IAmSinistar: Very glad to hear that! Please pass on my well wishes to her.
Thanks a bunch mate, will do. :-)
Oh, and I did and do with everyone's wishes.

EndreWhiteMane: The original Larry series and probably Dark Side since I get it for $4.99, that's it I think. ;)
Never played any of the Larry games. *ducks*

Dark Side?

budejovice: I lack IGI, 1nsane, & Speedball. I'll grab all three at some point, but undecided as to whether that will be this weekend or not. A nice discount, I may just grab them.

Speedball has pretty awful reviews, but they appear to address things that wouldn't matter to me. I remember playing a version of it, somewhere/sometime, but not enough to view it through the tint of nostalgia and be upset by what results from the reissue.
Din''t forget to pick up a gift code for Cannon Fodder 2. ;-P

moonshineshadow: I am thinking about trying one of the creature games but no one could offer me an opinion about them so I have not yet decided what to do.
They're only creatures, just pick one. ;-P

Jokes aside, I'd like to hear any opinion or two myself.


avatar
CarrionCrow: That is always a possibility....;)
Hey look, your favourite Soccer game is on sale. ;-D


Anyone played Mob Rule?

moonshineshadow: I just wanted to hear some opinion about it. Are they good, complicated, easy etc :-)

tinyE: They aren't really games, they are extensive virtual pets. You incubate the eggs, they hatch, you raise them, teach them how to speak, teach them tricks, rinse and repeat. As far as hard, not so long as your patient I suppose; they are aimed at kids after all.
Urgh ok... sounds like that this is not my kind of game. Thanks :-)

HypersomniacLive: Good day, folks!

Is everyone going into the weekend in a good mood?

Mine is, compared to the previous days. My friend's treatment was approved! It's still unclear if the total cost is covered, but it's definitely a step forwards. The sad news is that it'll take another week or so before the official documents are sent to her, and she cannot schedule the procedure until then. The good news is that she's been told that there are no waiting lists. A safe guess is that it'll take until the end of the month before she's admitted.

ddickinson: No real reason. I guess that being on a forum and thread that is predominantly male, I often default to referring to people online as he. I also tend to associate men having more male friends than female, so subconsciously I must have figured it a safe bet to say he. Of course men can have male and female friends. I am sorry if I caused any offence, that was definitely not my intent.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: No offence taken, just curious as I'm in the "they" camp when unsure or rather not disclose gender.

avatar
moonshineshadow: Nah you did not miss anything. There was nothing I wrote.

ok, that is a very good reason to skip the hentai stuff :D
avatar
HypersomniacLive: They could still pick up a trick or two though. ;-)
Very good news, still hoping that they'll hurry the hell up and get her what she needs to get treatment quickly.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Change of subject - who's spending their hard earned money on the weekend sale and what are they getting?

I remember playing it on the Amiga. It wasn't the greatest game then, so it's definitely not a priority now.

-laughs- I noticed that. Might buy it as a goof at some point when my list is clear.
Whatever year that actually happens is anyone's guess, though...

Haven't played Mob Rule but it looks interesting. Still annoyed that I missed Constructor before it got pulled.

My "number" keeps creeping up. At 775 total GOGs, not many priorities left. ;)

Good point. If you're going for full catalog, you might as well grab it since I can't remember the last time that one was on sale offhand.
Hell, I'll be happy if I can just clear my list by the end of the year.

If you haven't picked up Lords of Xulima yet, you should. Dear gods, is it mean. -laughs-

Aside the 50% discount during the summer sale and the Fall-Winter duo sale, the last time with a higher discount was during Valentine's day.

That's too narrow for Grargar. Just an info sage ninja cat.

I'm not going for the full catalog exactly. A few games on my will-not-buy list, based on what I've seen of the devs. Pillars just made the list after they royally... :)

For me, that knocked them from the rank of "if it looks really, really good and it's not riddled with bugs, I'd love to play it sooner rather than later" to "okay, I'm waiting for half off at the very least before buying and it'll be a long frigging time before I even think of upgrading to their currently 60 dollar version".

In the Royal Ed. preorder thread I mentioned that I'd wait to buy at 85% off for the basic version only. Future actions could tempt me here or there, but in the last few days I've kind of added yet another condition. My backlog is going to have to be pretty empty. So, maybe 1000 games from now. ;)

---

To be fair, however, my will-not-buy list is very small. Which brings me to a question. I know you're a fan of crappy games. Do you own and have you played Kingdom - Far Reaches yet? At one point I had it on my list, but curiosity is going to get the better of me one day. :)

Only 1,000 games from now? So, you've got it slated for a 2025 purchase...;)

No, haven't gotten ahold of that one yet, but if it's some of the worst GOG has to offer, I need to pick it up.

-laughs- Let's see...

Dawn of War 1 was good, Winter Assault was okay but not great, Dark Crusade's good if you don't mind no story, a lot of sameyness and some boss fights that are absolute crap unless you're using a certain army, Soulstorm is ultra-samey crap that'll drive you crazy if you want to 100 percent it, Chainsaw Warrior wasn't very good, Talisman wasn't very good, from what I've played of it Space Hulk wasn't very good, Space Hulk Ascension is overpriced but I might try it when it's cheaper, same with Warhammer Quest, Kill Team might be okay but I'd have to check reviews first, Space Marine is extremely samey and you'll do the same hit combos about 10,000 times only to be disappointed by its ridiculous piss-easy ending that's sequel bait for something that'll never arrive to boot, Blood Bowl might be okay but every time I've tried it it's gone all buggy on me, anything with the words "collection" or "deluxe" should be avoided since the people who work on Games Workshops games seem to love packing them with DLC nickel and dime bullshit, Dawn of War 2's okay but not great, Chaos Rising is okay but not great, Retribution looks like another sameyness festival not to mention that the story has to be bland enough to accommodate it being virtually identical in progression despite having six different choices for your army, and Soulstorm bears repeating because I'm learning to grow a black flower that weeps poison in the pit where my heart used to be for it, everyone associated with it, everyone who says it's something more than mindnumbing, rage-inducing rehash drek/shit/garbage, and myself for being enough of a dumbfuck to buy it in the first place.

Does that cover everything? ;)
