A hearty goon recommendation earlier today sold me. qwako posted:I went for Timeless Classics and got Blitzkrieg 2 Anthology for $2.99 but have literally never heard of this game. It looks like a fairly standard WW2 RTS does anyone know if there is anything special to it? Blitzkrieg 1 was a more thinky, plodding RTS but very good. 2 is in another category... it's much more unrealistic and sort of balls-to-the-wall. Worth $2.99 several times over. The Blitzkrieg games were one of very few GOG games I bought on day 1 at base price. For whoever got Deadly Premonition for $9.99, if you don't want it I'll take it. Fancy a trade for another $9.99 game on Steam or GOG?

Neddy Seagoon posted:It happened because it was true to all David Cage games - there was a massive rewrite of the last third of the game at the last minute of production. That's because Cage originally wrote that whole story to be told over a series of 10 episodes or something. This probably wouldn't have made the ending any less batshit of course.

I rolled 50% off Shadow Warrior, so its $19.99. Click the link, "Oh, you're from Australia? Heh, $26.66" edit: Wow, I added it to my cart and it changed to $9.99. Looks like the banner deal overrides my roll anyway. Cool. Mug fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Dec 13, 2013 |

I kind of wish I could specify my OS for the daily special offer. I got Omikron: The Nomad Soul for $2.49, but it's only on PC and I don't currently have one that works. I guess it doesn't really matter since I probably wouldn't buy this game anyways since I've never even heard of it.

I can't quite follow how GOG is running the sale. Am I getting it right that the two sets of games "Deep in the Dungeons" and "The Big Ones 2013" are the only "daily" deals right now and I should wait for more cycles to pick up any other games I'm eyeing? Also, someone sell (or discourage) me on Cossacks Anthology

The best thing is that the supernatural stuff is in there right from the beginning, but it's subtle stuff that very slowly ramps up and lets you know that there's something else going on in this story about a guy who commits a murder while in a trance and the detectives investigating him. And then the scene happens where the game just jumps the shark, which isn't just bad for story purposes because it also heralds the end of interesting puzzle-mechanics in favour of quick-time-events all the way through to the end.

New GOG deals are up. Something important to keep in mind: the Bullfrog sale is one of those "75% off for everything, 50% off individually" things. Also trying to click on a gift box right now keeps telling me to come back tomorrow for another chance.

People keep saying that, but it's a pretty dumb game right from the start. The diner scene is pretty cool, admittedly, but soon after that, there's the office fight against giant ghost flees and the  ness just keeps growing exponentially from that point onward. In other words, buy this game for 1.79, it's hilarious.

For its budget Cognition actually turned out fairly well but overall just turns out okay. It looks fine, although the character animations are fairly simplistic and repeating, and the voice acting isn't off putting at the very least. It's story starts off strong but trails off toward the end when you can tell they reached the end of their budget and had to start axing large parts of the narrative; the first two episodes are about what you'd expect from an episodic adventure game, but the third episode largely takes place across the same five screens in the same location (although it does have a somewhat neat gimmick to go along with that) and the last episode takes all of an hour to complete. All in all, its... good I guess? It's not the greatest adventure game you'll ever play but its a better serial killer point-and-click then Still Life.

Emong posted:Good news! AxeManiac gave me permission to post them, so enjoy! Awesome, thanks!  I remember those Hardman Norns being one of the few that didn't get just immediately slapped to death by Grendels. And I don't know what Toxic Norns are all about but they sound promising...  Now I regards to GOG, do I understand right that the daily Christmas deal is just as likely to offer you games you already own as not? Because that seems like a huge oversight on their part. I'd like to click on the Classic box, but I already own so many of those I'd probably get a repeat. Oh well, classic games are cheap anyway, I guess the real deals are to be had with the other categories... edit: What's with this woman who just starts yammering away every time I visit the main page, it gets super annoying after the third or fourth time and I can't find a button to mute her.

For extra fun try breeding them with normal Norns and seeing how long it takes you to get a kid that doesn't immediately die from having a fundamentally broken immune system!

Will be putting that on my to-do list. Really, as soon as I can grab a mod that lets me completely isolate Norns in different biomes this is going to become Unethical Genetic Experiments: The Game. Also is Influx a good game and is it worth at least $2.50 to just roll a ball around a couple hours?

The game is pretty short, but that works to its advantage, and it's somewhat similar to Dear Esther in that it's a beautiful showcase for an aging engine (Source in Dear Esther's case, UE3 here). If you've played and enjoyed games like Spectraball or Marble Blast Ultra, then you'll know what to expect here. I personally liked those games and felt this one more than lived up to them. e: The Creatures talk on this page reminded me that I've been meaning to pick those up. I enjoyed the first game as a kid but never got a chance to try the others; should I bother getting both Albian Years and Exodus or just the latter? ovaries fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Creatures 1 is mostly a curiosity at this point, and Creatures 2 has Norns so dumb they'll starve to death staring at a piece of cheese.

You might be interested in watching this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kDzqScUs-E. It's a compitation all dialogue and cutscenes from the previous game, Blood Omen, giving you the full story from Blood Omen. It's annoying in that it also includes all dialogue explaining all new spells, armor etc though. Still has some great dialogue. You don't need it for Soul Reaver, but there is a plot item at the end of the game that makes more sense if you know the plot of Blood Omen (and a few characters make a return - Kain, Ariel, ...). Soul reaver is perfectly playable on its own though.

Although that's a tricky one because they built the old Bard's Tale in, so it technically could go under classics... Picked classics again today and got The Lost Express.
