PookaMustard: Mwahahahahaha!

Seriously, to me, necromancy is bad when it's trying to revive a time-sensitive event, not when it's a harmless thread like this. For example, if a thread was necro'd about a terrorist attack in say, 2014 with the new post talking as if the event happened just yesterday, it would be a problem. But 'how many games do you own on GOG?' isn't that kind of thread that is relevant only in a certain time.

yeah i just noticed this thing got necro'd twice now
Both times by the OP, and it's still a relevant topic (also, it's kinda nice to see how some people's "collections" have grown).

To the matter at hand: here's an updated version of what I posted when this thread was young:
- 78 games (37 freebies & redeemed gifts [the latter of which were mostly also free or free with purchase of something]) + 2 or 3 DLC (depending on how one counts one deluxe version I have) + 2 demos (free, obviously) + 8 unredeemed game gift codes (4 free...and 3 of those are Dragonsphere :P) + 1 free digital comics dingus + 3 movies (all free)
- 81 [url=https://www.gog.com/movies]items "purchased" (not counting unredeemed gifts, or those redeemed by others), at least 1 of which is no longer available
- 60 total "purchase" transactions (counting gift codes I've redeemed, but not those I've given), 31 free/"free to me" (if one doesn't count the free games added to my shelf at registration as a "purchase")

I've played the GOG version of 37 of the games (plus a handful more that I have played before -- one of which [Daggerfall] is currently on my desktop), plus installed another, only to find I couldn't really play it because of how sluggishly it ran, among other issues. I've also watched 1 of the movies, and had seen 1 of the other two on YouTube previously.

I have beaten only 3 of these games (though, in my defense, at least 4 of the others I've played are not "beatable" in the usual sense).

Too many... 800?

(Actually GoG says 771, not including DLC and soundtrack purchases and bonus material)

I kinda have to admire the people who seem to have been here ever since like 2008 or such, seem pretty semi-active in the forums to me, yet report having only something like 40 games on GOG or something.

Maybe they have very specific tastes for games, but I don't think I'd simply have enough self-control to hang around in GOG that long, without buying oodles of games. I mean, if I really found it that "hard"(?) to find interesting games to buy on GOG, I probably wouldn't even hang around here.

This was not blaming anyone (for buying too few games?), just an observation of my amazement. Then again I am not expecting most to buy games as blindly in masses as I've done, no siree.

I admit for many it might also be an issue of money (ie. they simply can't afford more than a couple dozen GOG games in 8 years), but... can't you like go on the street to beg or something, with a "Will work for GOG games" sign?

Enough to make me constantly whining about having nothing to play...

I have about 150 games on GOG; counting 77 original entries here, and 112 I keep elsewhere too.

402 on GOG, 511 on Steam. When I worked out how long it would take to play them all my buying slowed down rather a lot.

There is nothing I could say here which would beat this comment.

Gylfe: I would love to download all of my GoG library onto an external HD, just in case something ever happened and GoG shut down or I needed one in a pinch and didn't have internet access.

My collection is always 100 games.

I do this by keeping in my shelf the top hundred games I like best, while hiding the lesser ones.

Right now, the hidden section is 166 games.






*edit: note those 100 games include many games I think I'm going to like them if I play them...

many of those games are still in backlog;


the tag 'completed' reveals 8 games (BG, BG2, BG:EE, IWD, DA:O, Van Helsing I & The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav)

the tag 'aborted' reveals 15 games

the tag 'parked' (for later) reveals 6 games

the tag 'currently playing' reveals 9 games

doing the math reveals 228 games I haven't played yet.
