Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

groze: I can't recommend Soul Reaver enough, guys. This game truly is a sapphire (why not specify the gem itself? I'm getting tired of reading everything is a "GEM" over the internet).
I remember playing some game from this series few years ago. While story was interesting, one thing annoyed me and made that game unplayable, and that's camera... It would always spin around the character freely and I had rough time controlling it. So is this game the same?

stevieknix: Yeah. And different attacks had different timing, and different weapons had completely different timing as well.
I was used to using the falchion you start with, but then I picked up a polearm I was going to use for dragons/lizardmen. Could barely get a combo of ten, had to completely relearn the timing.

Schemilix: Yeah. The knife's a fucking pig to pick up.

Also, question: how do I change away from 'New User'?
Scroll up to the top of the forum pages and you can change it on the 'My Settings' tab, upper right corner. I was probably ninja'd, but, hey!
What sold after Bubble and before Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver? And also why isn't Soul Reaver doing so grand?

For old PS1 and PS2 gen console ports you dont have to suffer through the pain of those weird keyboard controls.

Use Xpadder or JoytoKey and set a controller profile for the game. Basically bind keyboard and mouse functions to the controller so you can actually play the darn thing without wanting to kill kittens.
I mean Puddle. Insomnia...

Frostyfirefly: It's a rogue game, that is, it's a dungeon crawler that is about 50% luck 50% skill, you need to move through 30 floors. You get hungry, your weapons and armor break, some enemies are too strong and you have to flee.

The appeal lies in the obssession of getting to the end with all those odds against you. The character classes differ in that one of them will get hungry really fast, the other is physically pathetic and the other is sort of balanced but is pretty much screwed without ranged weapons.

I must be an anomaly. I prefer playing "controller-designed" games with a keyboard, and I'm fairly better at them then too, especially if the gamepad uses an analog stick.
