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

MGShogun: Yeah, that makes sense, hence a lot of mixed reviews.

KMJX: Though I guess on the plus side for RTS fans, if you enjoy a challenge, you can definitely get one in this title. You just have to ask for it ^^'. If you don't go for rushdown, and focus on buildup, you're gonna have some really difficult scenarios
*is cheesing the other opponent*

Got it! :D

KMJX: One of the biggest flaws of the franchise, is actually that focusing on the RTS side of it would make many missions way longer (and harder) than necessary.
For most maps it's easier to play it as an action RPG by just exploring with your hero party xD
avatar
mantarrochen: But it is always nice to bring some clerics with you. And while we are at it archers are nice, too. And spellcasters. And some extra cannonfodder-tanks. Aaaww screw it, I will RTS the hell out of this map then. :D
I'm not going anywhere without a whole army behind me.

Yeah, they're behind me and my heroes, so not really that useful after all...
MIght be a futile effort but still, anyone still got an extra copy of Sacred Gold, if any want to trade PM me please. Thanks.

That's why you would build your main character as an AoE Healer with life leech for self healing and put in as much mentalist levels as possible to deal with enemy casters, while your other heroes would mostly be meatwalls, with one support for extra heals, and a heavy aoe spelllcaster or a ranged specialist depending on the map
Is anyone actually planning on buying Psychonats?
How many copies were there for Thief 2?

If pulling your hero(es) behind your army's frontline is too much micro for you, weeeeelll... :D

EX-Deimon: What games are left then?

kklsid: Psychonauts and... nothing.
OK. Psychonauts is $2.49, but how much is nothing?
avatar
Austrobogulator: Is anyone actually planning on buying Psychonats?
Already got it DRM Free due to Humble Bunble :/
avatar
KMJX: Spellforce seems to be going slowly, so let me share a couple words about it:

If I didn't own it already both in disc and gog version, it would be a definite buy.

I remember salivating over the previews in game magazines back in the day, and bought it as soon as I could afford it.
I even ran into the game's biggest flaw: it was way to ressource-heavy, and almost unplayable on the first machine I installed it on, and it was actually quite nice for specs back then. (at least I didn't have the compatibility issues lamented by many other people).

Needless to say, when I got to play it on a more recent machine it worked fine (and with a DRM free gog version).
It's definitely not flawlless, but its not a buy you would regeret at that price, in my opinion
To be honest I didn't have too many issues with my copy. For a game that's not that graphics intensive it needed a good graphics card for some reason. Luckily I bought a 512Mb FX5600U when they first came out and that card lasted me right up until a couple of years ago (was even able to play Sims 3 on it without too many problems).

The main issue was the learning curve, but then RTS games are supposed to get harder as you level up the game :p

Nothing is free.

Austrobogulator: Is anyone actually planning on buying Psychonats?
I might, depends on the price though. I thought i had it already from a humble bundle, but a quick check revealed i didn't.

dedoporno: As a matter of fact, since this will probably be my last chance to do this and I quite like it...

Austrobogulator: Is anyone actually planning on buying Psychonats?
I was planing on it, mostly for the extras. Already own it on Steam and PS2

GabiMoro: That graphic is wrong, Spellforce is on sell from less than 1 hour, I think, no way for more than 2 hours (160 minutes).
avatar
wackyanne: No, seems about right. I came back on about 90 minutes ago, when it still had a little over half to go.

Now, I'd love to see the stats from the Keaning. While "awake" I was far from coherent for it... I do remember 100 copies over roughly five hours. It could have been a thousand copies, for the way it felt...
I can't believe it's been so long. My mistake.
