Divinity: original sin lowest price ever (50%)

I had this on my wish list since forever. Is it any good? More popamole (more accessible) than say Diablo? I works on Linux too, so I'm tempted to get get just for the fuck of it.

I'd add Hidden and Dangerous series as well to that as 'recent' games that really should be re-released.

The original Hidden & Dangerous + Expansion was released freeware ages ago.

I've got no fuckng clue how you got me mixed into this. I've searched your reference link to a post whith no reference whatsoever about hidden and dangerous, and I've skimmed through my posts history to be sure and there is no where I could found where I've said anything about that game, plus I've got frankly no interest whatsoever for action game.

For the rest, there are legal freeware games, cool. :mrfussy:

I...have no words. God....god is real. And he is called JudasIscariot . And he listened to my prayers. Listened to them for Majesty, listened for Requiem. Let me marry you Judas! Thank you!!!!!!!

Now, Noone Lives Forever, get to work lazy scum!

Edit: Oh, and Mafia, Mafia too.

I still have my original Requiem box...and +1 for NOLF and Mafia....I'd add Hidden and Dangerous series as well to that as 'recent' games that really should be re-released. Oh and Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom...annoying that the Impressions series isn't complete!

 

[Blackstaff]

Yeah, sure. I don't see the link with me, but sure.

*NOTE : With many titles submitted to CD-Projekt Red
for the approval for the GOG business platform, some
of these scheduled dates may change without notice.

That list would seem indicate that EA and Take2 are going to take titles they made "freeware" and start selling them again.

A scummy move as they released them as a "series anniversary thank you to our loyal fans"...

 

[Blackstaff]

Yeah, that's a list coming from a "chinese friend". I don't think there is a speck of truth in there though.

EDIT : I'm talking about that to be clear :

https://af.gog.com/forum/general/its_ture_or_false/post1?as=1649904300

 

[pippin]

The C&C entries sound fake imo. It's true that some games in the collection were made freeware, but that promotions seems to have ended at some point, particularly when Ea, through Origin, started selling the Ultimate Collection, and this was made a long time ago, going back to at least after cnc4 was released. This UC is pretty much the same than the 10th Anniversary re-release when it comes to the older games.

EDIT: Seeing FO3 and NV as being rumored to appear on GOG makes me wonder what will happen with the mods. Almost every big mod practically demands you to have a Steam version of the game, and stuff like the NVSE says that it will work on the steam version of the game ONLY. With capital letters and shit. I seriously doubt Bethesda has hardcoded some kind of shit into their mods so they can't work with pirated versions of the games, but we'll have to see. Never tried mods when I had my pirated version of New Vegas.

Yeah I know of the free Hidden and Dangerous thanks...but that was censored. I actually bought the 'Deluxe' when it wasn't free and have the original boxes from retail for it and expansion too! Still would be nice for a proper GoG installer(might also spread the word). The second one I found on Ebay once, but the expansion is impossible to find(legally I mean).

The first H&D had some of the best sphincter tightening set piece defensive battles ever, more than the second one even...the one where you have about 2 minutes to lay traps and set up your 4 man squad before about 70 Germans, a Tiger and Halftrack show up when defending the seaplane is probably my favorite game level ever...The music adds to the tension and then all hell breaks loose when you try to do as much damage as you can with your men, before each in turn is overrun. I never managed to do it without losing at least 2, but I left it like that since it was the last mission of the campaign and then you could replenish your team of 8(only 4 at any mission)from a pool of 40 or so. War is Hell (I also made sure the first two in the frontlines were the crappier soldiers that I cared less for ). The road to Peenemunde was awesome too, huge level, took several hours, as did the one in the expansion where you fight Greek partisans in 1946. So many overlooked theaters as well.

Divinity: Original Sin is a top 5 RPG of the last decade.

It is a turn-based team-based RPG with a rich content in exploration, role-playing, and puzzles. Which means it has no similarity with Diablo at all.

Agreed, it was my first "WW2 shooter" experience.
As a result I was totally underwhelmed by stuff like "MoH: Allied Assault"...
They felt like huge after H&D.

EDIT : 1.2 Wesp 9.5 Basic is included in the game, that's pretty cool.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines finally released. (fake edit: ninja'd by Blackstaff)
Also: the Bit.Trip series.

Finally there's some build-your-own-bundle deals going on for the next 7 days, with a new bundle coming up every 6 hours. No specific link for that as the deals are all on the main GOG page, but here are the deals so far:
Lucasarts bundles
Bit.Trip bundle (same as the Bit.Trip link above)
Nightmare Avenue (horror games)

€17.59 for Bloodlines. Fucking bloodsuckers.

 

[pippin]

It's the same price than Steam, and it's an ok ammount of money for the game. Activision does sales on GOG pretty often though.

 

[catfood]

 

[CryptRat]

Divers Bundles incoming each 6 hours.
There's currently a horror games bundle with the Amnesia games, the Call of Chtulhu games, The Last Door, Outlast, Sanitarium, Knock-Knock, the Cat Lady and Gabriel Knight : Sins of the fathers (apparently -80% if you take at least 5 games).

EDIT : There's also a Lucas art one (Zack MacKraken, Sam & Max, Monkey Island 1&2, Loom, The Dig, the Indiana Jones games, Afterlife and Outlaws).

 

[Gord]

It's the same price than Steam, and it's an ok ammount of money for the game. Activision does sales on GOG pretty often though.

Given the quality, the price is ok, given the age and the fact that for years now I could buy a disc version in retail (assuming I find it still in stock) for about half the price, it's not.

Most people interested in it probably already own it anyway, however.
But it might be interesting once it's on sale.

Fallouts are back to GOG??
https://af.gog.com/promo/bundleopolis_fallout_bunker_260416?as=1649904300

about that Bloodline talk - I bought it on Steam long ago, got tired of "Can't find Steam" error, then patching then some technical issues and then got pushed off by game itself so I'll wait for -75% on it, again.

 

[pippin]

wat
Fallouts are back to GOG??

Yes, but those have some mods pre-applied by Bethesda, particularly the resolution ones. If you had the games before Bethesda took them away, you still have the classic versions.

 

[Rabbid]

Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim released

Another Zelda clone?

 

[Siveon]

I played the demo, it's pretty much Zelda + Minecraft, with physics puzzles. It's boring as fuck.

They also now include the Bethesda logo on the splash screens.
