Yeshu: Sorry, but by your logic ANY female character is only female to get lonely male nerds attention.
Also you come to allot of conclusions without any actual evidence. It's borderline conspiration theory territory.

The plot is simple, but it is not meant to be complex or confusing. You learn about an old mans dream and go on a journey to make that dream come true.

Again, it's not a game for everybody and you don't have to make up some bs theory's about the developers trying to draw in horny gamers with a female character to justify you not liking it.
It's not in your taste, that's it.

Kamamura: You have missed one important distinction - and that is whether the developer uses it consciously to gain an advantage or not. I don't think you will argue about Lara Croft - here, it's obvious. I would say that games like Longest Journey, Syberia, Tunguska, So Blonde, and similar stuff are also a bit obvious.

On the other hand, consider games like Silent Hill 3. The main protagonist is a girl called Heather, but the game does not depend on her feminine charm to carry on the plot.
I'm not going to try and convince you but I beg to differ. As Freud once said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." And I would argue in Syberia and Longest Journey it's simply a matter of the protagonist being a woman. I played both games and both are in my top 10 Adventure games of all time. Both games dealt the protagonist not using her feminine wiles, but just her intelligence (or rather our intelligence). Syberia is a great game worthy of its regular price.

Neverfree: So, because I know they're bound to pop up sooner or later, how are the Sam & Max games? I've never played one before, but lots of people seems to want them :o

ahmedshaltout: the original lucasarts one was really nice but there was only one game and then they never made a sequel.. kept focussing on star wars games.. eventually telltales bought the franchise and brought it back to life.. it feels just as whimsical as the original but I never played more than 2 episodes so I don't know how it gets better.. many ppl seem to like it so it's probably more interesting if u play all the episodes rather than lose interest half way through the game they're very highly rated... I liked back to the future more though.. personally :)

I was a HUGE fan of the original sam and max though I used to draw fan art for it and everything :)
Thank you for that! I may just have to look into getting them in the future now :D

Grargar: Smugglers V. That means that Trine 2 is next.

Shambhala: How does it work? How can you say that?
They've been coming in pairs, based on the second round of the sale. So a random game will come up, and the next game following the random game will be the game that followed the first in round 2. Then there will be another random game.

And unfortunately for anyone looking for Trine 2, it's already come and gone - Smugglers was the "second" following Siberia - the next game after Smugglers will be random

Right, sorry I'm late back on, came home to some really bad news.

As far as I can tell no one has got part 4 of my user name. So here's the biggest giveaway clue...

It's a game. It was for a home computer built by the same bloke who invented the calculator.

Dajjer: snip
Just so you know you're not alone, I basically side with you and Yeshu on this particular issue.

Hey hey, my first free game!

. . . so is this Smugglers thing any good, guys and gals?
Posted May 15, 2014
Anyone have an opinion on Smugglers V (that isn't 'buy it so it goes away')?
Posted May 15, 2014
Hi folks, can someone post the round 3 list so far and what's left?
Posted May 15, 2014
It is now possible to select the freebies for gift.
Thought it was relevant.
Posted May 15, 2014
The fact I bought around twenty games during this promo, clicked many othhers, but didn't get any freebie from GOG does somehow gnaw at me, though I hate to admit it. What have I done to wrong the Gods of GOG?
