HypersomniacLive: And here's supporting IAmSinistar - wouldn't want him to wake up to all this backtracking, would we now? ;-)

*snip*
Very nice of you to do so!

skeletonbow: I'm not sure it's possible to have excessive gore in a game. Someone could make a game where you have a virtual Blendtec blender and call it "Will it Blend?" where the object of the game is to blend babies and kittens, and the lid leaks, sending liquid goo all over the monitor and um... that's just the training level! I'd greenlight that for sure! :)
You're a sick puppy! lol

LynetteC: Like I haven't spent enough on games, you guys are encouraging me to go foraging around the 'Net for more! Behave yourselves! lol
Well, I found Sacred 2 Gold for $19.95 through that site skeletonbow showed you. That has the expansion already with it.

txnca: Yes you can. It is here.

real.geizterfahr: On the other hand... You can't even buy Gothic 1 alone there.

real.geizterfahr: ;)
OK, NOW I get it. That's what happens when you answer posts when you haven't had your first cup of coffee in the morning! lol

OK, I'll try real hard not to tell everyone! (loud whisper) ;-)


On another note, Banished has not shown up in a Flash Sale yet either.

Shiroshibal: PS: I don't think there was excessive gore in any of the games, at least nothing that I noticed specifically :)

...I would play that.

Actually, that game would open up a whole new level of dead baby jokes...

Goodby for now, crazy sale day. See you again on the 29th!

Definitely, although perhaps "Blender Simulator" would be more 201x era naming for it. This could be the soundtrack:

I'm starting to wonder if the images of games that have yet to appear are cases of deals that fell through and the images remained accessible due to oversight.

Shiroshibal: Also, do games from the big bundles ever go on sale seperately? I've been wanting to get HOMM3 and NWN2, since those are the games I'm most interested in their respective bundles, so should I wait or just grab them now at 60%?
avatar
skeletonbow: Generally speaking, yes. With a specific game, it depends on the game. Have a look at isthereanydeal.com for the titles you're interested in and click on the title then on history to get a price graph of the price history on any retail sites and you can get an idea how often the given title goes on sale on GOG or anywhere else for example. You can also set up a notification to get alerted if it goes on sale anywhere in particular.

When games go on sale individually though the discounts are usually lower than when they appear in bundles during seasonal promos like this though. If one of them does show up on individual sale it'd probably be for anywhere from 50-75% so 60% off right now is pretty close to what you'd likely get later on in a one off. Another option is to hit the classifieds thread in the forums and post a list of the games you have that you want to trade and list the games you're interested in above as "wants" and see if you can make a trade deal with someone.

HTH
Fml, ended up biting the bullet on the whole bundles anyway xD Still, thanks for the info :)

lostwolfe: larry can be kind of goofy fun. however, the games are...kind of riddled with crazy design issues. if you are even at all curious, then i'd suggest that you find a let's play and at least watch a little bit of that.

Thanks for the extensive info, checked out some gameplay, looked fun enough so I got it along with countless other games.. jeez, spent quite some money today lol

That is a possibility, or maybe the deals were for only so many copies at the very reduced pricing so they won't come up until the last few days. It really doesn't matter to me, I would buy it now, just wanted to see if it goes on a Flash Deal. Either way I will be getting it since I've wanted it ever since I read about it here on GOG. Sounds like an awesome game.


Again on another note, figured out why Sacred 3 is so screwed up. It is being put out first on consoles so it will be a console port for PC. The other two were PC first which is where the open world works. It is also being sold on Steam, therefore the scoring crap! Seriously WHO CARES!!! The only scoring I want is to finish the game with ALL the loot! Not some arcade rpg scoring crap! Sheesh! Is this REALLY what people want in games now?!


Rant finished...I think! ;-)

no problem. glad to be of help.

i am sort of slowly trekking my way through the old sierra classics one at a time on my youtube channel, so i'm remembering all that bad, weird, terrible design. having said that, if ever you need to see what's up [especially with those early games] feel free to take a look there:

if you /do/ go have a look, thankyou so much for watching, i very much appreciate it.

enjoy the games.

And we are back to the old format again. It does look like they will be going with the bundle deals as shown here. If you set it to list view, you will see the date they are set to be shown; DDMMYY.
Posted June 19, 2014
I updated the list of Daily Deals to show what games each bundle contains. I've also added a link to this to the main post.

The big Magrunner: Dark Pulse giveaway has ended, but we're not even half-way through the Summer Sale excitement! Keep an eye out for more giveaways (they won't be as long, so you'll need to be quick!) and gaming knowledge contests coming your way soon.

Maybe Flash giveaways? Maybe inserted in the rotation? Maybe the images we have not seen yet? There might be hope...
Posted June 19, 2014
I hope they turn the "Owned" tags back on. I can understand why they shut those offer during the big day, though.
