Hey i didnt believe it for a second lol. Looked too good to be true
Looks like possibly Disc Room tomorrow based on the teaser art. Would be a great start. Bought Disc Room at launch, but haven't had the chance to dive in yet.
Edit - I suppose it could also be Super Meat Boy. Disc Room is still so new.

I'm more interested in Watch Dogs gameplay since I loved it in 1 and 2 (2 being my favorite open world distractions this gen, last gen). Hacking is a super power in these games and WDL seem to take that up a notch, embracing it like Saints Row embraced it's wackyness and came into a game of it's own with Saints Row the Third. CP open world and activities doesn't look as interesting to me, and with WDL at least I'll have drones to be able to fly around with (as I could in WD2), but maybe I can do more now that you can ride some, flight.
Oh also I love interacting with the NPCs in WD2, I'm sure WDL improved it especially since you can recruit anyone. Going by the open world exploration videos I've watched, in CP2077 the random NPCs seem like they hardly acknowledge you even if you try to [talk] to them. Not thinking about the glitch where they don't move their lips or respond when you talk, it just seem like a lot of them are dressing due to those possible bugs too.
Also half the games on that list aren't even on the store.
I mean Epic has added games to the store just for the mystery free game shit (GTA V being the biggest one) but yeah the list was wild.
Imagine if it was true tho :D

Tbf they have added games to the store and made them free at the same time
only other time I saw this was when GTAV was free..is Cities a bigger franchise than I thought?
Cities Skylines without Steam Workshop?
Yeah, I don't think this is a good idea. But good for a trial I guess

If that post above about redeeming it getting you a $10 coupon, it's probably that more than the game. Cities: Skylines is OK, but it's pretty half-baked without DLC.
I definitely recommend Cities: Skylines if you like city builders. It's a pretty casual one, but well-made and appealing. Approach it more like The Sims than SimCity 2000.
My personal expansion recommendations, in terms of giving you more stuff to do or cool toys to play with, would be:
Green Cities adds a lot of service options, but they basically trivialise the already-very-easy power and sewer management, so I personally think it's kind of meh. Probably the only one I wouldn't recommend unless you like the theme. And then everything else is just art packs, basically.

- Industries (municipally-owned industrial areas and supply chains that you control directly instead of zoning)
- After Dark (expands the day/night cycle, adds tourism industries)
- Natural Disasters
- Mass Transit

Nah that list was obviously real. Epic is trolling us, just wait until tomorrow!
I was coming here to say this. Even if you don't want the game (I have the game on Steam), it still nets you a $10 off coupon.
The guy deleted his tweet but basically it was almost all AAA, with stuff like MH World or Horizon.
1st day was supposed to be Dying Light.
17.12 – Dying Light;
18.12 – Resident Evil 7;
19.12 – The Witcher 3;
20.12 – Mass Effect Andromeda;
21.12 – Assassins Creed Origins;
22.12 – Metal Gear Solid V;
23.12 – The Evil Within 2;
24.12 – Far Cry 5;
25.12 – Fallout 4;
26.12 – Borderlands 3;
27.12 – Monster Hunter Worlds;
28.12 – Dragon Age Inquisition;
29.12 – Horizon Zero Down;
30.12 – Ghost Recon Breakpoint;
31.12 – Hitman 2.
To be fair most of these games outside of 2 or 3 don't really sell anymore and are quite old (and often cheap in sales), so there was a slight chance it could've been real. But of course it's too good to be true.

I claimed the free coupon for just logging in and I claimed Cities: Skylines, but I just see the first coupon. Is there something I'm missing?
Oh, that's not really that ridiculous to be honest lol. Swap like 1/2 of those out for indies/not AAa and it's believable. HZD and BL3are like the only things there that seems to good to be true tbh . I Was expecting like HZD, Death Stranding, Jedi Fallen Order, CoD Cold War, Sekiro, Hades, DOOM Eternal etc.
I only received a coupon after claiming Cities. My Epic Game Store app is set to auto start with my PC, so I was already logged in.
I just bought the game on PS4 on sale. I was planning to build a beautiful, historic city, something like historic Paris or Berlin. Here are some examples that come close to what I mean:
I didn't find info or an eplanation how to access these, I guess, themed assets for the game. Are they already in the base game and I just didn't find them or do I need to buy some additional DLC first, or am I out of luck, because these are PC mods only? Can I build cities like these on PS4 and how? :)
