I don't see how it's much different than the way it's done in any other giveaway thread. Other than being able to grab the key(s) first come first serve, without having the OP PM it to you after you ask for(or are randomly chosen for) it. Free keys are free keys. What difference does it make how you receive them?
But how do we know they're free and not "iffy" in some way? In the giveaway thread there are links provided that someone can follow to get what's being given away, but with the keys above how are we supposed to know they're legit?
Aside from the rules, as a practical matter it can lead to no keys being usable, because multiple people copy the same key down and try to redeem in the same time frame.
Yet another reason why I think TPU has that rule.

Hello!

Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 got 10% discount on GOG.com and Steam.

I played on PS2 in 2003 with its first game for the first time. When it's finished I was excited to play the second game, and thankfully, they released that in 2006. Now, they remastered the second game and it is released with a 10% discount. I don't know if it is right to share this in here with this discount, but I just wanted to let you know. :D

I get that humble bundle monthly, this month was just cause3, project cars 2, and some other stuff. Last night I install project cars two, then tried to play it, holy hell that game is for real. It'll take you a week just to get good enough to finish the race, a little too in depth for me

Geneshift is a GTA1 clone. It looks ok, if you're into that kind of game. It's early access at this moment, and thus incomplete. The reviews seem very promising though.

ouch that pure top down look hurts my eyes for some reason. i need it tilted just a notch.

anyone else have this issue or am I just weird as crap? LOL

:clap::clap::clap:

Right in the middle of the GOG Winter sale appears the release on GOG of Bioshock Remastered, and Bioshock 2 Remastered. Each are currently 75% off at $4.99. Additionally, GOG notes that Bioshock Classic will also be made available free in the near future if you buy Bioshock Remastered. The same applies to Bioshock 2.

Wish these were part of the games you can link your Steam account with. I refresh once in awhile, but surprisingly very few games do the linking. I'd prefer no DRM myself.

I still say Bioshock don't need remastering for at least a decade or two.

Infinite doesn't need a remaster IMO. It's not that old of a game, and it looks fairly nice. Besides, that one is so story focused, that you don't really notice visual imperfections.
It's like saying MGS 1 needs a remaster. It would be welcomed of course, but not necessary. Ok that's a bit of an extreme comparison :laugh: but the point stands.

That's kinda subjective. Doesn't matter anyway, it's done and looks great.

Agreed, It just needs a GOG release, not a remaster.

Can't agree with this. Metal Gear Solid, like most everything else for the PS1, was lack-luster at best graphically. Unlike a lot of people, I was never impressed with the PS1. It's 3D rendering engine was flawed in it's core design(polygon jitter) and was lacking in many other aspects. The story of MGS1 was excellent and game mechanics were good. Those aspects carried the game. MGS1 desperately needs a remaster far more than most.

It's like a Skyrim remaster. A quick cash grab. Which isn't wrong, just not necessary. I'd much rather see remasters on System Shock 2 and Freedom Force.

That's in the works. The first as well, which will be released sometime soon.
System Shock remaster has been put on some sort of a hiatus, I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Unless there's been some kind of new info available from the devs.

? Where was this stated? Last time read something about it on GOG, it was coming along nicely..
