Cyber Monday Shopper Sim 2013 - GOG Edition

Enough with the indies! ;)

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet but Out of the Park Baseball 14 is a rare 50% off. If you have any interest in it at all, now is probably the time to grab it.

Crassmaster: That sounds fairly similar to the board game as well. Once you figure out that you need to use your units in the right order to maximize efficiency, the AP/CAP system works well. Remember that sometimes it's the right move to sacrifice a lesser unit to force an enemy to fire on them. Then they're ripe for the picking for your better squads and vehicles to tear into. :)

Destroying units through absolute elimination is (and historically was) rare without close combat, but you can still take down a unit by breaking their morale or what not. Concentrating fire is key, too. Open gaps in the enemy line and exploit them. The Eastern Front was more than a bit of a meat grinder, and you're never going to both succeed and save every unit under your command.
Got ya. Yeah, it's not a bad game by any means but the systems differ from the norm with wargames/boardgames so jumping into it without any knowledge of how it worked was a bad idea on my part. I just can't help but wish I could move more units before control was given to the other player.

Pheace: Good Old GOG. Taking us back to the days of limited stocks in the store and all it's splendour!
WHy is it when GOG tries something, some of you guys have to take the mickey out of it? I know your a Steam fanboy and all but it would be nice if people actually gave GOG props for at least trying.

Frankly, I don't like it either. I have work and college and I feel like I'm going to miss out on all the good sales. Plus, due to disparities in time zones, EU and US might miss out on deals that they might want while sleeping. Or a deal could take days to go away. Who knows. All I know is that I'm not looking forward to seeing the deals I miss while I can't access GOG.

They did, however, release a hockey manager so I'm good with what they're offering since it's the only real hockey manager in years.

The guys that do Baseball Mogul are maintaining Football Mogul, though, which is American football.

Heard of Football Mogul but apparently seems very variable depending on who u ask. theres no other options sadly. The old Eastside Hockey game is apparently still pretty good with user updated rosters etc :)

Towns is $5.09 (66% off) today only on Desura. It comes with both a DRM-free download and a Steam key.

Looks pretty appealing, an isometric community builder with RPG aspects.

I got interested in this game some time ago... but seems they released it (and left) unfinished..
Not sure how it is now, I would research a bit before anything.

Yah, I should be more cautious about these bargains, given how many games end up in this state. This particular title was updated on Sep 21, 2013 and sounds like it has a lot of fixes, but no clue if it's actually considered complete or not.

oh, so I guess it's not dead, yet.. Maybe they fixed some of the complaints.. Good to know.

This one was also in an old bundle (Indie Royale, maybe)...

They've actually had that sale ongoing since the baseball playoffs were on. I thought it was supposed to have ended when the World Series did but I guess not.

I did end up buying it during that promo and play it almost daily. Its quite complex with a lot of layers and incredible depth for a baseball sim. Recommend it to anyone who likes the fantasy aspect of owning a major league team and trying to create a dynasty with it. I've always enjoyed the baseball/football mogul games but this one is way more detailed than those. You can micro-manage your whole organization down to the minor leagues, you can just play as a manager or you can GM or any combination of any of those.
I just started a fictional league with the rules from 1901 and drafting my own players. Lets see how many championships I can win in the next 100 years.
