  • FREE GAME: Fallout New Vegas

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 25 11:04:50 2023
    Ooh, another 'mystery game' from Epic. Will it be something worth
    waiting for, or are they hiding it behind The Shroud Of Mystery (tm)
    because it's going to be another repeat and are trying to pre-empt a
    week's worth of criticism? Well, you'll know the answer to that just
    by looking at this post's title, but at least pretend to be a'tingle
    with curiosity, huh?

    Are you all nice and tingly? Good. Let's pull aside the curtains and
    reveal this week's game. It's....

    * Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fallout-new-vegas--ultimate-edition
    Well, give Epic credit on this one: it's not a repeat. But neither is
    it a particularly exciting offering; by this time, I'm pretty sure
    that everyone that wants "New Vegas" already has a copy of it... and
    given how often it's been offered as a freebie, they probably have
    multiple copies. I always preferred "Fallout 3" to "New Vegas" but I
    seem to be in the minority in that. Still, I won't turn up my nose at
    a sixth copy of the game. The library must grow, after all.


    Well, was that worth the wait? Or do you regret getting all tingly for
    this game? You'll have seven days to contemplate your life choices
    (and grab this game) before the cycle begins anew.

    For some reason, I didn't have the "Ultimate" edition, so I grabbed it
    for the DLC.
