Here I was thinking I wouldn't buy anything off GOG because of the huge Steam sale.
Bought and bought! :)

What a great bundle.
Already purchased it a long time ago through Big Fish, when I was a club member.
Too bad.
'Cause here the games are drm-free.

Yeeessss!!! I've been waiting for this promo ever since Syberia was released on GOG. What makes it all sweeter is that I get paid today so woot, insta-buy. (((:

He hates everything, don't mind him. :P

As someone who owns 16 shelf rows of GOG games (that's more than 65 games in total, by the way), I'd have to be a pretty big masochist to "hate everything"... ;)
I do dislike lackluster releases, though, and always try to resist the temptation to praise every new game on GOG (especially the not-so-old titles) just because it's DRM-free and relatively cheap...

Well, you're wrong on claiming the two Syberia games as lackluster.
Yes, Sierra/Lucasarts made adventure games really big. But as the genre did stall and was already been seen as a thing from the past, Syberia was responsible for a renaissance of the whole genre.
I played the early Sierra/Lucasarts game, love the Telltale titles, but none of them managed to push Syberia from my personal nr.1 spot away.

Well, I bit. Playing Syberia now and think it is a rather nice game. First purchase from GOG in a little while and am glad I got them.

"Lackluster" didn't quite refer to Syberia specifically, although most reviews I've read strongly indicate that Syberia IS very much an "inbetween" adventure game with average puzzles and plot (although the overall atmosphere is supposed to be great and the presentation solid for its time).

For $5.00 each it is hard not to get that much enjoyment out of the games. :o)

those games are so different for such a comparison aren't they? these syberiias are even moodier than the longest journey which also couldn't be compared to those titles and has a sense of humour. theyre great. different flavor altogether imo

Does anyone know how to play these windowed? I just bought them but I don't like they change my display resolution and what not, plus they'd look nicer in a smaller window, especially the first where even though I enable AA it's still a jagged mess.

Try the Syberia forum here.

would buy it if I had the money. Spent $100 on a computer chair today so I am unexpectedly broke
I will definitely buy these games from here one day though, if that makes you feel any better
