samm Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 That is one hell of a sale! Almost too much going on there... Should I get Startopia? It seems pretty cool :D Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
melkathi Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Yes you should get Startopia. You should feel bad for not owning it already. Murky Foot (named after a native american in Asterix in America or something like that) were ex Bullfrog. The game came out roughly at the same time as Black and White. In my mind, and knowing this may sound mean, it always looked like this: Bullfrog fell appart and Peter Molyneux, who was the recognizable name in Bullfrog, went and did Black and White, while some other people, who's names nobody knew but who were the talent in Bullfrog, went and did Startopia. And before you know it, there will be a backlog of aliens trying to get onboard your station. I advise building another docking port to increase the flow of aliens in and out.

majestic Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 System Shock 2 is 85% off currently. If you haven't played it yet, NOW is the time to get it. Respect the will of the many. Glory to the flesh. Glory to the mass. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Zoraptor Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Look at you person who doesn't own System Shock 2, a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you drown in your mediocrity. What can challenge a perfect, immortal top 10 game of all time! of all time!!! Actually I'm so cool I don't even own a DD copy of SS2, my installation is from the original big box edition, transferred across multiple computers to this day. I'm thinking of getting Grimrock 2 and Risen 2, and maybe Trine 2. My resolution to stop my backlog growing larger is fraying already. 3

Verily, I am a drone of capitalism and slave to acquisitiveness. Oh, nice. I got SR4 a while ago at a friend's urging so we could play coop, and had a blast (though we didn't really play that much coop after all). I'm getting SR3, thanks for the heads-up. A pity Dragonfall hasn't been translated yet, otherwise I'd get it as a gift. :/ - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

ktchong Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) None of my top favorite games from recent years is available on GOG, (XCOM, Tomb Raider, Walking Dead, Batman Arkham series.)Walking Dead is coming soon. Tomb Raider is already there (the "good old" ones anyway). GOG is too slow in getting new titles. I already own both seasons of The Walking Dead on Steam. I am not going to buy them again on GOG. I am also unwilling to switch platform and buy the third or future seasons from GOG. I prefer keeping everything - i.e., all seasons and installments from the same series - on the same platform, i.e., Steam. (I have not bought any of the Game of Thrones episodes, so I'll buy those on GOG later.) I hated the old the Tomb Raider games. I played and hated the first and original Tomb Raider back in 1997 or 1998, but I hated it so I did not complete it. Since then I have occasionally checked out the other Tomb Raider games on YouTube, but they all seemed uninspiring. The 2013 Tomb Raider remake is really the first one from the series I enjoyed. It is a pity that GOG does not have it. I also hated the old XCOM games from the 1990s. I tried the original, also in 1998 or so, and hated it. On the other hand, I have registered over 1,000 hours of play time for XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within on Steam. After playing and loving the XCOM remake, I went back and tried the old XCOM games again... still hated it. It is a pity that GOG also does not have XCOM. I hated the old Tomb Raider and the old XCOM games. Yet, both the 2013 Tomb Raider and XCOM remake (Enemy Within in particular) are among my top ten favorite games of all time. I have been playing hundreds of video games since the early 1980s. (Until very recently, I had thought I loved RPG... until I realized, none of my top ten games is a RPG. I've enjoyed them, but I have never really really loved or worshiped one.) I used to prefer buying games from GOG because GOG games are DRM free; but last year I realized, "wait a min... GOG never has any of the really good games I like. So why did I kept telling people that GOG is better than Steam?" Ultimately, it really comes down to the games that I play and I love. And so far, all of the very best games I've played in recent years have been on Steam and not on GOG. Then you have to make something wrong. It installs fine on my D: drive. You can see down in the left a small gearwheel. There you can setup all what you need for downloads and installs. Let see. I'm gonna try again. Edited June 7, 2015 by ktchong

Zoraptor Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 They're having one of their all-deals(?)-in-sale days today so there's a large number of new and repeat deals on, plus The Wolf Among Us and Walking Dead seasons and Battle Realms free. The two Telltale seasons are going to be hard to resist, I nearly bought the DVD TWD season 1 for twice what both of them cost now, so I'd really be saving money, wouldn't I...

213374U Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 So it seems the sale is ending in ~40h and they have brought all the deals back. Is his standard practice? Funny thing, no Star Wars games have been on sale either on GOG or Steam. I wonder what's up with that. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
