GoG sale OMG

That's all I'm saying.

I feel guilty for even mentioning it.

Play with Barbies 05% of the time.
Play with Legos 10% of the time.
Build models 20% of the time
Shopping 60% of the time.
Exlains why I buy em more than I play em.

Did you buy anything? I bought Heroes of Might & Magic series for some ~10 € year and half (I think) ago and have played only a bit of HOMM2.
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Might have made an impulse buy of Gary's Torch expansion, but you have to buy the base game too from Gog. Already have it.

Might have gotten a couple pf CC titles, but RT isn't really my mode.

Some really good deals on RPG’s over there, both new and old. All the “Enhanced” versions of classics like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, etc. are $5 a pop and Dragon Age Origins also. I’m eyeing Pathfinder: Kingmaker, heard lots of good things about it.

Can someone explain to me this Gog "Galaxy" business? The last two games I bought it functioned like the worst intrusive DRM on my Win10 OS. I've uninstalled it and cannot buy from GoG again based on my experience.

The GOG Galaxy app is like the Steam app, but apparently not as advanced. Hopefully GOG will improve it.

If you don't wish to use GOG Galaxy you can download the 'offline backup game installers' from your GOG account under each game and install them as normal.

I bought Combat Mission Afrika Korps, Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin and Close Combat 3 The Russian Front. I have them all on disc but I'd rather have the digital downloads that are optimised for modern computers. If you buy one of the Close Combat games you also get the first Close Combat game for free.

Thanks for all the comments. I have several Good Old Games and can now re-install using the offline backup game installers. Cool, and thanks!

Your welcome! [;)]

Just for the record for anyone, the GOG Galaxy basically serves as a buddy list/chat, AND so your GOG games get auto updated. It also works for MP with you friends list.

Without Galaxy, you have to manualy update your games when/if a update is released.

As someone pointed out at the top of the thread, it's like Steam but not as good.

Yeap, but they may have a partnership with Microsoft...

Can´t say till I see it. So far no idea how it´s going to work out, and some of us do need Steam if we want to play our Steam games, so will see....

One HUB for all stores is not a bad Idea, it all depends how it´s implemented.

Just my opinion.
