GOG Sales

[Kamakazie]

I didn't see any other thread, so woo to you! I love GoG.

[James]

Wow, EmpireEarth.
I loved that game. Kind of hated the 2nd one though.

[proxops-pete]

site is overwhelmed...

Not a sale, but apparently all signs point to Anachronox being released on GOG tomorrow, which is something apparently a lot of people are excited about (never played it myself). Their most recent tweets:

We'll bet our boots you will absolutely love tomorrow's release! (Main character is apparently named/nicknamed Boots)

Two new releases tomorrow: Cyberpunk Sleuth and Flying Warfare. Can you guess what it is? (it's a cyberpunk detective game)

Some say that tomorrow's release is misplaced in time, but it's definitely not noxious (time travel game + "noxious" is obvious)

I have grown to really love GOG. No client needed to run the games like Steam; you just download the files and they're yours forever, DRM free.

thats the funny thing... i used to think the same way... but now i actually prefer Steam/DRM since it keeps track of all my games. theres about 20 or so games i bought during various indie bundle sales and i dont even know where to download them again

OH **** YES. Anachronox is one of my favorite games ever.

EDIT: I do hope it holds up... I'll be playing that immediately.

Anachronox release confirmed.

Just like you redownload all your Steam games from Steam, redownload all your GOG games from GOG. It keeps track of everything. I don't really see the issue here.

If I get anything from something like an Indie Bundle that's from some obscure random website I usually 1. keep the emails forever just in case, but 2. don't actually need to because I just download them right away and keep a folder with all the install files on it on my computer. Indie Bundle games are almost by definition tiny little things so it's not like they take up a bunch of space.

Pretty great sale this weekend on GOG's Square Enix catalog. They've got some Legacy of Kain games (both Soul Reavers but neither Blood Omen. ), the Thief games, Deus Ex 1 and 2 (thinking of rebuying both just to have DRM free install instead of Steam), etc.

Sale link.

[Kamakazie]

I think it's finally time for me to buy Anachronox.

[monroeski]

I had some problems running Torment when I tried a few months ago. Are GoG games patched to work natively?

Should be good to go. GOG is great about that kind of thing.
