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

Cardian: And then it will have sold 750 copies. Hardly Keaning in my book.
avatar
jamotide: It's worse, this is only 1,49
Which is why everybody already bought their 500 copies in rounds 1 & 2 where The Prime Keaning took place.

Deva: Heh, you're in the UK, so you're 8 hours ahead of me here in California. So it's only 8am here.... maybe it will be done by tonight. ;)
That's what we said 3 days ago! ;)

Wow, Sword of the Stars: The Pit is better than I thought; I'm playing in windowed mode, I've died 10 times already...and I love it.

Morning GOGers.

I did my duty and bought Legacy of Kain to move everything along before I head off to work.

<3!

Zeeaire: always think of it when talking about combo systems cause it uses one.
but I'm not a big fan of it since it's pretty difficult if you haven't a good capacity of reaction.
and the sewers seem to stretch themselves drastically.
but nevertheless it has some nice ideas.
avatar
Schemilix: My reactions are pretty fuckin' good to be honest. I have all of the possibly Quickening combos, a 30 chain, and play Vagrant Story which requires split second timing. Anything that stops me button mashing is rewarding for me.
exactly this is the reason I recommend The Summoner to you..^^
well, I really suck at it just like at quick time events <.<

Could you describe it? I'm interested. While I'm buying a tonne of vidya gaems I might as well go the whole hog.

I'll have to dig it out from its hole. I have a shelf dedicated to PS2 games. But I just found out our XBOX 360 isn't, in fact, broken, so I may pick up Dark Souls to punish myself for living.

Well, hopefully it will be done by the end of this week, then. ;)

Could this good game keane any longer?

GhostwriterDoF: Are you referring to Final Fantasy XII? I think I have FFX for the PS2
avatar
Schemilix: FFX is... eh. Good OST, some really good lore. Kinda tacky plot, weak characters (except Jecht) and same shit, different world' gameplay though.

The voice acting, particularly for the main two, is just plain irritating too.
hmm, perhaps that is why I never made it through that game, although I wasn't into turn based combat games until I got some curiosity buys from GoG.

TBH I'm a bit surprised that it takes so long for a 5-star game. It's not that high on the bestselling list so it cannot be said that "everybody owns it already"

stevieknix: It was really innovative.

The higher your combo the lower your accuracy, so you when fighting a boss you really wanted to take him out in one combo if you could.
avatar
Schemilix: On the other hand if you could maintain them long enough, you could use the massively long combos to gradually restore HP/MP. That's what I did when things went badly for me.

I kinda liked the Quickenings in FFXII for the same reason.
Yeah. And different attacks had different timing, and different weapons had completely different timing as well.
I was used to using the falchion you start with, but then I picked up a polearm I was going to use for dragons/lizardmen. Could barely get a combo of ten, had to completely relearn the timing.

It's a rogue game, that is, it's a dungeon crawler that is about 50% luck 50% skill, you need to move through 30 floors. You get hungry, your weapons and armor break, some enemies are too strong and you have to flee.

The appeal lies in the obssession of getting to the end with all those odds against you. The character classes differ in that one of them will get hungry really fast, the other is physically pathetic and the other is sort of balanced but is pretty much screwed without ranged weapons.

Yeah. The knife's a fucking pig to pick up.

Also, question: how do I change away from 'New User'?

This is outrageous, I'm flipping tables right now. Buy Soul Reaver! A better experience than life itself. 10/10

Is there still a current copy of THE LIST around showing what's left?
My eyelids gave out on me for a bit! :/
