Hello Timboli and the others!

I keep a text-file list with notes of games that either picked my interest or for later buying decision, hence my GOG-user-wishlist is still empty.

Usually, it is either one or more of the following reasons that caused me to refrain buying a game, so far:
- I am not inclined to actually play it anytime soon.
- I already have one or more retail copies of the game.
- the price point did not reached 'my sweet spot', yet.
- I do prefer another title in the series/genre more.
- system requirements are beyond my current device(s).

So, what are games I am (continuously) following or observing throughout the year(s)?

For example:
* Metal Gear Solid
* Metal Gear
* Art of Rally
* Tunic
* Tinykin
* Star Trek Bridge Commander
* Star Trek Away Team
* Police Stories
* The Last Call BBS
* EXAPUNK
* The Signal State
* The Pedestrian
* ElecHead
* Superliminal
* LEGO Bricktales
* Myst IV - Revelation
* Hidden Through Time (& DLCs)
* Hidden Folks
* Looking for Aliens
* Unworthy
* Sub Level Zero
* Overload
* Alien Isolation

Kind regards,
foxgog

Price for games that hasn't hit the sweet spot for me are as follows

PowerSlave Exhumed

Retro City Rampage DX
Edit

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2 as they are regular price too expensive.for what they offer in my viewpoint

Games On GOG that I want and ain't bought yet...that I don't own elsewhere & don't own anywhere at all:

-> The Outer Worlds: Non-Mandatory Corporate Sponsored Edition.
Why I ain't bought it: Usually is pricier here than on Steam, Epic, etc. I namely missed it when it was before $20 on sale here. Ain't bought it on Steam or Epic b/c I really want this game to work offline (Epic version's DLC's do NOT work offline) and Steam version also has Steam's DRM wrapped around it even if it'll work offline with Steam going. I loved the base-game, as I played it on Game Pass - but I really want to play the DLC's.

-> The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition
Namely b/c it's supposed to run WAY worse than the old version. Also, this version doesn't even come w/ the OG Non-Mandatory CSE. Still want to try it, as it should give my RTX 3070 desktop a run for its money. So, also waiting on price on this one too, as it's pricey.

List of GOG Games that I ain't bought b/c I often like to buy stuff cheap (i.e. 70-75% off or better):
-> Blade Runner: Enhanced (which also comes w/ the Original version).
-> Power Slave - PC Original version and Exhumed Edition.
-> Grim Dawn content - Only missing ALL of the DLC's and Expansions.
-> Metal Gear series - Metal Gear (original) and Metal Gear Solid.
-> Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2

List of GOG Games that want & I ain't bought yet....b/c I own them elsewhere already & there's also other reasons:
-> Deus Ex: GOTY - And also b/c Revision isn't as updated on Steam too; would love to have Revision DRM-FREE on GOG.
-> Deus Ex: Invisible War - Owned on Steam already; not sure if GOG version has been re-worked to work/run/play better, as that game's always been a mess w/ so many problems.

EDIT - I'll keep editing and updating this post, as I'm sure there's more out there.

I actually quite enjoy turn-based combat... and Banner Saga...

... but...

... not playing on a TV / PS4.

I find isometric, top-down, and turn-based games much more engrossing on the PC. ;)

Everything on my wishlist has been passed over in favor of something else, usually because it wasn't on sale or I couldn't budget it in. However after finding out that Godhood has the ability to worship cats, I no longer require that games be on sale if I will play it within the next few months.


There are a exceptions of games that are languishing on the wishlist entirely for other reasons though....

Inkulinati - In Development
I already own two games that are in development and don't want a third. I have the supporter pack on my wishlist because it's likely that I'll pick them both up once it comes out of development because right now, this game really is #1 in terms of what I want the most. This technically also applies to anything else in development on my wishlist, but I'm also not likely to get them they day they are released.

Hakuoki - It should be one game
I've played this on PlayStation portable and iOS, where it is one game. The PC version is chopped in half as two games with some character routes only available as add-ons. It makes me think that they've done something to this game where it will not play nearly the same. Essentially more research is required here.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2 - Way too expensive.
These two games may be the seventh and eighth games on my wishlist, but that's only because I put things in alphabetical order after doing a cleanup. The $29.99 price might be different if they were sold together as a bundle at that price, but they're not. I won't purchase either unless they go on sale.

Increasingly, I'm trying to set a yearly budget for games, but within that constraint, I can afford to get pretty much any single game that I really want.

Games in my wishlist were passed in favor of other games, so nothing is high priority.

You’re right, I’ll do that. Either way, I am visiting the site every day, I won’t miss any possible news. Basically, I just don’t want to being sent e-mail notifications. I'll slowly start wishlisting the games, thank you!

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force
Metal Gear Solid
Divinity Original Sin 2
Mad Max

Are you being deliberately naive or just not reading me properly or perhaps there is a language issue?

Genuine question: You are aware of the discounts that can often be achieved by buying something in bulk, or doesn't that happen in Germany?

Where exactly did I ever say that?
In fact, I made it abundantly clear that I have gotten nearly 1800 games at GOG.

I don't think you understand the point of this thread or are deliberately being painful.

Where exactly did I say I personally wanted 100 copies? Notice that example line starts with WE, not I. Notice the bits in bold. Group, as in customers, not games. And once again, WE is used.
That line was like an added afterthought as well, so not the focus of the thread.

Clearly, because you have the wrong end of the stick ... expand your thinking.

Yes we (I and others) would, and a bunch of other games, but I chose that game purely as an example. It could have been any of the other games I listed, and the $10 was a nice lowish round figure that came to mind. I did not deliberate long over whether $10 would be the correct price for that game, as the sole purpose was to give a quick example, of a group buy in bulk purchase. I was well aware though, that the cheapest that game has been for me, was around $18. I would have to have checked the price for most of the other games.

Anyway, as I say in my prior reply, the focus of this thread, which most seem to understand, seems to be misunderstood by a few for some reason, as the buy in bulk comment was just an added afterthought in my first post, and not something that could be easily feasible at GOG, so mostly pointless to keep focusing on it. GOG would have to be onboard with it, and it would likely need to be some kind of Gold Member Club, that involves a kitty etc.

The third and fourth (release in two days) DLC for X4:Foundations but I feel like the third would need to be under €10 and the fourth at it.

Any game I have some kind of interest in, goes on my wishlist, then it is all about price. I certainly have higher priority games on my wishlist. If a game I really want is a fair price, I just buy it .. I am retired and have enough in the kitty to do that, though sense always prevails when it comes to what I am prepared to pay, as i don't have enough to just be oblivious to value for money. Other things in my life need to be bought too, and a game is just a game, and I* have plenty of them.

I will never be able to play all the games I have, but it has never been about that for me. Choice is everything ... variety too. That ability to choose, makes me feel rich, even though in financial terms I aren't.

Welcome to the "GOG-collective-order-service".

At this time, we have the following 36 games on offer for this service:
[List of 36 games]

How does our service function?

For each of the games on the list, we offer an additional discount of 5%.

If you'd like to purchase an item from our list of participating games, for that higher discount, simply follow these steps:

1) Place a pre-order for the desired game.

2) Pay the discounted price in advance (discounted price = price of game at time of order, plus additional 5% discount).

E.g.: you want to purchase "Game X". "Game X" has a base price of $19,99.
At the time of your pre-order, "Game X" is on sale at 50% off ($19,99 - 50% = $9,99).
With your additional "collective-order" discount of 5%, you'll get "Game X" at 55% off ($19,99 - 55% = $9,00).

3) Once your advance payment is booked in our system, your pre-order awaits fulfillment.

Please be aware that, to grant that additional discount to our customers, we need a bulk order of at least 1000 customers.

4) Only after these 1000 pre-orders are booked into our system, the game you purchased, will be automatically added to your account.

Please understand, that we can't predict how long it will take for the necessary number of pre-orders to be made.

Thank you for your pre-order!
We hope, you were satisfied, and will soon return to the "GOG-collective-order-service"!

Think that would become a success?

Looking at my wishlist and picking up my 5 most wanted games:

- Cyberpunk 2077
- Terminator: Resistance + Annihilation Line DLC
- Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Delixe Edition
- We Happy Few Deluxe Edition
- Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood

The reason: Discounted prices haven't been low enough for me. And in the case of Terminator, that game doesn't even get discounted anymore.

Good one. LOL
Not exactly how I would do it, but hey thanks for trying. :)

What do you think? ;)

Clearly I don't think it would be doable, hence me saying "somehow' and mentioning it only as an afterthought. No harm in dreaming though, and like I later said, GOG would have to be on board, and be in charge of the kitty.

On further loose speculation, I imagine someone would need to approach the game provider, and ask how many guaranteed sales would be required to get the game at a specific price.

Anyway, just pure speculation, and not something I could ever see as happening ... nice as being able to leverage the power of buying a game in bulk would be.

So GOG sales and special discounts it is, for the foreseeable future ... that and hope of an eventual decent discount in some cases that haven't had one for years or ever.
