Well it was a very similar sounding game.... with two words in the title and all....

Oh and today's Ubisoft thing is Trials Rising.

In the past Epic coupons have only worked if you're already spending a certain amount of "real" money so maybe the info pops up at the checkout?

I would assume so, but... I'd like to find the info before I decide to purchase anything... oh well, 'tis the season of freebies, so...

Yep, the games have to be at least $14.99 before you can use the coupon.

So I run the Epic Launcher to claim the freebie and now I have to sit through a 9GB update for GTA V Online.
And I never even play the online version.

*waits*

Must try and find that setting to switch off automatic updates.


EDIT: 3GB to go.

70% down!

100%

Automatic updates... OFF!

Had a go on Trials Rising last night and it wasn't at all like I expected.
I thought it was gonna be a normal racing game but it plays more like a physics-based platform game. And it was quite fun too as well as being punishingly frustrating. The varied number of ways you can fail is surprisingly entertaining.
Even though I didn't go into the multiplayer mode "ghosts" of other players' performances still appear during races to compete against and I only hope no one else was able to see my own efforts as my ineptitude was highly embarrassing.

Hmm GOG has a game called Ancestors on sale. Play as an ape that evolves into human Looks and sounds cool but there's a review on the page that says it's realllly boring

EDIT: And Epic's freebie is Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
I remember playing and liking is as a kid (this is a remake) but I can't really recall what you were supposed to do. I'm pretty sure I didn't understand that at the time.... Anyway, downloaded.
