Have it your way.

<span class="bold">Way of The Samurai 4</span>, a crazy, feudal samurai adventure, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 40% launch discount.

You haven't roamed like this before (unless you played this series before). Way of the Samurai is a previously Playstation exclusive series that's famous for being positively ridiculous, and immensely influenced by your own choices. The series premieres on PC with Way of the Samurai 4, the biggest, most malleable entry so far. You arrive at a fictional Japanese port in a vaguely feudal setting, from this point on - the story is yours.

Way of the Samurai 4 presents a uniquely Japanese take on nonlinearity. You're both capable of changing the world around you, and impressively insignificant.
The world isn't going to wait up for you to make up your mind, events will continue taking place, and the end is inevitable. How you choose to play the cards you're dealt, and whether you decide do anything at all, will affect the outcome. Beneath an action-adventure layer, the game is also a true role playing sandbox - become a samurai hero, a selfish bandit, or a suave, silent protagonist. You'll have a huge amount of control in creating your character or how you play him, and if you ever want to interrupt a cutscene by slashing everyone to pieces, well, that's your prerogative.

You can also pick up the <span class="bold">Way of The Samurai 4 DLC Pack</span>, including new missions, new weapons, new clothing, and returning characters! Check it out.

Walk your path in the <span class="bold">Way of The Samurai 4</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last for one week, until October 9, 12:59 PM GMT.
Huh? Where's all the porn?

But.... Damn I want this game. Not enough feudal Japanese around.

op2015: If someone is interested in this game, here is a bit of the gameplay:

Video is not mine.
He either uploaded at 60 fps for the higher bitrate or altered the footage to be 60 fps. Either way, it's not possible to play it at 60 fps.

omega64: Fuck, I guess I'll wait for a sale. :(

darthspudius: Why is it now in this generation of gaming that people have only just starting using this as a reason not to buy? If the game is well made, I'd guess that the game is perfectly playable at 30fps!
Those of us that invest in high end PC's, 144 hz monitors, etc. don't do so just to have developers artificially gimp our experience. There are plenty of other developers I can and will give my money to. If I was really, really interested in this game I'd probably get it at a deerer discount, but I'm not so I'll avoid it entirely.

Always good to see Ghostlight release more games on GOG.
Good thing the launch discount lasts a weeks since I'm addicted to Darksiders 2 right now.
low rated
Meh... heard mostly bad things about this one (30fps lock among others)...

Gearmos: Oh, a modern Japanese game, DRM-Free, with free DLC, at 40% at launch and non-regionally priced. O.o

Thanks GOG. :-)
Thought the same, until I read the one review up at this moment: "Just be sure to have a controller." That's a dealbreaker for me.

Can anyone else confirm/elaborate on this?

Like most console games, it was designed around having analog sticks at your disposal. It's not going to play well on a keyboard.

Do people still really not have a controller for their PCs? How are you playing like... any indie games?
Absolutely having to play a game at 60 frames per second is pedantic. I don't believe your eyes can even pick that up.

Do you think television or films look jittery? Film at the cinema is 24 frames per second.

That's 60! 60 frames per one, one second! Are you kidding?

Driving games maybe, but really it just sounds cooler so everyone can feel impressed with themselves.

BrandeX: DLC is bought separately, and is missing some compared to Steam's DLC list.
Aw. :-/ But maybe the DLC list is not updated on GOG...
I need this..
