You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.

Machinarium is a great game, a beautiful game, and from where i stand already a classic.

It's very nice to see Amanita Design on board gog, good stuff.

Crosmando: You saying we shouldn't be concerned?
Invectives aside, the brown-nosers are saying that everyone should just calm down. It has only been one week into the new relaunch of the site. One week hardly enough time to make any comment on a pattern that would deserve anger and frustration.

It's just the shift in focus which concerns some here.
And GOG's track record has shown that we have, and can continue to, trust them on what they say. They're not perfect of course, (as the beta to 1.0 release can attest) but the evidence shows that we can trust them when they say that they're not going to lose classic games as a focus of their site.

Again, to reiterate a point, it's like one week just passed, and all of a sudden it's as if the past four years worth of releases like Freespace 2, Planescape Torment, Deus Ex and Anachronox never happened. The level of betrayal people are feeling is almost at Bioware levels - and all of this, over what's effectively a non-issue...because it's something the community asked for in the first place.

I'm glad to see this game in the catalog, keep em coming GOG ! If I didn't already have it .. it would be an instabuy for me. . . =)

When GOG announced EA, a bunch of games the following week were EA's. The same has happened with any other big announcement, where for the next few days, the newest thing is all we get on the menu. I don't know what the retro die hards were thinking was going to happen barely the next release day from "new games on GOG" being implemented. There's still Darwinia and Spacechem in line, so maybe after those are released, we'll go back to a normal release schedule.

As to Machinarium, I already own it from an HIB and all the front page is missing right now is a walrus. :)

TheEnigmaticT: Let me assure you: we are releasing two classic games--both from before 2006--next week.

Catshade: Well, Darwinia is a 2005 game...
Kind of my thoughts ... I guess I'm getting kind of old but when I think Classics I don't think of 2006... although I understand that it's all relative. I do think there's a good chance classics from 2006 will already be available on other platforms though, which probably means they won't peak my interest.

Edit: Ow, he said before 2006. I guess we'll see then :)

iainmet: Yeah, they definately need mods here on the board. Things can get out of hand quick and it turns into a mud slinging match. Then when threads dont get cleaned up after a scrap and new members come along they see bitching in the community and just leave instead of posting and joining in.

I'm a forum Administrator on another site and would have stomped all over people doing stuff like this on the board, pretty sure the mod team would have been all over it by now also.
We don't mod nearly as heavily as most boards. That said: people need to be polite, or people will find they don't get to post.

Yeah thats exactly it. They wouldnt get up in someones face like that if they were face to face in the street so why do it on a public forum. It takes nothing to be courteous and agree to disagree

After the fabled publicity stunt of September 2010 and the corresponding influx of new users, the forum was in a terrible state, and needed mods desperately. It's gotten somewhat better since then, but I'm sure that the relaunch's going to make it worse again.

In general, I like GOG's laissez faire approach to modding, but the forum is steadily descending into territory where it's no longer going to work.

I think that's a bit gloomy, but you're entitled to your opinion.

I'll echo others saying that the laissez-faire approach to the boards is a breath of fresh air...but I think the time has come and gone for at least some level of formal forum moderation.

I think that everybody should have right to say their own opinion with out being labeled as trolls. Whats the worst thing that can come out if it, ways to gog staff make their service better?

PS. And i would be very proud if my business would arouse strong emotions in people, it shows that customers really care about GOG and it's future.

Barry_Woodward: Machinarium along with games such as Braid, Cave Story, Limbo and World Of Goo are the next generation of classics. They absolutely belong on GOG.
Listen to the smart man.

I think freedom/laissez-faire its the answer to all.
I think the forums are in pretty good shape.
I also think that some people are just too sensitive/delicate and for that they request unnecessary moding.
Posted March 29, 2012
Frankly, I haven't been for a minute under the impression I was trolling by expressing some of my worries. But after all I read just now, I wonder... Was I?
Just in case, I've deleted all my posts in this thread.
