The Soldier of Fortune series is now on GoG.

God. I played so much of 2, just fucking DESTROYING dudes in it. You just rip people apart in that game.

I've been wanting to play SoF for a long time. The shotgun in the game looks brutal.

Also, voting is going on for 3 games right now. Winner will be free in a couple days. The choices are Shadow Warrior 2, Firewatch, or Superhot. Personally hoping SW2 wins.

cj iwakura

I went for Superhot since I heard SW2 isn't as good as 1.

anoffday

Superhot is cool, though I've already gotten it free twice now through twitch prime and games with gold.

TelMarine

Solder of Fortune 1&2? awesome!

The 10th anniversary collections have some pretty damn good deals. I pulled the trigger on the $10 one (Owlboy, Dragon Age Origins, Homeworld remastered). The $5 one is amazing too, but I have all of them except Another World/Out of this World.

Ed Gruberman

And it looks like the winning vote is for... Shadow Warrior 2!

You beat me by a few minutes. Came over to post the same thing.

it's a slow day at work so I've been sitting here watching, waiting until I could actually get through to confirm the link. I just got the email confirmation that it has been added to my account.

Betsuni

I must have got lucky since I loaded the page and clicked the "yeah I would like a free game" button just fine. WOO!!! I so wanted to buy the $5 or $10 level but realized I had all the games in them already.

emnmnme

I nabbed Shadow Warrior and got Hollow Knight, too, for good measure.

Sir Carcass

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is out out GoG. It's on sale until the 18th for 25% off and you get NWN: Diamond Edition for free. If you already own it, you get an additional 25% off.

Shadowfire

Regular price is $52.09 on GoG. That's kind of a weird amount.

I'm seeing US $19.99 regular price when I click from the announcement to the NWN:EE page. Am I missing something?

Edit: Ah, you're looking at the Digital Deluxe version. Nevermind.

Glal

Can they just fire their PR department at this point please.

I must have played through Dark Sun: Shattered Lands a million times but I can barely get a quarter of the way through Wake of the Ravager before I throw my hands up in frustration. Such a shit sequel.

Glal

I remember seeing reviews of the Dark Sun games back in the day and thinking they looked cool, but old D&D CRPG implementations tend to be hard as balls. Hell, I play actual D&D games these days and their CRPGs are still a collection of obtuse systems and DM Wants To Kill The Players difficulty...

jammu

I don't remember anything about the contents of the games, but I remember hours I spent min-maxing my config.sys and autoexec.bat to have enough low memory to run Wage of the ravager from the cd-rom.

Sir Carcass

I do know I finished Wake of the Ravager, but I think I've only played it once or twice, whereas as I've played Shattered Lands many times. It's been so long since I've played Wake of the Ravager that I barely remember anything of it, other than it was pretty buggy. They're still some of my favorite D&D games, though. The Dark Sun setting was so unique.

cj iwakura

That tweet is so ridiculously unprofessional(lacking punctuation namely) that it feels like an intern or someone with no idea of what they were doing wrote it.

DisruptedCapitalist

I tried looking for it but it seems like it's already gone. Of course the internet never forgets.

Glal

Doesn't help that it just keeps happening.

heenato

Oh. it's not an intern or someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Their community manager is a certified goose.

jdarksun

I hope they replace them soon, I'm done with GOG until they get their shit together.

heenato

It's like the fifth time and it still keeps happening, and it seems like nothing will ever be done about it. which sucks.

Kelor

Jill of the Jungle trilogy free on GOG currently.

Betsuni

Saw this in my email.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concert free for think 48 hours.

TeeMan

Awesome! Look forward to watching that this weekend. The soundtrack hasn't left my phone in years

Kind of sad it's just W3 tracks... was hoping to see Peaceful Moments or The Dike performed.

TeeMan

Has anyone given Thronebreaker a bit of a go? I'm in the market for anothrr meaty card game

anoffday

So I guess that person was fired.

heenato

Finally. It shouldn't have taken that long. I'm glad it finally did happen.

They blame someone for all those stupid posts?

Edit: Just read an article supporting the guy who got fired. They made it sound like he was victim of doxing and threats that were not warranted. Also sounds like others supported the guy and blamed GoG. If what I read here this wasn't his first mistake and just a string of mistakes and his canning was justified.

anoffday

Yeah, I'm sure he was warned before. All he had to do was just talk about the damn games.

Saw it on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/9wdcba/confirmed_gog_employee_fired_after_using_trending/

Granted, I don't know if this is confirmed or not despite him writing "confirmed." I'm not sure how much I trust a site called lulz, which is what he linked to.

DarkPrimus

Yeah I'd like to see independent confirmation from a site that has a modicum of reputability

Sir Carcass

Flashback is now available. It says it's a timed exclusive, so I guess it'll be hitting other sources later. It sounds like a pretty cool version:

• Choose to play with the original graphics and sounds from the 90’s and face an unforgiving difficulty.
• Or go with the Modern mode. You can also fine tune your experience by turning on Modern mode options independently and on the fly.
  Enhanced content:
• For the first time ever, play the Director’s Cut version featuring 2 exclusive cutscenes
• White or pink? Choose among the two iconic colors of Conrad's t-shirt
• Want to practice on a specific level? You can now play any completed level during the main adventure
• Replay any cutscene that you unlocked from the menu
• Jukebox: listen to the game's soundtrack
• Street Art gallery: earn points in the game and unlock street art pictures in the gallery
  
  Modern mode:
• Post-FX graphic filters,
• Completely remastered sound and music,
• A brand new "Rewind" function, variable according to the level of difficulty
• Tutorials for those who need a boost!

I loved this game on the Genesis, but never got the PC version. It's $9.99, but currently 10% off at $8.99.

Betsuni

I never heard of this game before. What is so special about it?

It was pretty unique when it came out. It used the rotoscoping animation of games like Another World and Prince of Persia (and played pretty much like those). It had a (IMO) decent sci-fi story with a "They Live" twist. It featured platforming and puzzle-solving, creating a pretty neat mix. I personally just liked the setting and the level design. A lot of people didn't like the puzzles and felt the game suffered because of them, and I can see that, but it never bothered me. The first level is probably the longest/hardest in that respect, so it exacerbated things having it come up first.

If you like Another World or Prince of Persia, you definitely should check it out.

Betsuni

Awesome. Thanks for that info! I'll see about picking it up now.
