PC Gamer Chat Log Episode 56: Let's talk about "white whale" games
It's a lot more tactical than you think, as you can stealth most of the game. You have a set piece, and you decide how to attack it. You can play it kind of like the missions in Far Cry, only you don't travel for 20 minutes and get attacked by 8 different types of animals on the way to the objective.No, the pic for me would be, that would probably bore me to sleep pretty quickly.
Ok you ol' charmer, you sweet-talked me into it—downloading as I write at a snail's pace.
Shame, that's the best part of Far Cry, the unpredictable encounters with wildlife & enemies. Ah well, I'm not expecting miracles for free.
No matter, appreciate the tip
Thanks. Been a member of Amazon Prime for years and never paid attention to the gaming thing. Now that I've looked at it, it's a lot more than what I thought. Of course, now I have a new launcher...
Prime Video actually has a lot of great shows and movies available. We use the Amazon Music a lot on our Alexa devices, too. Prime really is a great value.
Yeah, that's the thing that sucks. Another launcher. But it's free games, though.
Don't Galaxy or Playnite include Prime?
I don't have it, but I agree—tons of stuff included.
I assume Playnite is a launcher? I was just being a dork complaining about having another launcher. I could add the game to my Steam launcher if it bothered me, same with GoG games. I use a ton of Steam features you don't get elsewhere, like today I've wandered around the store, visited several game forums, used Steam workshop--the best mod system out there--and talked to my daughter through Steam voice chat, so it makes sense for me to use their launcher. It's just not a big deal for me. I know where my games are. I can understand why others like all their games in one place, though.
Yep, and there are at least a couple of others too, outlined in this thread:

You have hundreds of games from somewhere I've never even heard of before. That's impressive.
It's 1 hour mostly, sometimes 90 minutes—for every game. Following is ~6 months old as I'm no longer a Club member, but: If you join the 'Club' for $7/month, you get a good discount on all games, plus a free game every month.
I tried to look around a bit, but it seemed hard to find games unless you knew what you were looking for or were willing to just wade in and keep hitting the "next" button. I'm considering buying Governor of Poker 2, though, so I can relive the days when I was an online poker player (before lawmakers cracked down on US based poker sites). I think for a first time buyer it's $2.99.
In case that wasn't a typo—since there is a Manhunter game—the freebie is Maneater
