Oh, more cyber virgins! Hi!

I think I saw one game to come up two times during this Insomnia Sale, so I guess if you miss a game you'd like to purchase, you may have another chance. Sometime. Maybe. Perhaps. Smayhaps.

Though still, I am just occasionally opening front page out curiosity since I know for sure I am not going to buy anything. About a week ago bought myself Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. What an interesting game! I just can't get enough of it! GOG most definitely needs to get in the store.

I enjoyed Amalur quite a bit. The formula gets a bit repetitive if you try and do all the side quests (plus you hit max level), and the combat isn't exactly balanced, but I still had great fun blowing things up and trying different configurations.


As for this insomnia sale, it's really not to my taste in offerings, but esp. in pace. Which is a bit of a relief, actually as I bought 10+ games in the double-insomnia sale last year.

But the pace makes it even hard to follow for entertainment. Half of the fun last year was speculating on what would come next and trying to talk people into buying whatever games were on the table to move the queue along. :)

zeogold: I know I'm a pretty bad cheapskate, but come on, they couldn't manage better discounts than this? Maybe things will get better as it goes on, but a majority of them don't seem to be much better than your average weekly/staff pick sale. And no gift keys either unless you already own the game? I understand that they need to make money and there might be an issue with key reselling, but this sort of killed my desire to participate, as well as the inability to see the store page.

And the whole buy-ten-games-get-one-free thing is utterly, utterly ridiculous, in my opinion.
Haha, there is nothing wrong with being cheapskate and I 100% agree - considering that it goes so fast, games appear randomly and copies are limited one would expect some ULTRA DEVASTATING SALES making whole thing worth attention.
I had a short fling with Serpent in the Staglands, but that's about it. I don't have the stamina to keep up with all those insomniac sheep.

I have read comments about Amalur that even playing on Hard, it still gets pretty easy somehow and it is possible to get overpowered. So far that seems true. So I guess, a better balancing in player's level against levels of enemies would be good. And since voicing of characters is really nice, it would be fun if main character was voiced as well.

As per Insomnia - I agree, pace is rather intense, no time for speculations and discussions about what comes next. And is it me alone, or does it seem that in previous sales games would be discounted a little bit more?
Yes I am a Insomnia virgin because the prices are too high. If only gog introduced Canadian prices like steam or bundlestars, I would loose my Insomnia virginity in a second.

Waiting for a decent Starbound discount (that probably won't happen) or Terraria that I want gift to a friend who will celebrate his birthday soon.
And I also got the image and looooong loading time bug as well :(
I'm no Insomnia virgin anymore. Got the Anno Bundle. :)

KasperHviid: I should propably have tried with a full sentence: "I found my windproof jacket and went to the beach to look for echinoid fossils."

Admittedly, I didn't get a tan. In hindsight, I realize that it was WAY misleading when I claimed that I "went to the beach".

Wishbone: Especially to your fellow Danes who know what the weather is like here right now ;-)
Recently I read the Danish people are considered as the happiest people/country in the world, is this true? If yes, you (seem to) have bad weather at least hehe ;-P

I hear about this quite often, usually in British TV programs. All I can say is, if we're truly the happiest people in the world, the rest of you lot must truly be a right bunch of miserable bastards.

Well, I guess we are probably generally quite content, but you wouldn't know it by listening to our conversations. We tend to complain a lot, about anything and everything, especially the weather.

Titanium: Isn't Denmark about 90% beach?
Not quite, although we do have an extremely high ratio of coastal line to surface area. However, it's not so much a matter of how many beaches we have, as of how many days a year it actually makes sense to go to one of them ;-)

Hmmm maybe we Germans are one of the happiest people too... ^^
Nothing for me either. Saw several games I'd like at interesting prices, but each time I couldn't bring myself to click on the purchase button, mainly because of my insane and ever-growing backlog. Enough is enough, sometimes I have to say "stop" to myself.

sunshinecorp: but at one point I saw the 50% on HuniePop while visiting the front page and I thought... what the heck, and grabbed it.
Losing one's 'virginity' to HuniePop... Sounds about right.

Yep. Suits me right for leaving myself open to attack like that. :P
And the game gives me that damn Unity graphics corruption bug or incompatibility with my drivers or whatever, I can't even play it.
I started the game and was greeted by a screen of seven VERY BLURRY girls looking right at me. My way-too-much-beer instict kicks in so I quickly divide by two and say "right, I'm taking all three point five of you home with me tonight".
