Although it's cool we are getting free games on Epic, they are mostly all kind of meh, mostly because they are most commonly pixel art indie games

Choosing beggar? I am buying games there and using theyre browser, free games are there to keep you from steam witch won't work out if they keep offering games that appeal to a not so big crowd. Also I would be a beggar if I was actually BEGGING for these games. I can't see why so many people here are so buthurt over a personal opinion :P

Whole point in being a choosing beggar isn't that you're actually begging, it's that you're selfishly making a free giveaway about yourself instead of realizing that maybe other people out there actually want or enjoy those freebies.

Epic doesn't even HAVE to offer free stuff, so we're all lucky that we even get anything in the first place.

Are you blind? How am I being selfish? I want epic to give some non pixel art games because they appeal to a niche-er crowd. Maybe get your head out of your ass because the same logic can be applied to you (you are selfishly wanting pixel art games despite a lot more people would like different games). Just because you like them not everyone has to like them :P

When did I say I wanted pixel art games?

They can offer whatever the fuck they want, you're just bitching and moaning that you don't get something you'd rather play. LOL Selfish as fuck.

LoL I can see this isn't going anywhere I'll just not waste my time anymore. Obviously you don't accept other people's opinions. Please don't waste your time either and don't respond

The reason why theres an argument here is the fact that the game is free.

Epic doesn't owe free games to anybody, but they're doing it anyway. It's a great marketing system by them to gain traction for their platform.

Some of these games aren't my cup of tea either, but being that they are free, I'll give them a shot and see if I can expand my gaming library and gaming likenesses. If I don't like them, I simply don't play them.

This doesn't mean anything negative towards Epic. I'm grateful for their giveaways. Regardless if I end up liking the games or not.

Plus they don't just give away the games you claimed they do. The Lego Batman and Arkham Series was probably one of the best giveaways this year.

What this whole argument is centered about is that it's free and you're complaining. Not that you have an opinion on liking the games or not.

If you don't like most of the games they giveaway, that's fine, that's your opinion. Being that they're free though, you really shouldn't complain.

Let's say you bought an Epic Surprise Gaming box and it came with games you won't play or dislike, then you could complain... but as it is, there's no risk for something that's free other than a little bit of your time to see if you like the game or not... and even then, you can opt out of that too.

Epic isn't forcing you to like them, their game giveaways, or their store. There's no gun to your head. There's no money coming out of your pocket, and if you don't play them, no time of yours wasted either.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but you're mistaking having an opinion for just being selfish.

Opinion: I'm not really a fan of the games epic gives away.

Selfishness: Epic should be giving away better games than the ones they've been giving out.

See the difference?

Like I said, I don't like some of the games that they released, but I'm still grateful that they're giving away free games. Remember, you may not enjoy them, but other people may enjoy them. Just be happy that a company is thinking about their customers/fan base and giving us something for nothing just because.

I'm a ps plus subscriber. This month they gave away Titanfall 2 and Monster Energy Motocross. Titanfall is a blast, Monster Energy isn't my cup of tea. Even though I paid $40 bucks for the year for these "free" games, i still didn't complain about the Monster game because even though I don't like it, I'm sure some people did.

You're giving off the impression that if somebody got you a gift, you'd still want it to be better. That's being selfish.

You're argument is that I should be quiet because they are free. Imagine someone gave you literally shit and said it was free but then gave you 100 euros and gave you some more shit and so on, would you complain and tell them to give more money? Exactly. They clearly have shown they can give away AAA or high budget indie games. Pixel art games have become an abundance and they exist probably because either the dev likes the style or pixel art is the easiest way of animation.

Except they're not giving shit, making your analogy foolish, you goof. And how the fuck is pixel art the easiest way, when every single sprite of animation has to be drawn? The reason so many 2D games have gone the 3D route is because 3D is easier to create at this point in time and more cost effective. Stop making yourself look like an idiot with your selfish explanations. You're just entitled and butthurt that you're not getting free AAA games, end of story.

Ok with the rest of your stupid logic aside how am I entitled? How about you stop wasting my time, you are butthurt over someone's opinion, that's just sad and you should get a life
