Nope, gotta fork out $40 for it.  Physical versions are discounted to $33 on Amazon.  PC is also EGS only until sometime next year.

I see he quit NeoGAF a couple of months ago and apart from liking a post or two, hasn't posted since.  He's on Twitter and seems happy there.

It is impossible to talk about the 2011 game without mentioning how much it feels like a relic of a different era. Within its first few hours, SR3 has already alluded to colonialism being a good thing, insulted various groups via some of the hairstyle and taunts and their names, and included a few missions featuring mindless NPC women who are only called hos and whores. It sucks. And it might be easy to say “Well, that was nearly a decade ago…” but I don’t think that excuses a lot of the content and jokes. Thankfully, a lot of Saints Row: The Third is focused on larger-than-life gang leaders, friends hanging out and big action setpieces, so you can mostly avoid the gross aspects. But they are there.

If you've never played the game before, it's absolutely worth checking out.  Just note that you can get the Complete (original) edition dirt cheap on Steam and it will still run great, just obviously not look as good.

The Epic Game Store has a $10 off coupon right now- works for Saint's Row, so $29.99 on there.  I think I might join the dark side and try an EGS purchase.

That was my plan, then I noticed Tetris Effect and used my coupon on that.

Now I have to pretend to be a responsible adult and reconsider buying this video game for another 2 hours or so.

I thought you got another coupon for every purchase over like $10-15?

There is some newish stuff that is kind of tempting me on EGS with sale+coupon...

The Outer Wilds hasn't been on sale for even $1 in every one of these sales. Seems like the developer has a Cuphead kind of feeling that they don't want to devalue their game. I get it, but it also comes across as kinda a dick ego move in a market where it's normal that over time games go on sale.

Will just pick it up on Steam in a month. Would've bought it during the 1 year exclusivity on the Epic store if they ever discounted it.

Oh ho, but I game on a 1080P plasma! Might buy.

Plasmas were really great. Stuff is only 1080p but it has that sort of crt quality where the pixels are not super distinct so it reads a bit better resolution than it really is.

Got Saint's Row The Third Remastered a few days ago and spent a few hours on it.  Looks good, although it feels like your own character now isn't as detailed as everyone else.  Maybe it's just me.  Am playing it on PC and it has ultra-wide support.  Runs at a rock-solid 60 FPS.  Don't have much else to say- it's the same game with a new coat of paint. 

But I do have a complaint about the Epic Games Store.  The settings says cloud saving is active, but it seems a lot of games don't support it, including this one.  Started playing the game on my laptop and had to go find the save file location to copy to my desktop to continue playing.  It's not that big a deal, but still annoying when 99% of all Steam games cloud save.  And how do you take a screenshot?  Not seeing anything.

Just for shits and not expecting any good results, I decided to try Dolphin on my phone and convert my Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) to an ISO....  dropped it on my phone....
BOOM...  Runs in hi res with hardly any dips below 24 fps and smoove music with no stuttering...

And with save states, I guess I'll be playing this again...  :hyper
Actually never finished it back in the day... Had about 20 hours in until my nephew threw in a game of his own and selected to update my Wii... wiped my letter bombed Wii clean.   :doge

There's no screenshot thing in the Epic Games Store. Probably because it comes standard with Windows now.

- Nvidia GeForce Experience overlay: If you’ve got an Nvidia card, this is probably the best way to take screenshots within Epic launcher games. Download and install the Nvidia GeForce Experience when you update your graphics drivers, sign in, and you’ll able to take screenshots using Alt+F1. Alternatively, you can open the overlay with Alt+Z, and change the default keys in Settings, or even take video instead. The screenshots will appear in your Videos folders (or wherever you set).

- Windows Gaming overlay: If you don’t have an Nvidia card but have Windows 10, you can open up the Windows Game Bar with Windows key+G. Here you can take a picture with the Screenshot button on the bar. The default shortcut is Windows + Alt + Prt Scr, but you can change that within the game bar to something with fewer keys.

- Third-party program: Alternatively, you can install a third-party program specifically for screenshots, such as FRAPS or Greenshot, which should hopefully work with most Epic launcher games. Some block these programs, however, so be warned.

I haven’t had too much problem for me personally with input lag, but i find I’m usually not terribly sensitive to it unless it’s an old snes, nes, or rhythm game.

Something about knowing how those games are “supposed to” feel makes me really notice it.
