I’d never heard of it before. But it looks like such an amalgamation of things that I like in games, I had to get it. ---

Tomorrow is supposed to be Death Stranding in case you want to remind yourself not to miss it among the holiday activites ---

And indeed… [Death Stranding (Director’s Cut)](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/death-stranding-directors-cut) from Epic as today’s game (Servers are getting slammed right now so you might want to wait until a little later in the day to collect) ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > And indeed… [Death Stranding (Director’s Cut)](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/death-stranding-directors-cut) from Epic as today’s game No, they messed up. Only the base game, not director’s cut, is free. They are getting slammed with problems because somebody there put the wrong game up. ---

Classic Epic. First they get fined a half billion dollars for cheating children, now they lie about which edition of Death Stranding you get! ---

It now says “Unavailable” for me. I want to claim it, hope I can soon. ---

Interesting. I happened to claim the game about 3 minutes after it went up, and so far the directors cut is still in my library. Maybe I’ll claim the base game as well just in case. ---

Grabbed it just now. Might be just the base game (I can’t really tell) but good enough. ---

I didn’t have a problem claiming Death Stranding, the base game, about an hour ago. I started **Encased**. It looks to be a good game. ---

I think you got lucky before they fixed the error. Nice. ---

F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow is free on Epic today. I’ve never heard of it, but there it is. ---

Prime gaming new free games for Christmas, an extra 10, start today, but aren’t live yet. Looking at the news items, there’s no clear start time or format of the giveaway with the inference that it’s one or two daily for maybe 8 days. I’ll check 3pm/4pm uk and see if it coincides with the epic games giveaway. ---

[Severed Steel](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/severed-steel) on Epic was correctly predicted for today. Still no sign of Prime Gaming giveaway from 27th December starting. ---

Amazon prime christmas giveaway has started. - _ **Dishonored 2** _ - _ **Metal Slug** _ - _ **Metal Slug X** _ - _ **Metal Slug 3** _ - _**Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The newcomers (previous said to be RBFF1)**_ - _ **The King of Fighters 2003** _ - _ **The Last Blade** _ - _ **The Last Blade 2** _ - _ **Twinkle Star Sprites** _ - _ **SNK 40th Anniversary Collection** _ All of these except for Dishonored 2, are amazon native games. Dishonored 2 is a GOG code to be redeemed. As mentioned, one of the games was predicted to be the first, and really has the second. It is a dump of all these games at once, I was thinking they might do them a few every day, but I guess I was wrong about that.
