GOG is having a huge massive sale for the next 24 hours (Fallout 1/2/Tactics FREE!)

[Pike]

And I wanted you guys to know about it. (http://www.gog.com/)

[Formalhaut]

Forgive me, but I swear the title said 'GOD is having a huge massive sale for the 24 hours'. :p

I need to get my eyes checked out again.

[Shauna]

I want to get the Myst collection. For no reasonable reason.

[Nicolas]

I saw the email from them as well. It's an amazing sale, especially with their lack of DRM. FTL is a hard game to miss at the $2.49 price.

...

If only I didn't own pretty much all of the games on there that I'd want. ;o

[Pike]

Haha I know, I have so many of the great games there already. I'll probably end up spending even more money though, I'm sure!

[Vyk]

Not funny. I just got FTL off them last night for 50% off, now it's 75% off >.>

[The Man]

Thanks for pointing this out. I decided it was finally time to pick up The Witcher 2 and Deus Ex, and I re-purchased SimCity 2000 out of nostalgia.

[Pike]

Gigantic sale is over although they're still having mini-sales for another week or so. Hope you all grabbed some good stuff! :whale:

[The Man]

Yeah, looks like it. I also picked up the first Witcher (because people said I'd need it to make complete sense of the second one), FTL: Faster than Light, and SMAC.

[Pike]

:D You are making some very, very good choices!

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I wanted to get the Witcher games, but I don't have even a couple of dollars to spare on video games at the moment. Eventually I'll play that series. I already have too many games in my backlog to justify buying more anyways. Maybe this next week I'll finally have time to crack open Civ IV.

[Pike]

Civ IV.

Ooooh! You'll love it! Enjoy!

And yeah, I've got the backlog problem too. Not that it stops me from buying more games... :shobon:

[Slothy]

Your taste. It is excellent.

[Pike]

Isn't it though?

The list of games he's posted in this thread so far is making me shiver. :excited:

[Slothy]

Indeed, he's getting all kinds of great stuff that I also already own because it's great stuff.

[Vyk]

I <3 my GOG catalog. I've been a member for a while. But they don't get too many BAD games. So kudos to them

I recently/randomly grabbed Jade Empire off them, and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD

[Madame Adequate]

Games I got in GOG sale:

Witcher 2
Magic Carpet 2
Populous
Syndicate Wars
Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2
Uplink
Fragile Allegiance
Divinity 2
Startopia
Masters of Orion III (I know it's shit but I need to play for myself to analyze why)
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 & 3

I love GOG

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Ooooh! You'll love it! Enjoy!

And yeah, I've got the backlog problem too. Not that it stops me from buying more games... :shobon:

I managed to get Civ IV, V, and XCOM Enemy Unknown from Amazon a while back for $20, which was awesome. I've only messed around with the tutorial on Civ IV, but I already feel like I understand what I should have been doing in SMAC a little better. Someday I'll get decent at those kind of games.

[Pike]

ffffffffff I forgot to get Syndicate Wars





Ooooh! You'll love it! Enjoy!

Once you have Civ IV nailed down look into the Planetfall mod for it. It's basically a Civ IV version of SMAC and it will help you understand SMAC even more!

[Rostum]

Woah! Maybe I'll have to grab some Zork games. :D

[Araciel]

Definitive D&D for 20 bucks athankya

[Depression Moon]

I would get Dreamfall, but I'm unsure of getting games for this fucked up computer of my mother's.

[Laddy]

Yeah, D&D Collection is my recommendation as well. You can't go wrong with Fallout 1 and 2 either.

[Pike]

You can't go wrong with Fallout 1 and 2 either.

YES! Seconding this recommendation.

[The Man]

Bumping this shit because Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are free for a limited time (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/12/psa-gog-offering-fallout-fallout-2-and-fallout-tactics-for-free/).

If you see this in time and don't grab them I don't even want to talk to you anymore :doublecolbert:

[Elskidor]

No, I'm really not. I'll sale you a half eaten bowl of grits for 50 cent, but that's about it.

[Loony BoB]

I keep misreading GOG as GOD, and the thread title is really weird because of this.

EDIT: I hope to grab these when I'm home. I don't know how GOG works, but I assume it's similar to Steam so I just need to create an account.

[Madame Adequate]

That is correct.

[Spuuky]

There are people in the world who have never played the first two Fallout games.

[Psychotic]

I already bought them from GOG a long time ago but thanks anyway! Probably got them before most of you even knew about GOG which I guess means I am a GOG-hipster.

...my parents must be so proud.

But yeah the reason I say that is because I remember when GOG was a tiny little site and had to even shut down briefly. I'm glad to see it doing well.

[Madame Adequate]

Paul were you aware that GoG just got Theme Park a couple days ago?

[Psychotic]

I'm not the Hipster I thought I was!

I'll be right the fuck there. Amiga 1200 glory days here I come :love:

[Elskidor]

Wait a sec...that did say "GOD" last night, right?

[Rantz]

When I say the title in my head with "GOD" instead of "GOG", I think of xfrodobagginsx and weep. :cry:

[Heath]

Paul were you aware that GoG just got Theme Park a couple days ago?

That is mightily tempting. I've recently got back into playing Dungeon Keeper which was is my favourite Bullfrog game.

[Kossage]

I was very happy to see that they have the new Giana Sisters game with a special offer for a limited time. I grabbed it since it'll take a while before this kind of offer repeats itself. Can't wait to relive the Amiga 500 days by playing this, and the new GS does look interesting mechanics-wise with the mode-swapping (which includes switching between Machinae Supremacy and Chris Hülsbeck versions of music tracks, yay!). :)

[Pike]

GOG was having this major Bullfrog sale the other day but I already owned like half of the games. xD And Mister Adequate already had all of them! :shobon:

[AssassinDX]

Yeah, I bought Theme Hospital during that sale, still an amazing game.

Shame that CorsixTH thing is so buggy, but the original still holds up.

[Pike]

Theme Hospital is solid. Also Theme Park.

[Madame Adequate]

Every Bullfrog game GoG has is absolutely amazing.

And the sale seriously had a little thing that popped up and said "You already own every game in this deal :)" when I went to see the Bullfrog sale xD

[Nicolas]

You're reminding me to pickup Alpha Centari and Theme Hospital from this sale.

[Shorty]

There are people in the world who have never played the first two Fallout games.

I am one of these people, which is why I took advantage of this sale.

[Pike]

You're reminding me to pickup Alpha Centari and Theme Hospital from this sale.

Yes please do it, you will not regret it (especially SMAC)

[Nicolas]

Well, because you and just about all the others have kept talking about SMAC, I've been wanting to get it. So you're all jerks. :(

[Pike]

Jerks with great taste in video games.

[Rostum]

So many 90's games on GOG that I would love to buy, but then I don't know if I'd ever get the time to play them. :(

[Slothy]

If singing the praises of SMAC makes someone a jerk, I'm happy to continue being the biggest jerk around.

[Depression Moon]

Never knew you could get games so cheap. Will the money I spend go to the developers?

[Nicolas]

It's only making you people jerks because I feel forced to buy it and experience it's quality. ;(
