Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

CarrionCrow: How do I get it right? Do every plot quest? Check. Increase wealth and ability like every other RPG? Check. Fully explore the map? Check. Max out my character level? Check. Be the frigging savior of the irradiated toilet bowel? Check, check and mindnumbing, boring as all hell, idiotically produced, wish all the characters would die in a glowing heap of balefire check.
Well that's an awfully strong opinion. To be fair there's plenty of people who liked the first two games but didn't care for Fallout 3 because of how different it was, but even that seems a bit much. Sure, looking at each intricacy of the game individually reveals flaws that are most certainly there, but the way you described it sounds like you're hunting to find more reasons to hate it. Nobody who is disinterested in a game would go out and complete it 100% (or make a comment that doesn't seem to be making much of a point otherwise). Isn't there funner things to do than that?

CarrionCrow: Fallout 3 was 105 hours of "Please get your fist out of my sphincter, it really distracts me from the INCREDIBLY FRIGGING IMPORTANT, CRUCIAL AND VITAL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT".
avatar
Ungunbu: fallout 3 is very fun if u get it right
I couldn't enjoy it - the story was very bad and illogical at times, they failed to understand the climate of Fallout and spammed enemies illogically (there is no way there could be so many Super Mutants, especially after travelling from other parts of the USA). The only fun parts were the beginning in the vault and the robot part. And that's it.

EX-Deimon: They will, trust me.

MGShogun: You know GoG so well. :D
1000 Copies shouldn't be a problem for Jade Empire. If I had the moeny I'd buy it too. But since I already own it on CD I'll spare my money on something else.
Hope Brutal Legends is next. Humbles deal is still up for an hour and 30. Sooner buy here.
Nooo! Last chance, someone buy me the real texas, I will give you something for 5.99 later.
Should I get this one?!?
Next up are 600 copies of Tales of Monkey Island for 5.24$.

EDIT: Yales? What was I thinking? Need more sleeping.

We're approaching 1000 pages of posts. This is insane!

jackster79: I guess that begs the question: what do you look for in RPGs? The list you gave seems to run the gamut of just about every type of RPG there is (group, solo, turn-based, real-time, linear-narrative-driven, open-world, etc.).
avatar
CarrionCrow: Characters I can give a crap about. A plot that isn't drenched in weapons-grade stupidity. Availability of items to feel as though wealth is available to be accumulated without it becoming a compulsive hoarding nightmare. Combat that has variation, allowing for use of actual tactics. (Case in point - Skyrim. I had a 1-2-3 easy as pie way to kill dragons. Multiple ones. Simultaneously. They just became giant mosquitoes to swat in a moment.) Actual story resolution. (gives ME3 the finger).
Agreed. I enjoy Skyrim but it's pretty shallow. I like the looting though.

I really do need to like the characters. FFT and TacticsOgre won out for me because of the characters. They made that game. Simple as.

Hell, TacticsOgre even managed to have a protagonist who isn't boring. That's rare.
monkey will take an eternity ain't it?

stan423321: Next up are 600 copies of Yales of Monkey Island for 5.24$.
Nooooooooo.
This Monkey Business should go fast, although 600 copies at the price might slow it down. Good game, specially for the kiddies....

MGShogun: Beneath a Steel Sky is terrific game, dude! :P

SpiderFighter: Not to mention Ultima 4!
Tyrian 2000 absolute classic too! I bet all the free games are good
Over the 5$ mark. Lets see if this stalls the sale
