View attachment 64762In other news...It appears as though GOG is picking up Saints Row, Darksiders, and Metro titles - DRM free.

I saw that last night. Pretty excited! Also, it appears they have cemented another deal with Nordic Games, which brings the missing Nordic Games titles back to GOG.

Bundle Stars has a VICTORY Mega Bundle Sale going on for 48 hours only(1 day, 17 hours left).

14 Steam Games for 2.49

I also wanted to mention...they're changing up the titles in the Humble Store Spring Sale quite regularly....doesn't hurt to check in now and then. Currently, they recently added the full Kane & Lynch Collection for 4.99.

NOBODY likes finding good deals more than,

rtwjunkie...I like seeing those better titles heading to drm-free. In my perfect world....

. All games would be drm-free and linux compatible....a fella can dream can't he?

rtwjunkie · May 12, 2015

Actually, @Liquid Cool there's something to that. A couple months ago PC Gamer had an article on the digital platforms, and which digital provider has the best possibility to be as big as or bigger than Steam. Guess who they concluded it was?

Liquid Cool · May 12, 2015

Well...if it was GOG I'd be happy, but I don't know.

I will mention...I've been playing with their online platform and I haven't run in to any hang-ups. Runs very smooth, light on resources, and at least on my end...it's working perfectly.

Best,

I actually got it wrong. It was MaximumPC, and appears to only in the physical print edition next to me. I've been all this time trying to find it in online. But yes, of all the providers, GOG is the most poised to do that.

I have my own theory on this. Steam was started to basically distribute Half Life 2. That huge game basically catapulted Valves game provider platform. I believe CDPR's Witcher 3 is GOG's HL2, and will have the same effect of launching GOG onto EVERYbody's radar.

Liquid Cool · May 13, 2015

I never got into the Witcher series...I do have 1 & 2 sitting in my inventory. Got both free.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm actually hoping your theory is correct...

.

I like GOG. Can't say it enough. That last large sale where they had their different reps playing the games on live stream during the sale. For me...that was the tipping point. I had never watched video games actually being played on live stream like that before....enjoyed the heck out of it AND learned quite a bit about a lot of the smaller titles I wasn't aware of.

Some of those $2 games...are actually fantastic, but you need to 'know' about them first and I didn't/don't. Amazingly ignorant in this area of gaming.

At any rate...I hope they do that again during some future sale. I thought it was GREAT!

Best,

Paradox Humble Bundle.

War of the Roses
Magicka + some DLC
Knights of Pen and Paper
Vicky II

Avarage (currently $5.01)
Hearts of Iron III
Impire
Crusader Kings II + Sons of Abraham
Some music

$15
Europa Universalis IV + Conquest of Paradise, and a higher tier has a t-shirt and some buttons (people still have buttons?).

Currently it's a bit meh IMO, but a good way into Paradox if you're not into them already. We'll see what more comes up in the coming days.

Surprised Mount & Blade isn't on there. Guess that will be the "more games coming soon" part. It's one of their best selling titles bar Magicka.

I think they delayed Witcher 3 in part so it could co-launch with GOG Galaxy.

Preloaded with GOG; they really need to implement a pause button for downloads. I shut it down and had to start over. Not everyone can have a 23GB download tying up their internet all day.

I think thats why its in 7 parts.

FordGT90Concept · May 15, 2015

GOG Galaxy came out of alpha like a week ago. It really isn't ready for primetime.

GOG Downloader would be better I think because it supports pause/resume and is far more mature. I doubt it supports preloading though so...nevermind.

Thanks...I'm appreciative when someone knows the smaller titles worth playing AND takes the time to recommend them to others.

I personally get lost rather quickly when searching through a sale and looking at anything that isn't a triple AAA title. The Humble Store Spring Sale is a perfect example. I've probably passed over a dozen excellent games dirt cheap...simply because I've never heard of them before. Although...I did go in and check quite a few of the videos though.

Gunslinger: Call of Juarez I purchased just a couple of weeks ago, the other titles I was oblivious too...and it looks like these are some winners here. Not too mention...my game play has changed from desktop pc to primarily using laptops/tablets. So...these smaller titles that are possibly more laptop friendly are a huge win in my book.

Valkyria Chronicles is the stand out title. It's a good hybrid of a turn-based strategy and a third person shooter. I put 86 hours into the game and I want more. Alas, its sequels were on PlayStation Portable but, who knows? The fact it was recently ported to PC was a surprise in itself and word on the street is it sold very well.

There's a Consortium thread here. Long story short, you play the entire game on a single aircraft and each play through takes 3-4 hours but each time, you'll likely discover something new you missed before. Its that process of discovery that makes it unique and enjoyable.

Shadowrun Returns is a traditional turn-based strategy game (kind of like XCOM if you ever played that). What makes it great is the narrative and universe. By itself, it is a 20+ hour game.

I think The Cartel is actually my favorite Call of Juarez title but, unfortunately, it doesn't go on sale often and/or always gets overshadowed by Gunslinger.
