ExiL0n: I never really had that impression, it only says that you won't get games already in the Promo list - it would have been quite absurd to discount the full catalog!!!

aristotle61: Yes, you are correct. I think what I should have said was that I didn't realize the "Pot of Gold" only had a few games in it, and most of those are not very good. I certainly wouldn't expect them to discount everything they own.

Someone told me that they were going to have a sale on St. Patrick's day. I think they meant this one but are just confused about the time it started, right?
Yes, this is in place of the regular weekend sale.

I wish had've known that you could futz with it to see inside the pot. I would not have picked up the Alan Wake series and instead looked for one of these:

Tales from Space Mutant Blobs Attack
Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender
Ittle Dew

I have a passing interest in Allan Wake, but it'll probably sit on my computer unplayed for a long time, one of the more casual games that I could get in a little of here and there would've received much more use.

Oh well, I picked up sixteen games in this sale, fourteen of them ones that were on my wishlist.

Has anyone gotten Geneforge 1-5 or Aarklash: Legacy from a pot of gold recently?

I purchased the required five games but there was only three games that I actually wanted from the list of 25 games that GOG thinks is so great. Metacritic doesn't seem to agree with GOG's assessment of most of the games being offered. I picked three games and decided to take my chances on the "Pot of Gold" for the other two. I got Geneforge 1-5 and the Penumbra Collection. I later found out about the method to see what games you will get before you buy them. I don't know if GOG froze it so that you can get only a very small selection of games out of the "Pot of Gold" because of this, or they just intended it to be that way all along. I do know there is a very small selection of mostly poor games available now. In fact, most of the time it's the same five games over and over if you pick five from the "Pot of Gold". I'm glad I found out how to see what you are getting before you buy because I would have been very unhappy with the games if I had purchased five from the "Pot of Gold". I like GOG but unless they did it in reaction to the "cheat" people are using it seems very unsporting of them.

That's a shame you didn't get those games. Those were three of the five games that came up over and over again when I tried repeatedly to get something different. Unfortunately, I didn't want any of those games.

I just looked and those three titles that you want were a part of the five available from the pot of gold every time I selected.

Well, I just went back and placed an order with five pots, picked up all three of the games I wanted as well as Puddle and The Penumbra Collection.

Still...

Damn you and your sales GOG!

I just spent way too much money.

I saved a lot more than I spent, but I would have spaced them out a little better if not for the sale :P

What happens if you own all the common games and choose a pot, anyone know? :P

Yes. You are being informed that you own all the games and that you can only make a gift order.

You get repeats of the common games, "this must be a gift order", etc.

I guess it figures, otherwise you could buy the whole catalog at 2 bucks, lol.
