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.

mobutu: I'm also disgusted by all the people bitching and moaning like a 3 years old stupid kid that didnt get his stupid toy.

All the trolls, stupid, negativist people that bash gog after only 2-3 days of the relaunching campaign. It didnt matter for you that gog promised multiple times they wont abandon the classics, you just want your stinky cake NOW and if not you bitch and moan like youre really crazy.

Those short minded ingnorant people.

Just go away to a different site, all the rest we'll feel better when you'll take your trash with you too. Bon voyage you short minded fools.

Great release GOG ... a game worthy to be here.
Keep up the good work and dont mind those damn stupid fools who cannot think more than 1+1=2.
Really?

I'm disgusted by people that sink to name calling in failed attempts to make a point.

SLP2000: That's why I think Legend of Grimrock way is much better - new title, which is not available yet, and some people will register to buy it here, and they may stay.

keeveek: and people are already removing their preorders since it's widely known that buying Grimrock on author's original site you get DRM free copy AND steam key.... fail again, imho.
Is this true? If so i would also consider buying if from the developer's site instead of gog.com... I love gog but if i see a better deal, i'll go for the better deal. And since buying it from the devs gives them more money, i guess there isn't a lot of reason to buy it here...

keeveek: There are HUNDREDS of Good old Games in GOG's reach.

SLP2000: Maybe there are. Maybe not. It's GOG staff who know what games they can sign.

But it's not the case about this whole Indie games on GOG thing.

It's about attracting more people to join GOG and buy games here. With bigger sales GOG will be able to make LucasArts join them.

ps. I'm not sure if Machinarium or Trine are the best way to do so, because too many people already have those games - just as you said.

That's why I think Legend of Grimrock way is much better - new title, which is not available yet, and some people will register to buy it here, and they may stay.
Fair enough, and no one is complaining. It's just confusion, I mean if GOG only want to get more sources of income and attract new customers with these new titles, so they can secure their ability to keep putting out old games into the future, that's excellent.

It's just that we don't know that, this "Newer" GOG could mean the end of old games here, for all we know.

Well, it's good to know that I should just shut up and just take what I get offered as a customer. Why should I complain? I mean, all those DOS games from EA and all those Square Enix games already sold on their side really need a lot of tinkering to get to run.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I am offended by other people being offended by yet again other people being offended.

serpantino: A quick shout out to all the brown nosed individuals.... you can be offended by people who dislike the lack of an old release all you like but at the end of the day, if people don't complain then GOG won't do anything about it.
Hey, I've been a pretty vocal critic of GOG on a great many occasions, but I really think this is taking it a bit too far. It's been what, two or three days since the rebranding/relaunch/whatever? Just let the dust settle for a bit. Constructive criticism is valid. Knee-jerk reactions never are. And this is most definitely a case of the latter.

(This was not directed at you personally, serpantino. Just a general remark.)

How? All sales on GOG.com are final.

And how well LoG is going you can see on bestselling list (it's one of the better selling title. In less than two days it sold better than Anachronox).

Besides, I want LoG on GOG shelf, so this is not an option for me.

Not the end, since they officially promised to continue the release of old games, but they didn't comment on the pace of release, and that's what's worrying part of the fanbase whose concerns are now confirmed, since old game releases are postponed another time today.

Thanks for the link. I might as well put my money where my "self-entitled" mouth is.

Are you one of those people who thought GOG is really going out of business when they made their PR stunt?

I have not even a small doubt they will be releasing old games as long as it is possible. Can't imagine how someone could thinnk otherwise.


edit: just as bazilisek said - two or three days since the rebranding, and you guys are whining. It's much too early, and they already promised they have some good news for us. Be calm.

No worries it's just the majority of Pro 'We love GOG stop moaning' comments have been pretty brainless so it seemed necessary to respond in kind. I did however include some constructive criticism in the bits you didn't quote ;). Also knee jerk reactions can be a good indicator of how much GOG is aggravating their customer base.

It wouldn't surprise me if GOG is trying this out to see if they can get away with it (still only releasing 2 games a week)... GOG is a small team and this expansion just doesn't seem smart at their present size.

Kola256: So what, it's better to have no release today than having some other games in meantime? GOG staff confirmed a lot of times that acquiring an old game is not so easy, as the rights are hold by different companies and a lot of them is hard to get contact to as they don't exist anymore.
Yeah, by all means, it's understandable if they're giving up and going for games that are easier to sign. But that doesn't mean those of us who love(d?) Good Old Games for what it was have to be happy with it. A lot of us found Good Old Games to be so amazing BECAUSE they made the effort to obtain all these classics. Tuesdays and Thursdays were something I were always looking forward to, to see what GOG dug up this time around.

I certainly agree that it's early to conclude anything, and they've disappointed me greatly before but always managed to make up for it later. But... what on earth were they thinking with this release? When they know how worried much of their fanbase is, instead of releasing an old title to alleviate our fears about their new direction they bring us one of the most redundant releases in the history of GOG. This game was always DRM-free, it's even DRM-free if you buy it on Steam (because it's flash). And it's on sale everywhere, featured in tons of high profile discounts and bundles.

Well, anyway I may buy it from that web only to give more money to developers but... I think GOG is a better quality option . Yes you also got a drm free copy, but GOG´s one you are able to download it wherever you want to... So it´s much better deal that a steam key. Just my opinion.
