EndreWhiteMane: Well, before I gave anyone the chance to talk me back from the brink of insanity, I purchased Sunless Sea and the Humble Weekly Bundle.
The more I read about SS the more it sounded like something I could get lost in for quite a while.
The bundle was just way too good a deal for $10, there are 4 drm free games in there I've wanted for a while.
Call me crazy, call me wild, call me when dinner is ready. :-)
Let us know what Sunless Sea is like. It seems really interesting and is quite high on my wishlist. But I'd hate to spend money on it if it's not great..
CarrionCrow: You have more restraint. Not necessarily a bad thing.
It seems like RPG's, adventures and strategy are the core of what GOG has to offer.
I tend to prefer RPG's, with adventures and strategy coming in second. (Aside from when some vicious platformer shows up.) So I have a lot of them. =)
ddickinson: I'm not sure what my favourite genre of game is. It tends to change all the time, depending on my mood. I like most kinds, with the exception of sports games, racing games, and Pigeon dating games. :-)
I'm not as keen on a lot of the newer games, especially the indie games. I know many love them, but they just seem so cheap and lazy to me. Not all of them, of course, some are wonderful. But too many are just poorly made, IMO.
I would say RPGs are my favourite genre, followed by strategy and city building / sim type games. But I will also play most things other than sports and racing games (and dating games although I can't say I don't want to play Hatoful Boyfriend just once...). I've never been much of a fan of adventure games, except for Discworld Noir.
I kind of disagree about the indie games though, they're mostly the only newer games I can stand. Sure some require a bit of polish or are lacking somewhere, but there are some real gems out there. Big budget AAA titles do nothing for me anymore, unless they are Nintendo games.
