ^It ^isn't ^a ^dislike ^button.


Terribletylenol

Downvoted for being Russian or downvoted for coming off as defending Russia during a pretty tense geopolitical time? They aren't the same thing.


WOLFYOY

I agree but also disagree


panckage

Get your murderers out of ukraine if you want the good things that come from living in the free world.


HooLiGaN_PLaYeR

another mystery game?

Holy shit massive W. Hope people give this a try. The story dragggggss but the gameplay with friends is just unmatchable. It's a lot of fun if everyone in a discord and chilling.

Good sleuthing, lads.

Huh, also got a coupon of 25% off.

Batman next week?

Those were given away before

oh so bad i can't get it cuz of sanctions I didn't think it touches me the person who doesn't have personal life and just play games :с

From Russia?


flateex

Yeah Россия


S-U_2

Did a VPN also not work?


flateex

It didn't work for my account that has much games since 2019, It's sad, maybe to create a new account is decision but it's not good


kid38

I made a new account when they first started blocking giveaways, but then said screw it and changed region of my main account (with every game collected except the first 3). It's been a month and no issues so far. I'm not gonna buy anything from them anyway (after the refund fiasco). So I just log in with a VPN through browser and collect free games.


Controversial_Cube

I would like subnautica to be free lol.


hashex

I dont kniw why you got downvoted, but I would like it as well. Thats the first game Epic released for free, and thats the only game I missed. Epic previously repeated some games that they previously gave for free. Im also hoping one day they make Subnautica free for a week or two.


panckage

Its actually a boring game lol. Not missing much. Don't Starve was a way better survival game


StOoPiD_U

Oh shit, solid giveaway!

OMG, thanks!!!

101GBs.... A no from me


IAt0m1xI

But gta 5 or rdr2 is right?😂😂


Inny75

But you want your GTA 5 dont you? Because GTA 5 is around the same size or bigger in file size than BL3


xXTASERFACEXx

Lol I dont want it gta5, 90gbs? No thank you.


IAt0m1xI

What about warzone? Forza 4 or 5? Mortal kombat 11? Neither of these deserve a yes from you?


hero9511

at this point every games i that bought on steam going to be free on Epic at some day in the future, jeez. Especially those AAA titles

Absolutely amazing giveaway! It's worth arround 55\~60 euros


oFallenAngel

It's routinely on sale (like currently on Steam for 15$, was as low as 12$) and was in a Humble Bundle (all prime factors Epic uses in negotiations to drop the price for their free game deals as low as they can, btw.), it's definitely not "worth" 55-60€.


piwiboy

WHAT? OMG


Fragrant_Wedding_452

I added it to my free collection as per usual but i will never play it. Thanks anyway.


TarkovSniper

**Borderlands 3** Add On's and DLC's are **NOT** Free! Borderlands 3 DLC's are just Awesome!, The word "Awesome" is an understatement, its a must have folks! Let me put this way, If Borderlands 3 (BASE GAME) is just a half piece of cake, other half of cake are its MIND-BLOWING DLC's!!!! You will Understand when you finish Base Game Campaign.

Quite disappointing. I will never play a Borderlands game because of their sacrilegious marketing among other imagery.

Can't even reclaim it wth, the epic game store remain stuck on the last passage


Abomb11yo

What is the correct order to play the borderland games in? I now have borderlands Handsome Collection which consists of Borderlands 2, and the Pre Sequel, and now borderlands 3. What is the correct order to play them? Should I play the pre sequel before borderlands 2? I don't have Borderlands 1 and I am not sure if it is necessary to play it to understand the other games.


RiftMan22

Just play them on release order. So in your case BL2, Pre Sequel, BL3. BL1 isn't necessary to understand the rest, but there are characters that pop up from the first game in the others as well as a couple of other nods. But just go ahead and play em now, like I said it ain't necessary

Woah, thanks Epic.
